Announcements: Kristin reminded everybody about FOLIO Code of Conduct. 

Tod reported back that the TC, was asked to weigh in on the question about FOLIO's browser support. Link to the statement.

The PC support the extended Poppy Release (R2 2023), now planned for November 2023. All current features for Quesnelia, will be relabeled to Poppy. The Quesnelia Release will be launched in 2024 (R1 2024).

List app: EBSCO by Christopher Spalding and Kathleen Moore (product owner) presented a new app called the Lists app (insert link to slidedeck when shared by Kathleen). The list app aims to provide actionable lists in FOLIO at the point of need. In the corsair-frm.int.aws.folio.org site the data set is about 8 M bib records, and 15,000 loans.. These lists are static, but the updates are generated on near real time data. Updates will be reflected when the screen is updated. The PC asked how this app were overlapping/connection with UI-LDP app and the Dash Board app. These lists can be downloaded as CSV, but the output is not costumizable. The goal is to roll out the List app from all FOLIO adopters at the P & Q release (11/20/2023). At this point data from Item and Loans is implemented. The intension is to be able to do MARC searching. Searching on PO and POL is undecided at this point. The app will be available in FOLIO Snapshot 9 (but when is TBD). The Query builder is a query builder component, which already exist in the code base.

MM SIG Release Note & Other Highlights

Jennifer Eustis is going to step down from the MM highlights. See what to do next, e.g. improve our Jira Dashboard.

• Slack vote on Settings/Inventory with deadline. Małgorzata Gajkiewicz
  

Question: MARC templates management (create template, edit template, view template, delete template) for bibliographic descriptions, authority and items should be available in:

1. Settings App - 15 votes  
2. Inventory App - 2 votes

Vote result: MARC templates management will be added in Settings App.

• Templates storage was disscussed with Spitfire team. The decision was made that templates will be stored outside the SRS. There will be a separate table which will not interfere with SRS functionality. MARC bibliographic descriptions created using templates will be stored in SRS.

Ann-Marie Breaux (Deactivated) (regrets)

From Jennifer Eustis per Slack:

what about how to better highlight connections between FOLIO records and other apps like Orders, Receiving, Requests, Circ? If an instance is connected to a POL, to see that you need to scroll all the way down to the bottom of that record. It's also difficult to see quickly if there are any requests associated with an item for instance.

Goal for today: Look at the current implementation in all Inventory record types, see if that still fits our needs and then brainstorm about possible improvements
