Current development (Orchid)

Agenda: 

  • Announcements
    • Orchid data import is done
    • Starting Poppy development work this week
  • Log subgroup work
    • Finish discussion of the background slides that we looked at briefly last week; finalize requirements
    • A-M discussing with designer and devs
    • Topics from last week:
      • Is it possible to add info (like UUIDs) for what the multiple matches are?
        • Per devs, yes
        • Need to decide on a max (10?) and then a generic message (e.g. too many results to display) if more than that; should be able to show the exact count
        • May not be able to display UUIDs all the time, if weird match problem
      • Can we change the SRS MARC column to be - if the MARC record is not retained after the job is complete? (e.g. only creating an order or updating an item) See https://bugfest-orchid.int.aws.folio.org/data-import/job-summary/432f8679-65a3-46cc-aeac-6eecc44a04a4 as an example
      • Implicit vs explicit
        • Discussed some options with Kimie, but currently we're not able to distinguish implicit vs explicit on the BE
      • Maybe add the action profile name at the top of the JSON screen? 
        • A-M still needs to ask devs
      • Link from the log to the batch of records created/updated in Inventory, Orders, Invoices
        • Per devs, would require significant Inventory development; Inventory records are not aware of which import jobs created/updated them, so they are not aware of which import log they are related to
      • A-M: pull the notes from the slide deck and clean up the slide deck

Upcoming meetings/agenda topics:

  • Misc
    • Discuss/review mockups for MARC updates refinements
    • POL/VRN matching
      • For invoices, we only consider open POs
      • For Instance, Holdings, Items, we currently (Orchid and before) only consider open POs. Should we change the Inventory matching logic to allow matching on closed POs as well?
      • MODDATAIMP-769 - Getting issue details... STATUS
    • Deleting outdated versions of SRS records
      • Can we define a cutoff date? 90 days ago? 1 year ago?
        • Different for records that are used during import and then not consulted again? (e.g. EDIFACT invoices, MARC bibs that only create/update orders, holdings, items)
      • Effects on the import log
    • OCLC number cleanup
      • Confirm 035 structure, aim for it to be consistent across all FOLIO tenants
    • Downloading log info
      • Lots of interest, especially for errors
      • Including identifiers for everything
      • What would UI look like?
      • What would output look like? 
    • Variation between PTF and production library performance results - why?
    • Revisit use cases for Updating individual MARC fields - what are the most common use cases?

Autumn Faulkner (she/her)  to  Everyone 1:31 PM
YES! love this suggestion
can't keep my APs straight any more lol
Jenn Colt  to  Everyone 1:31 PM
And you have to back way out to see the profile name
Taylor Smith  to  Everyone 1:31 PM
that would be great
Lisa Smith - Mich State  to  Everyone 1:31 PM
Yes, like this suggestion!
Autumn Faulkner (she/her)  to  Everyone 1:32 PM
oh yeah, I'm into a link to the AP profile too
Jennifer Eustis  to  Everyone 1:32 PM

Jenn Colt  to  Everyone 1:34 PM
Yes that has always looked like it should be a link!
jeanette kalchik  to  Everyone 1:35 PM
What would happen if you changed the profile after you ran the job? It would go to the most current profile?
Lynne Fors  to  Everyone 1:36 PM
I was wondering that too, Jeanette
Jennifer Eustis  to  Everyone 1:37 PM
My understanding is that it goes to the most current profile
jeanette kalchik  to  Everyone 1:38 PM
Is it possible on the summary screen to have the Job ID?
Lynne Fors  to  Everyone 1:49 PM
I think it's definitely a need for the future that shouldn't get lost or forgotten
Kimberly Wiljanen  to  Everyone 1:49 PM
          Absolutely
Lynne Fors  to  Everyone 1:50 PM
Libraries migrating to Folio from Alma are used to that feature
Jenn Colt  to  Everyone 1:55 PM
That would be amazing
Lynne Fors  to  Everyone 1:55 PM
Bulk Edit you can download your initial file
Lynne Fors 1:56 PM
even from weeks ago
Jennifer Eustis  to  Everyone 1:56 PM
Actions …
like in bulk edit
Jenn Colt  to  Everyone 1:56 PM
The other thing is if you are loading via the API you never have something in a file so if you can’t see the parsed JSON record you just have nothing
What if Marc modifications are part of the job?
Lynne Fors  to  Everyone 2:00 PM
Maybe if the records it wasn't created the tab in the JSON is greyed out?
Jenn Colt  to  Everyone 2:01 PM
That sounds good too
