SUSHI Harvest Set Up Project

Apr 09, 2020

  1. Take the Vendor and search them in the Vendor Search in Alma

  2. Look for the all caps vendor code to indicate the Access Provider record and edit it

  3. Click on the Usage Data tab

  4. Log into the Vendor's site using the information in the spreadsheet

  5. Look at the reports offered (we really want Counter 5 if possible) and find the SUSHI information

  6. Do Add SUSHI account and click the correct Counter version

  7. Fill in the Sushi Vendor (use the search to find the Vendor you are looking for that should auto populate the URL and other information

  8. Go to the Requestor section and fill in what you have from the site. If you used a Customer ID to login or it's listed in the SUSHI information fill that in along with the Requestor ID or API key

    1. If you doing a Counter 5 vendor you then need to add the reports, just add everything and save

    2. If you are doing Counter 4 you need to do a Sushi Account for each report type you want to harvest (do the ones listed and add any others of the same type)

      1. For example, if the sheet lists JR1 then do that one and one to harvest the JR5, one to harvest the JR1GOA, one to harvest the JR1a and one to harvest the JR2 as well if they are available

  9. If you are setting up Counter 4 reports you will need to repeat steps 6-8 for each report you want to harvest.

  10. Once you finish save again to save the vendor record

  11. Mark your initials on Column A

  12. If you cannot set up the harvest put "error" in Column A and then go to the Error column and pick the reason why (see details below):

    1. If the login failed choose Login (no need for a note here)

    2. If the vendor site doesn't have information on SUSHI, doesn't offer SUSHI, doesn't seem to have any usage reporting, etc (put a short note explaining) choose Vendor

    3. If you can't find the Vendor in Alma OR the record won't save or does something else strange put Alma and add a note saying what happened

  13. Rinse and repeat.
