Good afternoon all,
Here is your nightly migration update:
- MFA - Data migration complete, staff have been sent password reset emails to log in
- Lesley - Data migration complete, staff waiting on IT in order to use SSO to log in (if we can't get SSO working by tomorrow, I can provide alternate logins)
- MassArt - FLO still working on users, checkouts and fines. Staff accounts ready to go for when we're done (should be tomorrow).
For staff that have already logged in to FOLIO, please feel free to do some last minute reviewing of your data if you have the time. You can also begin to add the following to the Settings app:
- Circulation calendar(s) - The calendar will be important for circulation (FOLIO will take into account your open hours when calculating due dates). FLO added in a fake calendar so we could load your circ data. Feel free to overwrite it with your actual information. Most libraries make a new calendar for each semester (ex. spring 2025 calendar).
- User block criteria (conditions and limits) - These are set up by patron group and you can decide what triggers a block and to what extent a user is blocked.
- Course terms/departments (if using FOLIO/VuFind for course reserves)
We covered these misc. go-live settings in the last core team meeting if you need further guidance.
Please do not proceed with circulation and cataloging until your go-live date (Monday, June 9th)! Index Data needs to get Metadb working for all 3 libraries which usually takes several (weekend) days. Metadb is the reporting database behind FOLIO. Until Metadb is up and running it's not recommended that you begin your usual workflows because your activities won't be recorded in the database.
