Item activity tracking in Horizon tracks the activity of an item record from the time when you import the MARC records for the item into Horizon until the item is made available in Circulation. Your library may want to track the MARC import source of items for budgeting reasons. (For example, you may need to report the number of items that your library imports from a specific vendor to determine the budget for items from that same vendor in the upcoming year.)
For every item with a trackable status, Horizon records activity such as creation date, circulation date, collection, MARC import source, report printing date, and so forth. You can view activity for items in the List Item Activity window and print an Item Activity report for these items. This report can help you determine how long it takes your library to process a specific item.
