Collection Admin

  • aligns more with archivist and curator personas

  • roles in general for personas aren't being fully explored because we are just using the personas as a lens to review and develop wireframes

  • research assistant

    • might have some of their own research

    • most likely heavily involved with other people's research

    • proxy function

    • grad student in a lab

    • upload and leave for another person

Configuration

  • ability to turn on and off certain features

  • different workflows and configuration

  • opt in and out

  • sitewide config

Workflow

  • take advantage of PCDM

  • identifying where there are changes between Sufia 6 and Sufia 7

  • perhaps do a walkthrough of PCDM and note what is new and not new

  • 2 workflows - metadata first (work) and upload first (file)

  • new workflows developed by UI Working Group are super important

  • what's the progression through performing actions?

  • wanting the simplest workflow

  • simple, intuitive for both workflows

  • align each step of the working path

  • metadata forms are gigantic

  • give users choice of direction (work versus file)

  • current interface and workflow is very complex, not good for users, packed

  • kind of overwhelming

  • personas and point-of-view do address choices

  • easy, one batch upload without metadata

  • works are created for individual files behind the scenes, doesn't necessarily have to be exposed to user 

  • shouldn't have to fill out a form to upload files

General Thoughts

  • some frustration with the process

  • ultimate goals and deliverables of the group

  • relevance of the recommendations to actual work performed
