Lost or Missing Items

Learn more about the Lost or Missing Items report in WorldShare Reports in Power BI.

Overview

The Lost or Missing Items report lists the items that are in the Lost, Missing, Claimed Returned, or Claimed Never Had status. This report defaults to include all items with these statuses, but you may adjust the Item Date Declared Absent filter to enter a selected time frame as needed. A top-level KPI provides a quick statistic of the item count. You can use this report for collection development and to replace absent items.
