Notes

Work Show Pages - Final Final Review

We compared a version of the wireframes incorporating dt's suggested changes with the existing wireframe representation.  The following are the areas discussed with our recommendation of the changes to make/accept.

wireframe with changes

 

  • section:  
    • move Items label to a gray collapse/expand bar
    • Items section expanded by default
    • all other sections collapsed by default
  • widgets: 
    • add sort to widgets  (default include sort by:  label, type, upload date, modify date) - ascending | descending 
      • for 7.0 hardcode list; for 7.1 consider configuring sort options
    • remove (info) show/hide icons and move them to be show all metadata | hide all metadata links just above the list
    • remove selection list with show all, show works only, show files only NOTE: handle this by sorting by type.  Reverse sorting by type will group Works together near the top of the list
  • table: 
    • remove column labels  NOTE: requires sort selection list by other widgets
    • remove type and date columns  (maybe move, see item details)
  • item details:
    • move Type under title
    • should dates also be under title?
    • for 7.0 hardcode to type and possibly dates; for 7.1 consider configuring which fields to display under title
  • actions:  
    • reorder icons to:   preview, download, stats  (and right justify)
    • remove (info) metadata icon and add as link in bottom-right corner (link text:  show metadata or hide metadata depending on display state of metadata for that item)
    • remove green from download icon
  • edge cases:  
    • when 0 items, should Items section appear at all?  (could be confusing for users if it is on some pages and not others)
      • for 7.0, Items section will be expanded and have statement "No items in this work."; revisit in 7.1
    • should other collapsible sections be hidden if they don't have any content?
      • for 7.0, other sections will be collapsed and have statement "No ____ in this work."; revisit in 7.1

 

ACTION: If the group accepts the recommendations, all the wireframes need to be updated to match.

ACTION:  Enter github issues for Show Work page.

 

User Testing

Sonya volunteered to spear head development of a set of user tests.  It is recommended that 3 institutions will perform the same set of user tests.  If they all come back with the same results, then we can have a high degree of confidence that the results are not institution specific and will apply to the broader community.  If they come back really different, then we may need to revisit.
