Who-Is-Online: Advanced Settings
Page Overview
[Hide]1 Requirements
Requirements, originally from Who-Is-Online: Usability Improvements and Advanced Options (which have been suggested for 5.2 in time).
1. Popup-Deactivation
Popup-deactivation of Who is Online
- There should be a possibilty to deactivate the Who is Online - popup in the administration panel of the awareness-tool.
- There should also be a possibility to individually block the awareness - information (Suggestion: Personal Desktop » Setting » General Settings). So if a user is just not interested in who else is online he isn't bothered with that information, even if the tool has been activated by the ILIAS administration.
There should be a Privacy setting to set the default state of new users Settings for ILIAS-Admin to define the default state of new users,
- Default-value of "Hide Me From ‘Who is online?’-Tool
1.1 Step 1, Suggestion for ILIAS 5.2 (Alex Killing, 23 Aug 2016)
First I quote the JF from June 20, 2016: "...Additionally, we would like to use the notification configuration (see http://www.ilias.de/docu/goto_docu_pg_57146_42.html) to administrate the available channels and defaults for the several communication channels.", see Who-Is-Online: Usability Improvements and Advanced Options.
The general notification configuration service will not come with 5.2 (Databay will not have the resources until 26.Aug, see FW page above). I do not recommend to implement everything that is supported by the notification configuration service for the who-is-online tool separately now. I suggest to only implement one single option in the who-is-online administration that (de)activates the on-screen-display notifications globally for 5.2. The other options/user settings should come with 5.3 with the general notification service as base.

3 Discussion
Kunkel, Matthias [mkunkel], August 23. 2016: If the originally suggested notification configuration service cannot make it into 5.2 due to missing ressources, a general setting to enable and disable OSD for the Who-is-online? tool is highly appreciated. It will allow some more institutions to use the Who-is-online? tool without annoying their users. After consulting the responsible maintainer, I schedule this feature for 5.2. Nevertheless, it would be nice if we could have a notification configuration service for users in an upcoming version.
Killing, Alexander [alex], 24 Aug, 2016: Ready for approval at https://github.com/leifos-gmbh/ILIAS/tree/5_2_awareness_osd.
Hesse, Joel [Joel_Hesse] The data protection officer in three companies i know now, voted to change the default opt-out to opt-in. (default: "hide my status in Who is online".
