Talk:Pattern Library/eSciDoc Application Layout

This is a protected page.

First issues found in R4.00 (Main Test with FF3)

Start Page

Improvements

• zooming in: not really proper, the page must be scrolled horizontally

Browse + Display (Lists)

Bugs

• Select all: after the request all check boxes vanished (Seems to be Logic???)
• Message line missing

Improvements

• Paginator and Go to not in sync (after entering a number in GoTo, Paginator stays the same)
• Result from Organizations search/Show description/Page jumps to options menu and then descriptions opens (looks strange)
• No Results without list components (Message only)
• Message box: Margin top too small
• Dropdown 'Items per page' Wording too long (25 Items/Page)
• Basket/Wording: Delete selected -> Remove selected
• the message after error should not ask for sending an email, simply short apology
• change of sorting/filter criteria may not be intuitive for users (as it is at present)
• check how big systems do, e.g. check eBay

Changes

• Basket/Checkboxes should be deactivated by default.
• Paginator logic different from concept (current page not in the middle) (for many items: browse by orgs/department research & development)
• Icons deactivated too dark

Menus

Changes

• Sorting Button too big *List Bibl./Table Header/More Icon jumps on hover

Comfort Features

Bugs

• actually made 2-3 entries and always got a problem by omiting the pull-down list entries (accidentally)

Improvements (or feedback)

• Dropdowns/ Margins of Labels and Fields too small
• pulldown lists are not well solved (i.e. select author role, select genre, select source genre, select content category, ..)
• not visible that I need to actually do a selection
• a lot of lines and not clear fields boundaries (impression by dev)
• font in the entry fields is really bad  :) and small
• Autosuggest:I have to click twice to remove the list window after i selected a value
  • if i click once, the value is populated in the list, but the pull-down window with other values from selection is not removed

Note: the current dev version does not have this bug, so it is resolved.--Natasa 12:23, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

Collection selection

Improvements

• It would be nice to have at least one line of words providing the collection description, and use more/hide description (for extra details)
• when description is opened, the label "Description" can simply be removed (it is clear what it is) and the text can be better aligned left under the collection name

Submission

Bugs

• Add multiple authors: (Blank before Author name -> Logic)
• Submission- Import: After selecting an importsource and providing an identifier the button should not be labeled 'save', but next or something like that

Improvements

• Easy Submission should be first entry in list
• Keypad support (Enter bei dropdowns)
• Dropdowns/Keypad support/Page scrolls when browsing the options with key up/down
• we have on top links to Even, Details, Source sections etc., in each of this section actually would be good to also have "link to top"
• First step of submission where forms are selected: It would be nice to have at least one line of words explaining the submission method name, and use more/hide description (for extra details)
• when description is opened, the label "Description" can simply be removed (it is clear what it is) and the text can be better aligned left under the submission method name

View Item Version

Bugs

• authors are not populated on View Item page

Improvements

• not really clear that I have to click on the link to view the full item (would be nice to have some pointer for users here)
• very unclear what is label, what is value and indeed too much lines

Search

• Advanced search date TO: not writing in label, populate the field by default with current date in a correct format
• advanced search: check-all box

Export

• Basket takes doublettes?
