Item 2: CI Development Update

  • General Update - Gendler
    The Discovery Environment was opened up to iPG2P's Steering Committee last Wednesday, April 14. There have been no updates to the UI for the. CI Development has focused on defect corrections or the current release and planning and design work for the Q2 release. With defect correction, none of the bugs that have been reported have not mapped to an issue already known to the group. However, there have been some edge case scenarios of people using the UI in ways that were never anticipated (i.e. hitting save 5 times in a row). Currently, Nicole, Monica and Bernice are working to improve the look and feel and user experience of the current DE. Training materials are also being developed for the DE. Moving forward, development will focus on the reintroduction of perspectives along with window management. Implementation of the UHTS workflow will begin on April 27th.
