"Author" and "Supervisor" functions

[CarlsoFiorention]

We consider the search for specific thesis' authors, however this category doesn't provide any advantage to the visualizations. We agreed to keep the function to give the user two options to look for specific authors:

• by typing keywords (names)
• by scrolling down the list with all names available (ordered alphabetically?)

For now we are not collecting information about authors or supervisors for the widgets (visualizations)

Just a minor point here: we don't provide all author names in a scrollable list - there are too many.

We use autosuggest as the user types to populate a dropdown with something like the 10 best matches.

That may work fine, thanks

You can see it in action on the site:

Just want to clarify @CarlsoFiorention what needs to be done with this, if anything, on the site at this point?

[CarlsoFiorention]

Only change the label "Creator" to "Author" Nothing else needs to be done for this particular issue

Thanks @CarlsoFiorention
