...

• different workflows in different institutions to generate numbers (some outside FOLIO, some inside FOLIO)

• University Libarary of Leipzig is funding development

• development is done by K-Int

• Number generator is available in Settings > Service Interaction

• Martina demoes functionality on Snapshot

• Available number generators as a table under Settings > Service Interaction

  • ILL: Patron Request Number

  • Inventory: Accession Number

  • Inventory: Call Number

  • Inventory: Item barcode

  • Open Access: Publication request number

  • Organizations: vendor code

  • Srrials Serials management: Pattern number

  • Users: Patron barcode

• Automatically assigned with one sequence - e.g. OA request number

• or users can choose from sequences via a modal

• use case: user barcode has different sequences for different user types

• in the table users can see how many sequences are available per number generator

• next value is displayed in table, maximum value, usage status

• Number generator sequences available under Settings > Service Interaction

  • user can choose from different generators

  • output template is where sequences are designed

  • in fourth pane details for sequences are displaye

...

• • displayed

  • sequences can be created, edited, deleted

  • sequences can be enabled or disabled

• there is a warning when the sequence threshold is nearly reached

• start of sequence can be defined

• format field where e.g. padded numbers can be added

• checksum, output template, note field

• information icons with help texts

• Martina outlines further functionality via slides

• there will be different number generator options, have it on or off or have it on but editable

• on a user record for a barcode users will be able to select the generator from a drop-down list - the team is working on it

• searchable via type-down including extra info such as threshold

• E.g. for Items there are different numbers, for each users can choose whether they should be on, off, or editable

• when numbers are the same they can be equaled and one number is generated for two fields

• for receiving there will be an icon and then the numbers can be generated

• if the wrong number is generated, can the number be deleted

  • yes, but the number would be lost

  • user needs to store (save and close) the record at the end

• what if people are working simultaneously and generate numbers at the same time

  • a number is only generated once

• Charlotte: when we are duplicating item records - we need to take care that the numbers are not duplicated as well

• Maura: can numbers be printed > no, that is out of scope

  • Charlotte: might not be too difficult

  • we already have something similar in Circulation

  • FOLIO Snapshot - then if you see: Settings > Circulation > General > Staff slips > Hold

• Martina will present in MM and ACQ SIG and Users as well

• Dung-Lan: what does the number generator for Serials records do

  • Owen: we allocate a sequential number to the pattern - a human readable number to identify the pattern

I wonder if it's worth revisiting our discussions from several years ago about cross-app searching now that the "lists" app is being developed -- how many of the use cases might be overlapping?
