SIG Convener Updates this week

Call for SMEs from SIGs to be involved in User Acceptance Testing (UAT) and Regression testing; please contact Anton

There is a call for Subject Matter Expert involvement for user testing. This is different than bugfest testing - it's less formal. Having more eyes on the test environment to catch problems, inconsistencies, is much easier for the developers before bugfest.

Suggestion - Use comment feature on the "tips and tricks" page. Look at existing documentation and add notes/comments. This will help call attention to documentation that needs work.

Jesse (via chat) "the emphasis on thinking about macros will contribute much to the workflow element of keyboard interactions (sort of, as a guiding principle), whatever result is realized. this is an important task and conversation'

UIIN-1412andUIIN-1416

Feedback from Chicago staff: Sorting of items on the holdings records is not helpful to staff at Chicago. Chicago uses enumeration fields - that field is sorting as a string, making it difficult to locate item in large series sets.

Comments - in chat

"From Lisa F. (Cataloging) to Everyone:  12:17 PM
In the first place, it depends on how the caption is ordered.  It's not clear to me that it's supplement no. 425 or the supplement to no. 425.  If the latter case, the statement is written in the wrong order in the first place."

"From Kyle Banerjee to Everyone:  12:18 PM"This is slick. Would love to see the test examples because there are weird sequences where alpha mixed with numbers are surprisingly common"

Here are some examples with which Zak is working:
