There was no set agenda for this meeting. Attendees could bring up whatever they had been working on.

Item	Who	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.

Maura will invite members of the implementers group to attend the 9/29 meeting.
Patty will give us an example of the kind of helpful discussions/onboarding that can aid new Folio users to understand UM functions.
