I'm interested in output from the meeting, but can't attend.  Are we
able to use the recording and auto-transcript features?

[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Student Success Working Group -- first meeting

[Jane Sandberg]

Hi Evergreeners,

The first meeting of the Evergreen Student Success Working Group will
be at 11am Pacific / 12pm Mountain / 1pm Central / 2pm Eastern on
Friday, 16 February.  I recognize that this time doesn't work for
everybody, but please feel free to send comments to me directly if
you're unable to attend.

I put together an agenda for us; let me know if you'd like me to add
anything: 
https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.php?id=student_success_working_group:agenda_2018-02-16

IRC is not a totally familiar technology, so I thought we'd try
holding this meeting using Zoom, which is a video/audio conference
technology. Please let me know if you'd like to try this technology
out before the meeting.

To join from PC, Mac, Linux, iOS or Android:
https://linnbenton.zoom.us/j/816138988
To join by telephone:
  * Dial +1 669 900 6833 in the USA
  * Dial +1 647 558 0588 in Canada
  * Dial one of these numbers if joining from another country:
https://zoom.us/zoomconference
  * Enter the meeting ID: 816 138 988

Finally, please share this meeting time with your colleagues who
support students in their work.  I think that this group will be
particularly strong if we have participants from a diverse array of
libraries and viewpoints.

Looking forward to it,

   -Jane

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Billing notices

Hi Jennifer,

I believe the granularity is only a way to group notices together, and
doesn't actually affect when it runs.  The cron settings are what link a
particular granularity to a frequency.  So if your server already has a
cron job for triggers with no granularity, then removing the granularity
from your trigger would allow it to be run the next time the cron job
sequence runs.  However, it is possible your trigger has already been
getting processed and piling up a lot of "pending" notices.  If this is the
case, then removing the granularity might send those "pending" notices,
which may be redundant or outdated.  So it's probably best to coordinate
with your server/database administrator.

Here is some documentation about the cron script, in case your server admin
needs it:

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Billing notices

[Remington Steed]

Hi Jennifer,

It seems you have a granularity of "Weekly" for this trigger.  Do you have
a cron job setup for "action_trigger_runner.pl --run-pending
--granularity=Weekly" ?  If you run that script without a "--granularity"
specific, I believe it will only run triggers with a blank granularity
value.

Regarding repeated events, take a look at the “Event Repeatability Delay”
field on the Action Trigger Event Definition:

*http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/3.0/_notifications_action_triggers.html
*

The docs say “Allows events to be repeated after this delay interval”,
which is not very detailed, but sounds like it would help. I recall someone
saying it's important to have the correct combination of repeatability and
"Max Event Validity Delay".

All –



  I think we are having trouble with our ‘billing’ notice.   I am not sure
we have it set correctly with the right trigger and so forth.  Patrons do
not seem to be getting these, even when we think the conditions have been
met.



What we want is for when a patron goes past the $5.00 limit in total amount
owed, to be sent a notice saying that.   And also telling them that their
ability to check out is now prevented.In addition, we would like this
to REPEAT every week (can we set it smaller?) until it is paid down below
that limit.   Is this possible?



  What we have set now is this:

  What are the correct hooks, processing delay, validators, and granularity
that we do want to set?Am I missing something?  What other settings do
we need?



Thanks!


Jennifer
