2.16 Event Capture app

Support - Assistance technique
1

Hi - we have been working with the latest 2.16 (Aug 20), and we noticed a couple of omissions (or bugs?) on the event capture app:

  • Listing page: date is not displayed as a column – we think it will be nice to have it there as a column - otherwise you need to edit the event to figure out the actual date.
  • Radio buttons at Data Entry Time: the option to render controls as radio buttons doesn’t seem to work - they always display as drop downs
  • Form names don’t render on the form - instead it uses the full name
  • Form section don’t render
    if possible, let us know if they are likely to be fixed now, or if they will be part of future (2.17) version.

Hi Rodolfo,

Thank you for the feedback. Yes those features are missing, will try to implement them.

Hi Abyot - that’s great news. I guess that we are talking about 2.17? or are they likely to make it to 2.16?

Since these are quite a number of features, hence a bit of work, fixing them in trunk/2.17 is easier. but if you insist for 2.16 as well, I will try to replicate.

just a question on the form name part - what do you mean “instead it uses the full name”? I know the form name is not displayed, so you want that to be displayed?

About the form name: in the previous version, and similar to the behaviour of Data Sets on the aggregated side, if a Data Element has a value on the field ‘Form Name’, that’s the label that it is rendered on the data-entry screen. At the moment the Data Element name (which I referred on my email as full name) is the one that it is showing, ignoring the ‘Form Name’ value. - sorry for any confusion.

but I can see that working - I mean if a data element has form name it displays otherwise falls back to data element full name. it could be a cache issue - have you cleared and tried?

Hi Rodolfo,

The following are now implemented both in trunk and 2.16.

  • display of event dates and event uid as columns in the event list. if program stage is configured to pre-generate event uid, then the system generates the uid during data entry. This helps users to write down the id on corresponding paper forms for later reference.

  • radio buttons in default form. radio buttons in custom form are not supported at the moment.

  • display of sections

  • use of data element form name - I haven’t done much on this. It works from my side. But let me know if this is still not working.

Thank you,

Abyot.
