Hi Mimi,
Thanks for logging bug 8555 on this issue and updating the spec
(http://svn.osafoundation.org/docs/trunk/docs/specs/rel0_7/Dashboard-0.7.html).
I've some additional questions though since the recent writing is adding
new cases:
"""
If a conflict arises on an item, should Chandler show an error icon:
[Yes] next to the relevant collection in the sidebar
[Yes] in the communication status column in the dashboard
"""
I think you should use the indicative direct tense in specs, that's less
ambiguous. That grammatical gnat aside...
- should an error icon be shown on all the relevant *collections*
(plural) in the sidebar?
- should the tooltip (that indicated the error) be updated to something
to the effect of "a conflict arise with <number> items in this collection"?
- I suppose you mean the communication status *of the item* (as opposed
to the column header for instance)
"""
If there's an error during syncing of one particular item that's not a
conflict(*), should Chandler show an error icon:
[Yes] next to the relevant collection in the sidebar
[Yes] in the communication status column in the dashboard
"""
- same questions
"""
If there's an error during sharing that's not associated with a
particular item
(e.g. the server can't be reached), should Chandler show an error icon:
[Yes] next to the relevant collection in the sidebar
[No] in the communication status column of all its items in the dashboard
"""
ok
"""
If an error happens when downloading email (POP and IMAP):
[Yes] next to the IN collection in the sidebar
[Yes in the communication status column in the dashboard
"""
- How can we display a communication status error in the dashboard since
no item has been downloaded? It seems to me that the error icon in the
sidebar is enough in that case.
"""
If an error happens when sending an item, should Chandler show an error
icon:
[Yes] next to the OUT collection in the sidebar
[Yes in the communication status column in the dashboard
"""
ok (assuming we're talking about the communication status icon of the
item that couldn't be sent)
"""
Whenever there is an error/alert, the error or alert message should
display in
the red banner area at the top of the detail view (below the mark-up bar).
"""
- Only for error/alert that are specific to an item quite clearly, right?
Cheers,
- Philippe
