iCAP Portal Admin Meeting - July 3, 2024
Posted by Michael McKelvey on June 11, 2024
Agenda
- Apologies for slowness on the iCAP Portal recently - it's fixed now!
- SSC Projects
- Discussions since our last meeting: Discussion about SSC projects in iCAP Portal - June 11, 2024 (Codie, Michael)
- Codie built out the initial set of SSC Projects for Spring 2023
- SSC Project embedding for the live site will be ready for testing soon - still ironing out a few things before it's ready for production
- Question about avoiding document plagiarism: do we have concerns about providing documents that people can download, edit, and try to pass off as legitimate?
- Places:
- Fixed a couple Places stuck on Null Island
- Improved All Places listing and added All Places (Map)
- Fixed an issue that caused geocoding not to work
- New Places: enter an address and save - it will automatically get geocoded.
- Existing Places: select the "Re geocode" checkbox and save to force geo-coding
- Bike Fee Funding
- Discussion since our last meeting: Discussion about reporting Bike Fee funding - June 12, 2024 (Sarthak, Michael)
- Decided not to try to add Bike Fee funding to iCAP Portal at this time - instead, upload an Excel file with the data. That will likely give users a more useful way to view the funding data.
- Archiving projects:
- What happens to Project Updates associated with an archived project? What should happen?
- If one or more active projects are still associated with a Project Update, the Project Update should be visible
- If no active projects (either 0 projects or only archived projects) are associated with a Project Update, should the Project Update be visible? It's much easier not to hide Project Updates in this situation, so hopefully the answer is 'yes' :-)
- What happens to Project Updates associated with an archived project? What should happen?
Discussion/Decisions
- Document plagiarism:
- The group agreed that if we're going to share documents, there's not much we can do to prevent plagiarism.
- Only people with certain iCAP Portal permissions can change the official documents on the website, so we're not worried about the official public record - all a malicious user can do is edit a file on their own computer and try to pass it off as legitimate.
- Sharing documents as images would have accessibility concerns
- Trying to share documents as view-only would provide minimal protection; it would only require slightly more manual labor to recreate a letterhead than to download and edit an existing document
- Archiving projects:
- Using the Published checkbox is probably not the right solution, since we want to allow Archived projects to be publicly visible, just not by default in certain listings
- Investigate another approach, possibly more like the Public/Private option already in use
- Bike Fee:
- Morgan advocates for sharing the Bike Fee info directly on the iCAP Portal rather than a simple Excel file
- We can probably share Bike Fee info at a much broader level than we were thinking, so it's not too onerous to enter
TODOs
- SSC Projects:
- Finish SSC Project embed
- Allow more than 3 photos to be seen - e.g. link to separate image gallery page like iCAP Portal Projects?
