Items short view configuration

It is possible to add some additional, entity-type-based metadata to the default short view of DSpace-CRIS objects.

The default view of entities, in this example, a publication, is rendered in this way:

with angular configuration file (config.yml) it is possible to add metadata. Property to be configured is searchResult.additionalMetadataFields which is a map having the lowercase entity type (“publication”, “person”,…) plus “fallback” as default as key and a list of attributes as value.

Attributes are:

• name (Mandatory): name of the additional metadata to be rendered. NB: they are rendered only if set with a value.

• rendering (Mandatory): rendering to be applied, rendering type acts as defined in Layout and data security configuration tool page, available rendering types are:

  • text

  • crisref

  • link

  • link.email

  • identifier.<identifiertype>

  • valuepair.<valuepairtype>

  • date

• label : label to be put close to metadata value, it can be an hard coded text or a key translated in i18n files

• prefix: Text to be prefixed to rendered value

• suffix: Text to be added after rendered value

• limitTo: in case of repeatable metadata rendered, the number of occurrences to be displayed

• startFromLast (boolean, default false): when set, in case of repeatable metadata rendered, the list of displayed occurrences start from last one.

Following is a configuration example defining additional metadata to be displayed for publications, and a default “fallback” set of additional metadata to be displayed in all other DSpace-CRIS objects short views

searchResult:
  additionalMetadataFields:
    - entityType: publication
      metadataConfiguration:
        - name: dc.relation.journal
          rendering: text
          label: Journal
        - name: dc.relation.issn
          rendering: text
          label: ISSN
        - name: dc.identifier.doi
          rendering: identifier.doi
          label: DOI
    - entityType: fallback  # used for other entity types
      metadataConfiguration:
        - name: dc.identifier.doi
          rendering: text

With above configuration, system would render publication metadata in following way:
