We also discussed adding a "notes" field and a "Current Status" field to a request, so that we (and the user) could track progress?
This might be sufficient to address (1) above for the moment - Sharron could paste the text of emails into the notes field as a first step.
For the Current Status field, our provisional list of current status options would be (note that these are NOT ordered options):
a) General access studies
Request sent to ADA
Request awaiting further information from user
Request awaiting general undertaking from user
Request approved - click HERE to access data (includes link to dataset)
Request denied
b) Restricted access studies
Request sent to ADA
Request forwarded to depositor for approval
Request awaiting further information from user
Request approved by depositor - awaiting restricted access undertaking from user
Request approved - click HERE to access data (includes link to dataset)
Request denied
Sharron's working on mapping the current approvals workflow so that we can look at any adjustments we need to make on either the ADAUsers or administrative side. It would be good to follow up again later this week to work through this mapping, to make sure we have our bases covered.
