Announcements and Reminders

Announcements:

• About the Reporting SIG meeting schedule

  • Meetings are held on the first 4 Mondays of each month at 11:00 am Eastern U.S. time (see this time in your time zone). The first and third Mondays focus on Reporting Development topics, and the second and fourth Mondays focus on Reporting Business topics. 

  • "business" means topics like presentations on reporting functionality and new features, new reporting applications, surveys and studies on reporting, etc.

  • "development" means working on derived tables and report queries for the folio-analytics GitHub repository

  • "workshopping" queries could be scheduled during any of these meetings, and it would be great to have topics and/or questions in advance so we can prepare to walk through the answers/approaches, such as "how to I fix this inventory query to get rid of the duplicates?" or "what is the best way to calculate totals in this finance query?" 

• What topics would you like us to cover in the Reporting SIG?

  • Would you like to present a topic on something interesting for the Reporting SIG?

  • Would you like us to find one or more presenters to cover a topic you are interested in learning more about?

  • Please reach out to @Scott Perry or @Sharon Markus with your request! We are always eager to arrange for new and interesting Reporting SIG topics.
