Notes
RA SIG 10-24-19
Reminder: please complete the item record card sort survey that Cate sent out.
The Fines subgroup completed their review of fine/fee reports; distilled to essentials, and will send to the Reporting group
No meeting on Thursday 10/31/19
Holly – questions about displaying the fine information on the check-in screen:
Should there be an indicator that the book was overdue? Yes
Should the fine amount be shown? Not necessary to show the amount, but we would need at least an indicator that a fine existed, and would need the ability to link to the fine from the check-in screen
Cheryl gave a detailed demonstration of setting up a calendar
Calendars are linked to service points
Some bugs exist:
to make a closed day, there are two choices, “Closed” and “All day”. They appear to do the same thing.
Currently, you can’t have a closing time after 11:59:59 pm. You have to make the next day open from 12:00am – whatever the actual close time is in early morning. You then make another segment on that day open the regular hours (for example 8:00am – 11:59:59pm)
Some functionality / accessibility problems exist:
Can’t display more than 10 service points
Color-coded information can present a readability problem (white on yellow is worst offender) and an accessibility problem for color blind or low vision users
Graphical interface is good in concept, but we need the ability to manually enter values (accessibility compliance if nothing else)
Can’t use any open/closed values except on the hour and half hour; this is an issue for some libraries
You can display up to 10 service points; many libraries have more than that (this is a known problem; Cheryl will verify the status)
A function to clone settings is not yet available
NB: CHROME browser is the only one that Folio has been tested on; other browsers may work, but not guaranteed
Please send Cheryl test scenarios for calculating due times for 24-hour+ library hours
