Agenda:

    • Migrating profiles from Lotus to MG
      • Per Jenn Colt significant effort to update matches and updates to take advantage of the field protections
      • If you want to override field protections, but also update instance with admin data, you have to change to a MARC-MARC match and add a MARC update action into the existing profile, which allows for overriding the field protections
      • And if adding a statistical code, also have to match to the Instance and then update instance
    • Creating/Updating Multiple Holdings/Items on a Single Instance

Log info for multi - have row for instance, then row for each holdings/item created/updated/discarded - for multiples, show HRIDs or locations to make it clear which one(s) were acted on; would be helpful for the single imports as well as multi

Future: Export/download the reports, with identifiers for all records that were acted on and what happened

Upcoming meetings/agenda topics:

  • Creating orders from imported MARC Bibs - E2E review and testing
  • Limitations of DI in terms of being able to do what is needed
    • Update the instance and the SRS - and having to do separate matches for them
    • Needing to use a submatch for the instance, e.g. match on the 035 and then submatch for the instance status
    • Would there be a way to invoke field protections when updating Instances instead of doing separate matches for SRS and Instance
    • Flexibility in field mapping profiles, e.g. go back to defaults when you selected a dropdown value
    • A-M add to the list of general future topics
