RA Documentation Review

Set steps for our documentation efforts

What do we think is missing in this architecture?

  • cross-app workflow documentation?
  • more "behind the scenes" docs? e.g., things libraries should know about workarounds, tips for how to do things more efficiently, other?
  • docs for RA features that take place in Users?
  • docs for RA workflows in Inventory?

Notes

     Administrivia:

  • Update from the PC-Meeting: Acceptance Testing
    • Testing involvement from SMEs – POs wanted to come to SME with aspects of test involvement? 
    • SME to work on UAT during development testing
    • At RM UAT – there was an environment where data can persists, would be important for RA tests as well

    • Bug fest now 2 weeks instead of one week – it is so close to software release to have enough time to fix bugs – goal with testing earlier to catch bugs earlier (Regression testing)
    • during bug testing finding spec bugs - catching those earlier would be good too  

    • Spec Bugs = stories in Jira – built by developer as specified – behaving like it, but not meeting expectations from SMEs

    • the Spec is the problem - not the development of the developer 
    • Developer seem not happy with feedback from SIG (volunteering for tests) – how can we support/help?

    • There is a regular PO Meeting and first RA POs will talk this through and will come back to SIG with possible test, if ready 
  • Charlotte will come to the RA SIG with a review of the inventory instances and our preferences 

documentation - continue working on in-app reports document

  • Requests – Export search results
    • We also want to include the department in this report – the new users field
  • Requests - Export shelf clearance report

    • Report is greyed out – requires at least one requests in “Closed – Pickup expired” status at the service point where you are in order to be able to run the report. 
    • How hart is it to change the pickup service point? 

    • You can change it – it will tell you to put in transit if it was changed afterwards / You can change the pickup service point in the request (status open)
    • There were a couple of changes recently and probably more to come.
    • Under what scenarios can you change a request pickup point by just editing the service desk pickup point in the request? ...
    • Add searchable call number 
    • Report is based on the service point you are at – service point field is not in the report
    • Workaround – to more than one service point is the results list export and filter 
    • Feature requests for Pick list export for all service point – not developed yet
    • If you're trying to do multiple service points at once, you'd use the export search results functionality, which includes the service point of the request.
  • Inventory – in transit items 
    • Want machine sortable call number when its available
    • Want effective location and permanent location
    • Is title check in service point clear enough? Should it be Last check in location?

RA Documentation Review

  • Erin and Andy (substitute) as representatives for RA and Christine Tobias as representative for UM in the documentation working group
  • Started the documentation with RA – so there is already documentation which we are reviewing 
  • the working group will talk about screenshots - Concerned about the flux in UI and maintenance 
  • Think about, what to add to documentation 

  • Even if we document certain topics outside of the documentation website 
  • Are there workflow between apps, which we need to document the basics?
  • Documentations behind the scenes? Workarounds, tips on doing work more efficiently  
  • Website: Step by step for a basic users – nothing on implementation consideration e.g. loan rules
  • Docs for RA features that take place in users?

  • Questions: Shouldn’t be the entries for users and Circulation in the left pane closer together? 

  • User is right now in Administration – could be in an own section?

  • Link from Circulation to User documentation 
  • Users – two aspects as staff administration and for patron management 
  • Circulation log – still missing in the left pane - behind the scene work for documentation – was not included because Circulation log was not in FOLIO by the time Marcia did the left pane in the website

  • Starting a list for missing topics – so the writers can start with this list/topics
