Generate a Textbook Checkout Summary report (Textbook Manager)

The Textbook Checkout Summary helps you determine the number and percentage of students who do not have the required textbooks for their current classes.

Destiny considers a student to be without textbooks if they are missing at least one of the assigned textbooks for a class.

If you generate the report for a single school, it can also include, for each textbook, a list of the students who do not have that item.

Important: To generate a meaningful report, your school or district must have set up the classes and their sections, and assigned students and textbooks to them in Admin > Update Classes.

In addition, you must have checked out the textbooks to the students (on any tab: To Patron, By Class, or reassigned in To Teacher).

Note: The report does not include Teacher's Editions or Resource Kits, even if they are assigned to a class. It counts only Actual Students Assigned, not Enrollment Estimates.

To generate the report:

Important: Textbooks checked out by ISBN appear on this report.

Report Details

A report for a single school lists the following information:

  • Class Name and ID
  • Section
  • Number of enrolled students
  • Each assigned textbook title
  • Number of students with that textbook
  • Number of students without that textbook
  • Names and barcode numbers of students without that textbook (if selected)

A report for All Sites lists the following information:

  • School name
  • Number of enrolled students at the school
  • Number of enrolled students missing at least one textbook, and its percentage of the total enrolled students
  • Total number of enrolled students at all schools
  • Total number of enrolled students missing at least one textbook at all schools

Sort Order

An All Sites report lists the schools in alphabetical order.

A report for a single school is also in alphabetical order. For each school, it sorts by classes, then associated sections, then textbook titles, and finally, student names (if included).
