Steve, Dustin, Wayne, and I were on the morning meeting. Wayne was working with the guys on some of the changes out in the AWS land stuff. Once I came on this morning, Steve and Dustin jumped off to work on a separate project. Wayne and I talked about some logo and image changes and then some update queries. After that, I did a local database back-up and got ready to uninstall and reinstall some database servers.

Bryan, Molly, and Eric joined the meeting. They were talking a lot about 3rd party solutions and who pays for what. We also talked about some needs for sub inventory. We need API sockets, documentation, more integration models, etc. We even started talking about 3rd party solutions and diverse plug-ins and how to best help that model out. Not all solutions are worthy of spending the time to fully integrate. We want to enjoy working with these other companies.

Molly is looking to expand the searchability and export options for sub inventory. They have done some foot work and worked on a custom export for sub inventory. They would love to bring some of that more into the core process. Currently, a lot of the filtering is done from the parent level down to the subs. We are seeing a need for being able to filter from the subs up to the parents (reverse filtering). We briefly talked about adilas and that we will be doing a new adilas funded round on sub inventory. Currently, we have done 3 full rounds on the sub inventory section. We will be bringing in Alan Williams to help with this project. Before we jump, we are looking for a proposal and/or a plan for going forward.

The conversation started going towards... what is coming up next both with adilas and in general. The landscape keeps changing. What are the priority on the different projects that are coming down the pipeline? Molly was expressing some of her priorities and where the needs are.

Pagination vs grouping - Going back to sub inventory... We need exports and searches on parts, items, sub inventory, parent attributes, sub attributes, etc. To sum it up, we need better reporting on sub inventory and everything that it touches.

Towards the end of the meeting, Steve and Dustin were working on some custom reports and I was working on new install stuff for my local environment.
