Search tips:
- This form will search for words in the title OR the description. If you would like to search for the same term(s) across both the title and description, enter the same search term(s) in both fields.
- This form will search for any of the words you enter in a field, not the exact phrase you enter. If you would like to search for an exact phrase, put double quotes (") around the phrase. For example, if you search for Bike Path you will get results containing either the word Bike OR the word Path, but if you search for "Bike Path" you will get results containing the exact phrase Bike Path.

The numbers:
Visitors: 13
Sales: $465.50
Bikes (refurb): 1 for $190

Coordinator -- Campus Bike CenteriCAP Portal Admin Meeting - August 9, 2024
Associated Project(s):Agenda
- Permissions fix for items marked Private (for all Private items, see this listing: Content filtered by visibility: Private)
- Quinn reported that iCAP Moderators had lost View access to items marked Private
- This likely happened during a module update Michael made a few months ago
- It has been fixed; let Michael know if any other permissions appear to be incorrect!
- Archiving projects (see last week's discussion):
- Show archival status as part of project title (e.g. Sustainability iCAP Portal [ARCHIVED])
- " [ARCHIVED]" automatically appended to title for Archived projects
- " [ARCHIVED]" automatically removed from Active projects
- Hid archived projects from Sub-Projects listing
- e.g. Sustainability iCAP Portal [ARCHIVED]: "Test Project with TAC" not listed as Sub-Project
- Hid archived projects from Related Projects listing
- e.g. Education iCAP Team: "Sustainability iCAP Portal" not listed as Related Project
- Show archival status as part of project title (e.g. Sustainability iCAP Portal [ARCHIVED])
Discussion
- Archiving projects:
- How do we feel about directly editing the title rather than appending a tag, like we do with Project Status?
- Pros:
- Archival status impossible to ignore - it always appears without Michael having to explicitly include it in a particular display
- Cons:
- Archival status always appears as part of the title - would there be times we want to display the title without the archival status?
- Would we like the archival status to display differently, like the Project Status?
- Decision: the group liked inserting the archival status directly into the project's title. We do not foresee problems with this approach down the road.
- Pros:
- How do we feel about hiding the archived projects from Sub-projects and Related Projects listings?
- Cleans up the listings from archived projects
- Makes it harder to find archived projects in the hierarchy
- Decision: this look good for now; we can revisit later if needed
- How do we feel about directly editing the title rather than appending a tag, like we do with Project Status?
- Bike Fee funding
- Morgan, Sarthak, Michael, and Stacey DeLorenzo will meet to discuss further
- SSC Projects
- SSC Projects management transferring from Codie to Sheri
- Students will continue adding SSC Projects in earnest in the coming weeks
- Finding items created by a specific person:
- Find the person's profile page
- Click the "Track" link to see all items they've created (won't show things they've updated that were created by someone else)
- Morgan: after porting info to SSC Projects, what will happen to the iCAP Portal projects which existed solely to capture SSC funding info?
- Will handle on a case-by-case basis, but most will likely be archived
- SSC Project reports before 2012
- SSC did not require reports on recipients' use of funds before about 2012
- Some groups did proactively provide reports; may reach out to other groups to inquire whether they have reports to share
- Morgan collected all the older reports she could find and shared them in Box
- Other reports may have been uploaded to the iCAP Portal; some sleuthing may be required to find them, e.g.:
- Search Project Updates for 'ssc'
- Search Files for 'ssc', sorted by upload date (oldest first)
- Or try searching the above listings by key terms for specific projects
TODOs
- Michael:
- Implement archival feature on live site (email iCAP Portal mailing list when ready since next meeting is a month away)
- Finish SSC Project embed
- Allow more than 3 photos to be seen on SSC Projects - e.g. link to separate image gallery page like iCAP Portal Projects?
- Permissions fix for items marked Private (for all Private items, see this listing: Content filtered by visibility: Private)

iCAP Portal Admin Meeting - July 22, 2024
Associated Project(s):Agenda
- SSC interns starting to enter SSC Projects
- iCAP Teams starting to use Pending Tasks
Discussion
- Archiving projects
- Example using a "Record Status" field with "Active" and "Archived" options
- Archived Projects [DEV2] - note "Test project with TAC" shows in this listing
- Project Listing [DEV2] - note "Test project with TAC" absent from this listing
- Project Hierarchy [DEV2] - note "Test project with TAC" absent from this listing
- Main Map [DEV2] - note "Test project with TAC" not at MSTE location
- Projects by Project Status [DEV2] - added "Active/Archived" filter
- Place: MSTE [DEV2] - note "Test project with TAC" not listed
- Questions:
- How to display archived projects on associated Project Update & Metric pages:
- Show project name w/o link? - No, we want people to still be able to reach archived information
- Show a second listing of "Associated Archived Projects"? - No
- ✔️ Show archival status next to linked project name?
- Should we hide archived projects from being listed in other projects' Child/Related Project listings?
- Yes, for now. We can find a way to make that information available later on if desired.
- How to display archived projects on associated Project Update & Metric pages:
- Thoughts:
- Include "[ARCHIVED]" status in project title most places it's listed
- Should remove project from most listings to keep information up-to-date, but keep it listed when tied to specific other information, e.g. Project Updates and Metrics (may want to demote it in Metrics may collect many associated archived projects over time)
- Example using a "Record Status" field with "Active" and "Archived" options
- Revisit Bike Fee funding discussion - Morgan recommends sharing broad funding details
TODOs
- Michael will keep working on the archived projects feature to show in more depth at next meeting
- Next meeting needs to be rescheduled; Quinn is on it!
