Agenda

• Michael's updates
  • Archived projects:
    • Added link to Archived Projects on Projects page
    • Hid archived projects from Theme page hierarchical listings
    • Left archived projects in Project Family sidebar section, for now - may revisit that decision in the future
  • Removed Project Status from hierarchical listing on theme pages and full project hierarchy listing
  • Expand/Collapse buttons added to Project Updates listings. See examples:
    • All Project Updates
    • Project Updates search results
    • Project Updates for collection: Monarch Butterfly projects
    • Projects Updates for Sustainability iCAP Portal
    • Projects Updates for key objective: 2.1 Energy Planning Document
    • Projects Updates for theme: Education
    • Projects Updates for place: Campus Instructional Facility
  • SSC Project embed code is working on SSC site!
  • Resolved an issue with some information connected to Projects (locations, funding info) and Metrics (targets, tracking) losing their connections to those projects.
    • Information still in database, so I was able to restore connections
    • It took some careful and tedious effort to track this down and restore the connections.
• Google Analytics numbers drop
  • Steeper than others have experienced
  • Probably some combination of less traffic and old analytics possibly not excluding bots/crawlers as effectively
• Discussion of how to handle projects with large numbers of metrics (see notes from Sarthak & Michael's discussion)

Discussion

• Morgan went through full list of projects to find ones to archive
  • Need to have a larger conversation about what archiving does at some point
• Morgan's intern Zach is doing a couple things:
  • Filling in recent years of campus water data
  • Looking for duplicate metrics
  • Will mark duplicate metrics as duplicate, then work with Michael on deleting them
• Linking SSC Projects to iCAP Portal projects
  • Quinn and Helen working on making sure all connections between SSC Projects and iCAP Portal projects are included
  • What to do about SSC Projects without an existing iCAP Portal project?
  • Quinn: 70-80% of SSC Projects have a direct or indirect connection to an iCAP Portal project; a few are really hard to find a connection
  • Morgan: every SSC Project should be connected to an iCAP Portal project. Quinn will keep working on connections, then this summer we can figure out what to do about the outliers
  • Would be helpful to add column sorting to SSC Projects table
  • SSC Projects listing goes back to 2008; aren't there projects from earlier than 2008?
    • That's all Helen had access to in SSC's master spreadsheet
    • Didn't include cancelled projects
    • Morgan will look for info about projects before 2008
    • Sheri may also have info about those projects
    • Some info about older SSC projects may be available in Project Updates (e.g. Projects Updates for Wind Turbine Generator(s) on South Farms)
• Recommendations:
  • Morgan will have a student work on adding Recommendations
  • Once they're complete, we should remove the manually maintained recommendation links in Projects
  • Next step: show Recommendations & Recommendation Updates on Project pages; Michael will work on a draft version to share
• Going through project hierarchy: adding/updating information to descriptions for Header projects
• Google Analytics numbers drop
• Discussion of how to handle projects with large numbers of metrics

TODOs

• SSC Projects:
  • Add column click sorting to SSC Projects table
  • Add ability to add/edit description to SSC Projects listing page
• Show Recommendations & Recommendation Updates on Project pages
• Investigate Google Analytics for April 3 - large spike in visits/users
• Investigate how to hide Project Status from certain projects which aren't actually projects - they're meant to act as parents for other projects (remaining from last meeting)
  • e.g. add a "Header" Project Status which hides the status
