In this release:
New & Improved Features
Fixity check automation
- A full process for automated fixity reports has been built out, including automatic dispatching of fixity report emails and processes for quickly identifying and fixing files for failed fixity reports.
Checksums
- Updates have been made to the checksum workflow at deposit to ensure client-side checksumming at deposit. The frontend implementation computes and parameterizes deposits for easy cross-checking with manifests.
User types
- A new user type, “read only,” has been configured to allow some users to view collections, the dashboard, and reports– but not create collections and folders or deposit content.
Deleting collections
- Users with the ability to create collections can now delete already-created collections.
UI improvements
- Improvements have been made to the statistics card on the Dashboard page to more clearly reflect the number of locations per collection.
- A few other text and label changes were also made across the Dashboard.
