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
