Work Completed

• Medici
  • Resolved MMDB-1075 - remove Statistics view and move the statistics to the Collections view. Based on feedback from the UI review, the statistics did not require an entire view and could be moved to the collections view. This is completed and tested. I also removed the statistics view from the Perspective and updated the layout accordingly for those views dependent on the Statistics view location and size.
  • Resolved MMDB-1076 - update the add comment wizard to match the functionality of the web client. The web client did not allow a user to provide a title so that field was removed from the Desktop Add Comment UI. I also changed the comment text field label from "Description" to "Comment" so it was more intuitive and added a title to the Add Comment wizard window.
  • Resolved MMDB-1078 - updated the add collection icon. The old icon matched the collection view icon (a stack of books); however, this didn't match the rest of the UI where adding something had a "plus" icon, also add collection only allowed you to add a single collection and the icon indicated multiple collections could be added with the stack of books. This is fixed. I located a suitable icon inside ncsa.icons plugin which is where most (possibly all) of the Medici icons come from.
  • Working on MMDB-1079 - Update gallery to display collection and dataset information at the bottom of the view. Currently, the collection being displayed is added to the view title and the number of datasets displayed is at the top of the view. I have moved this information to the bottom of the view as "Collection: collection-name" and below that "Showing: X datasets". This should be finished Monday January 10th after it is tested.
• KISTI

This week went as planned. I spent a brief amount of time digging through some MAEviz documentation to provide Jong with information for his and Danny Powell's meeting this week with the University of West Indies.
