MetacatUI

General Impressions
- Filter dialog better to be fully expanded, otherwise it may go unnoticed;
without the filter dialog expanded, the user does not see search term/
phrase.
I originally had the Filters sidebar collapsed so that the map wouldn't be so cluttered, but since a couple people have suggested this I will have it expanded upon page load

- "Share your data" link on search result page seems out of place; best
      from home page and main title bar.

This has been suggested by a couple people now and I agree so I'll remove it. Ticket 6360

- Display of search results on top of map makes map seem cluttered.
- Main title bar obscures some map markers and popup information.
Searching with term "lter"
- Map does not always render during search (see attachment lter-1); this
seemed to become consistent after extensive searches for "lter".
I'll ask for error details on this since I can't seem to reproduce it

- Map will change view when hovering over search result (search for "lter"
and then select map marker for #3 results in Idaho - see attachments
idaho-1 and idaho-2); this artifact seems to happen when zooming into
a map marker that has more than one data package available.

This is the same issue Corrina was experiencing and has been resolved

- Selecting map marker for #3 results in Idaho display results indicating
1 to 3 of 3 data packages, but the list displays greater than 3 (I
believe all 214; see attachment idaho-3).

It looks like the list wasn't cleared before a new search - I will try to recreate to find the issue

- Many data packages in search results for "lter" do not appear to be
related to LTER or have the term (even sub-term) "lter" in the displayed
metadata - see 13 data package off coast of Washington in the Puget
Sound.

The search is picking up 'lter' from the word 'Alternate'. We can search for full words only, but I think it is valuable to allow a partial word search

- Map page becomes non-responsive; perhaps too many clicks on controls
leads to a extensive latency.top
- Current knb.ecoinformatics.org site returns 8064 data packages for full
"lter" search or 7209 from title/abstract/...; new site returns only 214.

We have many LTER packages to index in Solr

Metadata Presentation
- Empty boxes better to state "no-content" or "content not available"; the
empty box by it self leaves one to wonder if content does exist, but
did not display for technical reasons.
There is a ticket in Metacat to alter the xls file for non-existent data attributes

- Download button at top of page only downloads EML metadata (and system metadata) without the
      data entity(s); I made the assumption that the complete data package
      would be zipped and downloaded; inflated zip file has directory called
      "data", which I would have assumed to hold the data entity.
Some packages only contain metadata. Hopefully this will be more clear when I add a list of all downloadable files to the top of the Metadata view, similar to ONEMercury
