Terran McCanna 2:07 PM Here is the list of test servers: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1WhTi9y_7qWs0weHceG15FjshAsZabffyPfeIzlcRewI/edit#gid=0

PaILS ILS Application Specialist 2:08 PM yes

You 2:21 PM https://pines.georgialibraries.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=reports:home

Andrea Buntz Neiman 2:22 PM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNoxPPgGoR4&list=PLsktT5b82paWzb6R_C_0pJ4pf_eo9xOGJ&index=5&t=4s

You 2:22 PM https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuI6ftOimwMFzxtWnXiW2B6BTDD70a_iY You 2:26 PM https://bc.libraries.coop/support/sitka/ That has links to Sitka's training stuff.

William Matheson 2:30 PM Qn: Would "Name" and in list work?

Aubrey Area Library 2:31 PM same owning lib

Terran McCanna 2:32 PM William - I've encountered with trying to generate lists of names that way, it's usually better if you use the ID to generate the dropdown list as it has built-in logic to understand that If you want to be able to type in the name, you could filter on name but using "Contains matching substring"

William Matheson 2:32 PM Cool, thanks

Aubrey Area Library 2:33 PM CHAOS!

Terran McCanna 2:34 PM I do ALL THE TIME

William Matheson 2:36 PM why are shelving locations coming up twice - is it just a quirk about the data set? (two+ records with same name?)

Terran McCanna 2:36 PM Yes, if you're new to reports, this is a complicated testing example -don't be scared away! :D

Beth Willis 2:37 PM I've never created a template just once. ;-)

Terran McCanna 2:37 PM Same here!

Carissa Malmgren 2:37 PM "Change notes: PLEASE WORK"

Terran McCanna 2:38 PM I even teach basic reports classes on occasion and I still have to go through multiple iterations Terran McCanna 2:40 PM In PINES we allow each location to set their own shelving locations, which means we can have up to 350 or so different sets of shelving locations. So in most of the reports I built, I make them type in the shelving location name they want rather than trying to pick the right one from the list

Tiffany Little 2:45 PM Update: I don't think clark is running on that server, guys :\

Terran McCanna 2:47 PM We'll bug Chris tomorrow to get it turned on

Tiffany Little 2:50 PM I honestly just loved the fall theming of acorns and butternut :)

You 2:53 PM Tiffany +1

William Matheson 2:54 PM Qn: Are the hundreds / tens / ones meant to be catalouged that way or is it just derived from a call number text field? our call numbers aren't very "clean", so…

Terran McCanna 2:55 PM Yes, that makes it more difficult. That's a constant cleanup project for everyone! And it's very literally, so if your call number starts with something that not a number (eg, "REF 123", it won't understand it Terran McCanna 2:57 PM *literal, not literally Terran McCanna 2:59 PM Looking at our canned reports, looks we've always used Dewey Blocks, so I have no idea what the ranges are

William Matheson 3:00 PM gotta jet if i want to get a full lunch (it's noon Pacific rn) - nice to meet you all, see you around the bend!

Terran McCanna 3:00 PM Bye!

You 3:01 PM See ya William

Terran McCanna 3:03 PM My first test is to see whether it breaks anything :D Terran McCanna 3:05 PM I think Dev group is the first Tuesday

Irene Patrick 3:06 PM agreed

Terran McCanna 3:06 PM I'd like to have a good session on nullability

Carissa Malmgren 3:06 PM +1

Irene Patrick 3:06 PM =1

Co-op Support 3:06 PM +1 nullability

Terran McCanna 3:07 PM We could probably get Chris to come talk on that. He's told me before, but I immediately forget

Laura Burk 3:07 PM I agree with all these. I've only modified templates, never created from scratch, but I want to try

Co-op Support 3:07 PM that's how I feel
