Coscine Community
At the request of RDM staff, we have opened a Zenodo Community for Coscine. All documents, presentations, etc. relevant to Coscine are welcome to be uploaded to the community. Service Management will review submissions before adding them.
Folder deletion
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.
Subprojects
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.
Timestamp for the creation date of projects and resources
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.
Account deletion
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.
