| th1a | hi replaceafill. | 16:30 |
|---|---|---|
| replaceafill | hey th1a | 16:30 |
| th1a | Just forwarded an interesting email I got last night. | 16:32 |
| th1a | I don't know why everyone emails me over the weekend... | 16:32 |
| replaceafill | :D | 16:32 |
| replaceafill | i wonder what this means? "We are considering starting with the free features from Alma." | 16:34 |
| th1a | Uh... | 16:34 |
| th1a | I think this is an edited version of an email they've sent lots of people. | 16:34 |
| th1a | So, who knows. | 16:34 |
| th1a | OK, so ultimately that may not add up to much, unless they decide they would like to host the servers locally. | 16:35 |
| th1a | Anyhow, I'll be responding. | 16:36 |
| replaceafill | ok | 16:36 |
| th1a | How far did you get with testing? | 16:37 |
| replaceafill | fixed most of cando tests | 16:37 |
| replaceafill | there's just a couple (relationship related) left | 16:38 |
| replaceafill | it should be done today | 16:38 |
| th1a | OK, so we'll have a few loose ends in... interventions then? | 16:39 |
| replaceafill | plugins missing: interventions, virginia, quiz | 16:39 |
| replaceafill | we can delay quiz i guess | 16:39 |
| th1a | Well, we should move on to the ARK stuff now. | 16:40 |
| replaceafill | ok | 16:41 |
| th1a | But you can wrap up CanDo if you like. | 16:41 |
| replaceafill | sure | 16:41 |
| replaceafill | so, the task is to reproduce the custom xls report in peas | 16:41 |
| replaceafill | to work with multiple databases, correcT? | 16:41 |
| th1a | Yes. | 16:42 |
| replaceafill | ok, understood | 16:42 |
| th1a | Hm... | 16:43 |
| th1a | I'm just not sure how to make a useful data-less preview. | 16:43 |
| th1a | Just to show what the columns currently are. | 16:43 |
| th1a | I mean, one that looks decent... | 16:44 |
| replaceafill | just of a list of the columns to include? | 16:45 |
| replaceafill | instead of the table | 16:45 |
| th1a | Well, I don't have a better idea. | 16:45 |
| replaceafill | i have a question on the filters | 16:45 |
| replaceafill | the Group filter for instance | 16:46 |
| replaceafill | people may have created custom groups in specific schools | 16:46 |
| th1a | Maybe we should start with just the groups common to both. | 16:46 |
| replaceafill | just default groups? | 16:46 |
| replaceafill | or common by group id maybe? | 16:47 |
| th1a | Ah, good point... I guess it would have to be by id. | 16:47 |
| replaceafill | same for the rest of stuff? | 16:47 |
| replaceafill | level | 16:47 |
| replaceafill | course | 16:47 |
| th1a | The only alternative is by title. | 16:48 |
| th1a | or both. | 16:48 |
| replaceafill | what about instructor and section? | 16:48 |
| replaceafill | should we group those? | 16:48 |
| th1a | I mean, the premise is that this server is working off schools with a common setup. | 16:48 |
| replaceafill | ah | 16:48 |
| replaceafill | good point | 16:48 |
| th1a | Hm... | 16:48 |
| th1a | OK... | 16:49 |
| th1a | Lets assume at this point that the user *would* want to choose by instructor. | 16:50 |
| th1a | Section... I think would be crazy. | 16:50 |
| th1a | Because those would not be set up in any kind of meaningfully consistent way. | 16:50 |
| replaceafill | i think we could group Instructor as: | 16:50 |
| replaceafill | --- School 1 --- | 16:50 |
| replaceafill | instructor1 | 16:50 |
| replaceafill | instructor2 | 16:50 |
| replaceafill | instructor3 | 16:50 |
| replaceafill | --- School 2 --- | 16:50 |
| th1a | Yeah. | 16:50 |
| replaceafill | etc | 16:50 |
| replaceafill | ok | 16:50 |
| th1a | There probably should just be a "School" filter. | 16:51 |
| replaceafill | i was thinking of "grouping" options instead | 16:51 |
| replaceafill | the School filter would require filtering options in the rest of the filters, right? | 16:52 |
| th1a | I guess instructor. | 16:52 |
| th1a | We could still limit the groups, etc. to the common ones. | 16:52 |
| replaceafill | ah ok | 16:53 |
| th1a | At least until they complain, which would be a long time in the future. | 16:53 |
| th1a | The people at the central office won't be thinking about things like school specific groups. | 16:53 |
| th1a | I guess eventually courses. | 16:53 |
| th1a | Don't be paranoid about re-loading things like courses as if they are going to change during a session. | 16:54 |
| th1a | Or... anything really. | 16:54 |
| replaceafill | ok | 16:55 |
| replaceafill | th1a, what's the timeline for this report? | 16:58 |
| replaceafill | i mean | 16:58 |
| replaceafill | are we doing anything else this week? | 16:58 |
| replaceafill | or, what's next? :) | 16:59 |
| th1a | This is what I have in mind for ARK stalling. | 16:59 |
| th1a | After that, we'll go onto those other simple labels/reports we were looking at last week. | 16:59 |
| replaceafill | ah ok | 16:59 |
| th1a | Or you could finish the tests I guess. | 17:00 |
| replaceafill | ok | 17:01 |
| th1a | Then the Next Big Thing would be the new School page. | 17:02 |
| replaceafill | ok | 17:04 |
| th1a | I think that's it for now. | 17:04 |
| replaceafill | cool | 17:04 |
| replaceafill | thanks th1a | 17:04 |
| th1a | Can we meet an hour later tomorrow? | 17:04 |
| replaceafill | ah ok | 17:05 |
| replaceafill | sure | 17:05 |
| th1a | No school so I can squeeze in a morning skate. | 17:05 |
| th1a | Thanks replaceafill. | 17:05 |
| replaceafill | :) | 17:05 |
| th1a | I'm going to try to use your sielibre email more, btw. | 17:18 |
| th1a | replaceafill. | 17:19 |
| replaceafill | th1a, ah sure | 17:19 |
| replaceafill | i added it to my thunderbird now | 17:19 |
| replaceafill | so i check it regularly | 17:19 |
