@Matthew Neely / All

Welcome

Dev Pri will be leading discussion at November UAC meeting

@Keli Schmid

https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-1679

In the interest of accessibility, I recommend passing this request. It seems straightforward and appears to be the last contrast edit needed in the ASpace interface

Pass

@Dillon

https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-1771

Tried to replicate a few times in 3.4.1 and the calculate extents function does not appear to be generating any blank sub records as it did for users in 3.4.0. Suggest reaching out to see if an instance update has resolved their issue.

Couldn’t replicate. Reach out to user to see if this is still an issue.

@Matthew Neely

https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/browse/ANW-1755

Ticket reporting that CSV exports from search results are not exporting all data in column results, specifically identifiers for subjects. Also diacritics not exporting correctly. Succesfully replicated this in the 3.4 test instance. Identifier issue seems to work fine for archival objects and is limited to subjects. Suggest passing but this might be fixed by

Awaiting more information. Resolving ANW-1509 may affect this issue. There is also a potential to expand the scope of this request to other fields that aren’t included in the CSV export.

@Cory Nimer

Feature calls for a loosening of controls on embedding EAD XML in note fields. Doing so could speed data entry for advanced users, but the application might be unable to validate the XML due to the differences in in-line encoding practice between EAD 2002 and EAD3. This may also present challenges for users unfamiliar with EAD tagging. Recommend gathering more information about alternative approaches, such as importing XML snippets or CSV files into the various list subrecords in Resource record notes.

@Brianna McLaughlin

This seems pretty straightforward. When in edit mode on an accession record, there is not a “close record” button like there is on resource records or digital objects. Without a “close record” button, users would have to either click the back button or click the accession title in the breadcrumbs. Recommend passing.

Pass

@Alexander Duryee

Was unclear if scope of ticket was just validation against the ASpace schema, or included XML validation within notes. The ticket was for validating against the internal schema. This seems straightforward to implement and useful for system managers.

Pass and expand scope of ticket to include XML validation
