Product description
The eUsage app allows you to manage usage data reports for electronic resources.
The core library tasks of acquiring, cataloging and making information accessible increasingly relate to e-resources, especially e-journals and e-books. Continuous price increases, especially for journals, make a complete supply impossible for financial reasons. In order to make the best possible use of the limited budget, a comprehensive usage analysis of e-resources is an important part of the evaluation process. Usage statistics provide information on how the resources are used and are helpful in deciding whether a license should be extended. With the eUsage application for FOLIO, we want to collect COUNTER usage statistics and non-COUNTER reports from numerous providers in order to evaluate the e-resources.
Documentations
The documentation for eUsage can be read on the website https://docs.folio.org/docs/erm/eusage/.

Status active or inactive for UDP data records
Select a Provider status: Active or Inactive. The active status is selected by default. The status you select here defines whether the data record for the usage data provider is active or inactive. The status is used to filter records. The default filtering in eUsage is to show all records with active provider status, instead of basing this on the harvesting status. If you select the inactive option, for example because the provider no longer provides statistics, but you still want to keep the data, eUsage checks this status with the selected harvesting status. This means that you cannot have an inactive provider status if the harvesting status is still active. In this case, eUsage will offer you options.
Status active or inactive within UDP data records
Search filter for status of UDP data record
Integration of a Month picker
New Month picker component based on stripes
Month picker within the section to exporting statistics
Month picker within the harvest configuration of a UDP
Others
New order of UI elements within the edit mode of a UDP. On the one hand, the input sequence is more logical, and on the other hand, a feature should be added in the future that checks the credentials after the data has been entered and which reports are offered by the provider.
SUSHI API is now called COUNTER API. The name is to be used from version Counter Release 5 onwards. For this reason, the text has been updated in various places in the user interface.
