Upcoming Features
We always strive to contribute back to the open source community. The Feedback box is our feature request system. You can suggest new ideas, vote on existing ones, and track our progress. Please note that unless specified otherwise, we cannot make any promises on if or when a specific feature will be implemented.
Each month you get 10 votes to distribute. You can choose to use all your votes for one idea you really like, or spread them across several ideas.
Thank you for your suggestions, votes, and feedback!
Package multiple images for download
Our biggest need is for the package feature to download multiple images. We still have faculty who can’t get away from Powerpoint, etc. MDID3 is wonderful and has a much better ”look”, but I cannot upgrade to MDID3 until that is available. And I really want to upgrade to be able to store pdfs!
Controlled Vocabulary Lists
Improve the record cataloging feature by adding support for controlled vocabulary lists. Development of this feature is sponsored by Archivision, Inc.
Shared Collections
At the University of Washington, shared MDID collections are critical. We are currently using MDID2 because of this. We would like to see this feature in MDID3 as soon as possible.
Development of this feature is sponsored by James Madison University.
Metadata Copying
Add a feature to facilitate easy copying of metadata from one record to one or more other records. Development of this feature is sponsored by Archivision, Inc.
Work and Image Records
Add the ability to search for works and to collapse all available image records under each work. Development of this feature is sponsored by Archivision, Inc.
Make internal access statistics available
MDID3 is already keeping track of the number of user logins, image views and downloads, etc., but the information is not accessible through the web interface.
