Pika Release Notes 2017.02 Sprint

Released March 9, 2017

New Functionality

  • Full record display for objects within the Archive can be configured so administrators can choose which sections to show and what order they should be displayed in. All Metadata entered within Islandora is now shown within Pika.

You will get the default settings.  If you want to build your own More Details accordions, you would click on the Reset Archive More Details To Default button.

  • Added a new component for customizable archive that allows browsing a collection based on a facet value.  Currently limited to only showing 120 values based on the most frequently used terms.

  • Updated display of related objects and entities so they can be viewed as tiles of thumbnails or as lists.

Example of a List  & Tiled

 

 

  • Allow customization of thumbnails within exhibit pages so they can be linked to other pages.

 

  • Allow Facets to be customized for Archive searches similar to what is done for searches of print materials.

   

You will get the default settings.  If you want to build your own archive search facets, you would click on the Reset Archive Search Facets To Default button. You can also use the Copy Library Archive Search Facets to copy another library’s archive search facets.

 

  • Allow customization of which fields display on the Archive Request Form

These are some of the customizable fields for the Archive Copy Request Form. If a field is hidden, it will not display in the form.  If a field is required, it will have a red asterisk next to it. If a field is optional, the user can decide it they want to fill it out.

  • Language Facet no longer contains data from 041a field.  Also fixed a bug where geographic terms were being inserted into the language facets. Also fixed a bug where language was not showing within search results even when enabled.

  • Nashville Odilo records have covers loaded properly

Bug Fixes
