iCAP Portal Admin Meeting - May 9, 2025

Posted by Michael McKelvey on April 17, 2025

Agenda

  • Michael's updates
    • Recommendation page: added a Files column which shows any files associated with each Recommendation Update (e.g. ECONS004 Green Labs Coordinator)
    • SSC Projects:
      • Added column click sorting to SSC Projects table
      • Added ability to add/edit description to SSC Projects listing page
    • Metrics fixes:
      • Metric: Bicycle Registration in Project 529 system: Karina Jang had tried to restore a past Metric revision, which didn't work well and clobbered a few records. We reviewed the data and restored the broken/missing records. I have disabled restoring revisions for now. iCAP Admins and Moderators can view revisions, but cannot restore them. While it may typically work for basic content like text fields, it doesn't seem to work well for connected content like tracking records.
      • Metric: Total Purchased Clean Power: Somehow 2 empty records were created when Zach Bromberg updated this metric. I have made the Value and Date fields required, which should help avoid that in the future.
    • Showing Recommendations & Recommendation Updates on Project pages:
      • Initial version of how this could work available on live site (only visible when logged in):
        • Added Associated Recommendation(s) section in main column
        • List each associated recommendation w/its current status
        • Under each recommendation, show table of its related recommendation updates
      • You can find Project pages with associated Recommendations by visiting a Recommendation (All Recommendations) and clicking on its associated Projects.
      • Example pages:
      • Thoughts? For projects with a lot of recommendation updates, it gets a bit busy...
  • Discussion of how to handle projects with large numbers of metrics (see notes from Sarthak & Michael's discussion)

Discussion

  • Recommendations on project pages
    • Will have a side channel meeting to discuss how best to cross reference iCAP Projects and Recommendations
  • Discussion of how to handle projects with large numbers of metrics
    • Need better way to display metrics with large numbers of tracking records
      • Michael will return to investigating switching charting systems
    • Need to be able to combine multiple metrics on a single graph
      • Michael had previously started work on this; can resurrect and continue it
      • Will have a side channel meeting to discuss needs in more depth

TODOs

  • Various follow-up side channel meetings between monthly meetings.
