[dspace-tech] Export to CSV in Administrator Workflow

[mad...@udel.edu]

Hi All,

I have version Dspace 7.4 running on a RHEL 9 system. I've tried to create 
a new process in the Administrator Workflow area but I'm getting a CSV file 
with zero results. I am able to create other metadata exports in the 
Process tab.

Thanks
Keith

Re: [dspace-tech] Export to CSV in Administrator Workflow

[Paige Morgan]

To add on to this, I get the exact same response when I try this on the
https://demo7.dspace.org/ site.

I go to Administer Workflow (while logged in as administrator); it shows
1-10 of 67 total items in process. On the righthand side, there's an icon
to export search results as a CSV. When I click that, the process starts,
and finishes normally, and offers me a CSV that I can download (titled
metadataExportSearch). The spreadsheet is 14b, and its only content is a
top row for id and collection -- no other info is included.

It seems like this might be a more widespread bug -- can anyone confirm?

Thanks,
Paige

Re: [dspace-tech] Export to CSV in Administrator Workflow

['Tim Donohue' via DSpace Technical Support]

Hi Paige & Keith,

I can confirm this is happening locally for me as well.  It looks like a 
possible bug.  This "Export to CSV" works fine in normal search results & also 
in the "Your submissions" part of MyDSpace.  But, I can verify that it doesn't 
work when viewing "Workflow tasks".

That said, I admit, I wonder if that "Export to CSV" link should even appear on 
the "Workflow tasks" page, as it's not really possible to perform batch 
metadata editing on "Workflow tasks". (The Export to CSV feature is primarily 
used for Batch Metadata Editing purposes)

So, this is all to say, I think there's a bug here.  But, the bug might be that 
the option even appears on this page.  Is this a specific use case you had for 
wanting to export Workflow Tasks to CSV?  Just curious as maybe there's a way 
to get this possibly accidental feature "working" rather than remove it 
altogether.  Either way, I do think this is a bug, I'm just not sure which fix 
is appropriate yet (remove it, or fix it).

If you have time, please feel free to submit a bug ticket to 
https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues   I'm assuming you likely want 
it "fixed" (rather than removed), so it'd be useful to understand your use 
cases in this ticket.

Thanks!

Tim

Re: [dspace-tech] Export to CSV in Administrator Workflow

[Paige Morgan]

Hi Tim,

Thanks for this response! For use cases, I would find it helpful to have in
process workflow items exportable as a way of tracking what’s going on with
items that are in process, and/or that have been orphaned. When we were
running DSpace 5.3, there was no way for an administrator to even see
broadly what was happening, and what workflow items *were* in process. We
have a number of items that have been hanging out in that space, and this
is the first time that I've actually been able to see them.

My hope is that I can work on cleaning those up, and then not have so many
sitting around -- but I would find it very helpful to be able to check and
export a CSV periodically, just to check in with folks who use the workflow
setup.

Does that make sense as a use case?

Thanks again,
Paige

Re: [dspace-tech] Export to CSV in Administrator Workflow

['Tim Donohue' via DSpace Technical Support]

Hi Paige,

Yes that makes sense. It's clear that in your use case this "Export to CSV" 
is not for "Batch Metadata Editing"... it's just to generate a basic 
"status report" of items in workflow.

If you would, could you or Keith submit a bug ticket 
to https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues ?   I'd recommend adding 
the step by step instructions for reproducing the error. Then add in some 
basic details of how you'd like to use this feature.   I can then see if I 
can find someone to work on this in the near future, with the hope that we 
can fix it (instead of remove it).  They will have to investigate the 
underlying issue though to see if it's easier to fix quickly.. or remove it 
(to solve the bug) temporarily & fix later.   

Overall though, the more I look at this feature, the more I think this was 
accidental & never meant to appear on that page. :)  So, it may turn out to 
be a happy accidental feature!

Tim

Re: [dspace-tech] Export to CSV in Administrator Workflow

[Morgan, Paige]

Hi, Emilia--

Are you running 7.1? I remember when I encountered this problem myself – it 
turned out that the export button had been written into the interface, but it 
didn't actually have any functionality behind it.

I did, at Tim Donohue's suggestion, put in a ticket suggesting that 
functionality be built in, but I don't think anything has happened with that, 
and in more recent versions (7.4), the icon/button has been removed.

Good luck!
Paige

Hi Paige & Keith,

I can confirm this is happening locally for me as well.  It looks like a 
possible bug.  This "Export to CSV" works fine in normal search results & also 
in the "Your submissions" part of MyDSpace.  But, I can verify that it doesn't 
work when viewing "Workflow tasks".

That said, I admit, I wonder if that "Export to CSV" link should even appear on 
the "Workflow tasks" page, as it's not really possible to perform batch 
metadata editing on "Workflow tasks". (The Export to CSV feature is primarily 
used for Batch Metadata Editing purposes)

So, this is all to say, I think there's a bug here.  But, the bug might be that 
the option even appears on this page.  Is this a specific use case you had for 
wanting to export Workflow Tasks to CSV?  Just curious as maybe there's a way 
to get this possibly accidental feature "working" rather than remove it 
altogether.  Either way, I do think this is a bug, I'm just not sure which fix 
is appropriate yet (remove it, or fix it).

If you have time, please feel free to submit a bug ticket to

Thanks for your answer. I am using version 7.6.1 of DSpace. The button is 
still not shown.
