This is something we would be interested in to as there are some reports we would like to give to the Stock Librarians only and so restrictions can be places on when they are run too. *** Bug 10903 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Would also be nice to limit access to reports by the home library of the staff. Some reports are specific to the needs of just one library. Some reports are in development for a while. And so on. As reports proliferate over time, libraries would welcome any option that reduces the number of reports visible to them. Having the ability to limit who can see which reports would help a lot at PCCLD. It would certainly clean up the report module and make relevant reports easier for staff to find.

If the field is empty, it applies to everyone. Otherwise, it would be limited to matching borrower IDs or branches. Shame this enhancement hasn't got any traction, but I thought of a kludge that would work in a pinch -- Add a comment with a unique string to all reports in a particular grouping (e.g., for circ staff, a particular branch, etc.), then use the string in the keyword filter on the left. Only reports with that particular string will then be shown in the Reports module. In theory, multiple strings could be used to cover reports in more than one group. I believe the keyword filter is actually doing a phrase search, though, so some careful planning would be required. As I said, a kludge ... We're also interested in this enhancement for reports. We've accumulated a large amount of reports since joining in 2014. Many of these are kept for reference and as a record. Since these are not useful for the majority of our staff, we'd like these to be hidden in a restricted Report Group. It would make it a clutter-free experience for staff to search reports while allowing access to those that may need it. |
