Latest Updates

update: Download Document Reports

We've now added an option to download and report on all Catalogue documents, using the Views Excel Export module from Drupal. We looked at a few options, but found this the cleanest technique to download a full or partial catalogue extract to a MS Excel spreadsheet.

update: HealthTracker Project Catalogue

Using our Document Control framework for cataloging records and documents of all forms, it made sense to track the various templates, records and guides for our HealthTracker project. HealthTracker dashboards are also included for participants in the project, although these use the secRecord control record type, and are only visible in the catalogue when users sign-on.

update: Catalogue Document Search

With the new Catalogue being populated at a steady pace, we thought it was time to provide a cross-section View to facilitate document and record tracking. We found this difficult to do with the View / QuickTabs combo used in our standard catalogue structure (ie. propagating a scope / sort change in one Tab across all Tabs of the catalogue.

update: NewsCorner Catalogue

We've just replaced the (poorly maintained) NewsCorner Index with dedicated catalogue in the DCS Catalogue (under Quality Team Documents).  It is fully up-to-date and will be far easier to maintain in future.  Read more about mult-tier catalogues in our Blog on Web Design.

update: Master Catalogue added to Documents Menu

We're starting to gain some momentum with building a model for Document Control System and Integrated Catalogue.  In keeping with our open approach to demonstrating the mechanics of our projects, we have added the Master Catalogue to our Documents Menu.

Whilst it is not necessary to to fully populate the Catalogue, we will actively build "live" entries from a combination of new site documents of all types, as well as existing blocks of documents that we will gradually migrate across.

update: Changed Menu header pages

This is a minor change to enhance the Main Menu header pages, to extend our standard navigation blocks,  This should provide both greater consistency across the site, as well as provide greater ease of locating other pages, articles, documents and indexes.

update: Added Cloud Resources Index

As a part of our ongoing quest to demystify Cloud technology through practical projects (eg. our Document Control Catalogue), we have started off a Resources Index for Cloud Storage and Services providers.  Our intention is to add links to other resources and training providers (free or paid).

update: New Catalogue Design

Our web team is working on a variation of our Views based registers to model Document Control system built into a hierarchically structured Catalogue.  The entry point for the system is the Master Catalogue, and the initial edition is available for readers to review and provided feedback.  See the feedback form in our most recent article, Building a Cloud based Document Control System to post comments and suggestions.

update: Enhanced teasers

We've enhanced all the article teasers by allowing a small imbedded thumbnail. The site has been designed to be sparse with graphics on the front page. Where we use front page graphics, they should all be consistent in size and alignment.
We have a blog on our site design, where we continue to review and discuss the evolving Drupal technology and modules, as well as possible enhancements.

update: Dashboard Visibility

We've now made the live Healthtracker Dashboards (and Reports) internal, meaning that only logged-in users nd members will see them on the Dashboards Register. This is what you would expect on an extranet site and training portal, where the site infrastructure and page-type filtering can be used to publicise selected content only.

Having said that, we will continue to update the sample tracker dashboard, to reflect any enhancements to the healthtracker tool and its reports.
