Is there a way to find out how much money our patrons have saved by borrowing materials over a certain period of time? Thanks.

Hello Colleen,

Are you looking for something like this? You Saved Amounts - Minus Renewals

Thanks,
Eleanor

You can also turn on this feature, and it will automatically be included on receipts from Polaris.

@wesochuck yes we do have that on but my director has asked me if we can narrow down to a time period so I think the query @ebrondermajor mentions should be just what she’s looking for. Thank you both!

Yep, it is a good one, just don’t forget this caveat:

If you’re running it over a period of time that looks too far into the past, the item records, where the pricing information comes from for this report, may have been deleted.

The You Saved receipt option linked earlier is NOT affected by the deletion of item records.
