QA Lookup Modal

[astridu]

From Lynette's ticket: Expected user actions

user selects cache authority with minimal set of subauths selected user types search term and hits Lookup button results are populated in a table with context in different columns if acceptable result NOT found, select more or other subauths if acceptable result NOT found, select direct authority instead of cached user clicks a result and is returned to Sinopia edit page with field populated with the result This allows one field to support multiple authorities and subauthorities while at the same time allowing the user more control over the process.

Mockup: Personal Name (LoC) - Lookup with Context and Multiple Authorities (original mockup from LD4P Labs)

Use Case: Select Multiple Results Allows a user to select multiple values from a single set of search results.

Expected user actions

user types search term and hits Lookup button results are populated in a table with context in different columns user checks multiple results user clicks Save and is returned to Sinopia edit page with field populated multiple times with each selected result Mockup: Genre/Form (LoC) (original mockup from LD4P Labs)

Use Case: Select Multiple Results from Primary Result and/or Context This is an extension of the last example to include selection of results from the context for a result. This is especially useful for hierarchical vocabularies with broader and narrower terms.

Expected user actions

user types search term and hits Lookup button results are populated in a table with context in different columns user checks multiple results from the primary column and/or preconfigured context columns that can also serve as the result (QA already includes which columns can be selected) user clicks Save and is returned to Sinopia edit page with field populated multiple times with each selected result Mockup: Genre/Form (LoC) (original mockup from LD4P Labs) - same as last example

Additional Features A Lookup UI could also support:

pagination to get more results clicking on a hierarchical term performs a lookup on that term control lookup process by selecting left anchored search or key word search

Part of the work for this epic is seeing how we can consolidate the functionality of the following Sinopia components to use the same InputLookupModal:

• InputLookupQA - Done already uses the Modal
• InputListLOC - Currently uses Typeahead component for displaying a value list. We will see if QA could add these vocabularies so that we could depreciate this component and just use the InputLookupQA both QA and LOC. I'll bring this up at the 9/23 Sinopia/QA meeting.
• InputLookupSinopia - Done already uses the Modal.

Related to this is to investigate if we can remove all other uses of the Typeahead in ticket 2524

Closing; I think the work has been accomplished.
