--- Comment #32 from AgustÃn Moyano <[email protected]> --- Hi Katrin, I'll respond between lines (In reply to Katrin Fischer from comment #29) > This works, but I feel the GUI is not very intuitive. Actually, it took me a > while to figure it out. > > The profile is "started" at the top of the page, but then after making your > settings, you have to make sure to hit "Update profile" for the settings to > be saved. So the workflow is like this to add a profile for it to work: > > 1) Enter a name for a profile, click on add > 2) Make the settings you want > 3) DONT CLICK IMPORT - or your profile will save with the wrong values > 4) Go back up, click "Update profile" > 5) Import > > I got it wrong the first time and was very confused why the "wrong" values > showed up on managing the staged import. > > If a profile was selected, values can be changed. After importing it's not > clear what was used for the import - the values from the profile or those > set (and not saved in the profile) of the form? The profile values will show. > Selecting a profile just pre-fills the form, if you change a value in the form, that's what counts for importing. I thought it good to keep that flexibility, thinking that maybe someone trying to import, might want to use almost all values from a profile, but change just one or two. > I really believe we need to improve this a bit before including it. > > Ideas: > > - Remove the buttons from the profile on top of the form and only show the > list of existing profiles there. > - If a profile is selected, change the values in the form below. > - When one of the settings is changed, show a hint behind the field. > - When importing: > - when profile is used and no field was changed: import > - when no profile was used: import > - when profile was used and values changed: ask if the profile or the > changed values should be used (and possibly if the existing profile should > be updated) > - At the end of the form offer to save the settings as a new profile or > update the existing one. This way, you can start at the top and work your > way down. > I'll remove the profile from the top and place them below. I'll also add a text to clarify that selecting a profile just pre-fill's your form, but values can be changed. > > Alternatively: > - Allow creating, updating and deleting profiles from a different > configuration screen. > - When a profile is selected, disable the other form fields so it's an > "either or" and it's always clear what will be applied for the import. I thought of this, but it would be a configuration screen exactly the same as this one.. it seemed kind of repetitive and less maintainable. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
