[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Web client hacking days

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi all,

We didn't get a huge response to our web client hacking day poll, but it 
looks like Fridays work well for the people who responded. I decided to 
set the two Fridays preceding 2.12 feature slush as web client hacking 
days. If you only can participate in one, that's fine, but I think the 
two days will help us focus on resolving web client issues before the 
2.12 release.


The Web client hacking days, then, will be held on Friday January 27 and 
Friday, February 5. Community members can participate by working on web 
client bug fixes, otherwise improving the web client, testing fixes that 
have pullrequest tags or working on documentation for the web client.


I also would like to highlight a few web client bugs that I think are 
important to address to make pilot use of the web client in libraries as 
smooth as possible.


- I've already indicated that I consider the 'renew and edit due date 
features do not calculate correctly in web staff client' bug to be a 
must-fix item for the 2.12 release. Related to that bug is 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1657466. The form for editing 
due dates from the patron's Items Out screen will not submit.


- Hatch 2.12 omnibus - https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1646166 
- we discussed this bug in the last dev meeting. Although we can pilot 
the web client in production without hatch, we think it's important that 
hatch is ready to test in production too. Bill Erickson has been working 
on the code for this feature and is looking for people to put their eyes 
on the code and the behavior.


- Item Status List View Missing Column Options - 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1528924 and Item Status 
(Detail View) missing actions. The Item Status interface is highly used 
by both circ and cataloging staff. Getting everything into this 
interface will improve the experience for those who opt to test the 
client in production.


I will be highlighting other important web client bugs as we get closer 
to release time. If there are any you think should be highlighted, 
please let me know.


Kathy

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Finding records in Evergreen that have no items attached?

[Walz, Jennifer]

Andrea,

Ooo…  that looks nice too.   That would probably have been my follow up 
question.  ☺

Thanks!

Hi Jennifer,

An alternative that I used when I worked at KCPL will show bibs that have no 
copies but still have empty volumes attached (which can prevent a record from 
auto-deleting):

Source -- Last Copy Delete Time

Displayed Fields:
Record ID (transform: Raw Data)
Delete Date/Time (Transform: Date)

Filter Field:
[Bib] Deleted = False  (Last Copy Delete Time :: Record ID)

This will return a list of Bib IDs for undeleted bibs, and the date the last 
copy on the bib was deleted.  You can then go through and delete any "stuck" 
empty volumes.

Jennifer,


This sounds familiar. We developed an additional reporting source to make this 
easier for us. In case your goal was to find bibs that "used" to have copies 
attached. Take a look at

All –

We need to find out if we have ‘empty’ records.   IS there a report template 
that I can modify that will show me all our records  with no items attached?  
Maybe there is a source that is particularly helpful if I need to start from 
scratch?   Can someone advise me on how to find out this information.

Thanks!
