Redesign site map

From PTAGISWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

The current flash-driven site map looks like this: Image:old-site-map.png

The map is composed of two flash components that try to communicate to each other and don't always get it right. It is possible to click on a site in the left menu and get a report for a different site in the right pane. Also the map doesn't load automatically at first visit, making it necessary to go through the steps of

  • click on a site category
  • click on a site
  • click on view reports for that site
  • click on view map for that site

The large number of sites also presents a problem to users trying to browse.

Category redesign

One way to ease the task of browsing is to have more categories with fewer sites in each category.

Current categories

  • Tagging/Release/Recapture
  • Juvenile interrogation
  • Adult interrogation
  • Separation by code

Possible new categories based on activity type

  • Tagging
  • Release
  • Recapture
  • Interrogation traps
  • In-stream interrogation
  • Acclimation pond interrogation
  • Juvenile collection facility interrogation
  • Adult ladder interrogation
  • Trawl interrogation
  • Separation by code

Other high-level categories for browsing:

  • HUC (hydrologic unit code)
  • RKM (river kilometer)
  • site name
  • activity type (as listed above)
