Borrower statistical classes (BSTATs) let you generate statistics for groups of borrowers who use your library. (For example, you can create BSTATs for age groups and geographical areas for public libraries, year in school and academic major in academic libraries, and job position or department in special libraries.)
You assign a borrower a BSTAT by entering the BSTAT in his or her borrower record. You can assign multiple BSTATs to a borrower. Then you can generate daily, monthly, hourly, and snapshot reports by running the Day End Circulation Statistics process. (For information on generating reports, see Generating AdHoc Statistical Reports.)
You should have determined your BSTATs during implementation and then created them during installation. You can update the description for a BSTAT at any time. If you want to delete a BSTAT, call Horizon Customer Support for help.
