Shared with Me lists analyses and dashboards that you can: run directly from the list, subscribe to (if the analysis is scheduled), or pin to the Analytics menu. Some of the analyses and dashboards are created for general use to run interactively from the Analytics menu, others are scheduled reports for specific libraries or departments. Reports created for specific libraries or units will have a prefix for the library or unit such as GUT, HLITS, LAW, etc. General use analyses are identified by the functional area prefix in the title. For example:  ACQ = Acquisitions; ERES = E-Resources; FIN = Finance; FUL = Fulfillment; RES = Resource Management

To open the list select the Analytics menu in Alma and click on Shared With Me.

If your unit has a directory under /_Departmental Reports, search for that location to view reports on the list for your unit (such as KSG, or HL ITS) or search locations used for general reports by subject area such as "Funds Expenditure" or "Physical Items".
