4.60 - Quality of life update

Flags configuration: empty / not empty values

Flags on closed lists are now easier to configure.

For example, if you want to flag special issue articles, regardless of the special issue, you can do so by selecting "Any value" in the configuration:

Conversely, "No value selected" will flag articles where no special issue has been specified.

 

Fixing flags according to profiles

By default, configured flags were always visible, to all editors. This proved clumsy, because sometimes editors do not see to the flagged data (more information on article visibility here).

For example, let us take a custom field used for administrative purposes, which is masked to scientific editors:

Searching editors with advanced search

It is now easier to look for editors with the advanced search. Instead of having to write names, Nestor will now propose the closed list of editors relevant to the selected criteria. This will prevent typos and missed searches.

Easier configuration of file types / custom fields

When configuring these, articles types and profiles are now directly visible and can be linked properly.
