- Concerns expressed by HM including the ability to support the definition of reports by non-technical users and addressing the licensing issues of Jasper, the software that powers the currents current reports module.
- HM established the following priorities for the March 2017 release of ArchivesSpace:
- Repair the broken Jasper Reports (reported here).
- Remove Jasper.
- HM also suggested the need to research and create recommendations for robust standalone reporting tools that would work well with ArchivesSpace.
- The group agreed that strategic next steps for the Reports Subteam includes defining the predefined reports library.
- The ability to plug in reports to the new module for repositories with more technical proficiency was also discussed.
- Finally, the group discussed the need to cull the current offering of reports in Archives to identify those reports that are critically important. They also discusses the addition of a limited number of new reports to the library to address some of the new functionalities related to locations and top containers.
