When looking at a list of reports, make sure to change “Limit output to” to “All” or else you won’t see all of them.
Reports only pull information out, they do not change any information on the server.
There may be multiple ways to find the same information.
Two reports that look similar may not give you the same results depending on how the report templates are built.
A 'Count' provides a number, a 'List' provides detailed information.
When you find a report you like, clone it to your own folder so you can find it again (sort of like saving a bookmark).
Circulation numbers do not exist in the database prior to September 2006.
There is a data difference between NULL and blank (blank once had something there, NULL was always empty).
There is a data difference between no price and price of $0.00.
If you find a report that gives you too much information, it is generally a better idea to filter down the results in Excel rather than recreating the report with additional filters.
