Question:
I am planning to print our standard report and was wondering if it is possible to print the report in order by Dewey number (as they would be found on the shelves) rather than in alphabetical order by title. Being able to print the report this way would save me a lot of time when I inventory the library, but I can't seem to figure out how to filter the report. I would appreciate any input you may have at your convenience.

Answer:
You can print a report sorted by Dewey number. You can sort by any data field, and this order will be reflected in your report. In the example above, we demonstrate how to sort by CALL.

Question: How to print list of items donated by patron and by year?

Answer: The library item includes a field labeled "DONATED_BY." If you enter your donors' names in this field, you can easily create a search that will display all donated books (where the DONATED_BY field is not empty). Once you have the list of books, click on the "Reports" feature to select a predefined report or create a new one. Review the report layout or design a new one according to your needs, and then print it. You can also include additional information about the report's content and send any questions to our support team. Be sure to check the help topics related to reports for more assistance.
