Alma Analytics Resource Guide

This guide covers how to use the Alma Analytics platform to produce robust reports. Included are instructions on accessing the Oracle-based service as well as how to use its menu driven service to build custom reports.

Local Params

Default Local Params and Holdings Local Params

Below are the default setting for Local Params (Bibliographic Details) and Holdings Local Params (Holdings Details) for Analytics.  Local Params can be changed for your institution, in which case you will have to be aware of the change locally, unfortunately the labels always remain the same no matter which tag has been assigned to that particular Param.

Param changes are performed by ExLibris and can be requested by sending in a Help Desk case.  Allow at least a week for the request to be submitted and the indexing to complete.

Note: The original spec from CAWG included only some subfields for some of the MARC fields, but ExLibris indicates that for Local Params it is all or nothing, so only the MARC tag is listed.
