In the Document metadata section of the Reader page administration interface, ADMIN and PORTAL_ADMIN users can choose metadata to display in the following sections of the Reader page:
The Cover page, the Title bar, and Switch to relatives are currently beta features. At this time, they are only available to users with the BETA_USER role and then only if the Reader page improvements feature toggle is enabled.
- In the document's Cover page.
- In the Title bar, either as a static tag or as a Switch to relatives menu.
It is possible to add metadata as follows:
- Select metadata from the menu or create new metadata.
- For each metadata added to the list, select the cogwheel icon to open a drawer with options to configure its labels and behavior.
- If desired, select the tag icon to display the metadata in the Title bar or the switch icon to display the metadata as a Switch to relatives menu.
Modifying labels and behavior impacts the Homepage and Search page.
If no metadata is selected, only FT-generated metadata will be displayed.
It is possible to modify the order in which metadata tags appear in the Reader page by using the up and down arrows next to the cogwheel icon.
Known limitation when selecting metadata for the Switch to relatives feature
When selecting the switch icon next to more than one metadata, switching is possible if only one of the selected metadata is different between the two relatives.
Example
An administrator selects the switch icon next to the metadata ft:locale and version but not next to the metadata publicationDate.
Four documents share the same pivot metadata and have the following values:
Document | ft:locale | version | publicationDate |
Doc 1 | fr:FR | v1 | date 1 |
Doc 2 | fr:FR | v2 | date 2 |
Doc 3 | en:US | v1 | date 3 |
Doc 4 | en:US | v2 | date 4 |
Fluid Topics only displays menus for the metadata for which the switch icon is selected, i.e., ft:locale and version. All other metadata is not taken into account due to the known limitation described above. The resulting possible switches are as follows:
Doc 1 | Doc 2 | Doc 3 | Doc 4 | |
Doc 1 | Same | OK | OK | |
Doc 2 | OK | Same | OK | |
Doc 3 | OK | Same | OK | |
Doc 4 | OK | OK | Same |
- It is possible to switch from Doc 1 to Doc 2 because only the value for the version metadata is different.
- It is possible to switch from Doc 1 to Doc 3 because only the value for the ft:locale metadata is different.
- It is possible to switch from Doc 2 to Doc 4 because only the value for the ft:locale metadata is different.
- It is possible to switch from Doc 3 to Doc 4 because only the value for the version metadata is different.
If an administrator then selects the switch icon next to the metadata publicationDate, no menus are displayed because each document has two "dimensions" of potentially switchable metadata (ft:locale + publicationDate OR version + publicationDate). Fluid Topics supports no more than one dimension of switchable metadata.
