Hi Erin Nettifee
I saw this in PC notes from yesterday. I still feel like this is more important than P4, especially as larger organizations try to manage their locations.
Here's a thought, but I don't know if it would work in the context of the Settings pages. When a user first clicks the Location settings, they get a grid with 9 columns, for the name and code for each of the 4 levels plus status - basically a dynamic spreadsheet, sortable on all of the columns. They see all names and codes at once. If they need to find something, they can do ctrl-f and find it on the page, no matter how many or at what level of the hierarchy.
For any particular cell, the value is a hotlink. When the user clicks that hotlink
- If they have view-only permission, they see the details for that value
- if they have edit permissions, they see and can edit the details for that value
- Each value has a little record, instead of a row, like now
- Name
- Code
- Created
- Updated
- What values does this one belong to higher in the hierarchy
- Status
- How many values are below this one in the hierarchy
- e.g. for Campuses, which Institution does it belong to, and how many Libraries and Locations are under it
There's a Action menu at the top of the list that allows for
- creating a new value
- maybe exporting the whole list
