Sometimes librarians want to create a simple list report with items from one group (one category, one reading level, one subject, one grade, or age level).
In this report sample we will show how to create a list of books with the reading level equal 5+. Items in the report will be grouped by category. The report will include book title, author, book type, level, and number of pages.
The report will be created in two steps. In the first step we will define the search to display only books that have the level 5+. The report will be defined in the second step. The reading level value is stored in the LEVEL data field.
Open the Library Main Catalog window.
Click the Advanced Search tab to define the search.
Select LEVEL in the Field (1) box, select Is Equal To in the Condition (2) box, enter 5+ in the Value (3) box. Click Include (4).
Click Search (5) to execute. Only items that have 5+ level will be displayed in the library window.
In the Report (6) box select NEW REPORT.
Print Reports starts with 3 preselected data fields, click Red Arrow icon to remove them.
Scroll down and up in the All Fields (1) box and select the following data fields: TITLE, AUTHOR, TYPE, LEVEL, PAGES. When data field name is selected in the All Fields box click Green Arrow icon to include it in the Included Fields (2) box.
In the grouped report you have to define Grouped By and then decide which data fields will be included in the Group Header.
In the Group By (3) box select CATEGORY.
In the All Fields box select CATEGORY. Use Green Arrow icon to include the selected field in the Group Report Header (4).
To adjust the column with select the field in the Included Fields box enter the column width and click the Set Width button.
Click the Preview Report button to review the report.
Review the whole report in the Report Preview window.
Close the preview and click the Print Report button to print.
