Peter,Just to clarify: what do you mean by 'transactions'? Our reporting work involves delving into lots of non-transactional data. Whatever system we get will have to allow us to deal with true transactions (like circ transactions, acquisitions transactions, etc.) but also a lot of data related to bibliographic records and more (for creating lists, troubleshooting, updating records, generating statistics, etc.).Thanks - Joanne
Sent from my iPadHi Lydia,This is a topic of some discussion among the developers. The current thought is that the FOLIO platform will provide a mechanism for apps to stream transactions out to a SQL database -- perhaps anonymizing and denormalizing the data along the way. It would be up to the module developers to use this mechanism to make transactions available to reporting utilities. Beyond that, the developers haven't specified any needs or requirements. There may be some discussion of refining the requirements and mechanisms at the developers meeting in Dublin next week.

While it may be premature for us to be looking at this, it would be helpful if an Index Data person could speak briefly to our SIG about reporting tools and this piece of the charge:
“The SIG should examine 3rd party reporting tools such as BIRT and other tools or dashboards that could be integrated into the platform.”
My sense is that we all use different methods of accessing and reporting our data, based largely on our LMS and the skill set of those creating reports. It would be helpful to get a sense of Folio’s vision on this topic.
If someone is available to address this in the next week or two, let me know and I will put you on the agenda.
