AAM Report Headings
AAM report headings are the titles which appear above each circulation amount on the Daily Circulation Report and the History report (both required for AAM reporting). The circulation amount itself is made up of one or more AAM columns.
Report headings are user-defined and usually break down circulation totals horizontally by use or delivery method. The reports are organized vertically by product and, within each product, by AAM zone plus Bulk, Unpaid, and Paid Complimentary (see the example of the Tribune Daily Circulation Report on The Tribune - Daily Circulation Report). The Paid Complimentary AAM report heading and content are automatically printed, rather than being user-defined. However, you must set up AAM report headings for your AAM zones and the Bulk and Unpaid AAM report areas. See AAM Column for more information on setting up AAM columns.
Headings for price levels (see the previous option) are also defined here.
To set up report headings:
In character Circulation, select AAM Report Headings from the AAM menu to display the AAM Report Heading screen.
Select Add and complete the following fields.
| Field | Type | What to enter |
|---|---|---|
PRODUCT | setup | Enter the ID of the product for which you wish to set up report headings. |
ENTITY TYPE | predefined | Indicate whether you are defining a heading for an AAM Report Area (headings for the standard AAM reports) or an AAM Price Level (headings for the AAM price level reports). |
ENTITY ID | setup | Enter the AAM Report Area or price level for this heading. If Entity Type is set to “AAM Report Area”, Entity may be set to “bulk”, “unpaid”, or any user-defined AAM zone. If Entity Type is set to “AAM Price Level”, any valid AAM price level, “bulk”, or “unpaid” may be entered. Note: “Bulk” circulation will be reported under “Third Party Sales” on the price level reports. |
HEADING 1ST LINE | open (8) | Enter the first line of the report heading. Report headings may be one or two lines long. If you use a one-line heading, enter it in Heading 2nd Line so that it is positioned immediately above the column. |
HEADING 2ND LINE | open (8) | Enter the second line of the report heading or enter the first line for a one-line heading. |
COLUMN ORDER | integer (10) | Enter the order in which this report heading should appear horizontally on the report(s). Order the report headings by increments of 10, so that new columns can be inserted later. |

Select Accept to enter the report heading and associated specific information into the database.
