The previous satisfaction survey implicated discovery a lot and Ex Libris' response was that moving to VE might address the CDI-related issues.
Because of the evaluation of Primo VE we are going to hold off on surfacing concerns until that decision is made. (We thank Brandon for his work here.)
Brandon created a central Samvera pipe and documentation for PBO.
The pipe for SW is also configured for VE. SDLC are waiting for an issue to be resolved before configuring the per-campus record scope for use.
David asked to group if we need to do this during a Primo VE session, but suggested a separate session for this. Recommended emailing the listserv to see if there is interest in having a dedicated session.
VE Eval: Centralized functionality for fields (search & display) & facets
Once a centralized field is customized locally, the local customization takes precedence.
Some fields would require considerable work to get a final product that matches our PBO setup.
There is a maximum amount of search and facet fields that can be configured centrally. [10 local and 10 central]
Common needs for search and faceting need to be debated as there is a limit of 10. Campuses should hold off on setting these up until we've agreed what will be configured centrally.
At some point we will need a Top 10 list of desired centralized search & facet fields.
NRTF will be prioritizing the norm rules/drools needed for the centrally controlled display fields to function first.
Campus Primo/VE admins may submit requests using the form, with the understanding that local needs are subordinate to centralized drools in the workload.
The group is open to communicating with the larger discovery group about what local fields should be managed in the network.
Would be helpful if the NRTF had a public list of all the changes that are being made via drools.
Christine will post examples in basecamp and ask EXL about how to change the links via drool.
The question of Chris Lee 's resource sharing configuration progress was raised. He recently learned that we will be unable to test VE requesting without affecting requesting in PBO. Need to invite comment or appearance from him on this issue.
Testing needs to be coordinated in a way that minimizes impact on the production servers. Method/plan for this TBD.
No remaining Go VE task list topics, however it was agreed there are still things to be discussed and inform campuses about: e.g. DEDUP, FRBR, Boosting
IZ records (equipment) displaying in CSU+ and beyond scopes

Action items
David Walker will email the Discovery list and see if there is interest in having an Open Forum dedicated to walking folks through the pipe configuration in Primo Back Office.
Gabriel Gardner (Unlicensed) will follow up with the authors of the various testing plans that need some additional work.
Christine Holmes (Unlicensed) will post to Basecamp and summarize our understanding of the 856 issue and ask Ex Libris how unwanted links can be addressed via drools.
Decisions
Campuses should not configure any Local Search or Local Facet fields in VE until we decide what can/will be configured centrally.
