Description:
An item is a different word for a file that can hold a variety of information such as text, images, documents and youtube videos. Items are organized under categories and can easily be moved between different categories.
Any user on the system can share other people's public items and re-organize them under their own account, although only the creator of the item has the power to edit/delete that item as well as delete comments relating to that item.
Each item is structured in the following manner:
- A top bar lists the title of the item, the creator of the item, the date and time of the creation or the latest modification, as well the number of comments, the number of users who shares the item and the number of views. The share button as well as the print view button is also located in this bar.
- The text appears in the middle section and if there are photos, documents or videos, they appear as thumbnails to the left. The photo/video/document that is accessed appears to the right in the item.
Flow/editing:
To create an item you utilize the box in the right navigation called "Create Categories and Items." In order to create an item you first click on a category to organize the item under and work with it in the box to the right. Once you click "Create Item" you can add text, images, videos and documents in an interface. To further edit an item you access it in the top bar of the actual item where it says "edit item", and not in the admin box to the right.
Differences:
The concept of an item that can hold various sorts of information is different from most applications, as well as the fact that items are completely structured in relation to categories. Items are free in a sense, since they can easily be moved and shared - the fact that other user's can literally share public items is something we haven't seen elsewhere.
The method for creating and managing items is unique and it does demand that the user familiarizes themselves with this method.
Feedback:
Please provide your perspective on items, the methods of managing them and possible changes and improvements.
