Addon:RepositoriesReport

This is a Third-party Addon.

Please note that some Addons have prerequisites that need to be installed before they can be used. This Addon/Plugin system is controlled by the Plugin Manager

It will list repositories and their related sources information, such the call number or the type. Repository stores sources. I use this report for displaying some sources information before going to a repository (like an archive).

There is a quick view on 3.1, which does the same thing on active repository. Thanks to Alex Roitman, who generated the "technical part" of the code ...

Alternate

There is an additional experimental RepositoriesReport, which tries to provide user-options for additional source information (author, publication information, abbreviation, data), preformatted notes for source or repository, primary media on source, also allows to hide private records (repository, source, note, media) and supports multi-language.

Development

Limitations

• As this is a textual report, there is no changes on database. It just retrieves information from database. No need to make a backup before using this report.
• As code is not very complex, it should not introduce mistakes on output. If there is an error, then there is a valid email address at the end of the plugin.

• RepositoriesReport.py (3.1.x) was inspired by Place Report.

Generated with :

Coding way is not very quick or standard but is easy to understand and plugin does the job.
