New Features in Alma Analytics Presentation September 2017 Yoel Kortick | Senior Librarian

Introduction This presentation will cover selected new developments in Alma Analytics from recent releases. For a full list of recent developments see the release notes at https://knowledge.exlibrisgroup.com/Alma/Release_Notes

New Analytics Administrator Role (Sept. 2017)

New Analytics Administrator Role (Sept. 2017) Until now the ‘Design Analytics’ role had permission for both ‘Design Analytics’ and ‘Analytics Configuration’. The configuration permissions available with the ‘Design Analytics’ role were transferred to the new ‘Analytics Administrator’ role.

New Analytics Administrator Role (Sept. 2017) Users with ‘Analytics Administrator’ role can access the configuration actions in Configuration > Analytics. Users with only the ‘Design Analytics’ role can create Analytics reports, but do not have access to the Analytics configuration actions. This allows for more granularity in the assignment of roles to the staff users and therefore more control in managing Alma Analytics.

New Analytics Administrator Role (Sept. 2017) To demonstrate this new functionality we will now look at three users: Anna Anderson = has only role ‘Analytics Administrator’ Donna Anderson = has only role ‘Design Analytics’ Barbara Anderson = has both roles ‘Analytics Administrator’ and ‘Design Analytics’.

New Analytics Administrator Role (Sept. 2017) User Anna Anderson has only one role and it is ‘Analytics Administrator’

New Analytics Administrator Role (Sept. 2017) User Donna Anderson has only one role and it is ‘Design Analytics’

New Analytics Administrator Role (Sept. 2017) User Barbara Anderson has both roles ‘Analytics Administrator’ and ‘Design Analytics’

New Analytics Administrator Role (Sept. 2017) User Anna Anderson logs in and she can access the Analytics Configuration but she cannot access the Design Analytics

Removal of outliers in Benchmark Analytics (Sept. 2017) It is now possible to filter out the extreme high and low values (outliers) in benchmark analytics graphs. This gives a more accurate picture of the situation. User can put here whatever value he wants

Removal of outliers in Benchmark Analytics (Sept. 2017) This is the graph ‘Num of electronic collections in repository (total), AVG’ in the ‘Inventory Total’ tab. An ‘outlier’

New Usage via COUNTER Reports (Aug. 2017)

New Usage via COUNTER Reports (Aug. 2017) The following reports were added to the Usage via COUNTER Reports dashboard: Usage Data - Usage amounts for all material types for three calendar years ago until current date Usage Data - Usage amounts for all measure types for three calendar years ago until current date By looking at the last three years it is possible for the institution to see long term trends in what kind of COUNTER report data they have been loading. This is not for measuring usage, but rather for measuring what types of reports have been loaded.
