Ann-Marie Breaux (Deactivated) - Data Import log now support updates for multiple holdings and items, and other refinements - UXPROD-4079. Planning an intro meeting at the Data Import Lab session (on Thursday, next week). An extended test is planned in the Foljiet Rancher environment. Will do test the following week. 

Laura E Daniels reminds about the need for one more volunteer to help write up the user documentation for Inventory, QuickMARC, Data Import, Data Export, and MARC Authority. 

PC update

There was no regular agenda, but instead a working meeting together on Zoom, where the PC focused on WOLFCon planning and cooperative prep in that area. 
Discuss browsing instances by title functionalityChristine Schultz-Richert 

UXPROD-3671 - Getting issue details... STATUS  

Requirements for browsing instances by titles, incl. uniform titles, and name-titles (collected works, e.g. musical scores):

Laura mentioned that the expectation would be left anchored and begins with, and then as for other browse functionality that the result is listed with 5/6 result previous result in the top and then the highlighted result. 

The title browse should include everything in the Title (All) index - so this include instance Resource title, Series title, Index titel, Alternative title (including Uniform title).  

Laura E Daniels pointed out that at WOLFcon there will be a session, where we can discuss MARC mapping of 7XX fields, and also Analytic titles (730, 740). 

Christine Schultz-Richert asked if Titles (all) should not include Series titles? Here Laura E Daniels answered that Titles (All) should also include Series titles, and then have a specific browse option for Series titles. 

More usecase can be added to this wiki page: Browse Use Cases. Dead line for adding more usecases - 1 week from now. 


Saving records <and performing action>

Laura E Daniels Natascha Owens, and Felix Hemme has worked on a proposal for saving records in Inventory (instance, holdings, item) and quickMARC (bibs - but not MARC Holdings). For now MARC Authority was not considered in the proposal. 

Felix Hemme explained that right now in quickMARC there are multiple buttons: 'Save & keep editing', and 'Save & close'. Ideally the buttons should be configurable, but for now we need to get to a consensus. 

Collect feedback on https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mVJijipoWkZNjKzgM0RMBD07BwdoF5Wwy6xLX3rIAOc/edit?usp=sharing

The proposed solution is inspired by Postman-like model (as illustrated below) with a single button for default that includes a drop-down menu option for sub options

 

If the proposal is doable in Inventory, quickMARC, then the working group will bring this back to the App Interaction SIG, and discuss with also the UX designers, and this behavior could be adopted by all apps having records which are editable.

There was a discussion if use of 'cancel' - the X - in the upper corner in edit mode of instance, holdings, item was an option, but here there was some push back using this 'escape'.

 

Finally Felix Hemme  pointed out that we of course also should have Keyboard short cuts for the misc. ways to save the records.

Based on the conversation here Laura E Daniels has updated the proposal. Laura and Felix encouraged people to add comments in the document. Laura will add two polls on the #metadata-management to get feed back from FOLIO users of Inventory and quickMARC.

17:32:18 Von  Ann-Marie Breaux  an  Felix Hemme(Direktnachricht):
    Hi Felix - when we get started, I have a quick announcement about some User Acceptance testing
17:32:47 Von  Felix Hemme  an  Alle:
    Here our Agenda: https://folio-org.atlassian.net/wiki/display/MM/2023-08-03+Metadata+Management+Meeting+notes
17:36:41 Von  Christie Thomas (she/her)  an  Alle:
    +1 lab session sounds like a good time for that.
17:37:58 Von  Jennifer Eustis (she/they)  an  Alle:
    I can post this on our data import lab session slack channel too.
17:38:32 Von  Ann-Marie Breaux  an  Alle:
    https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/UXPROD-2741: Import of MARC Bibs to create/update multiple holdings and items: BE work
17:38:33 Von  Ann-Marie Breaux  an  Alle:
    and
17:38:48 Von  Ann-Marie Breaux  an  Alle:
    https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/UXPROD-4079: DI Log updates for multiple holdings/items and other refinements
17:39:58 Von  Ros, Amanda L  an  Alle:
    and the documentation WG is very supportive
17:41:34 Von  Laura (she/they)  an  Alle:
    thank you, Amanda!
17:42:50 Von  Christine Schultz-Richert (EBSCO)  an  Alle:
    https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/UXPROD-3671
17:50:57 Von  Charlotte Whitt  an  Alle:
    What is the ’name-titles’?
17:52:49 Von  Furubotten, Lisa M  an  Alle:
    7XX fields?
17:53:06 Von  Colin V. (he/him)  an  Alle:
    We were talking about which titles to use, and we talked about using Title (all) values, but now we are talking about pulling from the MARC.  Does this complicate things?
17:54:24 Von  Furubotten, Lisa M  an  Alle:
    Sorry, I should have said related titles
17:55:28 Von  Colin V. (he/him)  an  Alle:
    I work with some music librarians who would love the possibility of getting at those 700$t's as part of a title search, so a more comprehensive mapping conversation is exciting.
17:57:00 Von  Furubotten, Lisa M  an  Alle:
    Analytic titles (730,740)
17:59:00 Von  Ann-Marie Breaux  an  Alle:
    Here's the default MARC-Instance mappings - most of the title stuff is toward the top of the page: https://folio-org.atlassian.net/wiki/display/FOLIOtips/Default+MARC+Bibliographic-to-Inventory+Instance+Mappings
17:59:40 Von  Furubotten, Lisa M  an  Alle:
    So, now I'm having to rethink about what we think the purpose of the instance record is. Do we want every title included as though we were searching MARC records, or do we want the minimum that lets us retrieve a record for working on it?
18:00:30 Von  scolglaz  an  Alle:
    800 & 830 can be really important
18:00:45 Von  Ann-Marie Breaux  an  Alle:
    Yes, Lisa - exactly - there are 2 schools of thought - surface "enough" of the MARC info in the instance vs surface "as much as possible" of the MARC info in the Instance.
18:00:47 Von  scolglaz  an  Alle:
    For grouping and finding all one's Analyzed titles
18:01:28 Von  Laura (she/they)  an  Alle:
    I think alternative titles are important for retrieval/identification but all the specific types are not
18:01:50 Von  Felix Hemme  an  Alle:
    Reacted to "Yes, Lisa - exactly ..." with ߑ
18:02:40 Von  Colin V. (he/him)  an  Alle:
    +1 to what Laura just said.  We also have additional series browse use cases.
18:02:44 Von  scolglaz  an  Alle:
    Having a separate Series TItle browse would be super helpful
18:02:50 Von  Furubotten, Lisa M  an  Alle:
    I want a separate series title: sometimes I want to retrieve all members of a series
18:03:01 Von  Ann-Marie Breaux  an  Alle:
    Other related titles (730, 760, 762, 765, 767, 770, 772, 773, 774, 775, 776, 777, 786, 787) are not currently mapped into the instance (by default)
18:03:13 Von  Christine Schultz-Richert (EBSCO)  an  Alle:
    https://folio-org.atlassian.net/wiki/display/MM/Browse+Use+Cases
18:03:13 Von  Iwona Wiśniewska  an  Alle:
    And journals or serials titles from fields 760-785
18:03:19 Von  Ros, Amanda L  an  Alle:
    Reacted to "I want a separate se..." with ߑߏ
18:05:16 Von  Colin V. (he/him)  an  Alle:
    Thank you Christine, this work is exciting!
18:13:09 Von  Furubotten, Lisa M  an  Alle:
    Why is not 'save and keep editing' the default?  and return to view the drop down option?
18:13:45 Von  Furubotten, Lisa M  an  Alle:
    That is, you are making me drop down and click when I want to save my work and then continue editing
18:15:11 Von  Christine Schultz-Richert (EBSCO)  an  Alle:
    I have to drop, but wanted to thank you again for your time and feedback!
18:15:19 Von  Felix Hemme  an  Alle:
    Reacted to "I have to drop, but ..." with ߑ
18:15:24 Von  Colin V. (he/him)  an  Alle:
    Reacted to "I have to drop, but ..." with ߑ
18:17:28 Von  Natascha Owens (UChicago)  an  Alle:
    I think the option you want to choose depends on individual workflows (so, not everyone will want to save and keep editing, right?).  In an ideal world we could choose our own "default".
18:19:06 Von  Furubotten, Lisa M  an  Alle:
    I'm just going by the logic that 'save' is just 'save' -- if you want to do something else then that's a drop down?
18:20:19 Von  Natascha Owens (UChicago)  an  Alle:
    I do think Lisa has a good point about the wording
18:21:39 Von  Lynne Fors  an  Alle:
    I like the idea that save means save and keep editing.
18:21:50 Von  Ann-Marie Breaux  an  Alle:
    Does it change depending on whether the record is full screen or 3rd pane only?
18:24:18 Von  Furubotten, Lisa M  an  Alle:
    Ok, so how about 'save' as a 'save' button,and then another button 'close'?
18:26:54 Von  Lynne Fors  an  Alle:
    I had another system use a "save and release" record keyboard shortcut = ctrl + alt +R and kicked you back to the main record view
18:33:51 Von  Furubotten, Lisa M  an  Alle:
    I'll abstain (joking) because probably 1/2 the time (jobs) it will be more convenient for one default and the other 1/2 time the other would be better.
18:35:01 Von  Felix Hemme  an  Alle:
