iCAP Portal Admin Meeting - July 11, 2025

Posted by Michael McKelvey on July 11, 2025

Agenda

  • Michael's updates
    • Stripped out HTML from ALL project update teasers (homepage, Project pages, Theme pages, Place pages, Collection pages, Key Objective pages)
    • Added expand/collapse to Recommendations listing on Project pages for listings with 4+ items
    • Here are a couple options for differentiating subject lines for iCAP Portal suggestions:
      • Use submission ID, e.g. "iCAP Portal Suggestion (ID #181)" <-- Decided to use ID
      • Use Subject / Project Name field, e.g. "iCAP Portal Suggestion: Campus-wide Solar Panel Installation"

Discussion

  • [Quinn] Project pages for directing users to the many available data sources on the iCAP portal (e.g. Public Data for Independent Research)
    • Discussed pros & cons of Basic Page vs. Project vs. another approach
    • This could be part of a larger Getting Started section to provide guidance to new visitors
    • Decided to leave this page as a Project for now; may revisit in the future
  • For next meeting:
    • Discuss metric naming convention (see Discussion about Metrics - May 19, 2025)
    • Finalize plans for removing national research programs from Projects listing
    • Discuss 2025 Objectives dashboard (add in September, start displaying in October) - see "Adding Key Objectives" private file under Sustainability iCAP Portal project
    • New iCAP Team (Sustainable Buildings) being formed - discuss what that looks like on the iCAP Portal

TODOs

  • ✅ Replace map link on homepage with link to "Resources for Independent Research" or "We've got data!"
  • ✅ Update suggestion email subject line
  • ✅ Find out if we can add administrative field to mark who responded to a Suggestion
