iCAP Portal Admin Meeting - March 8, 2024

Posted by Michael McKelvey on March 6, 2024

Agenda

  • Homemade caramels!
  • Update: Miriam Keep, Sarthak Prasad, Christina Tran, and Michael McKelvey met to discuss a proposed structure for updating iCAP recommendations: Discussion about updating iCAP recommendations - February 21, 2024
  • Lots of back-end updates/upgrades over the past couple weeks - Michael's been testing and retesting to try to catch any incompatibilities with the new updates, and so far things are looking good. Let him know if you encounter any issues!
    • One update of note: the module that creates automatic redirects when titles change has gotten smarter, so those infinite loops should be a thing of the past!
  • Google Analytics reporting

Discussion/Decisions:

  • Project Updates:
    • Add field "To Do Item(s)" at top of Tasks section
      • Show field in Pending Tasks listing?
      • Q: who should be able to view the content of this field? Other task-related fields are restricted to iCAP Admins & iCAP Moderators, but if you want to assign a task to a non-admin or non-moderator, they'll need to be able to view this task field (and the other fields) in order to view the task. Should we expand the scope of who can view task-related fields? At least add iCAP Clerks, or perhaps even all logged in users?
    • Q: Also add field for tagging iCAP Portal user(s) as responsible party for tracking tasks and updating when they're completed? (note: separate from "Assigned To" field which allows free editing and doesn't associate with user accounts
      • What should this field be called?
      • Should it allow multiple people to be entered?
      • Add a My Tasks page where logged in users can view all tasks assigned to them. Also show tasks they've assigned?
      • Started work on this on test site: Michael's test task
  • Pending Tasks list:
    • ✔️Change Title column to "Project Update"
  • Recommendations:
    • May not need to allow a Project to "subscribe" to Recommendations:
      • Recommendation has associated Project (allow multiple, but typically only enter one)
      • Project page shows all Recommendations pointing to this project (possibly instead of a project being able to "subscribe" to recommendations)
      • iWG project: instead of showing all the recommendations, provide a link to the page showing the recommendations
    • Recommendation add/edit form could be used to receive suggestions for new recommendations
    • Need to discuss further - Morgan, Miriam, and Michael will meet next week to discuss & diagram out on a whiteboard
