Introduction

In Late-2015 a call was put out to the ReDBox user community requesting desirable features for the next release of ReDBox (version 1.9). The feature requests were collated and a survey was produced and distributed to the user community so that analysis and development efforts could be prioritised.

Results

The results of the survey prioritised the features in the following order:

1. Provide support for ORCIDs
2. Enhance RIF-CS output to support v1.6
3. Create a plugin for ReDBox and Mint to publish metadata to Proai
4. Modify forms so that a record doesn't need to be created before any values are filled.
5. Update ReDBox styles and Look and Feel
6. Upgrade to Solr 5 to improve search capabilities
7. Better support for research data storage
8. Bring Mint's functionality into ReDBox, removing the need for 2 separate web applications
9. Create an administration screen to report on storage and check integrity
10. Allow user to delete all records that are returned in a View
11. Allow Services to be created and edited via the User Interface
