iCAP Portal Admin Meeting - June 30, 2023

Posted by Michael McKelvey on June 16, 2023

Done:

  • Demo map (Test site): filter by Collections and Themes (WIP), filters overlay map, map shown full-screen

Discussion:

  • Discussed various map-related ideas. See TODOs section for some of the outcomes.
  • Continue discussion of Fancy Page Layout (see the 4 mockups in the October 21, 2022 meeting notes)
  • Continue discussion of improving site's aesthetics
  • Question about a TODO: "Collections page: Add image upload option". At a previous meeting we had this TODO, but what was the context? Was it to have a thumbnail for each Collection? Or a banner image?
  • Should we link to "Take Action" project from homepage?
    • Replace map link in Highlights?
    • Need to finish Take Action page content
  • Archiving projects
    • Add "Archived" checkbox?
    • Add "Archived" to Visibility options?
    • Add "Archived" to Project Status options? (probably not - this mixes the status of the project itself with whether we still want it to show up on the site)
    • Remove from nested listings, still publicly available?

TODO:

  • Main map:
    • Start with only Campus Tour locations shown (for now, start with Reporting Progress theme)
    • Filter by Theme or Collection
    • See CSU's campus map (Sustainability section) for inspiration
    • Smaller markers
    • Remove businesses layer
    • Campus boundary, like ArcGIS Bicycle Map
  • LEED Certification project's sub-project cards show Mechanical Engineering Building: LEED Gold twice (page 1 and page 5)
  • Loading message on page unload shows up sometimes in browser page history (e.g. view iCAP Portal PDF from About page, then click "back") and also when downloading files (e.g. downloading tracking data on Metric: Bicycle Counts at Armory and Sixth or PDFs on other pages)
  • Homepage has extra padding on right side on mobile
  • SSC project embedding: add category filtering options
  • (long term goal) look into importing information from another source, e.g. SSC students without iCAP Portal access can put together info in a structured format for automatic import into iCAP Portal
  • Look into Collection embedding again, à la Drawdown Solutions Library Sammy had found ("Filter by sector or area of action" section)
  • Metric search/display:
    • Theme (via connected Project, i.e. Theme -> Project -> Metric)
    • Most recent updates as of: (list of years) -> can we query Tracking data?
    • (Internal only) Last updated before (list of years) -> can we query Tracking data?
  • (Low Priority) Make column headers click-sortable on Projects by Project Status page
  • Fancy project layout mockups - keep tweaking #3 to improve contrast
  • Discuss metrics
    • Metrics with lots of data
    • Consider how to handle old metrics that no longer track new data. Archive somehow?
    • Fun with math (e.g. combining multiple metrics)
    • Calculated Metrics on Dev site
