Template:Case Study Inventory Row

Purpose

Three templates to be used together to form a table - specifically an inventory of case studies:

• {{Case Study Inventory Header}} - a header (starts the table)
• {{Case Study Inventory Header}} - a row in the table (include one or more of these)
• {{Case Study Inventory Footer}} - ends the table and shows the headers again for rows near the foot of a long table.

Only the second one {{Case Study Inventory Header}} takes parameters.

Usage

The template is not robust: when using it, specify each parameter, even if blank.

Parameters

title - title of the case study

url - one URL of the case study (or web site of project, etc.)

blurb - brief description

sector - public, private or civil (etc.)

domain - e.g. education, health, environment, public services, ...

aspects - aspects emphasised in the case study e.g. policy, economics, community building, community innovation, technical, ...

region - where the case is based geographically e.g. global, Europe, UK, France, ...

status - ready, wip, candidate, pass (these values will change the row colour, see {{FSCSstatus colour}})

value - learning value potential - e.g. high, medium, low (determine according to your needs)

priority - e.g. high, medium, low (determine according to your needs)

effort - effort required to adapt the case study to your needs e.g. low - all required materials are readily available under CC-BY-SA and we have willing collaborators

score - e.g. 1 .. 10 (determine according to your needs) - this is the column most likely to sort on.

Known Issues

It seems that long parameter entries (e.g. for 'blurb' above) need to be one long line. ??

Suggestions

Make this generic - table of anything. Challenge: dealing with custom columns.
