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?" 

• November 25 and December 23 meetings are canceled

Ongoing Topics:

Workshopping

Christie

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?

Experience with Metadb (Resources)

D-A-CH

A few libraries in Germany would like to start using Metadb soon. In most cases, hosting is in own data centers. The working group needs experience reports on what resources are required.

• Do you have any experience of how many resources are required?

• Is it possible to buy consulting or support from Index Data if required?
