Counter Reports

With Inqwell Counter data model, you can implement any Counter Release 4 reports.
Counter Release 3 reports are also supported but not part of the standard offer.

An automated data processing is in charge of consolidating event data first to an daily level then to a monthly level.
Counter reports rely on this monthly level. According to the report requested, data is being filtered in a specific way. As consequence it is necessary to correctly send event & reference data so they get counted in the correct report.
We describe below requirements in order to understand how to send data in the right way

All standard Counter reports may not be useful for your business. In the other hand you may require some of the optional reports. This can be handle during the setup phase.

Also depending your organisation & business, some tables or columns can be skipped

  • Zero usage: this is not mandatory, so if you don’t want this feature, you can just skip extraction of tables required in the corresponding sheet of the Counter data model

  • Article reference data is mandatory for Journal Report 5 (R4), no need to send it if this report is not for you.

  • Some fields may not be relevant (ex article in press flag), in such case these fields can be left to blank.

Mandatory

Please inform Squid Solutions during setup phase of the list of feeds or fields you would like to skip
