We will discuss them and add an overall SIG prio to them as we started to do in our meeting. Thank you!

Meeting Notes

We are going through unassigned fee/fine issues to be prepared for the time when Holly left for retirement (the issues on the right side of Holly's dashboard).
There is no one right now who will be taking over as PO of fees/fines, but some people have agreed to be the PO for a particular issue. If anyone has an interest in being PO for one of the unassigned issues, you can contact on of the RA POs and work with them.
The unassigned issues are not likely to get into Poppy but could be taken on by people if there is a need
The goal is to sort the unassigned issues by priority of the RA group

UXPROD-3664: Useful to store loan type and patron group at time fee/fine created, as these may change later (item gets taken off from reserve, etc.)

UXPROD-2006: Ability to look an item up by title when creating a manual fee/fine can be helpful if have a fee/fine related to a damaged item.

UXPROD-1556: Amelia noted that FOLIO saves the text of sent notices, they can be retrieved via API. Andrea - circ. log records that a message has been sent, but not the message. Erin: this is nice-to-have but not high priority.

UXPROD-2495: Closed, no longer needed as UUID is recorded.

UXPROD-2128: Only time this may be useful is for multi-volume sets, otherwise item barcode can be used.

UXPROD-3137: Would be nice to have, but not high priority?

UXPROD-2278: This was considered a high priority among unassigned issues. You do get a warning when an item that has no fee/fine owner is declared lost; issue is more with automated aged-to-lost (there is a message in the log, but this may not be noticed).

UXPROD-3697: Required for German libraries? Jana will ask. Otherwise, low priority.

UXPROD-3896: A nice-to-have feature for libraries that use reminder fees/fines.

UXPROD-1113: This feature has uses beyond fee/fines (supervisor can override patron block, etc.) However, no way to do this in FOLIO currently, and no interest from developers in working on this.

UXPROD-387: Not much recent interest?

UXPROD-392: Could be quite useful (if a patron asks how much fee/fine they have accrued, etc.) Higher priority?

UXPROD-3276: Issue has been raised recently in Slack. Higher priority?
