Admin View Workflow/Wireframes (DT)

  • Reviewing current Sufia and needs of PCDM
  • Considers mind of the person using the system with PCDM
  • How does Sufia work? How would I create works
  • Thinks it needs a proper admin interface (Wordpress inspired)
  • Consistent interface for the admin view
  • Making the options, actions, and controls more visible
  • New concept of saving drafts, autosave, trash can
  • Others like the consistent sidebar
  • Contained admin area
  • Tighter workflow for new works and combining some fields
  • Good status message about worked being saved, updated, etc.
  • Are components subworks in this context? Yes
  • We can label items with a default language, but can customize through the yaml file
  • Concept of publish is new to Sufia and means certain things to certain people. Need to address the language
  • Need to establish a smaller set of wireframes for what is in scope and what is for the larger vision
  • These wireframes set us up for more complex workflows
  • editing visibility and share ?
  • Break out visibility and permissions
  • share - select to, type ahead, read/write more can be done with it
  • Question whether we need to have manual "save draft" button with autosave feature. Some argue users need it.
  • Selecting save makes the work available based on the visibility
