About WorldShare group reports
Overview
WorldShare Groups can use the tools available in WorldShare group reports to monitor your group's activity within the WorldShare application, including reports on WorldShare activity and cataloging work in Record Manager.
To use WorldShare group reports, your group will need to meet the following prerequisites:
- Your group must be set up as a WorldShare Group.
- All group member institutions must be Report Designer customers.
- Your group must designate administrators. Group report administrators will see all data for the group (e.g., Circulation Administrators will see all patron and circulation data across the group). Please confirm your WorldShare Group leadership is aware and accepting of this functionality.
If your group meets the prerequisites above, contact analyticsfeedback@oclc.org and include each user's:
- Name
- Barcode
- Institution name
- Institution symbol
- Roles that need to be provisioned to the user
Note: The request for HELIN requires a chair to grant permission.
The OCLC Analytics team will be responsible for applying the necessary group roles to allow the admin user to perform group-level reporting. OCLC Analytics will provide additional information about running these reports and understanding the output.
Note: When you are in group scope, all universes have a 500,000 row limit.

Caution: The files that appear in My Files do not have any additional security/privacy, so any user with access to My Files in your institution will be able to open and view them. Please use caution if you create reports that contain sensitive data. You may wish to continue to utilize "Default Enterprise Location" for cases where data is sensitive and you wish to limit who can view the output.
You can schedule standard and custom group reports using WorldShare Reports and Report Designer.
