Metro east prep for meeting next week: 1. Allow Editing boxes to be used as entity tabs
2. Make sure Browse Asset UI works well and has a category tree
3. Make sure we can filter drop down lists such as adding a query filter: type="staff" (I think this is an old feature we had already) 4.
Make sure Render masks can combine two fields such as First and Last and dave it to the "Name" field

Thanks for checking in. I was unsure about the state of schema and whether or not it is ready, particularly the table “dam_contacts” replacing dedicated fields and lists.
That said, I haven’t had time to look at those things. We’ve just been informed that our finance director has an offer that we cannot meet or beat, and they are leaving in 2 weeks. I’ll be taking over a portion of their work while we attempt to hire anew.
This project remains a very important part of a grant which is due end of December. I’ll be doing what I can to keep this moving forward.
I’ll make time to assess my question noted above about contacts, and get some feedback back to you.
I do recall the next item for us was that I would be adjusting the sample data CSV files to match the new column names. That will be next, but it’s uncertain that I will make much progress in the next 2 weeks.
Appreciate you both. Thanks!

Hi… You’re absolutely correct. Things have been heating up for me a bit.
I’ve got some critical structural things to nail down in an adjacent project.
I have plans to ask the grantor for more time on this project, in a meeting next week.
We’re meeting this evening to discuss our hiring plans for the Director of Finance and an executive assistant who will mostly support the DoF position; which we didn’t previously plan for in the budget.
I’m now in charge of Payroll and the pay equity study's implementation; which both come before this work.
Some time will open up next week for me to look at the demo data a bit more. I looked today, and had to stop before I got very far.

Hello Dieneke and Christopher!
It’s been a bit of an adventure over here. We’ve just signed on with a nonprofit specific financial services provider, so I’m expecting to be a bit busy onboarding with them for the next few weeks. After which, I can turn my full attention to completing the various program ingest and scheduling projects. Would you please illuminate on our remaining balance?
I’ve some sample data, attached. Our folks are working on resolving questions I have around workflow needs; mainly person records being associated with a procedural action, attached to the Project/Season/Program records.
The sample data may include items that do not yet exist, or may need to be matched to the proper name.
The exports taken recently used to create them included columns we don’t intend to use and some items are missing in one table while present in others.
Some concepts captured by Ron in the original schema need to be parsed by our folks before we try to implement them:
Requested By: Presumably the producer, but could this be someone else?
Responsible Staff: I’m unsure how this differs from Requested, but can imagine requested to be a client we’re producing for.
Approved By: I’ve some notes here suggesting that’s the person who processed the request, who completed the schedule reservation. Should be "Processed By" if the notes are accurate.
Promised By: Now I’m confused… would this be the staff producer? Would this be playback?
Some notes:
dam_contact_type might be fine as a list, not sure.
dam_is_series seems redundant, unless it’s needed for a reason I’m not seeing. I think we hid some fields when it was false, in the previous build.
Runtime fields need to be simplified to reference a list of specified lengths in minutes, and no need for optional manual entry.
The items which reference a person will need to be sorted, and might be ignored for now.
I want to remove the contact info columns since we’re moving to a contact database and ref’ing ids.
We need a place to have a default program number and program number. This would eventually be generated from business logic, for new records.
Seasons need a renewal priority column, to allow for sorting based on the policies we have. Business logic might help update these as we process requests.
