Shipping label date fix and report enhancements Tue 3/4 10pm

The NHAIS ILL System will be offline briefly tonight (Tuesday, March 4) starting at 10 o'clock to install software fixes and enhancements.

When the ability to print shipping labels for a request in Will Supply/In Process status was introduced in January, bogus due dates (like 01/01/0001) started to appear. This was because the due date can be changed by the lender when in Will Supply/In Process and is not set until the request is updated to Shipped status. With tonight's update, if shipping labels are printed by the lender when a request is in Will Supply/In Process status, the Due Date label will print but there'll be no date next to it (feel free to write one in before the material leaves your library).

Two of the new reports are undergoing a name change to better reflect their content. Borrowing Statistics will be changed to Borrowing Activity while Lending Statistics will become Lending Activity.

Descriptions associated with these reports are being changed to reflect that the reports provide information on actions taken on requests during the specified time period, regardless of when the request was created. The counts for a completed time period (such as last month or last year) will not change. Counts may change if a report is run for this month or this year because requests that are in a processing status (like Awaiting Approval or Pending) may be updated before the end of the month or year.

Other changes to these new reports include the names of three categories (listed below with their associated statuses) and the addition of Total rows for each category.
