Bugs

In Progress

Default Sorting for Supported Faculty in Staff Headers

This data should display in alphabetical order by default. We are also working on custom sorting options.

Ticket: https://ysmweb.atlassian.net/browse/FIX-2794

Indexing

The new profiles are being tested on a special branch of our database, which has a slight delay and seems to be finicky. So you may notice, for example, that if you delete your title card and then re-add it, it won’t show up when you click “test the new design!”. This will all be seamless when we move the new profiles to the production area for launch.

Appointment Data Display

We are adjusting how appointment data is displayed to simplify it and reduce the amount of duplicate/contrasting items. Dates are being removed.

• Assistant Clinical Professor

• Assistant Clinical Professor (Social Work)

• Assistant Dean

• Assistant Professor

• Associate Clinical Professor

• Associate Dean

UI Improvements and Suggestions

In Progress

Display Description Text for Professional Achievements

We are working on displaying the description text for certain entries in the Academic Achievements and Community Involvement section of the profile.

Currently, we are displaying the role, activity type, and institution/organization for activities, which results in items without much detail:

We are going to show the description field, which is currently under “Details,” so it is more clear what the achievements are without opening the sub-menu:

Media Library Collection of Banner Images

We are going to add a collection of Banner images used on profiles that displays when users go to add a banner to their profile.

Research at a Glance: Rename Co-Authors to Yale Co-Authors

The Co-Authors that display in Research at a Glance are really only Yale Co-Authors, because we have the data for them, so we updated the text in the section to say Yale Co-Authors:

Ticket:

Willing and Available to Mentor Check Boxes

Add Postdocs to this Mentoring list in Beatrix because many faculty interpret “Fellows” as clinical fellows and not postdoctoral fellows.

Ticket:

Mentoring Modal - Add Associate Research Scientist

When adding a new mentee, one of the position options in the dropdown menu should be Associate Research Scientist.

Ticket:

Create new functionality to incorporate current mentees in research section

Work on using current mentees to create a lab card or section in the research section of the profile. This would be particularly useful for people foregoing lab websites.

Titles Header Card: Change from semi-colon separated list to individual titles

We want to improve the readability of the Title header cards, and instead of using a long, semi-colon separated list, we want to separate the administrative titles and stack them vertically. We want to do this for both versions of the card (with and without the Workday titles).

Ticket:
