Report on testing & questions

Dana
Bin
Mark

  • Dominguez Hills

    • Control over fields

      • How date fields should be formatted?

      • No drop-downs for certain controlled fields

        • Degree level

      • To Metadata task force

    • Batch uploading process

      • Not obvious how this works

        • Dana will write-up documentation on this

        • Only allows audio-visual format type

      • Would like one that works more like DSpace today

        • Dominguez Hills has developed workaround

    • Department field

      • Shows up in lower case on the public side

  • Fullerton

    • Preliminary testing so far, not uploaded yet

    • Inviting some others to do more testing after end of semester

    • New OER librarian coming on board soon

    • Date

      • Nice to have a calendar or something

    • Department list

      • Kevin will double-check to make sure this has been added to

    • Cannot add ETDs

      • Kevin and David will check

    • Where to put institutional documents (academic senate, syllabi)?

      • Implementation Team

    • User role management?

      • In production, anyone who authenticates gets shunted into groups

        • Campus group set

        • Other groups based on attributes

        • Still getting campuses on-board with authentication

      • We will need to go over this once we finalize a few things

  • Sacramento

    • Data migration

      • Required fields in form does not impact this

      • Existing fields in DSpace should be mapped correctly to the fields in Hyrax

      • Data review phase should address this

      • Embargoes would be set to private

    • Batch-upload

      • Always shunts you into an ETD model

      • Add New Works by Batch options:

        1. Each file will be uploaded to a separate new work resulting in one work per uploaded file.

        2. To create a single work for all the files, go to Add New Work

        3. You can add one or more files to associate with this work. - False; batch uploading creates a separate record for each file

        • The first and third statements seem to contradict each other. The form creates a separate record for each file.

    • Review works submitted by users

      • No option to edit metadata, either in review or afterward

Future steps
