Bug #1262
closedWizard Page: Methods
0%
Description
A wizard page for Methods is mentioned in the suggestions given by Eric,
Christy and Sandy. Below are the notes from their presentation.
EML
Method Title: Dataset/methods/methodStep/description/section/title
Method Procedure:
Dataset/methods/methodStep/description/section/title/para ** This
should be repeatable for every title….actually should maybe be under
sampling..TBD
NOTES
General sampling would include the number of sampling units, their spatial
arrangement, their size, shape, etc. You would click add Variable Method and
then add information like that which appears in the species Method Type and
Method Description.
The entire Methods section could be optional…General Sampling Design and
Methods is a mandatory field if anything is entered. The information entered
in Method Description should occur on an additional pop up page much like
geographic description. An option should be available to add information
in “steps” so that bullets or numbers appear showing the steps in which things
were done. Might have to have the main Method Description sub window sub
window scrollers for each method type.
Add Quality Control Paragraph. Definition: The Quality Control field provides a
location for the description of actions taken to either control or assess the
quality of data. A quality control description should identify a quality goal
and describe prescriptive steps taken to ensure that the data meet those
standards and/or postscriptive steps taken to assess the extent to which they
are met.
Here it would be most useful to be able to upload a diagram of the sampling
design.
My understanding from the screen design and notes given in the presentation is
that: we can have the 'Add, Edit, Delete, Move Up and Move Down' (CustomList)
widget with Method Type and Method Description as columns. In the Add page we
can have the user pick whether he wants to add General Sampling Method or
Variable Methods(combobox). Along with this the user can enter Method
Description(textbox).
But it is still very vague and a more detailed discussion is required on how to
design this screen.
