[Archivesspace_Users_Group] ui-fix 0.0.4

[Galligan, Patrick]

Unless users have memorized which circle corresponds to a specific subrecord (I find this very unlikely), I don’t really see much use for them myself.

I would support the total number of subrecords being displayed if it doesn’t cost too many resources.

I vote in favor of eliminating the circles.

If it does not require too many system resources, you could provide the number of records inside a circle or parentheses. e.g. "Subjects (26);"  this would actually be more useful than repeating the dots since easier to grasp at a glance.

Hi, Maureen,

Thanks very much for your helpful response.  We would certainly like to hear from others as well  during the next few days leading up to the 3rd quarter release.

Maureen, by “those little boxes on the left navigation…”, do you mean the little circles that appear under each sub-record label when a sub-record of that type is present in the record?  If so, then I would say the cost of those circles (time to render) outweighs their utility (which is to show how many sub-records of that type are included in the overall record and to allow users to jump from an individual circle to the corresponding sub-record).

As for workshops, we have not done anything with these devices other than point out their presence.

Before we decide to remove them, does anybody make use of them?

Hi Chris,

I like that the “1” and “2” pills stay with the two components I’ve selected to move to the end of the list even after I’ve clicked to allow editing on the record — this helps make it much more clear that something wonky has happened (that “2” has been moved to the end of the list but that “1” has been moved to the third-from-last position). I have to wonder — are you thinking that this kind of visual indication is the best that can be done? Is it just not possible for “1” and “2” to be moved to the end of the list where they belong?

I also wonder if the labelling of “1”,”2”, etc. are a little ambiguous. I know what they’re doing, since you explained it to us. Would a better label perhaps be “1st selected”, “2nd selected”, etc?

Also, the click-to-load for links to many subrecords is looking really good. It makes it possible to load records that had failed to load before. Awesome!.

I’m wondering — what do those little boxes on the left navigation really get us? Maybe folks who have taught classes can chime in here, but I’m not sure that users really understand the relationship between the boxes and the numbers of subrecords. And even once they do understand them, I’m not sure that they add much. I noticed that the HM report said that these take time to render — it might be good to shave this off.

Hi everyone,

I've made a few tweaks to the tree ordering process. The process is a little smoother now, since it locks down what a user can do in the edit process, which is making it easier to see where some of the issues are.

The newest version is here :
https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/releases/tag/0.0.4<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__github.com_archivesspace_archivesspace_releases_tag_0.0.4&d=AwMF-g&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=JgH2YCQ8D3P9-Lm_x4bv3d2CZBYlbx6hxnLFHtfovi8&m=-2h5dfTMwgfd9pL1GrIZ0ChnFrWsF9z9UM-o2PZJqLU&s=PLtCkIsOpt84igbi-wfeSeT-6g4_KfnU8u_sweNados&e=>

I've also update the version at http://test.archivesspace.org<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__test.archivesspace.org&d=AwMF-g&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=JgH2YCQ8D3P9-Lm_x4bv3d2CZBYlbx6hxnLFHtfovi8&m=-2h5dfTMwgfd9pL1GrIZ0ChnFrWsF9z9UM-o2PZJqLU&s=1bccrSr7Rod3ueNbHb7CDkwvo4YFN8IKvMVFEJgihe4&e=>, which you can log into and test with the admin/admin login.
