  1. Separate metadata details in email templates

    It would be useful to have separate metadata tags for [Student First Name] and [Student Last Name], as some universities will list the student last name first in these emails.

  2. Update Merge Field Verbiage in Email Template Editor

    I LOVE having the ability to edit my own email templates! THANK YOU!

    To make these new screens more user-friendly, I have some suggestions for updating language for merge fields that the end-user can include in their templates.

    I have uploaded two image files that describe, in more detail, the request I have. Primarily, I want to request to distinguishing what exactly the merge fields are, and updating language slightly to more clearly define their intended use/output for the end-user.

    For example:
    1: Distinguishing in more detail the difference between the Admin and Primary Admin fields, and then more accurately…

  3. Configure Administrative Document requirements by degree type

    The Administrative Documents page is used to collect additional documents from students that are not directly related to the ETD submission process (e.g. Graduation exit surveys, approval forms, etc.). These documents can be made required or optional. However, some documents may be applicable to doctoral students but not masters, or vice-versa (e.g., Survey of Earned Doctorates).

    Consider allowing an Administrative Document to be required for Masters students only or for Doctoral students only.

  8. Create ETD Submission Windows

    We have very strict dates during which students can submit their thesis or dissertation each term. It would be nice to be able to set up submission start/end dates so that students can submit their ETD only during that term's submission window. However, students who already made a submission within the window but require additional changes outside that window, should be able to continue making updates until the admin approves the ETD.

  10. Leave Feedback Icon issues on a small screen

    I am currently using a laptop with a small screen, and frequently have two or more windows visible at one time. With the reduced window width, the leave feedback icon blocks part of the view of my application.

  11. ETD Admin Reports - Generate reports across multiple sites

    As an ETD primary administrator I would like to be able to manage reports across multiple sites at the same time. This means I could apply all report management options such as change report structure, naming, and running of reports easily by setting up the same report to run across multiple sites.

    *ETD administrators - please add your comments and suggestions for this type of report management so we can ensure to capture what best meets your needs. We welcome your feedback. *

  12. Add support for multiple authors of a dissertation

    ETD Administrator currently has a 1:1 relationship between submissions and authors. I have a need to associate multiple (2 or more) authors with a single dissertation.

  13. Assist in discovering relevant works, citations

    Add support for a citation networking tool that would aid me in my discovery and authoring process.

    • use filters to identify relevant citations
    • visualize citation network to show where my works are cited, what works are relevant to my studies
    • be able to export network information for standalone use

  14. "At A Glance" Summary Of ETD

    It would be helpful to have a feature that provides a bit more information than an abstract, so that I can determine if a dissertation or thesis is of interest to me without needing to read the entire publication.

    Would contain things like
    - chapter summaries
    - thumbnails of tables or figures
    - key components/details of the publication
