[OJS3.1.1.0] Revision requested status not showing in editorial dashboard quick preview

Hi!
After upgrading from OJS 3.1.0 to 3.1.1, a Quick preview of article status for “Revisions have been requested” is not visible for editorial dashboard as shown in ss below-
revision%20requested
In this screenshot example article id 432 was requested for revision but status preview with triangle is not available on the editorial dashboard. However, when I logged in as the author of this article, status preview as expected visible on author dashboard.

The status messages will only be shown to users who need to act on them. So only the author will see the Revisions Requested message in the submissions list.

Hi!
Thanks! I thought editor can also see the status as it was available to editor dashbord in previous version.
Thanks

Hi all,

First, thank you @NateWr o explain the behavior. We are using the latest OJS 3.1.2-4 and noticed this behavior. Looks like it has been designed and implemented that way.

But I would still like to ask to change it and show this info either in the editorial dashboard or on the submission itself. Right know that inf is visible only in the Editorial history. So the editor has to open the submission, check the Editorial history and only then he/she sees the status of the submission and not requesting revisions again.

I hope you understand the problem. I would kindly ask you for your opinion on it. Not to mention woudl be very happy to have that implemented in some way

Regards, Primož

HI @primozs,

We’ve had some UI/UX discussion about this and I think it’s safe to say that better visibility into the review stage is an important improvement. We don’t have dedicated work on this scheduled at this time, but you can follow some of the discussion that’s been had here:

Improve visualisation of review stage status

Major Feature

**As an** editor **I want** to get a rough sense of a submission's progress thr…ough peer review _at-a-glance_ **so that** I can more easily manage and track a large number of submissions, and compare their progress quickly. This issue builds on UI/UX feedback and discussions in https://github.com/pkp/pkp-lib/issues/4103 and https://github.com/pkp/pkp-lib/issues/1662, which highlight the desire for more fine-grained status reporting from the submissions list. Most of this feedback focuses on the Review stage and it is the stage with the fewest technical obstacles to providing more fine-grained status. Within the review stage we have the following indicators we can use to signal progress: - How many reviewers are assigned in the current round - How many reviewers have accepted/declined in the current round - How many reviewers have completed their review in the current round - Has a request revisions editorial decision been made since the current round was initiaited - Have revisions been submitted since the last editorial decision was made - How many review rounds have been initiated - How many days a submission has been in a review round or the whole review stage Figuring out how best to represent progress will require some experimentation. We discussed the possibility of using a progress bar, which would give a very quick comparison but lacks detail about why a particular progress level is calculated. This could maybe be compensated with information it the dropdown display. A dot-system has been proposed at https://github.com/pkp/pkp-lib/issues/4103 with the caveat that interpretation of the dots be difficult without specific training. I have assigned this to the 3.2 milestone because it was considered a high priority for UI/UX improvements. However, because that milestone is already overloaded this shouldn't be taken as a promise that it will make the deadline.

One of our editors writes:
“it would be so useful to have a status for each article that comes up in the initial list of submissions - eg awaiting review, awaiting editor decision, author revising, etc.”
