Using Issues for Quality Control

EPrints 3.1 introduces a new feature to assist with the quality control process.

EPrints can automatically identify potential issues with an item and bring them to the attention of the repository editor or administrator.

This page describes how issues are shown in the Web UI and how the process of identifying issues works behind the scenes.

The Issues Interface

An issues count appears on the Details tab of the item control page.

A new Issues tab appears on the item control page.

Selecting this tab will list any issues identified with the item.
