  • Please let Lori know if you are willing to serve as co-chair.

Usability Team recap/ presentation at ArchivesSpace Users Forum

  • Lori will send out details in an email

Collection Organization view project

  • How can we keep momentum going on this project?

  • Number of survey respondents continues to increase

  • We will continue to monitor and record comments on report and survey responses

  • Will begin collecting candidates for plugins and customizations to incorporate into core code to facilitate report’s recommendations

Moving forward

  • Continue to work intensively on single projects or move back to taking tickets as they are routed from Dev Pri?

  • May go back to taking individual tickets and will collect similar tickets to inform any future projects.

Tickets referred by Dev Pri during last meeting

ANW-1055: Inconsistencies in which finding aid data fields are displayed to end usersAwaiting More Information

  • Need more information - Send to Usability (request feedback from community).

ANW-977: As an archivist, I would like the ability to batch publish/unpublish selected archival objects in a given resource recordClosed-Complete

  • Recommendation: Community development /Send to Usability
    Possibly add mode similar to "Enable Reorder Mode" to incorporate a "publish selected" option.

ANW-932: Ability to customize controlled value lists for different repositoriesReady for Implementation

  • Recommend increasing the priority to critical and passing for ready for implementation. While I strongly support eliminating the “Additional Description” category, that would have a major impact on other views, so until then, making the notes display would be sufficient. Waiting on Usability project.
