Announcements and Reminders

Sharon

Announcements:

  • About the Reporting SIG meeting schedule

    • Meetings are held on the first 4 Mondays of each month at 11:00 am Eastern U.S. time (see this time in your time zone). The first and third Mondays focus on Reporting Development topics, and the second and fourth Mondays focus on Reporting Business topics. 

    • "business" means topics like presentations on reporting functionality and new features, new reporting applications, surveys and studies on reporting, etc.

    • "development" means working on derived tables and report queries for the folio-analytics GitHub repository

    • "workshopping" queries could be scheduled during any of these meetings, and it would be great to have topics and/or questions in advance so we can prepare to walk through the answers/approaches, such as "how to I fix this inventory query to get rid of the duplicates?" or "what is the best way to calculate totals in this finance query?" 

Ongoing Topics:

  • Workshopping your queries

    • part of each Reporting SIG business meeting will be devoted to time to work through any query questions you may have

    • please reach out to Christie Thomas if you have a question you would like to "workshop" during an upcoming Reporting SIG meeting

  • Impacts of New Fields and Features (Sharon)

  • Upcoming Reporting SIG meeting topics (tentative)

    • Derived Tables

    • Reporting App use at various institutions

    • More Metadb training

  • Any new members?

    • Welcome/introductions

SIG Recruitment:

We will need to be recruiting for a variety of roles in the coming months. Please consider whether you would be interested. Please reach out to Scott Perry or Sharon Markus with any questions.

  • Representative for the Documentation Working Group 

LDP Retirement Date Reminder

Sharon

LDP Software retirement is May 1, 2025

  • Please reach out to Mike Gorrell at Index Data if you have questions

  • All institutions who have been running LDP should be completely migrated to Metadb by that date

Workshopping

Hi Metadb experts, I might be missing something obvious, but I am having trouble joining the folio_licenses.document_attachment table with the main folio_licenses.licenses table to see which document attachment belongs to which license. Is there a way to connect these two tables?

Derived Table Futures

Scott Perry, Sharon Markus

We will continue our discussion on the future of derived table development. There are several factors to consider, such as community maintenance and lack of live synchronization. There are also options for us to consider for future development, such as CTEs (Common Table Expressions) and FUNCTIONS.
