Introduction
• There may be cases where the library has created a useful report, chart or graph in Alma analytics and certain librarians will want to run it.
• The option here of creating an “Analytics Object” of type “Report” allows the librarian to run an Alma Analytics report “on demand”.
• This differs from the “Scheduled Report” because it is not sent by mail.
• This differs from the widget because it does not appear on the dashboard.
• The advantage here is that a librarian can run a report without entering Alma Analytics

Introduction
• In our case we will use a report of the average time a vendor takes to send an ordered item.
• The report is called “SS Items ordered with sent date and receiving date and TIMESTAMPDIFF and average" in directory “/Shared Folders/Alma University/Reports/Igelu 2014/”
• We will call the Analytics object report “Average arrival time by vendor”
