How to Find and Run a SQL Report
What are reports for?
Reports are used to find and present data about the information on the system in a structured manner. Reports use SQL to ask questions of the Koha database.
How to find reports on your system
Go to the Reports module on the Koha home page and click on it.
This will take you to a new page. Under Guided reports click Use saved and you will be brought to a new page with a table of all the reports currently on your system.
This will take you to a new page with a table of reports already saved on your site
At the top of this table there is a search box. Search for the title or number of the report, or for a keyword. This will narrow the list of reports to ones related to the search.
How to run a report
Once you have found the report you want to run, go to the right hand side of the row the report is on and click Run.
