Test of new submission form, March 2018

Page history last edited by Ann Myers 5 years, 10 months ago

 

Follow these steps:

  1. Log in to WordPress (http://rbms.info/scf/wp-admin)
  2. Open https://rbms.info/scf/submit/
  3. Fill out the form from one of your assigned citation forms (complete list here: New proposals). Use your own name and email address.
  4. Go to the WordPress site and click on "SCF Pages" on the left-hand side. You should see the form you just filled out in the list as "Pending". Mouse over it and click "Edit"
  5. Edit the form to conform to our style guidelines (Instructions for Editing and Formatting New Citation Forms) and ensure that the new citation form follows our Working Principles.
    1. Note that in order for your edits to take effect, you must make them in the top half of the form. If you need to add more fields - such as additional subject headings - you can make those changes in the bottom half of the form.
  6. When done, either Save as Pending if you have questions about your citation form, or Publish if you are satisfied.
  7. Preview, or View post to see how it looks on the website.

 

Watch for issues:

  1. When you first submit the form and again when you publish the citation form, you should get automated emails from the system letting you know where your citation form is in the process. Do these messages come through as expected?
    1. Yes, I love that the proposer gets an email when the form is submitted and again when the citation is published. Do you foresee any problems if the published citation form differs from the proposed one? I know in the past you've emailed individual proposers notifying them that their proposal was published and any changes that were made. Now we won't have to email every proposer and maybe not even those for which changes are made. Do we want to leave it up to them to contact us if the new citation doesn't satisfy. Just in case, I put a note in the "New citation forms created 2018" doc, http://scfrevision.pbworks.com/w/page/122887218/New%20citation%20forms%20created%202018, for the citation I changed. (Chrome)
    2. No,no emails at all.I was working in I.E. I don’t know if it matters, but I’ll try the next one in Firefox. Later showed up in spam much delayed, but never got submission confirmation; Firefox got publication right away, but no acceptance email.
    3. No emails at all (Chrome) not in spam either
    4. No emails (Firefox)
    5. Emails showed up in junk folder
  2. Is the submission form easy to understand and fill out? Do we need to provide any additional instructions?
    1. Yes, submission form is easy to fill out.
  3. Do the fields from the submission form map as you would expect/like to the editing form?
    1. Yes, the fields map fine.
    2. More or less.
  4. Are there any issues with editing or publishing from this form?
    1. Issues with editing or publishing: I noticed once that a second subject heading I added didn't take. I included the first heading in the top part of the form, which populated the first subject heading field in the bottom part. Then I added a second subject heading in the bottom part, directly below the first subject heading. When I saved the work form, the second subject heading was dropped, which I noticed during the preview. When I went back to add it, it worked. However, I didn't have this problem with the next work form so it may have been my error.
    2. I found the top and bottom sections confusing like everyone else did. The sole subject headings field was also a little confusing.
    3. Also had a problem with the second subject heading not saving
  5. If people started submitting their citation forms in this way, would it save you time in creating the new forms? Should we move forward with implementing this?
    1. I think so, especially if the email notification works.
  6. Any other issues or concerns?
    1. Concerned about the name and email address of the proposer showing up in the form; doesn't get published, but how secure is that?
      1. I asked Kelli about this, and since those fields are not mapped to anything in our public display, there is no chance of them being "leaked" or accidentally published. --AKDM

Results:

  1. Registration issues. Asking Kelli to check for bugs; will need to have clearer instructions
  2. Editing form is confusing with the two forms and some don't save changes. Asking Kelli to combine fields
  3. Sometimes the fields from the submission form do not display, meaning there is no way to save changes. Asking Kelli to look into this.
  4. Email notification is erratic. Asking Kelli to look into this.
  5. Subject heading field is confusing. Asking Kelli to remove; we will just use the edit form to input Subjects as we always have.
