Make more Asset Fields searchable in Esploro
Several important asset fields are missing in the Esploro search function. Some of these fields may be required filters when creating logical sets for ongoing OAI publishing and all of them would be extremely useful for Esploro users in daily operations. It would be great if asset fields in general were made searchable in the system, similar to the way Alma works. Most of the fields are searchable in Analytics but this is not really an alternative to direct searching in Esploro (e.g. when there is a need to create logical sets for the automated OAI publishing.) Please see below for few examples:
- Suppress/Display Flags
- Status and dates (date type=published, in press etc)
- Files and Links Links (e.g. the ability to search for assets containing/not containg URLs or files attached)
- Attached files information (access rights, license, content type etc)
- Article Information (Peer reviewed y/n, Open access y/n)
- Content type/Classification fields (on Swepub tab for sites using this module)
- "Degree Awarded" field in ETD asset types
- "Project Type"
etc
