Generating usage report by IP range, not just single IP address
In LibCentral we can download usage reports for one specific IP address at a time. If you need reports covering a whole IP range you have to email support to receive that. It would be very nice to generate those reports from LibCentral.

LibCentral title reports enhancement request - total user access
For limited user access titles (1U or 3U licenses) we often want to know the total user access we have currently, and as far as I'm aware there's no way to extract this from the current admin reports.
Generating title reports, there is no total user access information. There are "copies" and "access model" but there is no way to easily calculate the total access from these columns.
For example we have a title that shows as 4U access when you search in LibCentral. However the same title on the title report has:
Copies - 3
Access model - 1-user,…6 votes -
Retain and provide usage for full calendar years
This idea is closely related to another that address availability of 2018 usage. It is very important for subscribers to have monthly usage totals for titles for a full calendar year in order to have complete and accurate usage counts. When titles with usage are deleted or omitted from a report based on the run date of the report rather than retained and provided for the date range selected, valuable product history is lost – history that customers use for making renewal and/or purchasing decisions.

Add document type 'Textbook' to available search refinements, and within usage reports.
It would be great to be able to quickly refine the owned content list to textbooks only, and from there extract a spreadsheet of your textbook model titles with relevant information. It would also be great to report on textbook model usage separately and quickly.
7 votesThank you for submitting this great idea to our exchange! We are reviewing this and keep voting and adding comments and questions on this enhancement, as we continue our evaluation. Much appreciation, Rayna Stowe
