UI Issues: Viewing and General Appearance

rybesh edited this page Sep 10, 2014 · 1 revision

Embed Zotero-compatible bibliographic data in pages with citations on them

"Topic node" pages should be more informative

Get rid of tabs on topic pages

Document pages should show notes attached to citations of that document

Inter-note references should be shown on note pages

Note reference sections in notes

"Cite this note" link

Project pages need links to browse all project notes, documents, topics

Change "article" tab to "info"?

Note's content field should be more accurate

**General Appearance **

Homepage:

Add project association to recently edited documents and notes to give user context.

Project pages:

Maybe include some kind of image for how the topics are related (at least links). Right now you have to click on a specific topic and then a link shows up for all the topics.

Notes/Topics

Alert user that there are scans available through an icon or other easy cue. A lot of the “document” tabs only contain citation information, not scans, which researchers might want to know initially.

Make it easily known that there are or are not transcripts. This might could be done by simply having one page with everything for each note and not the tab system.

Add indication for items or topics that don’t have information attached to them yet. Clicking through so many times only to see “there is no article about this yet” is very frustrating.

Make filters on topics less intrusive when looking at documents.

When viewing related notes and queries, make it obvious which collection/project a note belongs to. Same with related documents for topics.

If using tabs, could topics go on a tab?

General Suggestions

Make “all notes” list in the same format as “related Notes & Queries” list (space between entries, note title in larger typeface, etc.)

"Related Documents” tab has no spaces between titles and no indentations for second lines, making items difficult to read. (ex: Susan B. Anthony).

Consistent naming for topics and people (and omission/consolidation of duplicates from various projects) would be desirable.

Blocks of text are a bit chunky, not a lot of white space. See Lorenzo Portet bio -- I tried to get some white space between paragraphs, but the formatting did not carry over when I saved it. Tried using the P button, but it didn’t seem to do anything.

Create better labels for “Uncategorized” topics (Laws,””Places,” “Issues/Topics” something more intuitive.)

Documents should be listed in chronological order and potentially have users be able to sort by date
