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

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.
