Stayed Too Long Report

The Stayed Too Long Report generates a list of active ILL requests that have remained “idle” in a selected status for greater than a specified number of days. The report can be generated for either Borrower or Lender and for one or more status categories. Regular staff can generate the report for the library under which they logged in; Customer SuperUsers can generate the report for one or more libraries within a consortium or collective (see Stayed Too Long Report for details). The report is generated in Microsoft Excel format.

To generate the Stayed Too Long Report:

  1. From the Statistics menu (see The Statistics Menu for details), select ILL Statistics – Stayed Too Long Report.
    • The Stayed Too Long Report screen displays.
