2020-06-17 User Management Meeting notes

REP-259 report of registered users (count)

• Reporting SIG categorizes reports, this includes "external" report requirements -> ARL reports in U.S., DBS stats in Germany
• R SIG classified the two reports to discuss as in-App reports; rules for this -> if reports only uses data from a single app
• REP-259 UM needs report of registered users
• have to be countable by student, staff and external
• Patty: why not just total up different categories within search results
• Brooks: under 1000 results count is exact, over 1000 is estimated, RMB does the lookups, not possible to change that behaviour
• Patty: Department info also to be reported? Not answer from the group
• Patty: will write/change the story as follows:
  • report funktion in action menu
  • select a bunch of groups
  • select and then total count of groups selected

• Patty: not an in-app report, because more than user app, i.e. loans are involved
• problem of anonymisation
• Uschi: current system record last activity date in user record (Björn +1)
• All: ok, report would require new field "last activity date"
• Patty: will write/change the story as follows:
  • add new field like "last circ date (loan)" timestamp
  • report function in action menu
  • UI sort of plugin to chose date range
• Ingolf: User record have to exist when doing stats; Uschi, Björn: yes, this is practice at the moment; user perge after stats
• Brooks: potential problem: example: statistical analysis run in Feb 2021 for date range 2020, but last loan date in Jan 2021; no hit for 2020?
• possible solution: maybe a value per year?

• Brooks: system can't display emojis, there are Unicode, all Unicode signs should be displayed
• Patty is going to bring this up
