Top 3 things learned:
1. How to input data into ContentDM using a Google Worksheet
2. How to add funnels into reporting for Google Anayltics
3. When importing data from old WHILBR into Digital Whilbr, how to add extra
fields in ContentDM to keep track of the old record IDs.
4. How to add longitude an latitude to ContentDM and use it to plot data on a
Google Map
How to implement:
1. While we don't have to use Google Worksheets, we can use Excel to do the
same thing simply by adding a few javascript files.
2. By adding funnels in Google Analytics we can build reports for a specific
collection to see clearly the activity it is generating.
3. By adding an additional field on the collection table in ContentDM, we can
programmatically point users to the new record on the ContentDM website.
4. By adding an additional field on the collection table in ContentDM we can
programmatically plot locations using Google maps.
Additional learning: I also learned about some additional open source
resources that will allow us make the front page look nicer. Also, we went
through some of the XML coding and learning how to edit TMX files.
