Bulk User Edits

Magda Zacharska

  • A Bulk Edit Workgroup has come up with several pilot projects to make sure Bulk Edits work correctly.

  • Bulk Edits are defined as:

    • Changes to one or more properties of a record that apply to one or more records and are applied simultaneously

    • UM-SIG believes that Bulk Edits should be able to be done via the UI.

  • The funtional areas where Bulk Edit is necessary are:

    • Inventory

    • Circulation

    • Users

    • Acquisitions

    • ERM

    • SRS

    • Courses

    • Tags

  • All of these functional areas have similar workflow needs for a Bulk Edit.  They are:

    • Search for records, and select records to be edited

    • Records are edited, data is either added removed or updated

    • Changes are reviewed and confirmed then committed

    • Then changes will need to be logged and have exceptions handled

  • There should be other ways to select items

    • Importing a list of items matching on any unique identifier

    • Searching for items

    • Manual selection

  • The pilot projects will be in either Users of Inventory.  The pilot project involving Users will work with these initial features:

    • Start with searching and selecting users by user groups or a use of barcodes

    • Edits: remove permissions, update expiration date, update patron group, update email

  • If the pilot works, UM-SIG gave a list of other functions that are desired.

    • Patron blocks and Expiration Dates are future desired search parameters

    • Patron blocks and bulk password reset are future desired edits

  • Full pilot scope will be determined after development resources are secured

  • Project goal:  full implementation of Bulk Edit across FOLIO by 2023

  • Project needs a SME working group for verifying and determining requirements

    • Determining priorities, must have scenarios, and nice to have scenarios

    • We were presented with making a working group or using SIG meeting time to do this work.

    • Decision: This work will be done in time set aside in UM SIG meetings starting in August.

      • We will set aside about 15 minutes per meeting, and we'll have to be disciplined about time.

  • UM can have conversations about whether there should be a Bulk Edit App or if Bulk Edit actions should be implemented individually to each app.

Roadmap

Björn

  • Björn presented a document that showed the roadmap, which was a purely informative diagram showing what was being worked on, what was scheduled to be done in the future, and when things would be completed.

  • The document was purely for informational purposes, and doesn't reflect any decisions or policy changes.

    • Everything in the document is subject to change.

    • The document will not be shared, because anything on it could change at any time, so no one could rely on the data there at any time.

    • The document was shared in the meeting, so if anyone wants to see it they can watch the recording of this meeting.

  • As an added note, Björn will be stepping away from the Roadmap team and will no longer be the PC Liaison for UM-SIG.  We are grateful for his many efforts in both areas.
