2024-03-28 Metadata Management Meeting notes

• WOLFcon: Felix will submit a MM SIG working meeting as standard (50 minute) session. Content will be worked out later.
• A reporter from the quickMARC Group is needed.
  • If you are attending quickMARC and MM SIG and would be willing to regularly report back to MM SIG please reach out.

• Leipzig University with small dev team are in process of getting custom fields added to apps - Orders in process (2 sprints left), next is Inventory.
  • Already implemented in Users
• Inventory tickets UXPROD-2211 and UXPROD-2848
• Custom fields setup in Settings - App. See Users as example
  • Type of field, e.g. single select or radio button
  • field label and help text
  • hidden and required
  • (default) options
• Search Plan
  • all custom fields will be available in the filters and searchable via keyword and all shown as single search option from dropdown. Is that desirable?
    • Laura: suspects we wouldn't agree to what to add to keyword search - limited right now. Should be in separate index, not keyword
  • Could be added to All index? Yes
    • Laura: Cornell doesn't have it turned on
  • Custom fields added at end of filter list - not customizable
  • Query search?
    • should work but will look into. Stored in separate table.

Questions

• Would you want it implemented for all Inventory record types?
  • Charlotte: makes sense to implement for all while doing the work. +1 from others
  • LOC wrote some desired specs for custom Instance fields - jeff gerhard could you insert link here?
• Can MARC data be mapped to custom fields? Available via api but question for data import group
• In inventory using elastic search so different from Orders app searching - accounted for in search ticket? Will require mod-search work.
• Is there a limit for how many custom fields which can be added? 5+ not sure, will ask dev team.
  
  • Can only have 1 custom fields accordion per area, e.g. instances, holdings, or items
