Filip demonstrated a new Inventory UX.
- Earlier today Filip put out a prototype of the Search app, and an accompanying video.
- Filip demonstrated the Search App which will be used to search across Folio apps. The ability to filter by App is made possible in this prototype. V.1 will allow searching by Collection, then filtering would happen after the initial search. Later versions will allow the user to filter before the initial search.
- Search Results - For alpha - the result will lead to the originating app. There may be a brief display available.
- Within search results, the ability to display specific fields is being built in.
- Questions: How granular should the filter abilities be? What else should be considered?
- Inventory App
- Items/Instances app has now been combined to become the Inventory App
- Search/filter is available in this app, with filtering. Now there is the ability to expand and collapse layers of data:
Image Added - Filip would like feedback on what type of information should be displayed in the right window. At this point, the hierarchy is replicated in the display window panel with the bibliographic record at the top, item information in the middle, holdings information below. There was a suggestion to keep the hierarchy in place.
- Jacquie asked if the item information can inherit information from the holdings information. Associations should be able to be inherited. Charlotte and Filip confirmed that the item record will be inherited from the holdings. The data will live in only one place. Peter clarified that if item information is entered, it will overwrite what has been inherited from the holding. Item information will not influence the holdings information. Charlotte does not think a call number should be editable at the item level.
- Use case the includes a call number for a temporary item? Christie said at Chicago they have some use cases in which they need to have an item specific call number. It may differ from the holdings call number.
- "Copy"
- Lisa Furubotten suggested using the terminology "location" instead of "copy."
- At University of Chicago, they may have two copies in different libraries, both of which are "copy 1" copies.
- Suggestions are to eliminate the word "Copy" in favor of showing only the call number.
- Sebastian asked why the middle pain and right hand replicate information.
