Enhance typical NOMAD workflows before public release

We want to present NOMAD v1 in video tutorials mid Feb 2022. This will show-case how to use NOMAD for typical workflows: publishing data, using the new search, exploring archive and metainfo. There are still a lot of smaller issues performing these workflows

This is a long list of issues. It probably has to be broken down into smaller issues.

  • beta release with link on the nomad-lab.eu page; also needs a link to the test upload installation

publish data

  • editing metadata is still the old version
  • cannot create datasets explicitly?
  • error on loading the datasets page
  • edit members dialog improve text
  • edit members dialog typing "Claudia" makes the options disappear
  • edit members: members table is inset
  • edit members: can change co-authors after publish
  • edit members: API does not allow to alter reviewers after publish (API error is not rendered very well)
  • deleting and upload might not correctly lead you back to the uploads list (Check the loop)
  • uploads page download button does not work
  • [ignored] better and consistent placement of "create" buttons
  • [ignored] move/add shell upload to upload page
  • UploadsPage: order of uploads
  • UploadPage: download does not work
  • UploadPage: paddings
  • DatasetPage: Can be deleted if it is empty (Should be handled also in API)
  • UploadPage: Sometimes publish does not work (It depends on the contents of the files)
  • UploadPage: Edit button for published uploads
  • UploadPage(Metadata Dialog): Disable delete button for datasets with DOI
  • The edit button on the processing table says "manage upload members" it should be "edit author metadata"
  • When we say metadata on the uploads page, it usually should say "author metadata". We use "author metadata" to denote the sub-set of entry metadata that can be changed by authors.
  • Currently you can assign a DOI for datasets with unpublished (or no entries) in it. This is a problem with the API and the GUI.
  • If entries have a dataset with DOI, I can't add another dataset. The api complains that we try to change the existing DOI dataset
  • The validator for references is not proper. Some lib to parse urls should be used. Currently I can add not§a&domain/invalid??& as a reference.
  • The entries table says n search results. It should say n entr(y|ies) in the upload.
  • default sort order uploads page
  • do not scroll down on upload page
  • opening the edit on https://nomad-lab.eu/prod/v1/gui/user/uploads/upload/id/u08bpKUoRyGU6x0-nDCqyA causes an error
  • the datasets have no pagination
  • edit dialog does not show datasets without typing something
  • [ignored] edit dialog shows all datasets not just owned ones
  • [ignored] need to show datasets of all authors in upload edit dialog
  • [ignored] api might allow to change entries of non owned datasets?
  • there is no confirm on publish
  • lots of react warnings on the upload page
  • metadata edit: you cannot remove->commit, add->commit a dataset (#730 (closed))
  • there is no members invite on the manage upload members dialog
  • invalid dates on some datasets

explore

  • no 1d, 2d, or surfaces exist .. probably a processing issue?
  • formula suggestions are not enough? Cannot search NaCl for example (see issue #718 (closed))
  • enhanced rendering of space group symbol (not modified for now: would introduce a discrepancy between filter value and rendered value)
  • only one EELS entry
  • eels processing does not add the eels authors as origin
  • remove not processed from enum values (e.g. functional)
  • add search for exact functional name
  • there are no workflow information in the filters (add simple checkboxes for workflows)
  • authors statistic should only show "<main_author>" until we have better solution (instead we should disable statistics for authors for now)
  • [ignored] better/fixed layout for entry details
  • [ignored] long dataset names on entry details (same on entry page)
  • don't show relaxation trajectory if only the final result is present (currently hidden in GUI only, needs another issue to track the root cause)
  • API button with dialog on certain example scripts; search and entry overview
  • The edit dialog source code should be moved from entry to upload source directory.
  • replace the "Material Encyclopedia" menu entry with a link to the old Encyclopedia. The materials search is not yet mature enough; the index is still somewhat messed up
  • workflow aggs are toooo slow
  • there is a random uncaught (global boundary) javascript error when you clicked enough checkboxes

The line numbers are not totally accurate due to minification. But they make somewhat sense.

  • opening another filter menu while the old one is still running a request causes a caught (error snack) javascript error, after this now filter menue is showing anything until you reload the page
  • all entry_ids and upload_ids in the UI should be links (similar to datasets)
  • "only compositions with these elements"-checkbox is not working, #731 (closed)

archive

  • no vector notation for string/label lists
  • vector notation leaves space for additional row
  • [ignored] select "all defined" as a default?
  • archive browser search should be similar to archive filter
  • "view data in archive" buttons do not use the right router path and users leave the search entry route
  • don't use the "archive" label and use "processed data" instead?
  • API button with dialog on certain example scripts (could also use one on raw files)
  • [ignored] this is getting to special, at least there is a proper message: authors break the browser
  • functional_types in results.material break the browser
  • springer classification break the browser
