MM SIG Release Note & Other Highlights

Orchid PO update

Charlotte Whitt 

Link to slide deck: A look at Inventory new work (Orchid)

Gutenburg is a new team being spun up: loan notes. 

Odin is a new team being spun up: reminder fees.

Prokopovych team is down to 1.5 developers. Team is being sunset at the end of Orchid release cycle.

BugFest tests to be wrapped up by end of day tomorrow.

Work on Orchid presented/organized by the Dev Team that worked on it. Each team has own slide.

New work in Orchid:

  • Display of effective location on holdings records (demo of implementation in Orchid BugFest)
    • "Effective location for holdings" value at top of holdings record view
      • What happens if there is an item records with a location? (demo)
      • Nothing has changed in regard to Item record level permanent location or temporary location.
    • Desired new functionality: Temporary location has been set on item record level and conveyed to the Instance record display level in some manner. Allows temporary locations to be shown to library staff in Folio (reflects what patrons see in discovery/catalogs) without extra clicking to see what is set on the item. 
  • Search functionality
    • UIIN-2275 - Getting issue details... STATUS
    • Search behavior in subjects changed with move to Elasticsearch
  • Bound-with enhancements and deletions (demo in Orchid BF)
    • "Ghost" relations will be able to be cleaned up
    • BF didn't get bound-with data
      • Charlotte added some to BF using Postman and API endpoint (see slides)
      • Add Bound-with button in UI not active yet on item records (may become available in Poppy)
    • Q from Ann-Marie: Charlotte, do you or any libraries know what kind of interaction there is between bound withs and Data Import? e.g. if I import to edit a bound-with-related holdings or item. Is all editing manual at this point? (unless you mess with inserting data directly via API?)
      • Bound-with table exist
      • Some experimenting is needed to know what the impact is: does it work? does it break things?
        • Felix: updates work as expected when updating via API and nothing breaks with bound-withs. Did not test with Data Import app
    • "An item that is Bound-with to multiple holdings is now also displayed at all those holdings in the instance detail view."--Felix
    • Bound-with data model
  • Item states and deletion of item records
    • Dependencies are checked and a confirmation model appears
      • Awaiting delivery, Declared lost, etc. are not able to be deleted until item status is set to available
  • Inventory Printing
    • dependent on browser, but improving
    • Stripes team force has been working on it
    • discussed in App Interaction SIG
    • more work to come


UXPROD-1892 moved to Quesnelia

Undecided which team will pick up Prokopovych work on Inventory. Most likely be split across several development teams. Most likely no new features in Inventory modules for Poppy, but addressing critical bugs and learning the modules.

Question about expected behavior

Expected behavior is:

  • Filters would stay unless "Reset All" is clicked or a filter is manually deselected
  • Should not be so strict that you have to select the search index first

Filters:

  • "I would love to be able to select several filters in one drop down at a time rather than having to wait"–Jennifer E. 
    • Bug needs to be filed
  • Select all for filters is greatly desired
  • Select all your filters for your search and then click "Search" button to have the search performed. Not have searches performed as each filter is selected.


Query search is very code based and not easily found.

Mod-search documentation

Location codes and hierarchy (in Tenant settings).

  • Pain point
  • desire for campus as a searchable location code
  • desire for library as a searchable location code
  • "And really useful when every library on campus has a reference desk/location."-- Jacquie
  • "Also, if we are considering revising a location list in Settings so it helps staff construct queries, we'll need a Settings permission that allows view-access to the list. (my production permissions don't include much under Tenant - might just be a local decision though, others may see more)"-- Colin V.
