Technical Requirements

The Dashboard is a web-based tool that is developed using Python-based Django MVC framework.

Functional Requirements

Release 0.7-alpha

1) Provide updates on the Archivematica processes by reading rows from the MCP 'Task' table in its MySQL dbase.

  • This will likely have to happen through some kind of polling by the Django app of the MySQL database.
  • One other implementation option we've discussed is having Archivematica publish a RSS/Atom feed that the Django app reads.

2) Interact with the the Archivematica API:

  1. getListOfJobsAwaitingApproval
  2. approveJob
  • i.e. at certain stages in the Archivematica workflow we will stop and await the explicit approval from an archivist to trigger the next series of Archivematica tasks. So somewhere in the Django Dashboard there will be a list of jobs awaiting approval (retrieved from the Archivematica API) and then the ability for an archivist to click a button thereby approving a job and notifiying Archivematica MCP of that action (again, via the Archivematica API).

Post release 0.7-alpha

  • create Accession Record & add appraisal metadata via Dashboard
  • API:
    • listActiveTasks
    • taskCompleteNotification
