---|
You may wish to re-run your typical standard COUNTER 5 reports if you regularly (or occasionally) delete/clean up COUNTER 5 usage data files in the License Manager application. You may find the need to re-harvest certain months of COUNTER 5 usage data in License Manager to re-sync the data with WorldShare Reports. |
If you manually harvest any COUNTER 5 usage files, you may wish to re-run any reports containing manually harvested usage data to ensure accurate results for your relevant reporting period(s). |
WorldShare Reports COUNTER 5 reporting will now better synchronize with harvested WorldShare License Manager usage data, as recorded in the License Manager harvest summary. Specifically, the following new behaviors are followed:
Note: If the next most recent file is expired, no data will be loaded. You should re-harvest data in License Manager for that usage month/vendor/report type and view your COUNTER 5 reports the following day in WorldShare Reports.
The above behaviors apply to COUNTER 5 usage data only. The COUNTER 4 data processing components were not modified as part of this release. We encourage you to utilize COUNTER 5 for your e-resource usage reporting needs.
