To view the Users — Active Users report:

Report data is displayed as a “line” graph, and includes a textual summary of statistics.

• The “line” graph shows a separate line for each year of the report period. Each node on a given line indicates the number of unique patrons that performed circulation transactions (checkout, check-in, renew, pay fines, etc.) during the associated month for the related year. A legend for the “line” graph is shown to the right of the graph.

• The report summary provides the following information for each entry in the listing:
  • The calendar Month during which users performed circulation transactions
  • The number of unique users that performed circulation transactions for the current calendar year and prior four years for the associated Month
  • The positive or negative percentage of change (+/-) in the number of patrons that performed circulation transactions between each calendar year and the prior year for the associated Month
  • Grand Totals are shown at the end of the summary.
