1 | Q&A (recurring) - urgent questions | Do you have a question to discuss at the meeting? Add it below with your name. Not an “urgent” question, but what are others setting as a timeout for Primo logins? Just curious as a guide. (Tom) (Sarah) We have gotten the final confirmation that we cannot currently use the 899 MARC field to exclude items from the Discovery Network as we would prefer. For the long term, UCSC has created an Idea Exchange item to be able to use a local field when we define the search scope for the Network (which is what is needed to make the 899 work). Please encourage local voting for this issue if you are so disposed. The short term solution is to use the 520 field (DFG will test) which should be fine for equipment but does already have an assigned use in the MARC record. https://ideas.exlibrisgroup.com/forums/308176-primo/suggestions/43984239-allow-local-fields-as-filters-for-nz-search-scopes (Sarah) Is anyone still experiencing issues accessing their premium sandbox? For those with SSO issues, how was this resolved? (Tom) Did anyone get an answer from ExL on the numeric vs. name issue in Facets? Question for ExLibris: How are local campus membership votes weighted vs. a 10-campus consortial membership vote? Are they seen as equal votes or is the consortial vote weighted higher? (Ask the ELUNA group that runs NERS. ExL doesn’t manage this. My understanding is a vote is a vote, whether an individual institution or consortium. If you want a single vote, you pay for an individual ELUNA membership. Work your magic on the Alma list to convince others to vote on your enhancement.)
What’s happening with the RLFs and Caia? Browzine update from Gem
| 30 | | 30 minutes No questions, comments or concerns. No more issues with sandbox access. ExL didn’t indicate how they fixed the problem. Jackie will share the response from ExL. UCB, UCLA, saw this issue. UCM saw it earlier. Hi Jackie, We ran into this problem when last time we delivered cutover data in Primo around July 25. It happened last time because we built the NZ of 5 campuses first and added 5 campuses later after the SP. As dev explained: "5 sites don't have translations for locations and institutions that were added SP mid-version. Since adding an Alma institution to a consortia mid-version won't trigger cache refresh for PRIMA_TRANSLATION and PRIMA_SHARED_TRANSLATIONS. Dev refreshed those regions manually. It fixed the problem." I am not sure what happened this time. We forwarded the case to development for further investigation. Can you add more information in the case if you are aware what changes may have occurred recently. Thanks, Ping
Caitlin will investigate. https://el-una.org/working-groups/enhancement-voting-one-vote/ Idea Exchange is managed by ExL and anyone who has a login can vote.
UCB and UCLA are considering unchecking “transit option in remote storage configuration” as an interim solution Browzine update: Gem is still investigating the options. Expiration dates – what happens when they expire? It’s complex. UCSC has some jobs with multiple expiration dates. They just turned on the job. Gillian will report back.

2 | How do I escalate a case? | How do I escalate a case? Notify the consultant assigned to your case (via the case) Notify your SILS Project Managers and consider adding them as an additional email to your case (but at minimum provide them the case #) Your SILS PMs and EXL PM will work together to provide a plan for moving ahead with the issue If consultant, SILS PMs, and EXL PM does not reply, or arrange for needed assistance, our EXL Project Sponsor, Marina Spivakov should be notified.

3 | Timeline review / PM update | | 0 | Lena | Due today: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OiagJLskvBoxdiimplMugB--b2G47agxfnCel6n9gQo/edit#gid=59444287 Is everyone signed up for ExL alerts? (shared via email 8/11) How can I sign up for System Status Alerts for Alma and Primo VE UC libraries Alma & Primo VE instances are hosted on the ExLibris "NA07" environment, where the NA stands for the North America. If you wish, you and other library staff can sign up for System Status alerts for that environment here: https://status.exlibrisgroup.com/ (including current status, outage history, planned maintenance) Sandboxes: Brief update was provided in the 9 August 2021: Project Status Update Meeting. ExL has all of the PSBs delivered to the Professional Services team and they are putting together messaging before releasing them to the campuses. Should be done by EOD on Friday. (shared via slack 8/11) ExL suggests using Thursday offices hours to cover a topic if multiple campuses have the same issue. (shared via slack 8/11 - all-cohort)
Coming soon… Special meetings | | |
4 | Switch to Support Readiness form Objective: identify issues that need to be resolved and identify trends in problematic areas. Due: 8/30, 9/20, 10/11 | Any questions? | | | | | |
5 | Integrations form Due: 9/15 | ExL Support requested a complete/updated Integrations form prior to your Switch to Support. This is not a multiple version/task like the Switch to Support Readiness form but rather a one time deal. EVERY CAMPUS must complete one.

6 | Analytics workshop | Introduce the permissions sheet, Q&A, and ask ICs to complete it by 8/19 Sent via email on 8/11: I worked with the co-chairs of the Internal Training team and Marci on this permissions sheet for the Analytics workshop on Sep 7-10. Please complete the permissions sheet by Aug 19. The instructions are on the sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OiagJLskvBoxdiimplMugB--b2G47agxfnCel6n9gQo/edit#gid=59444287 Originally, we discussed having the ICs see the questions in advance to decide if Ex Libris trainer, Amanda Schriver should demo your IZ. That turned out to be too complex to manage and not realistic for the workshop. Instead, you now have the option to indicate "yes" or "no" to demo for each session of the workshop. And, you have the option to say "yes" or "no" to using your IZ if someone from your campus asks a question. Let me know if you have any questions. | 0 | Lena | | | |
