Metadata Management	Felix Hemme & Raegan Wiechert	Jennifer Eustis & Charlotte Whitt	MM discussed null barcodes in items destined for remote storage. Currently, transferring items to remote storage with null barcodes does create a feedback loop within mod-remote-storage. The proposal is to prevent sending an item to remote storage if it has no barcode. No major concerns have been identified and the work has been scheduled for Ramsons. We've also revisited multiple graphical representations. Christine presented some slides to confirm SME's requirements. She will now talk with the developers and will come back to MM with any questions, concerns or ideas they might have. Christine also discussed the need for a place of publication facet in Inventory. The discussion lead to the result that MM is in favor for creating indexes for publisher and place of publication instead of a facet, but a facet to filter on date (of publication, distribution etc). A discussion took place about change tracker requirements of the FOLIO community and also the LoC. Khalilah presented on the development plans ( UXPROD-4125 - Getting issue details... STATUS and UXPROD-910 - Getting issue details... STATUS ).

User Management	Maura Byrne	Maura Byrne	Leipzig is funding a Number Generator project. Initially it will focus on five kinds of numbers: Vendor Code User Barcode Accession Number Call Number Item Barcode The plan is to link documentation directly in the UI. The SIG contributed to a spreadsheet describing what we needed in custom fields (use cases, accordion vs. visible at checkout). Work is being done on "cleaning up" the appearance of custom fields, as well as the Extended Information section of the User record. It will be available in the Sunflower release. There is work being done on an app called "Reading Room," and we discussed printing library cards as the "Registration" part of the app. Pronouns are being developed as a separate field in the User record. It will be available in the Sunflower release.
