Evergreen 2.9 Documentation Needs (deprecated, see 2.10_needs)

Documentation needs based on the Release Notes entries that were submitted with new features during the 2.9 release cycle.

Copy the HTML code below to update the status of an item:

  • Assign yourself: <html><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold">[your name]</span></html> ([your name])
  • Add a status: <html><span style="color: green;font-weight: bold"> COMPLETE!</span></html> (COMPLETE!)

TIPS

Check Sitka's documentation, especially when documenting older features
Regular Manual and Acquisitions Manual

High level workflow for documenting new EG features

These are the high-level steps we take to document new features:

  1. Look at the new feature docs to do list (this page) and sign yourself up for documenting a new feature
    1. You will need a EG community wiki account to edit wiki pages, just email docs@evergreen-ils.org for access.
  2. Look over the release notes entry for the feature you picked and decide
    1. if the feature warrants a new section in the official manual (For 9/10/2015, see: http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/dev/) to explain the new feature
    2. or just a bit of new content in an existing section that is related to the new feature.
    3. Maybe what is needed is to replace an existing screenshot in the docs with a newer screenshot that shows off or demonstrates the new feature
  3. Once you decide how the new feature should be documented follow the standard steps to contribute documentation to DIG

NOTE: Sometimes you can reuse almost all of the text in the new feature release note for use in the official docs, but sometime you have to come up with significant edits to the original release notes text.

2.9

General

  • Change references to TPAC to say catalog, public catalog, or staff catalog as appropriate
    • JSPAC was removed in 2.9, so TPAC is now the only catalog. And several people agreed on IRC that "OPAC" is less clear and should be avoided.

  • ALL COMPLETE!

2.5

    • OPAC maintenance message [Stompro] Working GIST
    • My List enhancements - Enhancements include improvement on navigation for My Lists by displaying a page number and allowing for navigation by page number; addition of pagination for items in a list; addition of My Lists Preferences tab in Account Preferences where users can identify the number of lists and the number of list items that should display in each page; and a prompt now displays when users select the Delete List button confirming that they really want to delete the list. Should be incorporated in My Lists documentation.Jessica
    • Some new OPAC features (shelving location filter, set search context by shortname, RSS links to full catalog) should probably be incorporated in a larger "document the tpac" project.
  • Serials
    • Support Reader Address Information in Routing Slip Template
  • SIP
    • Support SIP Hold Cancellation - Looks like this adds a configuration option which should probably be incorporated when SIP Server docs are moved up.
    • Return Hold ID to SIP - Probably requires some documentation since the use cases it support may not be immediately apparent.
