Medusa

The Medusa page of the Award document displays a graphical representation between one or more Proposal Development, Institutional Proposal and Award e-docs through the use of an expandable/collapsible tree view.  These allow for the viewing of parent/child/sibling relationships between linked e-docs.  Additionally, you are able to expand the view of summarized key information details about the document, view the notes associated with the document, and open the document from within the Medusa section.

Default Views:  By default, Proposal > Award is the initial view.  When there are no related documents to the currently-accessed Award document, the hierarchy is displayed as a single node.

Sort Order:  E-docs appear in the tree according to Document ID number in ascending order.

Visual Indicators

Folders & Branches:  Closed and open folder (with plus + and minus – symbols, respectively) appear for parent documents to indicate whether the children are displayed or not, and when they are displayed (open), branch connection points depict parent/child/sibling relationships accordingly.

 

Document Type / Module:  To the left of each ‘document type / document number’ listed in a Medusa tree view, there are different icons for each document type or module. 

 

  For example, an Award document is displayed with an icon that has a dollar sign symbol on a green background for improved relationship comprehension.
