App Interaction UpdateLaura E Daniels 

Differences across different apps for what symbol is used for truncation in searching. Symbol character doesn't matter but needs to be standardized across Folio.

Standardization needed on dates across Folio. Possibility of being customized at tenant level based on your country's standard convention?

Filtering on dates in varies in different apps

  • on OR after
  • on OR before
  • Laura requesting feedback on what we like and don't like

Centralized standards need to be in place across apps to make the User Interface simpler to use, learn, and teach to new adopters

Documentation for developers outside of scope for Documentation working group but standards need to be documented and communicated to developers and product owners.

Enhancement list for Inventory and quickMARC: what of these could be generalized to address needs across Folio?

  • Example: save & keep editing and save & close

App Interaction Slack Channel is open and all are welcome. 

Meetings are open to all to participate or just listen in. Usually at least one developer attends.

Meeting minutes for these topics:
