Reporting SIG Holiday Schedule
Plan to cancel December 27 and January 3
Also no meeting on December 20
Recruiting New Query Developers
The Reporting SIG is always on the look-out for new query developers. Please let us know if you are interested in doing query development or if there are others at your institution who might be a good fit.
New Opportunity for SIG volunteer
Documentation subgroup coordinates changes to the reporting documentation posted at docs.folio.org; represents the Reporting SIG at the monthly Documentation Working Group meetings
Reminder about documenting communication patterns with developers regarding data model changes
note: we're not really interested in UI changes, which is what the spring review focuses on. we really want to know the changes that affect the database. Those seem to show up more in GitHub PRs, not even in release notes. For example, Data Import will say, "we have better logging capability, you can click on...". That's very high level and focused on UI, not the API or the database.
Intro to SQL, LDP data model

Angela will lead some introductory SQL sessions for anyone wishing to participate
Updates and Query Demonstrations from Various Reporting Related Groups and Efforts

Project updates
Reporting development is using small subgroups to address priorities and complete work on report queries. Each week, these groups will share reports/queries with the Reporting SIG. Reporting development team leads are encouraged to enter a summary of their work group activities below.

ERM Working Group
First prototype created for documentation. A wider discussion is needed as to whether this approach is sufficient or whether it needs improvement. Preferably in one of the meetings on Monday. Link to prototype
New additional derived tables are planned for orders and invoices. In view of the technical background of some reporting software, we need additional tables to make some reports realizable.
Issue: "ERM - Create report of agreements by cancellation dates" #506 was therefore paused.
Waiting for relational data in the MetaDB in orders and invoices
Iris documentation is in progress, due December 15
Additional Context
The Reporting SIG has representation on the Documentation Working Group, which is building end-user documentation for https://docs.folio.org/docs/ (mostly linking to existing documentation over on GitHub)
External Statistics Working Group
no updates currently
new organizational/tracking scheme for JIRA, with pointers to queries in folio-analytics repository
external statistics reports (e.g., ACRL) typically require running queries from different functional reporting areas
these reports will be captured in JIRA under one UXPROD-XXXX report cluster issue, then the descriptions will point to each of the queries required to run them on the folio-analytics repository
institutions will need to rank each of these 8 new UXPROD-XXXX report cluster issues
each reporting development team will take responsibility for the queries in their area for the external statistics clusters
Product Council
