Question:
I just installed the trial version of Handy Library Manager. It seems to have all the features we are looking for, except a way to track how often a particular item has been checked out. For example, we would like to be able to identify which items are checked out more than once a year, and which items are never checked out. Is this feature available? If so, where? If not, is it something you are working on?

Answer:
Usage Tracking:
- How many times have library items been checked out?
- How can I display a list of items that have never been loaned out?
- How can I view the number of checkout transactions per month?
- How many times have library patrons borrowed items, grouped by each patron?
We offer support with SQL queries.
