Current situation or problem: The function to change the locale of the user interface is buried in the Settings app and contains a long list of locales that are not used for a tenant. In scope
Out of scope
Use case(s) As a tenant administrator, I want to:
As a FOLIO Stripes user, I want to:
Proposed solution/stories: KnowledgeWare has developed the user-defined locale switcher widget to meet the use cases above.
Username: kware_test Password: kware_test Preferred Locale: English As a tenant administrator, go to the “Settings → Tenant → Language and localization” screen to display all locales available in the tenant, put checkboxes next to locales that become the “pre-defined locale list”, and select the default date format for each selected locale. As a FOLIO Stripes user, go to "My profile → Language" screen to add your preferred languages out of the pre-defined locales available for the tenant As described by Filip in

Peter Murray Filip's suggestion in UX-400, topic 2, option A, suggests a “popover app” in the popover app section next to the full-screen app section. We have accomplished this via the theme switcher proposed as a PoC demonstrated in Kware's FOLIO test environment (see URL above). As a tenant administrator, go to the “Settings → Tenant → Themes Switcher” screen to display all themes available in the tenant. We currently have two themes available: FOLIO standard theme and Kware theme. Select "FOLIO standard theme" then save, and you will get the popover app for the user-level locale switcher like this:
For those service providers who believe that it is critical to provide an experience that will make FOLIO libraries and their staff feel ownership of the system, we are introducing the "Identity bar" via Kware theme. Go to “Settings → Tenant → Themes Switcher” screen, select "Kware theme" and save, and you will get the "identity bar" on top of the apps nav bar, like this: The identity bar has been added on top of the apps nav bar to represent the library identity (Library Logo, User name and Photo, Circulation desk name, User-level Locale Switcher, Today date when the full-screen mode is enabled). In case a user feels that the new identity bar is consuming unnecessary screen real estate, he/she can pick one the following options:
We think with this implementation we have satisfied both needs, saving space for functional elements on the screen and providing system ownership via the identity bar. |
