Data Import working group is starting back up: Details from slack

Next meeting: 1PM EST on Wednesday, September 20th

As we prepare work for the FOLIO Quesnelia release, we would love to pick your brains around which Data Import projects you would most like to see us take on. To gather your thoughts on Data Import Features and Bugs that are up for consideration, we’ve put together a quick asynchronous prioritization exercise in Google Drive for you to complete as you have time over the next week. Please see below for details. Potential Features

  • In the 1st tab of the spreadsheet, we’ve listed potential Data Import features for Quesnelia. Please pick a column and add your institution’s name to the top row (one column per institution), then follow the instructions in the spreadsheet to apply points to each listed feature based on how you would prioritize them with a budget of 100 points (the higher the points, the more important it is to your institution).


Bugs

  • In the 2nd tab of the spreadsheet, we’re asking you to review a list of current bugs in Jira and pick a Top Five from the list that you would like to see looked into. Just as with the first tab, please pick a column, add your institution’s name to the top row (again, one column per institution), then follow the instructions to list out the bugs you would like to see prioritized.


For a walkthrough on how we envision this exercise being completed, please see here for a quick demo recording that Ann-Marie and I made.
If possible, we would love to have your entries by Sunday, September 17th as we would like to review your feedback as a group at the next Data Import Subgroup meeting scheduled for 1PM EST on Wednesday, September 20th. Please let me know if you have any question. I look forward to hearing from you all and I appreciate your input! List of resources:

  • Tri-council Working Group working on this topic and discussing next steps
Copying call number/General copying in Inventory

UXPROD-3473 - Getting issue details... STATUS

One of the original problems is that in the Five Colleges when we copy a call number from the Instance preview of the Classification accordion and paste this in the holdings record call number field, there is either a space and/or a carriage return before the call number. Here's a recording of how this happens.

The problem is that this carriage return and/or space interrupts the z39.50 process and printing labels.

On MM Slack channel, many agreed that having a button to copy the call number would be useful.

  • Topic was discussed at wolfcon
  • Agreement that copy button is a good solution (lots of folks seeing same problem)
    • Other copy buttons needed? We don't want to put copy buttons on all fields
    • Next step: create JIRA ticket for this interim solution. Jennifer Eustis will create: UIIN-2580 - Getting issue details... STATUS
      • PO/team - folijet and Anne-Marie to start
  • JIRA ticket for long term solution should be reviewed for implementation
    • Currently only 1 library ranked but seems obvious that we need to fix (industry standard)
    • Seems to be Inventory specific
    • Can comment on ticket
