 mod-user-import module documentation

Natalia Zaitseva
  • Walk through of changes to documentation for user records
    • mod-user-import API demonstration (https://s3.amazonaws.com/foliodocs/api/mod-user-import/p/import.html)
      • preferred first name
      • custom field
      • request preferences (connected to circulation-storage)
        • "Hold Shelf" always true; "Delivery" true requires Default Delivery Address specified
        • validation for requestPreference based on requirement logic
      • departments
        • department list
        • can include multiple departments in array
        • must be indicated by UUID; skips invalid IDs → Requirement: must accept plaintext entry AND new departments should be created as they appear in feed
      • mapping issue: plaintext name vs. UUID when translating data from campus identity provider
      • import issue: silent "failing" for non-valid field entries (patron group, address type ID, patron group ID)
      • import issue: should import support "create" function for newly represented department names
      • should "bad data" kill the entire job? write to an error job?
        • different levels of errors needed for minor errors like a mismatched department name versus a mismatched patron group
      • should errors be handled in the UI (as needed at the Circulation desk) or at the API level (must contact Systems or external identity provider)?
      • what level of database maintenance are libraries willing to accept to clean up unused departments?
  • Discussion of requirements and acceptance will continue in Slack (possible topic for meeting on )
