Dev-Pri looked at this ticket on our November meeting and decided to pass it. We think that should also be extended to the staff-side tree for consistency.

Thanks . Adding the title, date, extent, and identifier would be really good DACS practice for this preview view, but I'm unsure if we can get that done right now along with everything else. I'll keep this ticket open, but I think it might be something that we will need to prioritize after the 2.1 release.

For what it's worth, we're planning to do some usability testing of the new interface soon at Yale (and I think that Harvard might be too), so we'll definitely get some feedback about this feature in the next month or so (and I'd love to have a mockup of what you've proposed, so I'll try to figure out if I can mock one of those up for the sake of comparison). Between this, the single scroll view, and the container inventory view, I imagine that there will be lots of small tweaks with the next few releases. That said, I'm already excited by all three of those new features!

, I guess it depends on what we we are trying to do with this. The intention behind the request was just to have the full menu entry visible, which would mean including the date in addition to the title. However, in cases where the full title/date entry is already visible, the tooltip would be redundant. Would a full, ISBD-formatted entry be more useful? Or something in between (excluding notes) like title, dates, extent, identifier (e.g., Portrait of Kelly Conway. – 1938. – 1 photograph : color ; 51 x 41 cm. – UA 5398, Item 2.)?

thanks for giving this one some more thought. i know that i'm in the minority on the tester's group, but i still prefer the single-row height view for this feature (and i worry slightly that more javascript here will make the UX a bit more chaotic, but i've been wrong about that before). anyhow, given the time that it would take to provide a different view, let's put this ticket on the back burner. there are other features to polish up in the next few weeks.

i like the proposed short-term solution, and perhaps that's something we can still squeeze in before the 2.1 release. if so, is there any additional metadata you'd want to display with a mouse over? or is just the title fine, but you would still like a move obvious mouse over? i don't know if this type of example would jump too far off screen given the placement of the collection organization pane, but it's hard to miss the fly out when you hover over the Folders facet here, for example: https://cdr.lib.unc.edu/search?a.setFacetLimit=subject%3a20

Unfortunately, the current implementation relies on a fixed single-row height. This is tied to the refactored-tree work that was completed for v2.0 where large trees are now progressively rendered as not to overwhelm the browser. This framework may be enhanced to support this feature, but after thinking through it, the changes (required for the staff/public/public-new) may eat up the remainder of our short timeline!

Currently, we show the entire title as a tooltip. As a short-term solution, we could expose a more obvious javascript tooltip that could show the complete title and some metadata upon mouse-over?
