Sharon

Today's notetaker: Scott Perry

Last week's notetaker:

Update and Demos from the LDP Report Working Group

Angela, Kevin, Tod, Sharon, Eric, Scott, Michael, Claudius, Veit

The LDP Report Working Group will give an update on progress and some demos with reporting tools:

  • Database schema (Angela)

    • Schema Spy

  • Circulation detail report query (Sharon)

  • LDP-Analytics GitHub repository (Angela)

    • non-function creating version 

  • Accessing the test database (Kevin, Michael, Angela, Tod?, Sharon?)

    • Web interface

    • Client-side reporting tools

    • test data

NOTES:

Review of schema by Angela and SchemaSpy. Using star schema because more user friendly.

Versioning based on record_effective date for updates to records. Daily snapshot updated based on updated, new records since the previous day.

Historical data vs. current data discussion.

Schema public will be extended to include all tables needed for reporting. Not created automatically, only created as report model created.

Report Prototypes

Use API documentation. Some documentation is incomplete or missing–important for gap analysis as well.

All elements represented in SchemaSpy.

GitHub

The latest versions have the star schema. The main page shows both the original legacy report, a link to Jira and the new SQL.

Able to build a library of SQL for anyone to build Folio reports. Ability to work collaboratively on reports.

User key will be link for circulation the version of the user will be retained based on when the loan is made.

Comment SQL code as a best practice to include likely issues with the report.

How will reports be organized? Not yet thought about that yet. Might be a need for user stories. How is a report used? Very detailed list of needs and use of the report.

For tools, go to Report Prototype Working Group–Tools

R and Tableau tools shown. Tableau doesn't like trailing semicolon in SQL. Will review other tools at another meeting.

Report Prototype Working Group meets Mondays at 10 EDT at https://zoom/us/j/614438335
