EBMS Tickets

I may need some clarification for "the sequence of citations has changed." If new articles have been added to your queue (typically by the librarians) would you not want them to show up when you return to your queue? If we need to freeze snapshots of the queue, I may need to raise the story point estimate.

~juther: Did you see my question above?

I think I've found the answer to my question by reading the title of the ticket, to which I obviously hadn't paid sufficient attention until just now. I wasn't sure whether "the sequence of citations has changed" referred to the composition of the sequence (adding or subtracting elements) or the order of the existing elements in a sequence (without changing the composition of the set of elements in the sequence). The context provided by the ticket's title provides a good clue that you meant the latter. :-)

Could you give me the steps I would need to perform in order to reproduce this behavior?

~juther: I'll need repro steps before I can proceed with this ticket.

I'm working on this but haven't found anything reliable to reproduce it yet. I'll keep you posted.

Oops, looks like I had two issues flipped and posted my comments to the wrong ones.

Here are the steps to reliably reproduce this problem on QA.

I've come up with steps to reliably reproduce this problem on QA, and it may also work for OCEEBMS-466.

1. Go to the review citations page (queue) as a Board manager.
2. Click on the title of one of the articles to go to the full citation page. Note which number the article is before you go to the full citation page. (I usually scroll down the page and select one a little further down - i.e., not the first article listed.)
3. On the full citation page, click on the pencil icon next to "editorial board" to add a new Board. Select a topic (or just confirm the default topic selection and review cycle selections.
4. Click on "return to queue". When you return to the queue page, the sequence of citations in the queue has changed.

I don't get the behavior you describe, as you can see from my three screen shots above. I think we're going to have to sit down and look at this together.

Ah, I see you've changed your instructions to explicitly have the steps done on QA. Not sure why QA and DEV would be different, but I'll give it a shot on QA.

That shouldn't matter...I just happened to test on QA. We can take a look together tomorrow though.

Probably best. I just looked at my queue on QA and it's only got three articles in it, so not the best test of changes to the queue's sort order.

By the way, just out of curiosity, when you open up the DISPLAY OPTIONS flap, what does the SORT BY field say?

Note that mine says EBMS ID#. Some of the options aren't going to be as deterministic as that one, which has a one-to-one correspondence between sort key and article.

I was curious if the sort order could have something to do with it, too. Victoria and Sharon seem to run into this issue most frequently, so I changed my sort order to the one I know at least Victoria uses (Journal - Core Journals First). She also uses the abstract view, but I don't think that makes a difference. I saved this sort order as the default in the Test Board Manager account.

Also, if you log in as Test Board Manager and change the selected Board to Genetics, you'll have plenty of citations!

Ah, that would explain everything. I don't believe Dan was given any requirements for sub-sort order for those options. Want to lay out exactly how you want the queue sorted for each of the available options? To save you some work, a simple approach would be to just add a subsort by the EBMS ID.

Your proposal to sub-sort by EBMS ID sounds good to me. Thanks.

Try it on DEV.

Verified on DEV. Thanks!
