Reporting Documentation Subgroup needs new leader

  • The documentation team needs a new leader. This is generally one meeting a month with the FOLIO-wide Documentation Working Group, plus additional time coordinating with the Reporting SIG subgroup members. (The documentation is at a relatively stable state now, with minor updates needed for each new FOLIO release.)
  • Also subteam meetings every other week.
  • Documentation is written to conform to the Google Developer Style Guide.
  • No need to have extensive experience with the SIG or the FOLIO reporting systems at this time! This is a great way to learn about everything!
  • Please reach out to Axel Dörrer or Sharon Beltaine if you might be interested.

  • eUsage
    • Goal: a derived table.

        2. Analyze data structure.
        3. Invite SME and have data explained.
        4. Creation of derived tables
  • Topics for the future
    • Open Access
  • Documentation / tutorials / lab sessions
    • There are slides. They will merged and improved. We would like one presentation for beginners (onboarding). This slides will uploaded into the directory for all presentations.
    • In planning: In addition to the documentation, tutorials will be created.
    • Group transformation: In addition to the specific developments, meetings will have become more of a lab session, working through specific problems.

RM Working Group


Reporting SIG Documentation Subgroup

  • Honeysuckle documentation is live on https://docs.folio.org/docs/
  • Iris documentation is in progress, due December 15
  • Additional Context
    • The Reporting SIG has representation on the Documentation Working Group, which is building end-user documentation for https://docs.folio.org/docs/ (mostly linking to existing documentation over on GitHub)


External Statistics Working Group

  • no updates currently
  • new organizational/tracking scheme for JIRA, with pointers to queries in folio-analytics repository
  • New organizational structure for External Statistics reports
    • external statistics reports (e.g., ACRL) typically require running queries from different functional reporting areas
    • these reports will be captured in JIRA under one UXPROD-XXXX report cluster issue, then the descriptions will point to each of the queries required to run them on the folio-analytics repository
    • institutions will need to rank each of these 8 new UXPROD-XXXX report cluster issues
    • each reporting development team will take responsibility for the queries in their area for the external statistics clusters


Product Council



For all recent work on FOLIO Reporting SQL development:


Topics for Future MeetingsAll
  • How to deal with External Stats reports?
    • maybe subteam leads check in about that
    • probably wait until after Metadb conversion is more complete
  • ask for presenters: hosting experiences from implementers
  • Annual Reporting Goals
    • (in progress) Support the transition from LDP to Metadb (e.g., update derived table and report queries, update documentation, outreach, new training)
    • (ready to start) Developing training/onboarding for new SIG members/report users (esp. FOLIO-specific data model and transformation stuff)
    • (in progress) Develop a FOLIO Reporting Vision and Strategy
      • secondary goal: come up with language that can be used to explain to our institutions the importance of the work and of devoting resources
    • Improve communication between SIG and developers of apps so we hear about data model changes in advance
    • continued advocacy on part of the SIG to governance groups
    • (ready to start) Review JIRA issues, clean up, revisit strategy for JIRA
  • Additional data model training
  • Regular review of Milestones
