Review and update the Impacts of New Fields and Features on Reporting grid FOLIO Analytics Update Poppy and FOLIO Analytics 1.7 were both released in December. Metadb Update see important bug announcement for Metadb https://github.com/metadb-project/metadb/issues/58 from Nassib: It is recommend that users not rely on transformed tables that are generated from any table containing more than one jsonb column. The most likely fix for this bug in the short term is that such transformed tables will be removed. (from Tod) There should be a way to interrogate the Postgresql schemata to find out which tables have more than one JSONB column can use the `information_schema.columns` view Only one table known so far re: #58: folio_entities_links.instance_authority_linking_rule Upcoming meeting topics (tentative) Reporting Documentation Update for Poppy (January) Metadb version 1.2 release overview (February) Any new members?
