Debi,
I reformatted your list, adding status and assignments (and in some cases -
comments). This will help us maintain a running list.
The gap analysis found only one item (next step field), this is a good sign.
When testing the web and email applications, try going into Scopus and
finding the record, changing it and then go back into the Web and do the
same. This is probably the easiest way to evaluate the integrity between
switching between the applications.

Task Status Assigned
1. Revise main screen Open Debi
see:
http://web/debi/www/phase1/help_main_cons.html
[ If you keep the field and button names the same, the
changes to the main screen form should continue to work. ]
2. Question: Closed
Regarding: Search by Open status.
Answer: The Open status works the same way as in the Scopus
applicaton. Open returns all logs not set as Closed or Cancelled.
3. Add Next Step field: Open Wade/Ho
[ This field needs to be added to both Scopus and the Web. I will
add this to the database and the web, can Rob and David work to
get this added to the Scopus application. ]
4. Current values for
Log Stati and Category: Open Debi/Smyser
The Scopus interface allows you to maintain these values. I recall
that Rob, Peter Ragone and Barbara have access to make changes.
5. Required fields: Open Debi/Smyser
The required fields in Scopus should reflect the required fields
in both the email and web interface. If not, there are integrity
issues. For example, leaving out the category field on the web,
causes Scopus Save function to print an error dialog box.
The action item is to gain consistency.
6. Fix Log Table: Open Wade
Changing COLSPAN=6 to COLSPAN=5 in two cells: the ones holding the
Department and Summary fields.
7. Fix Log Table: Open Wade
Line containing the Rec'd By label and field, the
Modified label and field, and the Closer label and field is
messed up...the fields aren't there. Try adding " for
missing field.
8. Fix background color: Open Wade
The bgcolor tags for the fields in the log screen only have 5 F's
instead of six.
9. Add network history: Open Wade
Underneath the History field at the bottom of the read-only log info,
can we add the Install Description field (the MIT_DESC field in
the MIT_N table)?
Do I understand that this is read-only. If so, it seems doable
for phase 1. Appending or inserting would be more complex and
thus add time.
10. Label Change: Open Wade
Can we change Firstname to First Name and Lastname to Last Name?
11. Label Change: Open Wade
Can we put a colon and space between each "field name" in the log
screen, otherwise the text version looks as follows, and is also
hard to read in Lynx.
12. Wording Change: Open Wade
Can we change "Your modification has been successfully recorded as
listed" to "Log #XXXXXX has been successfully updated".
13. Wording Change: Open Wade
Can we change the link "Log ID XXXXXX" on the success page to "Log
#"Log ID XXXXXX: More Info"
14. Style Change: Open Wade/Debi
For some reason on the success page, the "Case History" label is way
over to the right. Should be aligned left.
[Debi, can you send the HTML you would like]
15. Wording Change: Open Wade
Can we change "Logid [XXXXXX] was not found in the database" to "Log
#XXXXXX was not found in the dataabase."
16. Change Submit wording Open Wade
New text: "If any of your contact information is incorrect,
please make a note of it in the 'Problem Description' field, below.
(To make a permanent change, notify the Personnel or Registrar's
office, as appropriate). Only the individual listed will be able
to view this case from the Web."
17. Required field Open Wade
Add the following to the Submit screen:
Number #5 ("Please include a one-line summary of your problem.")
