History

The Circulation History Report resembles the Daily Circulation Report, but it can be run for a range of dates instead of a single day. For each AAM zone, plus bulk and unpaid, circulation figures are displayed for the specified AAM columns. The report includes returns and press room information. Also, while the Daily Circulation Report includes a recap of paid complimentary draw near the bottom of the report, this report does not.

Notes:

• You can print the Circulation History report for a 3-month date range to produce a quarterly circulation report.

• AAM zones and report headings are defined in Setup. See AAM Zone in the Setup Manual for more information.

• Business Rules determine whether days of the week are reported and totaled separately, and, if so, which days. This is an AAM requirement if paid circulation is 25% higher on one day of the week (such as Sunday).

• To compile a quarterly report for the AAM, do not select the Include All Dates checkbox. Then, to get true circulation figures for internal purposes, run the report again with Include All Dates selected. The Press Room History option (on the Publishing menu) determines what, if any days will be flagged as “Exclude from AAM”.
