2020-11-19 Resource Management Meeting Notes

Announcements/Updates

• Product Council meeting 2020-11-19
• No meeting November 27

• update from product council:
  • successful Honeysuckle bugfest
  • goldenrod had some challenges
  • Q: How might the SIG use their time before bugfest to know the system better
  • Some testing was done that showed testers did not understand a feature and thus thought something was broken
  • Honeysuckle went much better
  • Hoping to bring together the testing and review before the release happens to better understand what is being developed.
    • question of how to integrate this testing with the release more closely
  • Dennis B. ref: expense class example of testing in thunderjet
    • scratch environments
  • just need more time to explore and experiment to track and get to know what is happening
  • Different institutions have expectations from the system's behaviour
  • data volume is also not quite as close to reality as it is in bugfest (but this might cause an issue)
  • There is often a difference between the testing actions vs the exploratory actions that we need to better understand the changes (and this testing should be done earlier)
  • from chat (All hot fixes are verified in the Bugfest Honeysuckle)
  • Jason Kovari also updated the PC on the Entity Management proposal that group was working on

    • https://wiki.folio.org/display/MM/Entities+App%3A+Vision

• In the organizations app, when looking at the credentials, the date-stamp is viewable
• also, suggested to date-stamp notes
• Dennis, asking if it is about date-stamping when a PW was changed (to keep PWs current and changing)
• from the chat, Owen S (I think the current situation is that the Interface has a last updated timestamp, but there isn’t a separate timestamp for credentials)
• from Abigail from chat (weird thing I noticed yesterday--the URI field doesn't link from the Organizations record, but it *does* link from the Organizations drop down in Licenses)
• from Owen S in chat (In Agreements and Licenses we use the URI to hyperlink the Interface name)
• Dennis asks if the username would be changing, but mostly this is about PWs) - although sometimes an e-mail needs to be changed
• date-stamp + number of days old (suggestion from am attendee)
• Owen S in chat (I’m also interested in the number of “last updated” dates that people are asking for - I’m not sure that adding all of these to the view panes in the UI is a good way of going)
• Dennis, links this conversation to generally tracking changes (who did when when)
• Emma R (wants to focus on date of updating PWs)
• Dennis suggests that in this situation it might be useful to really focus on date-stamping PW changes
• Dennis thinks he has enough information to start an issue with this (to bring back and review as a group once some progress has been made)
• Asking whether addresses might also need a date-stamp?
  • Sara suggests some date-stamping for payments made to vendors could be useful
  • wants to check payment remittance addresses (to verify the current address is listed in invoices)
  • some addresses don't change, but they might
• asks whether capturing an expiry date for PWs might be useful
• Conversation about security questions and where those questions might be stored (team password management?)
• Suggestion an integration with PW management would be great (even after suggesting some better integrations with external document cloud storage like Box or google drive)
