Your Edelweiss homepage is quite customizable.

There are, among many other options, a few Analytics widgets you can add to be sure to keep your collection management and analysis tools right at the forefront of your work space.

We’ll work down the list in the image above and give a brief explanation of what each widget will show.

State of the Collection Report

This widget will act as a reminder of sorts, of the 4 measures shown in your most recent State of the Collection Report, along with a link to your full report.

This reflects the first page of your State of the Collection Report, and, again, serves as a reminder of your latest trajectory…timely when you’re about to dive in to complete some collection development tasks.

If you have multiple locations, you can set as many of these widgets as you like, one for each location if you wish, by clicking the gear icon and updating the location.

 

Just add another/more State of the Collection Report widget(s) and adjust the location of each as needed.

Most Popular Titles

This widget will show the most popular titles among a selected market, along with market data, and your library’s stats.

The green checkmark means you have it! Yellow checkmarks mean it is on order at your library.

You can set market, time frame, location, family vs. ISBN, and saved filter parameters by clicking in to the gear icon.

So, you can easily have multiple widgets here: one for literary fiction, one for history, one for kids board books…and even one for each of your branches if you like.

Popular Title You Don’t Have

It’s all in the title here. So this widget will show you selections from the most popular titles in a given market that you do not own.

They may or may not be on order (the bottom line will tell you) but they’re certainly not on your shelves.

The gear icon will allow you to set those familiar parameters:

Top Not Yet Released Titles

This widget will show you the most-ordered-by-the-most-stores titles. Yellow checkmarks mean you have them on order.

Customize using the usual parameters, as well a pub date range.
