Action Items
Discussion Items
Update from the ISC (Defered)
Update on Shared Analytics Reports and Dashboards
1.Question from one of the previous meetings: is there a storage limitation for the analytics shared folders or personal folders?
Answer from Ex Libris: according to our Analytics Developers, there is no limit enforced or imposed by Ex Libris on the number of reports which might be in a personal or shared folder.
2.There are some issues with the Page 1+ shared folder. Previously, some to-be-deleted subfolders couldn’t be removed by Ex Libris' weekly synchronization process. And on Nov. 21, the whole folder couldn’t be found.
This was fixed by Ex Libris on Nov. 23.
Jennifer reminded the subcommittee that the Page 1+ shared folder is not a reliable space, as it can be accessed and edited by anyone in the Alma community (not just our institutions). It is best if you save a copy of the folder for yourself.
Once the folder is more developed/stable then there is the potential of making a back-up.
