District and Site Dashboards: Highlights and Reporting

Access District and Site Dashboards to get a quick, graphical view of various library and resource data via Highlights and Reporting widgets.

Notes: Access to District and Site Dashboards requires the appropriate district setup and access level permissions. You can enable or disable widgets that appear on District and Site Dashboards. Library Manager users can also access book purchasing recommendations for their school from a Site Dashboard.

Library Manager

Active Highlights widgets show current circulation and catalog data:

• Checkouts: Number of copies currently checked out.
• Holds: Number of current pending and ready holds.
• Overdue: Number of overdue copies.
• Checked-in Today: Number of copies checked in today.
• Copies Added (current month): Number of copies added this month.
• ILLs: Number of copies your patrons checked out at other schools.
• DD Users: Number of active Destiny Discover users.

Reporting widgets show library trends during a specified time frame:

• Library Circulations: Number of checkouts.
• Most Popular: Based on active circulations.
• Items on Hold: Number of pending and ready holds.
• Library Circulations: Sublocations: Number of checkouts by sublocation.

Reporting widgets can be narrowed by a time frame (Today, This Week, This Month, This Year, or Exact Dates) and/or grade level(s).

Notes: Library metrics are for print materials only. By default, reports show data for This Week (calendar week). If you choose to narrow reports to This Year, Destiny uses the Statistical Year defined by your district.

Highlights widgets show current circulation and catalog data:

• Total of Items: Number of items in your resource collection.
• Checkouts: Number of items checked out.
• Lost/Stolen: Number of items with a status of Lost or Stolen.

Reporting widgets show current funding and status data:
