Visibility Toggle and Scheduling

To allow for manual setting of visibility, as well as the ability to schedule this visibility in advance.

Usability considerations

  • The use of new icons should be avoided.
  • Colors should serve as differentiators only where they differ in both hue and value.
  • Visual cues that include descriptive text should be preferred (accessibility).
  • In the case of hiding a resource, potential consequences (if any) for attachments elsewhere should be made clear.

Style Guide considerations

http://cvs.sakaiproject.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/%7echeckout%7e/scratch/styleguide/resources/styleguide-15.pdf

  • see "Hierarchical List View" (p. 5)
  • see "Forms View" (p. 15)
  • see "Date Entry UI Component" (p. 31)

Main Screen (Resources Listing)

  • Resources currently hidden from student view will be greyed out.
  • The ability to show/hide/schedule resources is reached through either the "Add" or "Revise"(Edit?) screens (see below).

Add Screen

This screen is reached by clicking on the "Add" action link of a container folder. The new functionality is represented in the "Availability" section below.

I've cheated a little in tightening up some of the vertical spacing between items listed in the page above. Is there any chance of tweaking this while we're working on the page?

Edit (Revise?) Screen

This screen is reached by clicking on the "Revise" action link of a resource item. The new functionality is represented in the "Availability" section below.

Discussion of the date widget is linked here:
