Description

This session will discuss reporting in FOLIO using the Library Data Platform (LDP), a new open source system for reporting and analytics in libraries.

Topics covered will include:

1.      Introduction to the LDP: the design and implementation of the platform.

2.      The FOLIO reporting community: organization of the Reporting SIG (convener, working groups, JIRA issue management) and joining the Reporting SIG (weekly meetings, online discussion forums, help wanted).

3.      Building FOLIO reports with the LDP: accessing the LDP database (compatible client-side database/reporting software, public reference environments for testing), data models (how tables are mapped from FOLIO modules, using API documentation), creating report queries (relational tables, JSON data, support for arrays, the structure of complex queries), local tables (storing query results in user-created tables, integrating non-FOLIO data), and support for historical data.

4.      Community-developed reports: requirements prototyping, query development, the shared FOLIO query repository, and guidelines for contributed queries.
