(Always) 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.

ACQ-ERM Data Model Training Part 1 (focus on ACQ)

Scott Perry

A subgroup of the Reporting SIG will offer Part 1 of their "ACQ-ERM Data Model Training" presentation. ACQ (Acquisitions) and ERM (Electronic Resource Management) are combined for the data model training because these functional areas of FOLIO overlap. For Part 1, Scott will walk us through the data model for Acquisitions. 

For Part 2, Axel and Stefan will cover ERM and Arthur will cover the overlaps between ERM and ACQ. (Part 2 will be offered at the March 27 Reporting SIG meeting.) The subgroup would appreciate feedback on the presentation from Reporting SIG members so it can be incorporated into the materials for future presentations.

The ACQ-ERM Data Model Training subgroup members are Axel Dorrer, Stefan Dombek, Eliana Lima, Scott Perry, Alexander Chen Lao, Arthur Aguilera, and Sharon Beltaine.

Feedback on this presentation: 

• Will there be text accompanying the slides? (Answer: we can clean up the speaker's notes to provide more text about each slide)

• What data points have a one-to-one relationship and what do not?

  • for example, if you have a PO you don’t necessarily have an invoice

• What is the hierarchy? 

  • From what tables do you start your first joins for various datasets?

• The "How are the data / apps connected?" slide is great, but also complicated

  • Are there ways to break down the information presented in this slide?

  • Would it help to use animation?

• Would be useful to see the steps for finding particular datasets (particularly for beginners)

• Would be helpful to include a guide to creating your first acquisitions report

• Need more real world examples

Review of In-Progress Projects (Recurring)

• Build a directory of extracted and derived tables

  • update coming (Feb 27)

• Build Metadb query cookbook-style documentation

  • has been opened and sent to the development teams for planning/prioritization

  • haven't settled on a style exactly, but have some examples

• Build Training Program for FOLIO Data Model

  • expecting ACQ/ERM presentation in March

• Port LDP1 derived tables to Metadb

  • expecting to finish for Orchid release

• Recruit from new institutions not represented

  • waiting to see about FOLIO-wide onboarding efforts

  • recommend that the development teams reach out to SIGs for an update, invite new members

Review the release notes for FOLIO Analytics, LDP1, LDLite, LDP Reporting App, ldpmarc, Metadb Projects (Recurring)

• 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
