Re-think the order of the filters in Agreements and Licenses

Discuss how the filter order is determined within the ERM apps. For example, the content filters are awesome and (IMO) would be used fairly often, so I would expect those to appear higher in the filter list. Has this been discussed before? Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Term field values resetting upon changing term types.

When working on a term, if you put content into either the internal or public notes, or set visibility from internal to public, then changing the term type will also reset all of those fields. It makes sense that the term’s value(s) field would reset, since those can be different for every term, but it’s harder to understand why this is the case for the other fields, and it seems like it could lead to lost work.

Dashboard

Description:

a user wants to create a Dashboard widget that shows all agreements where the renewal priority is NOT ‘Cancel’. To do this, the user selects the ‘Renewal Priority’ filter and sets it to ‘is not definitely_cancel’

Current behaviour:

All agreements are displayed that have a value for the renewal priority that is not ‘Cancel’. However, all agreements that have no value at all for renewal priority are left out.

Wish:

1. When listing the data records, also include those that have no renewal priority (empty then counts as a value, so to speak)

2. Add the option ‘Renewal Priority is empty / not empty’ to the filter options in the widget

Agreements

Agreement Lines – expanding information contained in/displayed and able to be recorded under

When an Agreement is not specific to one title or package but is of a (suggested) organizing type for any number of titles/resources each with their own Agreement Lines/POLs etc. then for each the information displayed/provided is currently rather limited. For example, there is no way currently to record Notes at the Agreement Line level, or, to indicate Concurrent User # or Unlimited User information, etc. The inability to record information like this at the Agreement Line level could force us to have to create more Agreements overall to be able to manage resources licensed or purchased at the title or mini-bundle level.

Agreements

More robust options for Supplemental Properties in Agreements–INCLUDING the same Sup Prop being added more than once

The supplemental properties fields could be expanded to include multi-value pick lists (when ready), editor functions similar to the Notes Helper app (specifically hyperlinking) and the ability to use the same property multiple times (potentially a config. option in settings.) In addition it could be expanded so that multiple values with associated notes could be added (with similar functionality to the add alternative name feature) to capture information like a Platform Name and Resource URL in a single supp. prop. ... Also it is also needed that the same Sup Prop be able to be added more than once. For example, if I have an Agreement with more than one AGL and I want to record that they each have a certain Sup Prop for which the value is different (and the notes with it) then currently I cannot do so.

Agreements

Should it be possible to have multiple AGLs for the same resource (title/package|platform combo entity linked from eHoldings) in the same/single Agreement

After discovering that inadvertently an extra AGL had been added to an Agreement from eHoldings causing an unwanted dupe entry in the Agreement–but which is NOT obvious or in any way noticeable once it has been done from eHoldings and very difficult to detect in the Agreement since the entries do not show following each other and the Agreement has many many lines (+100)–I wondered whether this should even be possible (slack posting: https://folio-project.slack.com/archives/C9ER2HCRY/p1603474359024000)

In response, Owen countered that one may want multiple AGLs for the same title entity when needing to link them to separate POLs over time (since AGLs may be date limited); but also suggested thinking about:

• How we can reduce the likelihood of this happening by accident (e.g. warning that there is already an AL for this resource)

• How we can make it more obvious to the user in eHoldings that there are multiple Agreement Lines (within a single agreement)

• Making it more obvious to the user in Agreements that there are multiple Agreement Lines for the same resource within a single Agreement

(see Owen's initial and following responses to Sara's slack query: https://folio-project.slack.com/archives/C9ER2HCRY/p1603710981024800?thread_ts=1603474359.024000&cid=C9ER2HCRY)

eHoldings

“Replacing” linked resource forming an AGL (eHoldings Perspective)

I link the package “Banking Information Database” from ProQuest as an agreement line and add an AGL note, notes-helper app notes, and link a POL. ProQuest repackages the resource to become the “Accounting, Tax & Banking Collection.” EBSCO creates a new package under that name in HLM, and deletes the BID package because the content provider says it is no longer a resource they sell – therefore the data from my linked resource for my AGL disappears and I need to create a new AGL and move all the data over to that AGL.

It would be nice to be able to simply replace the title/package being linked from eHoldings to form the AGL similar to how you can replace the linked organization without having the edit roles or notes. When the KB management team deletes information it is not always communicated ahead of time – but if I knew that BID was being deleted tomorrow I would replace it with the AT&C package and move on – it isn’t a “new” resource, nothing changes with our POL, licenses, or ordering method, and we retain no perpetual access to the old version of the resource. I would expect that it does not overwrite the note I left on the AGL or remove the POL or notes-helper app notes, it’s just a swap out for a new asset from eHoldings.

Licenses: How to manage amendments signed by a library other than the signatory of the original license

We are interested to hear how other institutions are managing this situation:

A license covers all libraries at an institution and is signed by library A (the main library). Later, an amendment to that license is signed by library B (such as a medical center library or law library).  We're not sure how to represent that in FOLIO in a way that is searchable by library since the differentiation is at the amendment level and there aren't data elements on the amendment that we can use to make a library distinction.

Agreements/Licenses: How to manage streaming videos with licenses that expire 1 to 3 years after purchase

Not sure if this a licensing or Agreements question. We purchase streaming videos on request (e.g., Kanopy, Alexander Street) that come with 1 to 3 year licenses. We are currently tracking with when the license to access ends within a 9XX field in FOLIO. This mechanism is not ideal for FOLIO. We are interested in exploring how to track expiring access using Agreements/Licenses as an option to track when these expire. The PO could be another option.

Agreements

Improvements to display of resources that are subscribed through an agreement

Given: An active agreement with an agreement line for the package "JSTOR Arts & Sciences I : hbz : 2017-10-09"

• Open Agreements > E-resources

• Search for eISSN 1525-6979 and open the record in the third pane (details)

• If the journal is managed through an agreement, some agreement details are displayed in the "Agreements for this e-resource" accordion: name, status, period start/end, E-resource (name), acquisition method, coverage

• The general availability is shown in the "Options for acquiring e-resource" accordion: data source, name, coverage, platform, acquisition method, actions

If the e-resource is not linked directly as agreement line, but rather the package that contains the e-resource, the information displayed could be enhanced or the link back to the agreement could be made more seamlessly. Some questions that our staff wants to answer are:

• What terms apply for the e-resource?

  • Easy to answer: Open "Agreements for this e-resource" accordion, click on the agreements name link, open "License and business terms" to check the terms.

• What time periods (coverage statement) should we have access to according to the license?

  • Difficult to answer: In the "Agreements for this e-resource" accordion, no coverage data is displayed if the package is linked as agreement line. The "Options for acquiring e-resource" accordion may display a large number of lines + there is no indication about the actual package title that is managed in the agreement. The only way to answer that question is to navigate to the agreement, open the "Agreement lines" accordion and perform a search with the browsers search tools (CTRL + F). Depending on how many e-resources are displayed by default, the user has to click the "load more" button multiple times. This is not usable.

• Give me the URL for the package title on the platform:

  • Difficult to answer: In the "Agreements for this e-resource" accordion, no URL is displayed if the package is linked as agreement line. The "Options for acquiring e-resource" accordion may display a large number of lines + there is no indication about the actual package title that is managed in the agreement. The only way to answer that question is to navigate to the agreement, open the "Agreement lines" accordion and perform a search with the browsers search tools (CTRL + F) for the name of the title. Depending on how many e-resources are displayed by default, the user has to click the "load more" button multiple times. This is not usable.

Given: An active agreement with an agreement line for the package "

Sage: E-Journals"

• Load this JSON file into the internal KB

• Create an agreement and link the package "Sage: E-Journals"

• Open Agreements > E-resources

• Search for eISSN

• 1552-

• 3039 and open the record in the third pane (

• details)

There is no way to tell from this page that this journal is no longer accessible via the agreement. It has the active end date "2020-12-31". The user has to open the agreement, switch to the tab with dropped resources and perform a search with the browsers search tools (CTRL + F) for the name of the journal.

Agreements/agreement lines: Adjust placement of 'Add PO line' button on agreements edit screen

Enhancement proposed by Michigan State University: They have created an agreement for each of their eBook packages (e.g. EBSCO purchased eBooks, ProQuest purchased eBooks, etc.). Each agreement has a single agreement line, representing the package. However, they are linking multiple POL to the single agreement line to represent the orders for each of the titles. The 'Add PO line' button appears at the bottom of the attached POLs, so, each time they go to add a new POL, they need to scroll all the way to the bottom to click the button. This becomes quite arduous in cases where they have dozens (or more) POL attached to the agreement line.They asked if the 'Add POL' button could be moved to the top of the POL section on the agreement line so that they could add multiple POL without the need to scroll to the bottom each time.

Agreements: Add ability to search over all indexed fields with one search

In Agreements, the search box in the first pane can search on agreement name, alternive name(s), and description. However, the search does not act as keyword search over all fields at a time. Given the following agreement:

Image Added

A search on emerald las:er will result in 0 hits, because the search is working like:

^{(name contains "emerald" AND "las:er") OR (description contains "emerald" AND "las:er") OR (alt name contains "emerald" AND "las:er")}

The user expectation of my colleagues is that with one search all indexed fields are searched with boolean AND at the same time. See also implementer topic no. 35: "Agreements: Search needs to be refine-able (i.e., have a drop down menu like in other Apps for other more narrow, defined, specific fields)"

Im not completely sure how to achive this, but an option could be to copy the contents from the 3 fields into an indexfield and then search over it, e.g.:

^{indexfield = name && altName && description}

^{(indexfield contains "emerald" AND "las:er")}

If we are going to discuss this topic in the ERM SIG, I'd like to propose to talk about other kinds of search enhancements as well, e.g. advanced search or boolean search.

Move agreement lines between agreements

An easy way to transfer an agreement line from one agreement to another so we can preserve note/PO lines/other info without having to recreate it all.

We are planning to create agreements partially based on the purchase status, so the ability to move an agreement line from the "EBSCO-subscribed" agreement to "EBSCO-perpetual" agreement, for example, will be a workflow we need to plan for. 

Comment by Owen Stephens  in Slack: https://folio-project.slack.com/archives/C9ER2HCRY/p1666631660586599

Unfortunately there isn't an option to move an agreement line between agreements via the UI at the moment. We did originally propose, and did discuss in the ERM SIG, that there should be some functionality like this, and especially in some particular situations - including exactly the one you mention here (moving content from subscribed to perpetual). My initial thoughts on this were to have a process where:

• The existing agreement line was copied (rather than moved) to the other agreement

• The original agreement line got an end date added (the 'active to' date)

• The new agreement line got a start date added (the 'active from' date)

In general I'm more in favour of copying than moving as it makes it easier to see the history of what happened (e.g. "we subscribed until this date, and then had perpetual from that date"). However I think this would need quite a bit more discussion to go through the various scenarios where copying or moving agreement lines would be useful and how it should work

  • <agreement name> <does not include> <abbestellte Titel mit dauerhaftem Zugriff>

Agreements > local KB

Ability to intentionally disconnect link between e-resource from external KB and e-resource in local KB or block fields from being updated

Given:

• a GOKb package maintained by a foreign library, e.g a package with e-resources on an aggregator platform or an evidence based selection package

• a library that has chosen to buy selected e-resources from within that package with post cancellation access terms and

• these e-resources are linked to an agreement as single agreement lines (one per ebook)

If at any point in time the package curatory group changes the content of the package and removes one of the e-resources the library has post cancellation access to, e.g. by setting an access end date, GOKb data will update data in the local KB. The e-resource will now display as "dropped", even if this statement is not true for the library.

It seems necessary to have an option to indicate on field level that certain updates from the external KB should not update the local KB data. Or an option to cut the connection between the local e-resource and the external source completely.

Licenses

Allow license term note without a set term value

The Internal note and Public note fields on a license term can only be filled if content is present in the Value field. Otherwise the system displays a warning message: "A value must be set in order to save a note".

We have a use case where the value of a term shall be delivered to a third party system. Multiple license terms on ILL are going to create a code in the holdings records in our union catalog. If ILL is forbidden we reflect it in one license term – the other two then don't apply. We want to indicate that situation by adding a note to the two terms without setting a value, because the linked reference list only provided "yes/no" and none of those values applies.

Could we talk about extending the license terms so that a note can be captured even without setting a value?

/Agreement Lines selected from eHoldings

When adding an Agreement Line to an Agreement from within Agreement app, allow multi-select of packages/titles from eHoldings searchbox

Currently, for institutions using FOLIO with eHoldings, when one goes to add an Agreement Line from within an existing Agreement, they are presented with the eHoldings search box where they can only select one resource/package/title at a time. To add another, they have to click "Save and Close", reselect the Agreement, and restart the process.

This can be a bit tedious for libraries either when they are initially implementing ERM and connecting their eHoldings to Agreements, or for an existing library when they acquire certain e-resources in bundles corresponding to one Agreement (like JSTOR packages or ebook subject packages).

Currently, this functionality exists for Local KB configurations, with the "basket" option. Can their be a discussion about implementing this in the UI for eHoldings users as well?

Overview of results in the titles search in eHoldings

It is hard to navigate to the right record when searching for a title in eHoldings. It would improve findability if more information can be seen in the results, for example indication of selection status and year published.

Use case: We have linking issues with the ebook title "Adaptive thermal comfort: foundations and analysis" in our discovery system. I go to eHoldings to check on what platform/package it is selected and what metadata is available (ISBNs and publication year most relevant in this case). I get six records for that title, no indication in the results which one is selected. I have to click on each and back again, keeping track of them as the order changes, to find the right one. Workaround: login to HLM, where I can see all information I need in this case on one screen.  But there I have no connection to Agreements.

We would like to import only local packages that are created by our institution/curator group in the GOKb, because we do not need the local packages from other institutions.

Show the e-resources with their tags in the accordion element „E-Resources in package“ on package level

Besides having a dashboard widget for tags on e-resource-level (see Implementation Topics List), it would be very helpful, if the tags of the e-resources are also shown on package level e.g. as a an extra column for tags in the accordion element „e-resources in package“.

Use Case 1: To see at one glance the e.g. cataloguing-status of resources in this package

Use Case 2: To see at one glance if there are e-resources with problems in this package

Plus: It would be very helpful, if we could add tags through this new tag column for the e-resources.

Agreements/ Licenses

When duplicating an agreement/ or a license: additional fields should be duplicated

User duplicates an existing agreement and in modal selects "Select all"

Current result: not all data is duplicated.

The following fields could be added (TBD)

Agreements

• Reason for closure?

• Alternative names

• Agreement period end date

• Related agreements

• Tags 

In addition, the start date in the agreement period is set to the current day, which is surprising. Users often want to create a new agreement per year and if the start date was copied 1:1, the user could simply replace the year. Currently, the user has change the whole date.

Licenses

• Alternative names

• Tags

Owen to come up with a proposal for new duplicating agreements behaviour

• create a Jira ticket 

• include different options how start dates should behave

• break down list of checkboxes etc

• come back to ERM SIG in one month time 

Licenses

Adding tags for License Amendments

Our Licensing Librarian would like to track metadata for each document signed (e.g., signatory, fiscal year, type of purchase, etc.). He wants to record this information at both the license and the license amendment levels. Tags would be ideal for this purpose, but they are currently only available at the license level. Would it be possible to make tags available at the amendment level as well, similarly to how they are available at the Order and Order Line levels, the Agreement and Agreement Line levels?
