[IUG] Using Create Lists instead of Paging Lists

["Kachaturian, Andy" <akachaturian at city dot newport-beach dot ca dot us>]

Hi there,

 

We've decided to stop using the built-in Title Paging and Item Paging
reports.  We are instead using a Create List to find items with holds
that match some additional criteria. 

We're encountering the following problems:

*	The Create List is showing "Frozen Holds"
*	The Create List shows how many copies are on the shelf,
irregardless of how many requests there are (i.e. if we have 3 copies on
the shelf, and there is only 1 hold, the title is listed 3 times).

 

Is anyone else pulling holds in this manner?  Have you discovered a
means of eliminating "Frozen Holds?"

 

Thanks,

In case anyone is curious, here are more details:

 

The criteria we're using is as follows:

 

 

 

In short:  

*	a bib OR title level hold must exist (if item level, then not in
a status of Hold Shelf or In Transit since all trapped holds are
item-specific)
*	The loan rule must be 0 (meaning, not checked out)
*	The status must be either checked in, on display, or in storage
(statuses we created)
*	The item location is specific to each branch

 

We sort by item location, call#, and author

 

We are exporting:

 

 

 

In Excel, after a little formatting, it looks like this (which wastes a
lot less paper...):
