2021-09-22 Meeting notes

UXPROD-242

Patty

• This ticket is nominally assigned to a dev team, but that dev team isn't aware of it.  We should spec out what's necessary for this ticket to get worked on.

Help implementers

Patty

• Patty was interested in UM-SIG helping with on-boarding new Folio customers.
  
  

  • List of questions implementers need to ask themselves

    • Avoid needing Folio to support workarounds that libraries developed to manage shortcomings in their present system

  • Use UM-SIG meetings to create/smooth out videos for implementers to understand UM module.

    • Panel discussions

    • Demos of functions

    • One recommendation came in for demoing Patron Accounts.

    • There was a discussion of Custom Fields that might indicate that that would make a good discussion as well.

  • Action item: Patty will give us an example of the kind of discussion we should have at the 10/5 meeting.

  • Action item: Maura will invite implementers to attend the SIG meeting on 9/29 to discuss their needs.

General questions

Kara

• Is there a place where data is used elsewhere?
  
  

  • The API docs will help with that. Folio's API documentation is a good starting point.

  • Using a browser's developer console will also show what data is being queried.

• Can Folio handle a self-checkout machine or program?

  • How to ask about that/Where is the right place to start?

  • It might be possible to do a direct-to-API function.

  • There was a great deal of interest in this question.
