  • Information about demos, user discussions, or future functionality for FOLIO.
  • Spins-ups or wind-downs of specific subgroups or working groups in a particular area.
  • Ideas or issues that came up feel outside the scope of the SIG but need commenting.

  • Hiding Fields in FOLIO
  • User Permission Management
  • Printing in FOLIO

We continue to work our way through refining/revisiting tickets on our Priorities List.

We also submitted our WOLFcon sessions, one of which (Search documentation) will require significant preparation if accepted–we plan to allocate time to that over the summer.

Consortia SIG

Working on prioritization of Jira issues. We have reviewed them all with Dennis Bridges and confirmed, updated, or deleted them as necessary. Asking the community to vote up issues here:  VOTE HERE! Consortia-related Issues

We also submitted a session for WOLFcon.

The Documentation Working group welcomed new writers for Claiming (Susanne Gill, Stephanie Kaceli, Ben Taylor).

Documentation for Sunflower is being worked on.

The migration help session was particularly well-attended and resulted in a fun Miro board: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVIPPdaRc=/

Upcoming sessions include a refresher on Jira Skills, a session on reporting options, and a session on Actual Cost functionality.

Implementers submitted a Working Session for WOLFcon, and may also submit an additional panel or workshop.

Linked Open DataLaura E Daniels & Chris LongCharlotte Whitt & Lisa McColl

We've created a topics list to help us track and prioritize issues of interest (similar to those being used for prioritization in other SIGs).

The FOLIO Linked Data App has a new PO: Alvaro Lopez. We are planning to dedicate some meetings to discussions about development there.

We got feedback from the MM SIG on our desired new Instance data element (Instance Source URI) and are moving forward with the feature and related stories. This element is needed for National Library of Sweden's FOLIO implementation and highly desired by multiple others.

We hope to have multiple working meetings at WolfCon, most likely focusing on workflows.

UXPROD-5135 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Metadata Management

We have a new Implementers page to replace our old Parking Lot of topics to be discussed. We spent time going over the list and have started going over the Implementers page. Due to one of the discussions, the automatic filter of Staff Suppress to yes will be rolled back in Sunflower. It has been causing confusion with Holdings and Items searches. We have also discussed reporting needs of MM and will have Sharon and Scott present in May on current functionality.
