STAC 3 Collaboration Meeting Summary 10/12/2025

STAC 3 Collaboration Meeting Summary 10/12/2025

Overview

Notification Multi-Select Bug

· Issue: When using Shift to select multiple notifications on the My Notification Screen, scrolling down causes earlier selections to drop.

· Status: Rafael confirmed this is a bug and will be corrected in version RC-3.

User Calendar Visibility

· Request: Ability for users to view other users’ calendars.

· Status: Not included in the upcoming release; planned for the following release.

Charge Tab Behavior & Reordering

Drag-and-Drop Reorder

· Issue: Users must first select a charge entry before the hamburger menu will allow drag-to-reorder.

· Status: This is current expected behavior, but CIP will review for more intuitive use.

Automatic Recount on Delete

· STAC 3 will auto-renumber remaining charges only if the “Recount sequence numbers” configuration (from STAC 2) is enabled.

· Confirmed: Auto-recount works for deletions.

Reordering After Single Disposition

· Issue: Reordering does not occur automatically after a single disposition.

· Status: CIP acknowledged and will investigate.

Image Tab – Content Type Field

· STAC 2 contains a “Content Type” field showing types (e.g., application/pdf,).

· Decision: Field will not be brought into STAC 3 as the metadata is technical and not helpful for end-users.

PDF Concatenation Workflow

· Request: Ability to select multiple documents and open/view them as a single combined PDF (without creating a new image record), as in STAC 2.

· Status: STAC 3 only supports concatenation by creating a new image. CIP will reassess need based on attorney workflows.

Single Defendant Consolidation Terminology

· Issue: Users are confused because STAC 3 shows “Linked”, not “Consolidated,” for single-defendant consolidation.

· Discussion:

o Naming mirrors STAC 2.

o Technical differences explained (single-defendant vs. multi-defendant consolidation).

o Group acknowledged user confusion.

o Attorneys commonly still refer to this action as “consolidation.”

· Gracie will open a Helpdesk community topic to gather naming feedback; CIP will review.

Disposition Workflow for Consolidated Cases

· Update: STAC 3 now handles all main-case/defendant-letter selection on one screen (streamlining a two-step process from STAC 2).

· Backend logic: Disposition processes remain unchanged.

Upcoming Release

· Target release: Friday 11/14/2025 (pending final testing).

· Major changes:

o Score sheet updates for both STAC 2 and STAC 3.

o Additional STAC 3 UI changes to be discussed at next collab meeting.

Upgrade Process Feedback

· Agency provided positive feedback for STAC 3 updates are quick.

· Rafael clarified that upgrades are fast because STAC 3 currently does not require a database upgrade.

· Future work underway to streamline eventual database-based upgrades.


Questions & Answers

Q: Why does Shift-selecting notifications lose the selection when scrolling?

A: This is a known bug in the notification module. CIP will investigate and implement a fix in version RC-3


Q: When will users be able to view other users’ calendars?

A: Not in the next release. Scheduled for the following release cycle.


Q: Why doesn’t drag-and-drop reordering work unless a charge is selected first?

A: STAC 3 currently requires selecting the row before using the hamburger menu. CIP will explore making the hamburger click auto-select to improve usability.


Q: Should charges renumber after deleting or disposing a charge?

A:

· Deletes: Yes, if the STAC 2 “Recount sequence numbers” configuration is enabled.

· Single Disposition: Not currently renumbering CIP confirmed this needs correction.


Q: What happened to the ‘Content Type’ field in the Image Tab?

A: It will not be included in STAC 3 because types do not offer meaningful information to users.


Q: Will STAC 3 support viewing multiple documents as one combined PDF (without creating a new image)?

A: CIP will evaluate the request. Current functionality only concatenates by creating a new image record.


Q: Why does Single Defendant Consolidation show as “Linked” instead of “Consolidated”?

A:

· The behavior mirrors STAC 2.

· Single-defendant consolidation is technically different from multi-defendant consolidation (records are not merged the same way).

· CIP is open to naming suggestions; a community post will gather user feedback.


Q: Has the disposition workflow changed for consolidated cases?

A:

· The process was simplified: main-case and defendant-letter choices now occur on one screen.

· The underlying logic remains unchanged from STAC 2.


Q: What is included in the next release?

A:

  1. Score sheet changes for both STAC 2 and STAC 3.
  2. New Hotkeys and display of shortcuts when ALT is selected
  3. Improvements to the Deposition Module
  4. Bug fixes for merging documents and variables
  5. Additional STAC 3 UI updates to be explained at the next collaboration meeting.
