firstPage and last page should be able to be entered in the fabrica form

[NelliTaller]

What is the problem that your suggestion solves?

Currently, when registering with the DOI, you have to use the XML workaround via the DOI form in order to enter the first page and last page.

What solution might meet your needs?

It would be very helpful if the form were expanded to include the fields “firstpage” and “lastpage.”

What alternatives have you tried or considered?

Currently, you have to create the DOI using the form and then edit the XML.

Is there anything else you would like to share?

Many users are nervous about working with XML. In addition, the order of the elements is relevant in relatedItem, which can easily lead to errors.
To minimize this risk, I suggest expanding the form so that the required information is entered in a structured manner.

What group(s) would benefit from your suggestion?

• DataCite members registering DOIs and metadata and administering accounts
• Developers building integrations with DataCite services
• Harvesters who index DataCite DOIs and metadata
• Individuals or institutions analyzing DataCite DOIs and metadata
• DataCite staff
• Other

If other group(s), please describe.

Hi @NelliTaller ! Thank you for this suggestion. We understand how this would be useful for users of the Fabrica form who might not want to work with XML. We’ve logged your feedback for consideration in future enhancements to the form and will update this thread with any questions or developments.
