Exported/Printed/Emailed Entries Sorting Incorrectly
April 20th, 2009Export/Print/Email: Sort order of entries when exported, printed or emailed does not match the sort order of those same entries displayed on screen prior to being exported/printed/emailed. Neither user’s preferred sort order (specified in User Profile) nor the Guide to Reference site’s default sort (i.e. title) is being applied to exported, printed or emailed entries at this time.
User List Type Ignored When Renaming
April 20th, 2009Manage My Lists – Rename – Edit List form: User list type selection is ignored when list is renamed. The renamed user list retains its original list type of “Personal,” viewable only by the user, or “Global,” viewable by all Guide to Reference users.
“Global” User Lists Converted to “Personal”
April 20th, 2009Add Selected Items to List form: User list type defaults to “Personal” on this form, even if the user list to which items are being added is already a “Global” list viewable by all Guide to Reference users. If the user doesn’t change type back to “Global,” then the “Global” list can unintentionally be converted to a “Personal” list viewable only by the user.
Narrowed Search Results Incomplete or Empty
April 20th, 2009Search Results – Narrow by Category: Narrowed search results are incomplete or empty if user navigates beyond first page of search results before applying a Narrow by Category filter.
