[Kotahi] Updates to the Control panel and Form builder

[Ryan Dix-Peek]

Hi everyone,

Here are two updates from the past week;
-------------------------------------------------------
*Workflow, Manuscript text and Metadata specific views added to the Control
panel*

This week we've decoupled the 'Submission form' and 'Manuscript text' views
as follows;

   - *Workflow;* the editorial can send email notifications, assign
   editors, manage reviewers, capture peer review feedback ('Recommendations'
   and 'Decisions'), and publish articles.
   - *Manuscript **text; *is the Wax word processor used to edit content
   imported from MS Word.
   - *Metadata;* capturing, displaying or modifying submission form and
   publishing specific information.

This enhancement will improve the overall user experience and better serve
the organization of editor tools added to Kotahi moving forward.

-------------------------------------------------------
*Editorial team-specific Metadata can now be included in a submission form
and remain hidden from the author*

Aperture would like the Journal Manager to be able to view and edit
selective manuscript metadata. In this case, the journal volume (year) and
issue (number) need to be captured to register an article DOI with Crossref
before publishing.

In support of this use case, we've added an advanced setting in the form
builder allowing system administrators the ability to easily select a
yes/no checkbox to 'hide field from author'.

This flexible solution gives the editorial team the ability to include
additional metadata to use as required when publishing.
-------------------------------------------------------

Have a great weekend further!

Regards,
