When we migrated from Dynix to Spydus I was keen that we didn't lose more management information than we needed. I ran copies of the canned reports and all the usual suspects but there were two things I particularly wanted to preserve:
- I wanted to be able to give the stock manager an overview of the state of the collections at each library.
- We had 21 years' worth of data in Dynix's Statistical Reports Manager and I wasn't keen to lose all that management information.
So I wrote some Recall reports to strip out the data in text format. These are the Recall Vocs and the local dictionary items that I used.
