Ability to share publication patterns between tenants

Description

Current situation or problem:
In an ECS enabled FOLIO system there is no ability to share publication patterns between tenants. To make this possible it must also be possible for a user to apply a pattern they created for title A to title B

In scope
Allow serials management users from Tenant A to use a pattern that was defined by serials management users of Tenant B

Allow a serials management pattern that was used for title A to be applied to title B

Out of scope
Ability to import publication patterns into a tenant from external sources

Definitely - I’d be happy to

I would most certainly defer to you regarding the most logical way to achieve this. Ultimately users are looking for the following:

They would like to be able to reuse patterns from one order to the next

They would also like to be able to share the burden of managing these patterns across one or more institutions.

In FOLIO perhaps it makes sense that this would be accomplished by “sharing” a serial record and allowing users to duplicate them, or something along those lines. If you have a chance perhaps we could discuss this with Consortia SIG after the resource management folks have weighed in on it?

We should also discuss sharing patterns vs sharing serial records - possibly the latter would make more sense (as it would obviate the need to share the patterns) - I think we need some discussion of the usage scenarios and the outcomes we need to be aiming for

This would be dependent on the ability to manage pattern templates in a single tenant to begin with.
