At the request of the community, the minimum validity period for Coscine access tokens has been reduced to one day. Previously, it was one week.
All logged-in Coscine users can now access the status reporting portal via the “?” tab, where they can view potential fault reports relating to Coscine. This does not replace the banners on the platform that indicate restrictions but serves as an additional supplement with further information.
Users can now also delete their Coscine account themselves, provided they are not affiliated with a project. Explanations of this new feature can be found in the documentation.
The next live deployment will bring another new feature: a timestamp for the creation date of the project or resource will be added to the project and resource settings. This will help both Coscine users and the support team to classify problems or malfunctions in terms of time.
In addition, you may currently see more projects in Coscine than before. This is because subprojects of a deleted main project were no longer displayed but were not deleted in the background. This has now been fixed by the development team, so that subprojects are now displayed as main projects.
During the last consultation with the RDM staff at DH.NRW universities, a bug was also pointed out: it is currently not possible to delete folders. We will add a note to the Coscine documentation as soon as possible. In addition, the development team is already working intensively on a solution.
