    • Kiwi Bugfest started
    • A-M still adding test cases
    • Latest default MARC-to-Instance map is not in place on Bugfest (added mappings for 647 field and various identifier types); A-M will get them to update it
  • Kiwi Folijet planning: dashboard where you can see the current scope and status of Data Import work for Kiwi
  • Current Data Import feature development dashboard and bugfix support
  • Most recent development work
  • Import/Export/quickMARC sandbox environment
    • First draft created, but not yet ready for use; temporarily sidelined in favor of Bugfest; POs will get back to testing it ASAP

Agenda topic: 

  • Lotus Feature Prep: Update Inventory records based on POL/VRN matches
    • Data Import, Acq, Inventory POs/lead devs meeting Friday to discuss whether the POL/VRN data is already available for matching, or if any additional infrastructure work is needed
    • See notes on the feature page
    • Subgroup folks
      • Send A-M examples of MARC records with 9xx data meant to update multiple holdings or items: None so far
      • Think about scenarios where you're trying to match from a MARC field that is repeatable (e.g. a 9xx field) and to a field that is repeatable (e.g. POL's Vendor Reference. Number) - would this affect the matching logic? Not identified
  • Next week: review final stories for this feature, plus any Bugfest issues
