2023-05-03 Meeting notes

Amelia graciously volunteered to take notes today.

Patty announced that she will be leaving as Product Owner.  It is not immediate, but we will need a new PO.

• User Management will be getting new resources to assist Library of Congress to get the features they need.
  • We will have access to the Volaris development team.  Tim Auger is the PO of that team.
  • The features needed by LC:
    • Patron registration
    • Clean up permissions
• We will need a new PO.
  • Current time commitment has been low because we did not have a development team.
  • Responsible for creating Bugfest Tests and maintaining existing tests. Ensure bugfest tests are completed.
  • Tasks:
    • Writing features and User Stories
    • Attending meetings where the specs are refined
    • Working with the Dev team especially testing the feature and testing in Bugfest.
  • Often difficult to determine approaches to implementation
  • Generally it would be better to have more FOLIO-wide conventions for approaches to development and implementation
    • Cross-App SIG (formerly App Interaction) is a group where folks work to improve consistency across FOLIO Apps
      • Determining dependencies for the sake of making dependency checks for deletion
      • Reviewing workflow engine options in an attempt to find a solution that could be recommended for community use
      • Large portion of work is done asynchronously.
      • Maura, as convener, usually attends this meeting.
  • The new Product Owner would also be expected to attend the Product Owners meeting.
  • The expected time commitment, especially with the new features that will have to be made,  should be between 10-20 hours a week.
  • Function Owners would also be helpful for Users.
    • Product Owners

Patty will be available to help the new PO to get the hang of the job.

The desired feature would allow Folio installations to use the Settings to select any of the required fields that exist in the User record and display up to 5 of them (in addition to the user's name, which should always appear in the search result).

• Selecting fields to display in user search results via settings
  • Should fields be listed in alphabetical order?
    • Yes
  • Should there be a limit to number of displayed fields?
    • Yes, 5
  • Should there be a permission required to access the settings app for this customization?
