PUBLISHING WORKFLOW: As a JCDP Admin I want to be able to publish other JCDP data owner's metadata so that I can ensure the quality of metadata being published #213

Admin the only one that can publish - not the metadata owner themselves.

Needs a mechanism for notification that there is metadata waiting to be published @GMDuncan how does this work in EModnet workflow?

GMDuncan commented 3 years ago

@LynnHeeley @NikkiTaylorJNCC Do we want a formal review workflow, where JNCC (or similar project admin) would approve the metadata record (or reject). And do we want the admin to receive an email when an email is on a workflow?

This may add extra complexity for the user to start the workflow with the appropriate button but should be learned relatively quickly.

@GMDuncan @LynnHeeley I'm not 100% clear on what you mean by 'formal review workflow' - but essentially yes, I think we need a metadata 'approval' stage for publishing by a central admin (whoever that may be - assume JCDP coordinator initially) for appropriate QA, and an alert for submissions waiting for approval would be very helpful to ensure publishing is sorted quickly. Failing that it may be a weekly task to check and publish metadata submissions....?

Thanks @NikkiTaylorJNCC yes that sounds like a proper workflow including email alerts to me!

@PeriklisICES can you confirm if this is in place and issue can be closed - thanks

PeriklisICES commented 2 years ago

The workflow is in place but the automatic email does not work. There seems to be a bug in the current version of Geonetwork in this functionality. Users need to manually send an email to inform if there is a status update in their records. I am expecting this to be magically fixed when I update Geonetwork to a newer version.

closing and follow-up action in #242
