[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Acquistions development list from EG conference

[St. John, Leslie]

Rogan, 

For me, it is not so much that Evergreen isn't allowing reports its more that they are so hard to construct from the existing sources. Acq has a lot of tables and finding the one that meets your reporting needs is fairly daunting. So my wish would be for a couple of sources along the lines of the "Classic Circulation View" or the "Classic Item List". I've spent a considerable amount of time crafting a report that brings together line item information with fund detail information so that fund debits can be identified as to line item, po and invoice. There are a couple more reports that I'd like to have that combine some of the same pieces of line items and fund data. Does that help answer your question? 
I hope others will contribute. I really hated missing your session on report sources, maybe next time if you do it again?

The need for more acquisitions sources was brought up in the reporting interest group as well. I'd be curious to know what reports people need to run that Evergreen isn't allowing now. It might be more data sources or it might be that changes to existing data sources would accomodate them. Either way that can sometimes be easier to do than the bigger development stuff. We're just starting up with Acquisitions here so I'm interested in what we can do to smooth things out before we get deeper into using it ourselves.

Not that was brought up in the meeting. It is certainly something we can discuss here

I noticed one line item requesting acquisitions sources for reports. Was there a consensus of what sources were needed?

At the 2015 Evergreen Conference, acquisitions interface users and the Acquisitions Working Group created a list of development priorities for the interface. The attached list is divided into the ranked requests and requests that are desired; but lower priority to attendees. 

The list is just a list at this point. We also have not created Launchpad bugs for these. There may be some already; but, I wanted to get this out quickly to start discussion so have not yet matched any to the list. If you know of any already reported, please let me know and I will reference them. 

As we discuss the list and gather more information to further explain the individual items, I will begin creating requirements documents that we can then post to the community to solicit funds to assist in development and that should be appropriate to use to guide the development. 

Please let me know if there are other issues that should be added. Also, I could create a poll from the list so that those that did not have the opportunity to attend the conference can vote on the request ranking, if desired. 

So, let’s start the discussion ---- the list is attached as a pdf and as MSWord. I can create it as a Google doc if needed as well.
