  • Changes to the Reporting SIG meeting schedule
      • Reporting SIG meetings return a weekly schedule, still held at 11am ET on Mondays
      • 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?" 


Ongoing Topics:

  • Workshopping your queries
    • part of each Reporting SIG meeting will be devoted to time to work through any query questions you may have
    • please reach out to Christie Thomas if you have a question you would like to "workshop" during an upcoming Reporting SIG meeting
      • (Stefan) Can we close these Jira issues?
        • REP-9 - Getting issue details... STATUS

"What is Reporting" Outline Review (continue if time)Scott, Sharon

The FOLIO Product Council has asked the FOLIO Reporting SIG to provide a definition of reporting as it is used on the FOLIO Project. We will review and add to the outline that has been started. Feel free to add your thoughts and ideas to this page in the wiki:


What is FOLIO Reporting?



PC UpdateJennifer Eustis2024-07-18 Product Council Agenda and Meeting Notes (Quarterly Asia Pacific Friendly Time Zone meeting). The PC meet for its second Asia/Pacific time to provide an update on the App Formalization working group, prioritization pilot from the Acquisitions SIG, and topics from China. Please see the minutes for more details.
Lists App UpdateJennifer EustisThe Lists App now has a wiki page for Implementation Topics, List App Resource Management Implementation Topics. At the bottom of this page, you can add any ideas for new features for the Lists App. If you would like to indicate your preference for certain issues, in JIRA, you can use the "vote" feature to indicate if you support an issue. A "vote" is only an indication that you want to see this issue worked on.


Recurring Items (Updated weekly, but not always discussed in meeting)

Project updates

Reporting development is using small subgroups to address priorities and complete work on report queries.  Each week, these groups will share reports/queries with the Reporting SIG.  Reporting development team leads are encouraged to enter a summary of their work group activities below.

D-A-CH Working Group (D-Reporting)

  • The working group D-Reporting is planning its own repository on GitHub. https://github.com/folio-de/d-reporting Special requirements require a separate repository for the German community.
  • New Kanban-Board "Reporting DBS" created . This board contains all issues for the DBS under the EPIC REP-293 - Getting issue details... STATUS . The EPIC is separate to the rest of the Jira issues from the Reporting SIG. The EPIC is also under the project "Reporting" not in "UXPROD" because it has not to be tracked for the whole FOLIO project. It can be seen more internally.
  • Ongoing topics: Workshopping, DBS statistics
