Enable resource metadata Date field to be displayed in different date formats

Currently, the preferred data format is based on ISO 8601, is a standardized way to represent dates and times, typically in the format YYYY-MM-DD for dates. The Date field does allow any text date to be entered, but any other format cannot be used to filter by dates in the site search. Allow an org to choose a different display format for dates entered using the standard format. For example, if the data entered is 2025-01-01, the org might instead preferred these dates displayed as January 1, 2025 in the resource detail screen.

Bulk edit 'status' in OHMS

It would be useful to be able to bulk update the interview status (Pending, Ready for QC, Complete, etc.) by clicking multiple checkboxes and using Bulk Edit Options under "Table Options”. It’s possible to do something similar and bulk update OHMS user assignments, so a similar workflow with a dropdown menu with status options would be great. Alternatively, (or additionally!) it would be great to have a status dropdown in the table, similar to how there is a dropdown for OHMS user assignments. Right now, it’s cumbersome to update lots of statuses at once because you have to open each interview’s indexing page, then return to the search. Thanks!

Audit/Activity log accessible via the API

See Google Group discussion at https://groups.google.com/g/aviary-users/c/KipHqoFvZ0Q The gist. We’re looking to use the contents of the audit/activity log to indicate updated or new content as part of a preservation workflow (the workflow: content flows into the curation environment, Aviary, then into a preservation environment). The API features: GET request for all audit data with paginated results as sort by timestamp descending Desirable, filter by begin/end date Desirable, filter by ID

Make it easier to Access access request for limited times instead of ongoing

When an administrator is servicing an access-request, the screen that the administrator goes to displays a big “Accept” button that grants unlimited access. This is not the desired behavior. Granting time-based access is the typically required action; which is several clicks away from the default access screen. It would be helpful if administrators had more control over default screen for access requests.

Support transcript captions with line breaks

According to most captioning guidelines, a single line of text in a caption should generally be no more than 30-35 characters. Most recommendations aim for a maximum of 1-2 lines per caption, ensuring readability and comfortable fit within the screen space. This is not currently supported in Aviary. Each transcript segment does not contain any line breaks and any line breaks included in a transcript import are normally ignored by Aviary. Allow a user to import a VTT or SRT caption into Aviary and display the precise number of lines and characters as created in the imported file. Provide a caption creator/editor that supports the creation of captions as distinct from transcripts.

Allow resources to belong to more than 1 collection/subdividing a collection

We have some collections which would benefit from the ability of resources to be subdivided further. For example, fonds of an archives. Playlists are the current method to do this, however, are not that visible to a user. It would be beneficial to either allow resources to live in multiple collections, or to allow collections to be subdivided in some way (e.g. through a filer or facet, accessible from the collection detail page)
