Recruiting New Query Developers

  • The Reporting SIG is always on the look-out for new query developers. Please let us know if you are interested in doing query development or if there are others at your institution who might be a good fit.

Updates and Query Demonstrations from Various Reporting Related Groups and EffortsCommunity & Coordination, Reporting Subgroup Leads

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.

RA/UM Working Group


MM Working Group


ERM Working Group

  • On going investigation on extracting ERM data with LDlite
    • will try to rebuild existing derived tables with LDlite
  • Improvement to some ERM queries / derived tables are released
  • ERM Prototype and Query Development Status
  • Bi-weekly schedule (next meeting 9th, November 9:00 AM ET)
    • Zoomlink (password is the common zoom password in the FOLIO community)


RM Working Group

  • dividing fund_expenditures_by_po_line into 2 queries: one that uses invoice payments as date range and another that uses fiscal year
  • reviewed HathiTrust serial holdings report, revised for use at Cornell
  • exploring ways to make it easier to find options for reporting parameters in your LDP (e.g., a list of locations, item statuses, etc.)
  • several queries for RM completed, but still need documentation, testing, and review
  • for latest updates, see RM Prototype and Query Development Status


Reporting SIG Documentation Subgroup

  • No changes
  • Additional Context


External Statistics Working Group

  • no updates currently
  • new organizational/tracking scheme for JIRA, with pointers to queries in folio-analytics repository
  • New organizational structure for External Statistics reports
    • external statistics reports (e.g., ACRL) typically require running queries from different functional reporting areas
    • these reports will be captured in JIRA under one UXPROD-XXXX report cluster issue, then the descriptions will point to each of the queries required to run them on the folio-analytics repository
    • institutions will need to rank each of these 8 new UXPROD-XXXX report cluster issues
    • each reporting development team will take responsibility for the queries in their area for the external statistics clusters


Product Council



For all recent work on FOLIO Reporting SQL development:


Topics for Future MeetingsAll
  • Follow-up on MARC status, Quickmarc/Data Import conflicts
  • How to strengthen connections to SIGs and their developers to be kept in the loop about changes to the data model
  • Show and tell
    • how are institutions using the LDP
    • examples of using the local schema
    • Cornell's report ticketing system
    • Rollout plans from institutions
    • Ask someone on the sysadmin side to talk about LDP administration (Jason Root?)
    • What is done in JIRA? (JIRA clean up)
  • Training topics
    • adding test data in FOLIO snapshot
    • How to do ad hoc querying with the derived tables
    • How to use the LDP app
    • using KNIME to build reports (LDP edition)
    • use of local schema for custom tables
    • more on MARC (ask Jennifer)
    • using different applications (other than DBeaver)
    • Insomnia for API queries?
    • SQL
    • LDP to metadb
    • non-Roman script querying (Stefan)
    • Metadb implications
      • if schema changes, will that be relatively seamless? old fields still in history, but new fields in current?
      • if fields are deprecated and removed, what happens if they come back again?
      • how will deleted records show up?
    • GitHub
    • Panorama
    • LDLite (again?)
  • Discussion:
    • how to rank clusters with institutional rankings going away?
    • consortia SIG is talking about a central office app of some kind; that app might need to deal with consortia-wide reporting
    • how to train:
      • wiki pages with examples? form a small project team? (e.g., how to pull from marc, how to use local schema)
      • each dev team create training about the data structures in that area?
    • Query style (ask Nassib)
  • Upcoming:
    • Nov 1: DBeaver tips (Sharon)
    • Nov 8: querying non-Roman scripts (Stefan)
    • query optimization (Axel?)
