Core Platform Ideas

Zoom The priority for improvements is the zoom feature. The zoom is so sensitive, it makes it difficult to use. Additionally, there is no need to zoom out past 80% of the original size of the image. Arrows In addition to being able to use the arrow keys to navigate from one media to the next, the arrows on the screen, rather than appearing when hovered over, would be more useful if they were permanently visible, as they are on the PD. Icons The “rotation” feature, rather than being nested in “image adjustments” would be more efficient as it's own icon. One icon could replace the four different buttons, as long as it was distinguishable from the “revert to default view” icon, which as it is now, could be confused with a rotate arrow. Additional features/design Reduce the width of the margin on the left (for text and thumbnails) Speed up the loading of the image (load as a complete image, rather than mosaically) Use the "esc" button to leave the document viewer and return to the main page Thanks!

Currently media import from certain repositories (e.g. scanning providers) happens on a request-by-request basis and needs to be performed by Navigating.art . It would be good to have a custom media importer that fetches files from a S3 bucket, allowing users to import scans received from scanning providers independently.

For text / string filters, the following behaviour is expected: Exact matches : When enclosing terms in quotation marks, the exact combination of terms is expected to be matched in the results. Example: Entering "red flower" will only show results where the 2 words are appearing in this order Partial matches : Without quotation marks, the search terms also hit partial matches. Example: Entering red flower will match other results such as flowers in a red-orange vase Diacritics do not affect the search result, if used without quotation marks . Example: the term château should match both château and chateau ; the other way around chateau should also match both château and chateau Terms with diacritics enclosed within quotation marks are resulting exact matches that show the same diacritics

Problem: Recent selections in the list-view selections for resources, agents, and geographic locations display the last 5 selections. More results are required. Solution: Rework the current design for Recent selections section to display up to 15 results without obstructing the table display.

We have the ability to sort by "Exhibition catalogue number" and by "Publication reference number" however, when you select the feature the numbers appear as: 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 100, 101, 102.... It would be useful if they could appear in numerical sequence: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Just as there is the option to record additional information in 'Notes' in artwork records, and have this shown to the viewer in the public display when the note is set to public, it would be great to have the option to make notes on exhibitions and publications public as well. There is often contextual and supplementary information, about exhibitions in particular, that is necessary to capture and display.

Recent and upcoming extensions for agents overcrowded the detail page. We want to group content by priority in tabs, also integrating the reference search

Improve clarity of agent search overview and add new search criteria (ability to see/select AKA names and locations; display notes field)

In addition to creating relationships manually, it would be helpful to import relationships information that is already available in Getty ULAN. In order to import relationships, the agent entry needs to be connected with a ULAN ID. During the import additional agents missing on the platform can be imported as well.
