Community List Access
by Jennifer Weston 10 Mar '25

10 Mar '25

I am having trouble with the link to access Evergreen community lists -- where we can register for individual group listservs (like Cataloging, DIG, etc.). Anyone else having this issue? Link: http://list.evergreen-ils.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/ All the Evergreen committees have links to their respective lists on the Evergreen website here: https://evergreen-ils.org/communicate/committees/ and none of the links appear to work today. Found this when trying to review moderated messages that needed to be forwarded to the CatIG list -- and I do not see the lists at all. Thanks, Jennifer --- Jennifer Weston, MLIS Product and Education Manager | Assistant Operations Manager Equinox Open Library Initiative *jennifer.weston(a)equinoxOLI.org <jennifer.weston(a)equinoxOLI.org>*1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) direct: 770-709-5574 *www.equinoxOLI.org <http://www.equinoxOLI.org>*

3.15 Feature Slush - Wednesday March 12
by Andrea Buntz Neiman 10 Mar '25

10 Mar '25

Hello Evergreen, Apologies for the cross posting. Feature Slush for Evergreen 3.15 is this *Wednesday, March 12th*. Feature slush means "any features intended for this release should be finished & pullrequested." Bugfixes can still go in through 3.15-beta, which is still a couple weeks away. So, if you've got a feature close to completion, now's the time to get your branch out there! Next week *Tuesday, March 18th* is Feature Freeze / String Freeze / Translation String Slush. This means "no more feature merges after this date; minimize string [i.e. word/label] changes." So any of those pullrequested features must be merged before next Tuesday. There's a lot of good stuff pending for 3.15-beta already, so if you are a tester or a committer please take a look at this list and see what you can move along: Bugs currently tagged as "Wishlist" and targeted for 3.15-beta <https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bugs?field.searchtext=&orderby=-impor…> Thanks on behalf of the release team, Andrea Buntz Neiman Ruth Frasur Davis Martha Driscoll Jason Etheridge Llewellyn Marshall Gina Monti -- Andrea Buntz Neiman, MLS (she/her) Project Manager for Software Development | Product Specialist Equinox Open Library Initiative abneiman(a)equinoxOLI.org <abneiman(a)equinoxoli.org> 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) Direct: 770-709-5583 *https://www.equinoxOLI.org/ <https://www.equinoxOLI.org/>*

Hello everyone, We're currently testing background imports in 3.14 and getting ready to turn it on in April. We're trying to figure out what interval will make sense for running the cronjob to process the background imports. If you have background imports set up or are planning to set it up, how often are you running the cronjob?

Re: hoping for collective insight regarding problems with lost status after upgrade
by Elizabeth Davis 28 Feb '25

28 Feb '25

Hello PaILS/SPARK is on 3.13 since November and we have not seen any issues with the mark item lost triggers or staff having the ability to mark items as lost. I will note that all of our circulation permission groups have this permission set at the Consortium level so that they can mark items outside their org units as lost to help facilitate resource sharing. The two permissions are: MARK_ITEM_LOST- According to the permissions working groups' testing notes this one doesn't seem to do anything. SET_CIRC_LOST- According to the same notes, this one seems to be the one that actually allows a user to mark an item as lost [cid:8130e881-7eed-46f5-8090-009595ad8294]Elizabeth Davis (she/her), Program Manager Pennsylvania Integrated Library System (PaILS) | SPARK (717) 256-1627 | elizabeth.davis(a)sparkpa.org<mailto:katherine.dannehl@sparkpa.org> support.sparkpa.org<https://support.sparkpa.org/> | support(a)sparkpa.org<mailto:support@sparkpa.org> ________________________________ From: Evergreen-general <evergreen-general-bounces(a)list.evergreen-ils.org> on behalf of Morgan, Michele via Evergreen-general <evergreen-general(a)list.evergreen-ils.org> Sent: Monday, February 24, 2025 12:19 PM To: Evergreen Discussion Group <evergreen-general(a)list.evergreen-ils.org> Cc: Morgan, Michele <mmorgan(a)noblenet.org> Subject: Re: [Evergreen-general] hoping for collective insight regarding problems with lost status after upgrade Hi Beth, Like Terran, we do not have action triggers that mark items Lost, but we do mark items Long Overdue via trigger. We are on 3.13 and the triggers have been running fine. I tested marking an item Lost from a patron's Items Out tab on our 3.13 test system and it also worked as expected. I would tend to agree with Terran that it could be a permissions issue. Bug 2018491<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__bugs.launchpad.net_eve…> tightened permissions on items, so it could be that staff permissions need to be adjusted. For the Mark Lost action triggers, I would recommend checking the triggers' Parameters. The trigger should have an 'editor' parameter, the value should be the database id of a user who has permission to update items. Hope this is helpful! Michele -- Michele M.

The fact that others are not experiencing this (to our knowledge), I'm left wondering if it is a system configuration issue on our end. Have any of you experienced anything like this? Are any of you using action-triggers to mark items long overdue after x number of days and then marking it lost after another x number of days? Thanks in advance for any ideas or insight you can provide.
