Browse Reports

Concepts

The Browse Reports function allows libraries to retrieve current and past reports without needing an emailed link.

Reports are organized within three sections:

• Browse Scheduled Output - standard reports that are setup to run on specific days; includes Overdue Shelfists, statistics, etc.
• Run Ad Hoc Reports - specialty reports that libraries can run and view current information
• Wireless Reports - statistics for wifi usage

"How do I use the Report Browser?" is a link that opens this TWiki document within the Browse Reports tab.

Access Browse Reports

The Browse Reports function is accessible from the Staff Client home screen. This opens the reports interface in a new Chrome tab.

Login to the Report Browser

Access the reports using your Evergreen client login.
