Discussion items

1. Implementers topics | Cross-app: UX/UI
   1. Enhancements to the UI for Inventory/Quick Marc: UI Enhancement list - status of 2023 (Nolana) | Natascha Owens 

Minutes

• Enhancements can be raised by everyone
• not a lot of discussion in MM so far
• looking whether there are already solutions in other apps that could be used
• looking for cases where other apps have the same need and issues can be processed to UX/UI developers for general solutions
• 1st line in table: looks like a bug → create a ticket → Martina Schildt 
  
  • "public" checkbox is not displayed in display mode
  • chronology does not display
• Receiving history in Inventory - re-discuss in ACQ
  • "public" checkbox should be added to Receiving
  • Kristin Martin will add to ACQ implementers list
• general rules:
  • edit and display mode should display the same information
  • Owen in chat: I think another generalisable rule might be that where possible MCLs should offer the user to control which columns display - unless there is a clear reason not to (i.e. default should be user controllable display for MCL)
• 2nd line in table
  • missing feature: sorting or rank field is not exposed 
  • users would like to move feilds up and done as in QuickMarc
  • it is soting chronology based on creation date
  • user would like the ability to control that order
  • Kimberly in chat: I can see lots of places where reordering would be helpful. Invoice lines. Order lines.
  • Owen in chat: I agree Kimberly, but I’m having difficulty in knowing what the general principle might be. FWIW we’ve also had similar requests in ERM apps
  • in QuickMarc sorting works up and down arrows
  • in Dashboard there is a drag and drop solution
  • move holdings and items has a drag and drop as well
  • and we also need to consider accessibility
  • Owen in chat: In quickMARC you can at least use tab to hightligh the up/down arrow then press enter repeatedly to move the field the right places; Navigating the quickMARC by keyboard seems pretty nice to me even without lots of additional shortcuts
  • Martina Schildt will arrange a meeting with UX/UI designers (Kimie, Gill) on sorting
• 3rd line in table
  • pattern for only "save"
• Continue discussion on June 5th and 14th
• Question TBD: How can we best share alingments with POs and developers
