Announcements | As your Product Council members, we are both in search of 3 people’s opinions on “Things that could be better about FOLIO”. Please DM Charlotte Whitt or Jennifer Eustis on Slack if you’d like to help us, identify topics which you'd like us to bring back to the Community Council (CC), Technical Council (TC) and Product Council) and add to the list started by Tom Cramer. Big thanks for all help/input/comments/concerns in advance Topics can be about the product and/or the project/community. Thomas Trutt - new PO for Item States | |||||||||||||||||
PC update | PC meetings has introduced a new schedule: Thursdays 10 am - 10:55 am EST 3 new subgroups:
Meeting times to be more inclusive for people not is Europe and US. List App: This app was approved by the PC, From chat: discussion about shortening MM SIG meetings as 90 minutes is a barrier to having people join. It was an old decision to have 90 min meetings that should be reconsidered. Laura offered to lead a conversation to follow up with this suggestion at a later time. List App: This app was approved by the PC, but the TC review is still in process. Will meet tomorrow for final decision. Quesnelia release: Proposal to set the initial date for the planned Quesnelia release until April 29th - [draft] Quesnelia (R1 2024) - The date is picked to avoid conflict with Easter Holiday and Spring Breaks. | |||||||||||||||||
TestRails | Creating/Updating TestRails Presentation slides:
If folks in MM SIG have time or inclination–it would be fantastic to have help with writing some of the cases that pertain to existing JIRA's or tests that relate to workflows, etc. that we work with in day-to-day life. From chat: Laura "Big plug here for more "real-life use cases" -- so many of the issues that surface for us after an upgrade might have been found if we'd done this." View presentation slides for: key terminology used by TestRails; how to get started contributing to TestRails; how to find (and/or create) tests to work on; sample TestRail cases. For guidance on navigating TestRails it may be useful to watch recording of today's meeting. | |||||||||||||||||
Removing blank spaces from some data elements |
Continuation of discussion from last week's meeting. JIRA for adding copy icon to Instance Classification:
UXPROD-3473 : Strip leading, trailing, and double spaces out of data in some elements (instance, holdings, items) Spaces get saved and are indexed that way WolfCon conversation just discussed leading and trailing spaces; if we limit to just leading and trailing then developers will be able to address this issue We should think about which elements we want this for (or for which we would NOT want this) Leading and trailing spaces should not be stored - can't think of a use case where we would want whitespace retained | |||||||||||||||||
Container Records | Sara Colglazier | https://wiki.folio.org/x/5wISC - if you have use cases not currently covered, add to this page for App Interaction to discuss Updates from App Interaction - do we still need container records or do these updates cover all of our use cases? Sara Colglazier - Package POL has not actually changed since the beginning; would like to see some enhancements to the functionality of the "Package POL"; would also like to rename Package POL since it is misleading (perhaps "Container POLs"?) "Packages" are not only useful for e-resources: Sara thinks Package POL's are useful for ongoing orders, approval plans - demonstrated creating a Package POL in Orders App; linking titles to Package POL; Analyzed or Monographs Classed Separately titles–all on separate Instance records but can be linked to one Package POL Right now, links to Packages can only be made at the Instance level; don't need separate PO's created for each item rec'd on an Approval plan (or titles that are lumped together under one payment) Demonstrated linking to an Inventory search from Package POL to list all titles included in Package (used Keyword search using "Container code" which is added locally to an 035 in MARC record)–a way to manage e-resources by creating sets Also useful for print + online subscriptions; e-book collections |
