Usability Sub-Team Community Discussion - Streamlining Configuration Changes in the Staff User Interface
Join
the ArchivesSpace Usability Subteam and ArchivesSpace front-end developer Brian Zelip of the program team for a discussion about configuring the ArchivesSpace application from within the staff user interface on April 23, 2025, at 1:00pm ET (find
your local time).
Our goal is to allow users to modify default configuration options for both the Staff and Public User Interface directly in the Staff User Interface instead of updating the back-end configuration file. This would allow archivists to customize their instance without relying on IT or system administrators.
We need your input to make this happen. We’re seeking community member feedback on commonly used configuration changes and those that have been delayed due to IT or sysadmin constraints. Consider these questions:
- What configuration options would you like to control from within the Staff User Interface?
- How would this functionality help you improve your ArchivesSpace repositories for your users?
To help us better understand initial needs and priorities, we’ve created a short survey: https://utk.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_a30PFndrYXMKJW6. Please complete by Friday, April 18th.
Whether or not you are able to attend the discussion on April 23, your input will directly shape development efforts to create more accessible, archivist-friendly customization options.
This discussion and the survey are open to ArchivesSpace members only. This is in recognition of the crucial role that ArchivesSpace members play in directly financially supporting the sustainability and development of the application. Having input in large development projects and discussions like this one is one of the benefits you have for being members of ArchivesSpace.
Registration for this session is required. Registration is available at https://lyrasis.zoom.us/meeting/register/ebfInEDlSNu3zwag-WKfaQ
To facilitate a more open conversation, this session will not be recorded.
If you have any questions for the Usability Subteam in advance of this session, please email Archives...@lyrasis.org
