The Reporting SIG is always on the look-out for new query developers. Please let us know if you are interested in doing query development or if there are others at your institution who might be a good fit.

Updates and Query Demonstrations from Various Reporting Related Groups and Efforts
Community & Coordination, Reporting Subgroup Leads
Project updates
Reporting development is using small subgroups to address priorities and complete work on report queries. Each week, these groups will share reports/queries with the Reporting SIG. Reporting development team leads are encouraged to enter a summary of their work group activities below.
RA/UM Working Group
Meetings have become more of a lab session, working through specific problems
Angela has been attending RA SIG meetings to open the lines of communication, now once a month
Contact Angela if you would like to join these meetings; second Wednesdays at 1pm Eastern (but for Feb, actually Tuesday the 8th at 2pm Eastern)
Meetings are 1st Tuesday of the month, 12-1pm ET via zoom using the usual FOLIO password. Our lab sessions are open to everyone. Please bring your questions, examples, and comments about reporting and metadata.
We have began porting over LDP derived tables to Metadb. We have a sign up sheet. If you'd like to participate, please add your name. If you aren't in the our mm reports Slack channel, let Jennifer know so that you can be added.
Current pull requests for metadb derived tables:
holdings statistical codes
holdings notes
instance statistical codes
instance alternative titles
instance electronic access
For instance formats, bad data from FOLIO was encountered. Instead of a uuid for the format ids, the data was "volume nc rdacarrier". It seems this isn't the first time for such data - beware.
ERM Working Group
Reviewed ERM Goals 2022
Complete documentation on existing derived tables
Migrate LDP queries to Metadb (ERM?)
Move on with derived tables portfolio for ERM
Getting ERM SIG and implementers more involved for reporting requirements
Still housekeeing: Github issues left overs, how long to keep meeting recordings etc.
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
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
