- Discuss this ticket: UM needs report of active borrowers in calendar year
- Discuss documentation. We need:
- Definitions for:
- User Import: All Permissions
- Users: User loans anonymize
- Instructions for:
- Creating a tag (to apply to a user record)

| Count of active borrowers | The German libraries want a way to count the number of unique active users in a calendar year. The developers want more guidance on what is expected for them to enable this. Since anonymization may delete the UUID's, the circulation log can't answer this question currently. The SIG decided that the best solution is to have a 'last activity' field be recorded. Then on January 1, a query can be run on all patrons whose last activity occurred during the year that just ended, giving the count of patrons who were active during that year. As 'last activity' does not reveal details of what the activity was, it does not cause privacy issues with GDPR, etc. Recording the date of last activity would also allow deactivating the accounts of patrons with prolonged periods of no activity, such as some libraries like to do. Since the Circulation module would be needed to record the loan, etc. activity, it would be simpler for the Circ. module to be used for recording the last activity date field. This avoids creating a dependency between the Circ and Users module. It was decided to turn responsibility for implementation of this feature to the RA SIG. | ||
| Documentation | Christine Tobias asked for definitions of a few terms for Iris documentation. 'User import: All permissions' – suggested definition was 'all permissions dealing with importing users.' On the question of tags, it was decided to find a library that has used tags, and create a demo that Christine can work from. For anonymize user loans, this probably refers to the 'Anonymize all loans' button that shows up in user loans area (if they have closed loans) – will test to see if this is the case and update Christine. |
