  Navigation Team

Alexandra presented work of the group. Navigation team went through the existing JIRAs, categorized them, created some additional, and put information into a Google Docs folder/document.

Focused on background jobs navigation and linked records for this meeting. Created a mini-spec with wireframes.

Advice for creating wireframes: took screenshots and then used Powerpoint to reconfigure/annotate. (Can also use some free tools.)

Some items need input from other groups - for example, on , re: changing Events into a sub-record. Indicated this in the doc. Lot of overlap with other groups, expect that others are finding this as well.

Sara has also started looking at reports, and the Background Jobs area in general. Placement of reports in that area and name itself are some of the issues.

  • More explanation of what a background job is in the application
  • Question of whether individual types of jobs might be listed separately, or at least linked separately
  • Brainstorm some intuitive titles
  • Confusion when job fails
  • When working in an instance with multiple repositories, big background jobs can impact others/create logjams
  • More options of the background jobs page itself?

Discussion of issue


Time-Saving Devices Team

Miloche presented. Group created a Google Docs folder and document. Identifed three issues to start with.

  • Question about sidebar when browsing accession records - want to check about whether anyone using the ordering currently provided, or should there be a unilateral change. Most people prefer a browse by date, but are interested in providing a toggle and ability to manipulate facets.
  • Default repository for login: - JHU has a local workaround - they have default repositories by individual login. Lydia asked that Users Accounts and Permissions group look at this issue as well.

Word doc by screen - will be adding more to this.


JIRA tickets to discuss/pass

- Ticket plus comments seems pretty straightforward. Maryland may have developed a plugin for this relatively recently. Will add to the comments in the ticket re: adding a search bar.

- see above


Question about whether can have more all in one place - discussed what's in Confluence (meeting minutes) vs. what's in Google Docs (working documents). Certainly all final reports will be posted to Confluence. Perhaps emailing meeting minutes to the group after meetings would be helpful, rather than maintaining multiple versions.

Thinking further down the line, how is all of this going to come together into one document? Question of process, begin to think about adding as groups go or waiting until end.

Looking for additional volunteers for the Visual Layout group.
