Generate Resource Inventory Reports
During inventory, you can generate two types of inventory reports, which include all resource types:
- In-Progress Inventory includes a Barcode Report and a Barcode XML File. If the inventory only includes the textbooks template, then the Barcode Report displays the ISBN instead of the Home Location.
- Completed Inventory includes a Barcode Report that lists only barcoded items, a Barcode XML File and Resource Count report. The Resource Count report includes only unbarcoded items and ISBN. If the inventory only includes textbooks, then the Barcode Report displays the ISBN instead of the Home Location.

- Access the report in one of the following ways:
If you select: Then: Reports > Resource Reports In the Inventory Control section, select In-Progress Inventories.
