Today's notetaker:

Last week's notetaker: Tod Olson and Ingolf Kuss

In App ReportingFilip Jakobsen, Holly Mistlebauer

Filip joins this week's Reporting SIG meeting to provide an overview of his vision for in-app reporting in FOLIO

  • introductions
  • Filip's vision for in app reporting
  • Reporting SIG members: questions, comments, discussion

NOTES

-form filler functionality discussed with ERM is similar to Filip's vision for in app reporting

-we have search and filter functionality in FOLIO today; could save templates as form

-many reports we are doing today could be delivered as in app reports

-logic of having a checkbox, search, and filter with csv download

-if we build search/filter/checkbox functionality into the applications (see UI prototype design below), we could deliver many in app reports

-add "associated records" to application window to allow user to select data elements from different apps




-(Tod) fits well with moving away from Stripes toward GraphQL

-(Nassib) workflow engine could orchestrate representation

-(Tod) if we make templates, need to make sure they could be called from an API and a workflow


Related issues we have discussed and we will discuss further at future meeting

  • distinction between in-app reports and LDP datawarehouse reports: real-time data vs day-old data
  • review JIRA tickets for in-app reports
  • details on the interface to pull data out of different applications
  • timeframe, project planning for in app report (features) development
  • 2 basic types of in-app reports: Excel exports and other more detailed reports
  • discuss possible candidate for a pilot area to implement in-app reporting functionality; discuss timing, scope, etc.; best to look for an area where ad hoc reporting is needed (user management?)
  • A number of reports have been taken on as in-app, these have been what you might call "static reports", like patrons that owe over N amount of fines, which everyone will want.
  • Have also been talking about exports to CSV, which are similar data to static reports but can be sent to a spreadsheet
  • Looking for feedback from Reporting SIG members: Are we going in the right direction?
