Discussion about SSC projects in iCAP Portal - May 3, 2024
Miriam Keep, Codie Sterner, and Michael McKelvey met to discuss progress on embedding projects from the iCAP Portal on the SSC website.
Discussion
- Michael's questions:
- Ok to move SSC Projects to full-blown content type?
- Entering funding details options:
- Enter details for each status (Requested, Approved, Allocated, Spent, Relinquished)?
- Pros: can enter very detailed info which could be useful for complicated situations
- Cons: more laborious to enter
- Enter broader details directly into SSC Project record in a single field for each status (less detail allowed, simpler
- Pros: much simpler to enter
- Cons: cannot enter very detailed info; may lose ability to represent multiple funding sources for a project (depending on setup)
- Enter details for each status (Requested, Approved, Allocated, Spent, Relinquished)?
- Do SSC Projects ever have multiple funding sources in a single semester?
- What's the "Other" funding source? (see 2009-2010)
- Combine Semester and Year into one field? Or leave separate?
- Sheri: can we automate entry of data?
- Michael: this might be possible, we can look into this in the future
Decisions
- SSC Project full-blown content type is a go!
- Prefer option to enter detailed funding info
- Can ignore "Other" funding source, it was used to trick Tableau into displaying funding info correctly
- Leave Semester and Year separate
Timeline
- Meet next week for final discussions
- Have students start to enter information in the following weeks
TODOs
- SSC Projects:
- ✔️ Add Image Gallery
- ✔️ Show Image Gallery in main section
- ✔️ Move map to sidebar
- ✔️ Use Featured Image from SSC Project rather than associated iCAP Portal Project
- ✔️ Add Award Expiration date field
- ✔️ Merge Active and Closed into SSC Project Status field (Active, Closed)
- Embed:
- ✔️ Change Project Category to text instead of icon
- ✔️ Show Semester filter only if Year selected (lower priority, can wait until other changes are done)
