Product Council

Jennifer

On Jan. 18, 2024 from 10-11am EST, there is a Tri-Council meeting that will discuss the number of releases per year, what outcomes we want from WOLFCon, how to make FOLIO attractive for new institutions. For details, see 2024-01-18 Tri-Council Meeting. I encourage you to attend this meeting.

Announcements/Reminders

Scott

Impacts of New Fields and Features (Sharon)

 

FOLIO Analytics Update

  • Poppy and FOLIO Analytics 1.7 were both released in December.

Metadb Update

  • see important bug announcement for Metadb

  • https://github.com/metadb-project/metadb/issues/58

  • from Nassib: It is recommend that users not rely on transformed tables that are generated from any table containing more than one jsonb column. The most likely fix for this bug in the short term is that such transformed tables will be removed.

  • (from Tod) There should be a way to interrogate the Postgresql schemata to find out which tables have more than one JSONB column

    • can use the `information_schema.columns` view

  • Only one table known so far re: #58: folio_entities_links.instance_authority_linking_rule

 

Upcoming meeting topics (tentative)

  • Reporting Documentation Update for Poppy (January) 

  • Metadb version 1.2 release overview (February)

 

Any new members?

  • Welcome/introductions

 

How to find our latest recordings

 

SIG Recruitment

We will need to be recruiting for a variety of roles in the coming months. Please consider whether you would be interested. Reach out to @Scott Perry  or @Sharon Markus with any questions.

  • Representative for the Documentation Working Group

  • Query developers - possibly from Index Data?

  • FOLIO Analytics Review Board 

 

Reporting Documentation Update for Poppy

Sharon or Alex

Sharon or Alex will walk us through the most recent updates made for Poppy to the Reporting section of the FOLIO documentation site by the Reporting SIG Documentation subgroup (Eliana, Alex, and Sharon). 

 

 

Meeting time and frequency discussion

Scott, Sharon

Proposed Revised Structure

In the interest of reducing the current number of reporting meetings and some other consolidation efforts, we propose changing the structure for reporting meetings and work as follows:

  • ACQ/ERM and RA/UM/MM report development groups merge into Metadb FOLIO User Group. Reporting SIG meetings would have regular time for lab work for workshopping query questions.

  • Metadb FOLIO User Group, through Nassib’s continued leadership, will be used to work on folio-analytics development in preparation for each FOLIO (flower) software release, will cover new reporting methods and features, will replace the Query Review Board, etc. This meeting would also have regular time for lab work for workshopping query questions. This meeting could be combined with other projects at some point (e.g., Reshare). 

  • Reporting SIG meetings would be consolidated to meeting twice per month at 11am ET on the second and fourth Mondays of the month. Reporting SIG meetings would continue to cover ongoing topics of interest to the reporting community. Reporting SIG meetings would also have regular time for lab work for workshopping general query questions. 

  • The D-Reporting development group would continue meeting as a separate report development group. 

 

New Metadb Section added to Folio Analytics Wiki

Scott, Sharon

A review of Stefan's newest addition to our documentation on FOLIO Analytics: under the General section, he has added a cookbook on how to query data from Metadb using SQL.
