Team + Gem

Special guest Gem Stone-Logan

  • ExL concerns discussed

    • CJK issues, reindexing

      • Jackie’s ticket regarding CJK issues revisited

    • Questions to clarify with ExL:

      • How many changes are happening during reindexing?

      • What is the normal reindexing process? How is CJK different from this process?

      • Need information on downtimes: scheduled better than unexpected, even if for 24 hrs.

      • What downtime is acceptable?

        • Need risk management and cost/benefit analysis.

        • Set expectations.

        • Create alternative plans for when things do not go to plan.

      • Need decision page with recommendation from ExL

        • Start one ourselves now if one is not provided by ExL

    • Reindexing will affect Alma only and not Primo.

    • Need to address our workarounds for ExL design flaws.

      • consider staff hours

      • keep a list of all workarounds

      • information can be used for software assessment

    • ExL efforts to fastrack tickets in “project flash” has not come to pass. Need to revisit this promised project.

  • Items to discuss at ExL meeting on Monday, 10/17/22 (or perhaps a future meeting):

    • need to address design flaws

    • create decision page with recommendations

    • set expectations for downtimes

    • Primo tickets (project flash)

 

@Tom Bustos will email Liz at ExL regarding reindexing for clarification, decision page with recommendations.

UC Alma User counts

11 minutes

Team

  • Update from Caitlin/Gem

    • Official pathway for reports: staff login report

    • Neil says they’re using a different report to get their numbers, causing an artificial inflation of their user count. Issue could be UCD is excluding inactive borrowers, but including expired borrowers that show as active.

    • This information should be included in UCD writeup for ExL - Neil would be best for this

    • Loganto could be causing an issue - need to revisit this topic

  • ExL admin accounts do not count against limit on named user accounts

    • expired users will count against named user accounts

    • currently at 80% capacity

 

@Caitlin Nelson write back on email chain with Neil regarding expired users (document findings, revisit next year)
