About the report: Count of the total selfcheck transactions by library. 

The report lists the checkouts and renewals attributed to selfchecks at your library.  This will be different than the counts you get from the reports on the selfchecks due to a couple of reasons:

  • Selfcheck renewals made by a patron scanning the item through the Checkout screen on the selfcheck show on the selfcheck's report as a Checkout but will show in Bibliovation as a Renewal. 
  • Selfcheck renewals made at your location for an item that was originally checked out at another library will show on your selfcheck's report as either a Checkout (if done through the Checkout screen) or a Renewal (if done through the Account screen).  However, in Bibliovation, the renewal will be credited to the original checkout library. 

This means that the numbers on this report will not be the same as what is on the reports run on the selfchecks themselves. 

If libraries want to know how much their selfchecks are being used, they should run the reports on their selfchecks instead. Also, if they want the transactions by individual selfcheck, they'll still need to use the reports on the individual selfchecks as this report only lists the totals for all selfchecks as Bibliovation cannot tell which selfcheck was used.
