IdoNotes (and sleep)

ILLWCM Day#4

Well the 4 day training class on the Java version is over.  The last day covered security, some talks on staging and covering what was missing.

Missing

• No view was there for just users or just groups.  They were all placed in one index.
• The actual documentation for the class suggests putting "(  )" around the names to help sort groups to the top.  Not a good way to do things.  I should have a user, group and all view available from the index.
• Two people could edit the same group at the same time. There was no locking and the last person to save got an error warning of a conflict.  Confusing at best
• A cache problem with the browser, across numerous machines.  You would find that after using the interface a long time during the day, no amount of refresh would update the index you needed to access.  Preventing you from grabbing some component, group or area you just added.  A restart and logging back in the browser was necessary..

Found

• You can lock a document when pushing it back though the approval process.  However, only one copy at a time may be back in draft status for the same part of the published site.
• As I mentioned before, everything you do needs a refresh as you go along.  So to have good practice, just refresh everytime you have added items and wish to leave an index in the navigation.
• Security can be added to any part of a site, workflow, stage or design can be done.  In order to get to see a portion of content, a person or group needs access to all the components that make the page.
