Show Pages - Mike T. to work on once finalized
Thumbnails
user expect thumbnails
okay to punt and just use the default behavior
selecting and setting thumbnails came late to the discussion and may require a lot of developer time
some concern with using the thumbnail in the item list also as a control for setting the thumbnail for the work
take the thumbnail out of the form for add new and edit work
first in the work becomes the thumbnail
visual representation about the work
Display label and resource type
resource typein the context of the work is not the mime type. not like when you drop files into the interface
resource type is applied at the work level
some need to draw a disnction betwen the content type versus the resource type for the work
for example, image cannot also be a report
each site can setup their own resource types. customizable
will we see many nested works? Maybe the librarians will create nested works but most of the other personas will not have heavy nesting
Are label and resource type part of the fileset? Label is but resource type is not
current easier to add metadata than to remove metadata. wish it was easier to remove metadata, too
ability to remove some default metadata fields coming soon
Show or item pages
Adding hyperlinks to precise points in the editing of a work, for example "add files" link near "Items" heading or "edit descriptions" link near work title
just have an edit button under actions
too many pathways with all of the edit links in the interface
users might be uncertain what to do
some users may think that small editing text means that they can edit directly in place
show page seems overwhelming with that much complex ability to edit
if people have already uploaded objects they should be somewhat familiar with the tabs and the editing of a work
test assumptions. test the upload first and then the show page for edits
one edit button, less interface
Do not show empty fields or headings, for example if a work is not in other works or collections do not show headings with text underneath that says that it is empty. just don't be there unless there is content
there shouldn't be much of a difference between logged in users and non-logged in users when it comes to the show page
more consistent views
leaner show page
Discussion around balancing the page and visual hierarchy
thumbnail beside title?
put more of the information about the work on the left-hand side
put thumbnail on the right-hand side
make it easier to look at and consume the information about the work
proposed new change for prominence and clarity
top row
title, abstract, metadata go in the left-hand side
title, abstract, metadata wrap around thumbnail in right hand side
how do we handle the actions underneath
bottom row
collections, works, etc in left column
title and actions in right column
how do we handle download?
download the entire work? (Sonya has experience with this NOT working out so well)
