Changes to faculty's VIVO entries are not consistently getting carried over to CCB's faculty pages.
Data point, January 2014: An emeritus VIVO page was changed, and the change showed up on member's CCB page pretty quickly (minutes? hours?). Change was the title.
Get data fields mapped
- From VIVO's fields to...
- Chem's faculty web page entry location.
Oliver asked BobM about this idea, 12/12/13:
What would it take to get a "map" showing me what data fields in VIVO (as seen by a faculty member) get mapped to which sections in Chemistry's faculty web pages?
Sort of like a DB's entity relationship diagram (ERD), I suppose. A screenshot of VIVO's fields pointing to a screenshot of a fully-filled faculty page, with arrows, may be a good way to do this.
Yet again today I ran into two instances where putting data in VIVO for someone did not show up where I expected it to show up in the faculty page. Having an ERD-type map indicating what is supposed to happen will help a lot to:
1) Ensure data is entered in the correct field in VIVO to get the intended result in the Chemistry faculty page.
2) Facilitate de-bugging in case there is a feed problem (to distinguish it from being a "wrong field" problem.
