Content editor user flows

Britta edited this page May 24, 2024 · 1 revision

Purpose: Help the team imagine how people could use the content editing system. Not all of these things may be feasible or may need to be supported.

Why people might care about adding content

Adding metadata takes time and energy. The promised benefit would be that you (and your coworkers) can find what you're looking for because:

  • You don't have to pick just one subject for an item - it can have multiple subjects
  • Filter items by date, document type, etc. to reduce the number of items you have to look through
  • For finding more specific things that may not be tagged with a subject, we can have full-text keyword search that doesn't take forever

Content editing user stories

These stories may apply to both eRegs team members and CMCS staff members who would be helping build the repository.

Add and update internal content

  1. I want to add internal documents and add metadata to them (subjects, regulation sections, date, title, etc.). Possibilities:
    1. I want to upload one document.
    2. I want to upload 10 documents that have different subjects.
    3. I want to upload 10 documents that all have the same subjects.
    4. I want to upload a zip file that contains multiple documents. [Ideally we would not need to allow this, just noting that a person may want to do it.]
    5. I have a URL for an internal content item (on Sharepoint or similar).
  2. I want to add internal documents with just a file name, and I'll leave it to somebody else to add the metadata.
  3. I want to edit metadata for an existing internal document (regulation sections, date, title, etc.).
  4. I want to make sure an internal document is findable, but I don't know whether it's already in eRegs, so I'm not sure whether I should upload it.

Add and update tag lists

  1. I want to edit the subject matter list.
  2. I want to edit the document type list.
  3. I want to edit the states and territories list.

Add and update public content (including adding subjects)

  1. I want to add or update subjects for an existing public document (a piece of supplemental content or Federal Register document with a URL).
  2. I want to add a public document and add subjects and other metadata to it (regulation sections, date, title, etc.). Possibilities:
    1. I have a URL for a supplemental content item.
    2. I have a URL for a Federal Register item.
    3. I have a file and I'm not sure whether it's an internal document or public document. I don't know where to find the URL for it.
  3. I want to update non-subject metadata for a public document (regulation sections, date, title, etc.).
