====== Reports Wish Lists ======
//Originally compiled at the 2011 Evergreen Conference.//
===== Needed Reports =====
  * Money owed from one library to another
  * Patrons by statistical category  **Brian Feifarek** //In progress//
  * Money received by day and category
  * Title list that could be loaded into a bucket or run without accessing the reports interface
  * Missing data report: what records are missing x field
  * Missing/inaccurate patron data fields
  * What items patrons are borrowing from others(?)
  * Collection development/collection analysis reports: gaps in the collection, items not checked out in x period of time; weeding report; turnover report; shelf list turnover report
  * Inactive patrons    **Brian Feifarek** //In progress//
  * Average use of collection(s), average patron use
  * Owed bill report with itemized transactions

===== Interface/Module Improvements =====
  * More humanly-readable reports: List with titles/authors in “natural” case, spaces in call numbers ignored
  * Obvious mistakes are dropped
  * Reports that may be run without accessing the report interface; can be run with just a few clicks (e.g. “director’s station)
  * Ability to tweak reports without cloning or recreating the entire report; e.g. change email address of recurring report without having to clone or recreate
  * Export templates to share across libraries/Evergreen installations
  * Auto-kill for hanging report (e.g. reports run for 30 minutes and then are killed)
  * User-friendly interface
  * SQL and statements to do multiple comparisons on a column

===== Uncategorized =====
  * 3rd party reporting tools: “do they work with EG?” list: GIST weeding report; Gift and deselection tool; fiscal reporting
