[Bug 693308] Re: Import / Export to review in Trunk

 

Feedback:

Export:
* The default value in the selection box must be "Import Compatible Export" instead of "Export all Data"
* The load/save feature has a very bad useability. Especially when they are pre-defined export fields.

Import:
The useability is wrong too. The "CSV Options" must be part the the section "2. ". This section can always be visible (instead of only appearing when you have selected the file).

The CSV options must be foldable, like in the given mockup:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-client-web/+bug/693308/+attachment/1773378/+files/import_export.pdf

We should be able to load a wrong file (like the one in attachment that
has ";" as separator instead of ","), change the CSV options and
recompute the preview table.

Title:
  Import / Export to review in Trunk

Status in OpenObject Web Client:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Hello,

  The import/export tool must be reviewed completly in trunk in order to
  be easier to use. The main change is the "import compatible" option
  that allows to export any kind of data (including one2many, many2one,
  etc) and reimport the file after to update or create new data. The v5
  behaviour was unuseable at all.

  I already commited the changes in the server and GTK client to support
  this. Only the web client is remaining.

  Have a look at the attached PDF file for the useability of the two
  screens to review.

  Import Tool
  -----------

  The import tool must be simplified. We don't need to select the fields
  anymore, it will automatically take the columns defined by the first
  row of the .CSV file.

  When you select a file, the web client should make a preview of the
  first three rows. You can change the CSV options "field separator,
  field delimitor, encoding". Just display the columns as it, without
  any interpretation. (if they are ID or XML ID, just display the IDs).

  Export Tool
  -----------

  There is a real difference between the normal mode and the "Import
  Compatible" mode.

  If you set the import compatible mode:
  1. For every field:
    - many2one: just display two children: id and .id
    - many2many: just display this field without children
    - one2many: normal behaviour
  2. When you export, put the name of the fields in the first columns, and not their label. (example: partner_id/id)

  If you don't set the import compatible mode. For every:
  1. For every field:
    - many2one: you can see all children
    - many2many: you can see all children
    - one2many: you can see all children
  2. When you export, put the label of the fields in the first columns, and not their name. (example: Partner/ID)

  I changed the format of the csv file. Instead of "db_id", I used
  ".id". An example of "import compatible" file exported from partners:

    id,.id,name,address.id,address/id,address/name
    base.res_partner_agrolait,3,Agrolait,11,base.res_partner_address_8delivery,Paul

  This has to be done in trunk, before v6.0. I think it's critical for
  OpenERP Online users.

  Test with the GTK client to be sure the behaviour is the same in the
  web and GTK client.
