Digital team sprint notes 19 April - 16 May

20 May, 2016

This post was originally published on The University of Bath's Web Services Blog.

Last week we said goodbye to our Digital Supporter, Chris Shimmin-Vincent, who has joined our colleagues in Computing Services as their new Service Manager for IT Literacy. Good luck Chris!

For the next two months we have a temporary Digital Supporter, Richard Massey, helping us out until we appoint a permanent replacement.

We missed our last couple of Sprint Note slots due to illness, so let's see what we've been missing:

New Content Publisher (CMS) features

Done

  • Standardised the 'featured image' section across all relevant content types and ensured it always requires a caption

Next

  • When editing a Landing Page, allow editors to pin content items associated with the Organisation or Group
  • When editing an Organisation's Landing page, allow editors to choose content items that are owned by or associated with Groups that are part of the Organisation
  • Allow editors to choose from a list of content types to populate the 'About' section of a Landing Page

Site templates

Done

  • Clicking on a Call to Action link is now recorded in Google Analytics as an Event
  • Increased the spacing above the 'supervisor availability' section on Person Profiles
  • Simplified the display of audience information on Events
  • Improved the spacing between pinned items on Landing Pages to clarify which item a label belongs to
  • No longer displays pagination on filtered lists if there is only page of items
  • Event date and location information is now visible in Event lists
  • When describing the status of a Project we've changed the term 'Active' to 'In progress'

Next

  • Show in-page navigation for Detailed Guides
  • Iteration of the layout of the Person Profile template based on test results

Course Publisher (Prospectus)

Done

  • Moved our Alpha to our common infrastructure in preparation for Beta
  • Created a full, responsive Course page in HTML

Next

  • Add editing forms to the application so we can begin testing
  • Generate a Course page from editor input

Testing

Done

  • Testing of the Person Profile template with the Faculty of Engineering and Design
  • Benchmarking the Event, Guide, Project and Campaign content types in the faculties of Science and Humanities & Social Sciences (HSS)

Next

  • Testing of Person Profiles with the faculties of Science, HSS and the School of Management
  • Preparing a test on the Case Study content type

New sections published

Done

We now have 284 items live on www.bath.ac.uk which are managed with the new CMS.
