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.
- 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 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
- add sort to widgets (default include sort by: label, type, upload date, modify date) - ascending | descending
- 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 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
- when 0 items, should Items section appear at all? (could be confusing for users if it is on some pages and not others)
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.
