Prettier and mobile-ready(-er)

DMPTool Blog 2020-06-13

The latest DMPTool release is focused on making the tool more attractive and mobile-ready, AND more accessible (release notes). Continue reading for highlights and screenshots, or you can visit the live version of the tool for an improved user experience. Please report any issues via the helpdesk or GitHub issues.

After a thorough round of quality assurance testing, we’ll upgrade the DMPTool to the latest version of the Roadmap code in the coming weeks (v2.0.0 and blog news)…stay tuned. Some accessibility work will continue on the core codebase in the coming months.

Improved responsiveness

We made it easier to access the public pages and improved menu navigation on mobile and tablet devices (screenshots below).

Redesigned institutional branding banner

Organizational admins have the option to upload a logo that displays in the main branding banner for their local users (see example for UCSD users below; instructions for admins on Customizing your institutional profile). In connection with the changes to improve the responsiveness of the tool, we also redesigned the banner to accommodate the wide variety of logo shapes and sizes, in particular, large horizontal logos.
