[Bug 1607745] [NEW] Choose page when uploading / creating evidence

 

Public bug reported:

When users want to create a portfolio for assessment purposes for
example, and need to put all their evidence for 1 competency standard on
a page, it can be cumbersome to find that evidence. They can use the tag
search to find the evidence, but then need to go to the actual page in
order to add it to the page. Being able to specify the page directly
would help also for mobile uploads and streamline the portfolio creation
process.

The idea had come up to add all evidence tagged with a particular tag to
a specific page automatically. This could be problematic though because
at some point users may not want more evidence added, or they had
removed specific evidence explicitely from the page and don't want it to
come back. Also when the page has been layed out already, adding
evidence automatically wouldn't be so good.

There are a couple of other possibilities:

1. Have a bulk option in the tag search so you can select the artefacts
that you wish to add to a particular page.

2. Have a field similar to the tag search where you can select the
page(s) to which you want to add the evidence that you are currently
viewing.
