  • Only one meeting between last time.
  • FOLIO Roadmap
    • Linked all of the themes to specific JIRA issues and development.
    • Meeting coming up with POs to see how accurate things are and that development work is represented. Also to adjust timeframes if needed.
    • Can start at high level in table and drill down to specific issues.
  • BugFest for Lotus

Staff Slips

Julie Bickle
  • Julie Bickle, PO of Patron Notice and Staff Slips
  • Explanation of Staff Slips (~11 min. after)
    • So far associated with Circulation
    • Four staff slips that are hardcoded
  • Three staff slips generated at check in:
    • Transit Slip demo (~13 min. after)
      • Done when item is checked in
      • Returned item to a service point and item needs to be transited back to its original home.
      • All slips include tokens (fields in FOLIO); will not all necessarily get populated
    • Hold Slip (~ 17 min. after)
      • Happens when an item is checked out and another patron wants it reserved when the item is checked back in.
      • Same as transit slip, happens when the item is checked in.
    • Request Delivery Slip (~19 min after)
      • Very simlilar to hold slip; in addition patron has made request that it be delivered to a particular location (one of the addresses listed in the user profile)
      • Also occurs when item is checked in.
    • Questions (~21 min. after)
      • This is just generating the paper part, how do we create what needs to happen so this is set up?
        • Two things to think about:
          • What triggers the generation of this slip? (In Circulation it's the check in; an event)
          • Which fields would you populate?
        • How do I cause the trigger?
        • Hold Slip Demonstration (~26 min. after)
          • Check out an item
          • Request > New
            • FOLIO knows item is checked out. Gives options to Hold item or Recall depending on Circulation rules.
            • Set Hold.
            • Place request for a particular person ("Requester Information")
          • Now if item is checked in, FOLIO will create hold request
          • Only get hold slip if there was a request on the item. (Predefined criteria for generating each of the slips.)
      • Can't add, remove, change slips at present.
      • Editing hold slip (~31 min. after) 
      • Generate a printable "Workslip" from order details
      • For acq: Might have tokens from PO or Piece 
  • One staff slip genereated in request app: 
    • Pick Slip (~ 34 min. after)
      • Not created in check in, but in the request app.

      • May want such a drop-down? 
      • Pages/pick slips that are awaiting delivery.
      • Book is available on the shelf, go fetch it.
      • Search for item. If available, automatically get a "Page" request. Cannot put on hold.
        • Place request for a particular person.
        • Still have hold shelf (where it would be picked up).
        • Once you click "Print pick slips for Circ Desk 1" etc., it will print out all slips for items that need to be picked up.
  • Two kinds of triggers: checking something in vs. drop-down.
  • What could be triggers in acquisitions? (~38 min. after)
    • Receiving app
    • Select title
    • A couple of ways to receive:
      • Can click a piece in the table, then "Quick receive" - does not involve barcode
      • Receive button at top of table - can add barcode here
    • May be appropriate to generate a work slip at point of receipt.
  • Could this offer functionality needed? (~41 min. after)
    • If request not empty, have a trigger to generate a slip to go with the thing. Might actually want to see the hold / request delivery slip here.
    • Acquiring item based on a request. 
    • Request column populated based on whether there is a request. 
    • Combination of request / rush when receiving.
    • From Julie Stauffer to Everyone 08:42 AM
      I can also see using workslips for other activities that have nothing to do with patron requests
    • Demonstration by Kristin in receiving (~44 min. after)
      • Receive item
      • Enter barcode
      • Ideal place to get workslip:

    • Ideally is this different than the hold slip? 
    • From Dung-Lan Chen to Everyone 08:46 AM
      We enter notes in "Receiving notes" to convey RUSH, Cataloging notes, Notify xxx, etc.  If there is someone to be notified, we entered a request in the item record in Inventory to trigger the electronic notice when item is checked in in Check in app.
    • From Sara Colglazier (MHC/5C) to Everyone 08:48 AM
      I think the same slips are fine. We do not need extra special ones.
    • Helpful for staff who do receiving for something to kick up and print at point of receipt. 
  • What module is generating the slips?
    • When the event is triggered, FOLIO generates an object called the context.
    • Apparently it is the UI module that does that work in check in, at least for those that are generated in check in.
    • So maybe the slips aren't actually stored anywhere?
      • Don't think so.
  • Take a look at the staff slip templates.
    • Template engine does not do color-coding.
    • What kind of tokens would you like?
    • When is the trigger event? (Will also determine what tokens you can have.)
  • Will continue discussion on Tuesday. Also will plan to talk about exporting fund and budget information. Revisit and clarify.
