Notes

  • questions surrounding the ability to edit in context of the show page
    • agreement on not editing directly within the context of a show page
    • questions around hyperlinks within content that take a user directly to a particluar editing workflow; for example edit description takes the user right to the description in the edit view 
    • some people feel that just an "edit" link or button is enough to keep the user interface cleaner. keep editing in edit
      • perhaps have actions in one location
  • reorganizing the user interface elements for sorting, display, and search
    • perhaps search only appears when there is X number of records being displayed
    • instead of the default sorting which comes from Blacklight and Sufia use column sorting instead
    • what does the search search for? title? contents? 
    • design for typical use cases
    • make it configurable
    • views are overridable
