Fwd: Reverting items in review to the backlog & displaying current reviewer in Admin Tasks

[Deividi Moreira]

Hi everyone,

We are currently running DSpace 8 and facing a challenge with workflow management. In certain situations, a reviewer claims an item for review but takes a prolonged time to complete it, causing publication delays.

To resolve this issue, we are looking into two specific features within the Administrator Tasks menu:

1. Reverting to Backlog: A button or action that allows an administrator to send an item currently under review back to the backlog (pool), making it available for redistribution to another reviewer.

2. Reviewer Identification: Displaying the current reviewer's name directly in the list of items under review.

We would appreciate any feedback from the community on the following:

• DSpace 8 Configuration: Is there any native configuration in DSpace 8 that enables returning an item to the backlog or showing the reviewer's name in this list?

• Support in DSpace 9/10: If this is not possible in DSpace 8, do DSpace 9 or DSpace 10 provide native support for these features?

• Custom Solutions: If there is no native support across these versions, has anyone implemented a similar workaround, custom solution, or Pull Request that you would be willing to share?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best regards,

Dear Deividi,

we faced a similar problem recently in DSpace 7 and found a way to at least show the current reviewer's Name. This might help you. 

We go to the HAL-Browser/REST-API of our repository and log in with an administrator account, then look up in the explorer field the following path:

                /server/api/workflow/claimedtasks/search/findAllByItem?uuid=cfc2c83a-9c2f-47aa-bd03-cc3af6f311c4*      

*The UUID here is just an example and needs to be replaced with the UUID of the item you are looking for.

Then it should show you the claimed task in the Response Body where you can find the Name of the task-owner/current reviewer:        

  		"owner": {
        	    "id": "cfc2c83a-9c2f-47aa-bd03-cc3af6f311c4",
            	    "uuid": "cfc2c83a-9c2f-47aa-bd03-cc3af6f311c4",
                    "name": "Simon Eiberger",

Kind regards from Germany

Simon
