RA Documentation Review

Set steps for our documentation efforts - we talked about last week:

What do we think is missing in this architecture?

  • cross-app workflow documentation?
  • more "behind the scenes" docs? e.g., things libraries should know about workarounds, tips for how to do things more efficiently, other?
  • docs for RA features that take place in Users?
  • docs for RA workflows in Inventory?

    • Self-guided exploration – creating materials that people can use for self-guided explorations of FOLIO
    • Erin (Chat): https://folio-org.atlassian.net/wiki/display/FOLIOtips/Community+Contributed+Resources Andy has added a number of their tutorial pieces here - thanks Andy!

    • Question: self-guided exploration
      • Take and downloaded testrail documentation and rewrite it to facilitate self-guided exploration (manuals)
      • Everyone has access to training instance
      • Staff shall train themselves, so by the time of the training session, they can ask questions 
  • Erin (Duke) - Ra planned for 2022
    • FOLIO Training Curriculum 
    • 6 to 7 people started meeting in Jan 2019 - six month documentation and training focus on documentation not so much on training
