Create Fines and Fees Report

These instructions are for creating a Fines and Fees report. 

The Fines and Fees Report is a downloadable Excel file that includes a report of the fines and fees transactions that have been performed over the prior 7 day period. This report allows you to specify the following filters:
  • Received by library – Filters by the library at which the fine/fees were paid. This filter cannot be used for reporting waive actions.
  • Received by circulation desk – If a library is specified, filters by the circulation desk at which the fine/fees were paid. This filter cannot be used for reporting waive actions.
  • Transaction types – Filters by the type of transaction:
    • Payment and Waive – includes both payments and waivers
    • Payment – includes only payments
    • Waive – includes only waivers
  • Fine owner – Filters by the owner of the fine/fee, which may or may not be the same location where the fine or fee was paid or waived.
Reports can be sent to a specific user or your library's Alma email.
