@ Lars re 1 -- Firefox

@ Knut re 3 -- Levels have been named

@ Lars re 2 -- Thought about this while placing 44 categories for 2 variables on a form.  Scrolling is not so great.  Here is an idea: keep variable choice as is (maybe a dropdown to save real estate); display category options as follows: one variable (preferably the one with most categories) vertically, remaining variables banked across the top like data entry default, buttons at the intersections.  A big challenge.  An alternative might be to leave the variable list up in the left panel and do it as a tree with categories under variables, drag-drop to form.  While fulminating, how about a tool tip when hovering over an input box that contains the category options.  I realize they are in the input box, but the box is too small to see them.  Now, I have to go to data entry and step through the form watching the green box.  BTW, my error rate was 8% for 4-way categories or 3-way with 2 variables. 

Tks all, am having way too much fun,

Roger

Folks --

            I have not yet upgraded to 2.0.4 so some of these may be fixed:

            1.         In form design, the data element selection form pops up inappropriately when editing the form name or saving the form.

 

Not able to reproduce this. Don't think anything has been changed here lately but upgrading could be an idea. What browser are you using?

 

	            2.         In form design, in the data element selection form, the categories should be listed in some ordered manner based on the categories and their option sorts.

Yes this is a weak point. The way I see it having separate data element and category lists are confusing, those should be merged into one list where all combinations of data element / category are listed.

 

 

	            3.         When assigning organization units to datasets, the select on level does not appear to work.  Select on group appears to take place in the background somehow without any feedback to the user that things are actually being accomplished.  Maybe it would be possible to show the number of org units currently selected, it would be comforting to see the number increasing after a select operation.

OK. The orgunit tree is admittedly slow. The tree is supposed to be updated when selecting a level. You could try selecting a higher level with fever orgunits and see if that works after waiting a bit. There is a blueprint for the next release about improving performance here.

 

	            4.         In data entry, it should be possible to choose the dataset to be entered and then select org units from among those registered to it in addition to choosing the site and then selecting a dataset.

OK that is noted.

 

regards, Lars

 

 

	Thanks, Roger
