QA/Type & Resource Approval: How to?

[Brendon Bangert]

Dear Arches Users,

Our current dev team is experiencing issues establishing how to properly work the QA approval process. We currently have managed to get the QA type filter to appear on our framework however, we cannot get either of these shown options to appear anywhere (The photo attached). Bear in mind this image was taken from the development documents, however, there is no present procedure for how to go about making both option 3, and subsequentially option 4 to appear. 

Thanks,

Brendon R. Bangert

Dear Brandon ,

Thanks for your message last week.  I see that your question has not been answered yet.  

Were you able to find a solution?  If not, let me see if someone in the group can follow up with you.

Best,

Alina

Brendon,

Which version of Arches are you using?  This may be a case where the documentation is out of synch with the latest version of Arches.  In any case, the latest Arches provisional editing review highlights cards that require review.  For each card, all users who have edited the card (and who do not belong to the Resource Reviewer group) are listed on the right side of the data entry card.  Just click on each account to review and approve/discard their edits.

Cheers,

Dennis

Hi Brendon and Dennis,

We're having a similar issue on a site running version 4.4.1. The provisional QA Type search works perfectly. When we click Edit for a resource with provisional edits, the provisional edit card icons are showing up as gold on the left, and we are getting the pink banner at the top of the form. However, we are never shown the information to the right of the data entry card that was described above (what looks like what should be provided by the provisional-tile-manager template?).

Any ideas? Are we missing something obvious here? Permissions seem in order -- creating the resource as a resource editor and reviewing as a Resource Reviewer.

Did you ever solve it on your end Brendon?

Thanks,

Angela

Hi Angela,

From your screen shot, it looks like Arches is working as designed.  Here's what's happening:

In your example, it looks like the provisional edit shown in your screen capture is in fact the very first time the Name card for the resource instance was edited.  If you look at the message in the pink banner it says "This is a new contribution by a provisional editor".  In plainer language, what Arches is trying to say is "this is the first edit of this card, and its been submitted by a provisional editor".  Because this is the first and ONLY edit for this card, Arches doesn't need to show the information your are expecting on the right-hand side of the form.

Think of it this way: when a provisional editor submits a new tile, there's no way for any one else to see the tile until its been approved.  So there will never be multiple edits to a brand-new tile from a provisional editor.

You SHOULD see provisional editors listed on the right side of a card when provisional editors alter an existing approved tile.

Hope this helps,

Dennis

Hi Dennis,

That makes a lot of sense -- thank you for the explanation! I think I was expecting to see what was in the docs and that I had missed a setting. I now see how it works when it's the first provisional entry vs a subsequent provisional edit (and it does work just as you describe). Sorry to barge into this thread...

All best,

Angela

Dear Dennis,

Thanks again for the update and this actually covers all bases in regards to how QA functions within arches 5.0. Consequentially I would consider this to be resolved!

Thanks again,

Brendon
