webTop Overview Changes

Overview

The webtop overview is a collection of webskins that render out the default admin view for any content item.

Screenshots

Gallery of screengrabs for custom webtop summaries using existing FarCry webtop customisation options. A lot is possible. Proposing we adopt a much more effective generic webtop overview summary.

Proposed Changes

Currently webtop overview summaries just show common type properites in a definition list. We need to make this area work a little bit harder. So while we need a common format or approach to the functional design of this area, we need to highlight key common properties or functionalities that could improve the overall user experience.

Webskin Hierarchy

Special Situations

Navigation Folders

Should show links to underlying content items in the tree.

Content Locked

Content that is locked by another user needs to be more prominent, with the basic call to action obvious: unlock, who do i contact to unlock.

Publish Date

publishdate is a common property to future publish content items. Need to clearly indicate when a content item is not published due to a future publishdate; count down to publish date.

Expiry date

expirydate is a common property to indicate a content item has auto-expired and been removed from the site. The overview should alert the contributor is the content is in fact expired.

Categorisation

Important to summaries all the relevant categories assigned to a relevant content item. Might also include some allowance for keywords.

Parent Content

Should show a link to the parent content item. Essential if tree content. Perhaps a customisation for non-tree content with a primary parent relationship.
