Ethan

  • The generator lets you fill the barcode field with a unique number with a button press
  • Customization for pre and post fixes
  • Is there a better place in settings we can put the Number Generator?
    • Service interaction is intentionally separate from Users as the module is designed to be able to be used across many apps
      • The setting to enable or disable the number generator in the Users app is under Users settings
  • Will it be possible to use alternate checksums?
    • Yes, with some backend work
  • Will this be extended for use for item barcodes?
    • Yes this is planned as well as:
      • Call numbers
      • Accession numbers
      • Vendor codes
      • Identifiers in Inventory Instance
  • What will permissions look like for this app?
    • Permissions for admins to CRUD the various generators.
    • No distinct users permission to use the generators in-app if they are enabled.
  • Barcode generator sequences are limited by-app
  • The setting for enabling and disabling the generators in users should eventually have the options for
    • Just using the generators
    • Not using the generators and just typing in barcodes
    • Option to use generators or type in barcodes manually
    • Please send checksum, and generated field needs to Martina Tumulla 
25 minField-based user permissions
  • Existing use-cases:
    • View personal information fields
      • Specific address types
      • Mobile phone
      • Birth Date
      • Email Address?
      • Of course ideally these would be selectable on a per-field basis for each FOLIO tenant.
    • Custom field edits
      • Seems like these already exist.
  • These things will require significant development and will not be coming soon
  • Asked in chat: pop-up messages in user records
    • Should show when you first enter, but not every time you navigate to something different in the record. 
    • We already talked about this and there are already tickets in to have this fixed.
