High priority tickets

Dennis

UXPROD-4270 - Ability to share data across member libraries (organization records)

  • Can choose what level a data element should be (local only, share with consortium) and then they would see only what they should when organization is displayed.

  • Contacts (all accordions really) : each would be an object, assigned locally

  • Same would have to be done with interfaces, accounts, etc.

  • Organizations are separate even though same ID because they’re in different tenants

  • Benefits? Less administrative burden, managing addresses etc. Or maybe for centrally negotiated licenses

  • But this only has one vote, and no one is advocating for this, not highly desired?

  • Zorian: is this to allow central management of Organizations and then share with members? Replacing/part of the Consortial Manager? Would save time when data needs to be updated, if everyone doesn’t have to make the same update.

  • Some consortia are not all on FOLIO, so this would be a complication

UXPROD-4980 Manage authorization policy templates centrally within a consortium

  • Limit a role to certain hours/days. Time based policy.

  • Right now these policies are defined within a single tenant. This ticket would allow the policies to be created/managed centrally.

  • Wilhelmina agrees with the need for this, and ability to duplicate in order to edit at the local level. But more useful would be a way to export lists these, versioning.

  • Lucy: this sounds like higher priority than UXPROD-4270

  • This is waiting for a UI component to create these at all. Then functionality can be extended to the Consortium Manager.

  • No votes for this currently, add votes if you want it.

  • Lloyd: the ability to copy them from one tenant to another would be a big savings. +1 by Wilhelmina
