Hello list,

Did you know that 33% of the time when a Base user starts the form
wizard dialog they cancel out without finishing?

Can you explain some more details to understand the background?

Sure - if you look at the database I reference you'll find a query 'FormWizard' just to try and make it easier to find related items. Here you find two entries:

FormWizard-FinishBtn - clicked 1687 times
and
FormWizard-CancelBtn - clicked 554 times

Darn, my math is wrong..*smile*.. so much for my estimating skills..
Total is 2241
554/2241 = 0.247211066

So they 'bail out' ~25% of the time.

What this all really means I am far from certain and it's going to take some effort just to figure out what to query for.

For instance if I run this query:
SELECT * FROM "All Applications" WHERE UPPER ( "VCL" ) LIKE '%STANDARDFILTER%'

I get back 32 records, including two for :
StandardFilter-BereicheEnthaeltSpaltenkoepfe
[checked] 19 times [unchecked] 18 times

What I was interested in is the Standard Filter as used in Base, but I don't think that is what I'm getting with that query..so I need to find out: A - is the filtering I am interested in going to have entries under VCL or Uno Dispatch
B- what strings am I needing to search for
C - is the data even being captured, yet.


Anyway - if I change the search criteria to %FILTER% then in the results this string:
StandardFilter-Feldname3

Now maybe that is from a control on the Standard Filter dialog I am looking for?

One thing I would like to know is:
How often does a person using the Standard Filter dialog actually use all three criteria lines?


Bottom lines I suppose is that this is going to take time and effort and we might just have to wait for the real data for Base to get into the feedback channel.
