"Inactive" as a feature (enhanced search)

Open saracarl opened this issue 9 months ago • 0 comments

We currently have a "make inactive" as a setting in collection settings; it basically makes a collection's works "read only". You can still read, leave comments, and search the collection.

It's used in 3 ways:

  • customers use it to turn off transcription but still leave the collection readable
  • "researcher" level accounts can only have 1 active collection, so they inactivate a collection so they can create a new one.
  • when any account cancels, we change their account type to a trial and inactivate all of their collections (one by one)

I'd like to split this functionality into 2: "read only" and "inactivate".

The first two scenarios should be changed to "read only" in the UI; see #4075. "Read only" collections should be readable, commentable, and searchable.

The third scenario should be "inactive", and that should be an admin side setting that lets us inactivate all of a user's collections at once. Inactive collections should be readable, commentable but not searchable. See #2991 and #2240 (We'll need a way to turn them all on again, too.)

Both state should be marked in the UI at the collection level and in views like the tagged project view as either "read only" or "inactive" (the second implies the customer isn't paying attention anymore.)

As we invest more in search, we'll need this implemented.
