Kevin Van de Velde reassigned DS-1188:
--------------------------------------
Assignee: Kevin Van de Velde
> collection view doesn't show content by default
> -----------------------------------------------
>
> Key: DS-1188
> URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1188
> Project: DSpace
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JSPUI, XMLUI
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0, 1.6.0, 1.7.0, 1.8.0
> Reporter: Ivan Masár
> Assignee: Kevin Van de Velde
> Priority: Major
>
> (I was thinking hard whether to mark this as improvement or bug. I decided
> it's a usability bug.)
> When you open a collection, you don't see the collection contents (items).
> You see a list of possible views (Browse by: By Issue Date, Authors, Titles,
> ...). For first time users, this is confusing (they don't see content
> immediately) and for regular users there's an extra click required every time
> they open a collection (!). Confusion of first time users is further
> aggravated because they see a list of recent submissions which looks like
> they're looking at content, but this not complete paginable content and
> complete content in this format (reverse chronological by submission date) is
> not even available as an option. The last issue is that it's not even easily
> visible how many items a collection contains before selecting one of the
> views.
> I'm sorry to sound so harsh about this, I know it's been always like that in
> DSpace so some might consider that a feature. But I've seen first-time DSpace
> users confused over this again and again. I think this is a major usability
> problem.
> Proposed solution:
> 1) Pick a default (but configurable) view for collections
> 2) Remove "Recent submissions" from collections
> 3) Add "By submission date" as a view - complete with pagination and item
> count. This can be even made the default view.
