- Reports are / should be printer friendly (you may print the page directly, irrelevant bits won't be printed). That would allow you to generate a PDF of a Report if you can print to PDF.

Known issues
- Accessing the reports might break in IE8+ with an error on the like of "[Internal error] Missing param. IE is to blame for once! You need to add:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge" />
at the top of your template(s) (right under the <head> tag) - This will force IE to behave... - REF Selection workflow/validation: make sure 'addditional info' and similar fields have their number of chars. checked. If they're too long, need to show a warning to the user
- need to validate every field's length
- v1.2.2 on Bazaar: admins/editors who are not UoA Champions might not see the ref2 report on the Overview screen. Need to add to zz_ref.pl:
push @{$c->{user_roles}->{editor}}, 'ref/view/ref2'; push @{$c->{user_roles}->{admin}}, 'ref/view/ref2';
- Need to update the REF Selection object (eprint_title field) when an EPrint is committed and its title has changed.
- Report->ref_fields() is called for each object it's exporting - need to cache the fields
- Minor bug: go to someone's profile, click [REF UoA Champion], click [Save] or [Cancel], EPrints redirects to the current user's profile.
- Listing: searches don't include "editors" as well as "authors" (needed for book/book sections)
Upcoming features
- Bug fixes & improvements on the data validation (this is a continuous task...)
- Exporter to Excel (that is to say that produces a XLS file, not CSV). Will require extra PERL modules to be installed on the repository server.
- Improved way to match users to eprints via author id
- Support for REF4
