From Qubit Toolkit

Qubit doesn't allow users to print reports such as file lists. Ideally such a feature would allow for the following,

• Print pages, including search results, to PDF
• Print pages, including search results, to a printer
• Print file lists (e.g. all the files in a series) or item lists (e.g. all the items in a file), issue 412
• Print box lists (e.g. all the files in a box)
• Print lists of physical storage locations (e.g. all the boxes in a fonds)
• Print complete finding aids (all levels of description - the complete contents of a fonds)
• Custom report formats by selecting fields
• Modify search results (e.g. by omitting hits) and print modified set

However, development may start with simple "print page" function, e.g. by creating a print CSS stylesheet, issue 76

General reporting issue, issue 86?

[edit] Search results

• Fields to include: reference code, title, date(s), level of description, part of fonds/series/file, repository, issue 1135
  • Repository would be included in multi-repository system only
• The search query, sort order and date of printing would appear in a header
• Here's an example of a printed search results page for a single-repository system,

[edit] File/item lists

• Fields to include: reference code, title, date(s), conditions governing access
  • Parent level(s) are included in a header
  • Date printed is included in the header as well
• User:Richard Container number would also be useful here; include reference codes of parents in header?

[edit] Box lists

• Fields to include: reference code, title, date(s), part of fonds/series/file, conditions governing access
  • Box number and location are included in a header
  • Date printed is included in the header as well

[edit] Physical storage locations

• Fields to include: name, location, type
  • Title of fonds (or collection, series etc.) is included in a header
  • Date printed is included in the header as well

[edit] Complete finding aids

• See example, http://www.sfu.ca/archives2/F-164/FindingAid.pdf
• User:Richard That SFU example structures finding aid into separate tabs for fonds description; series descriptions; file lists; items lists; unprocessed holdings; appendices. We are now wondering about some issues,
  • would it be better to put file and item lists with the relevant series description instead of separating them to their own tab?
  • where to put fuller item-level description (e.g. a full description of a film)?
