"Mad lib" as a "Column View" tab
Added by ben leinfelder almost 15 years ago.
Updated almost 15 years ago.
Description
Include another tab where the Annotation Table resides. The "Column View" tab would show the madlib phrase for the currently selected column (and allow you to edit it in place). If no column was selected it would be mostly inactive with a note about selecting a column first...
I've got the extra tab showing the contents of the same page that shows up when you "Annotate current column..."
This has all the instructions and what not - so there's a bit of scrolling needed to get to the pertinent bits, but it's nice to reuse that page since it handles loading and saving the annotation when modifications are made.
oh, I also don't like that I have to save after each change in column selection (in case they have made a change in the column view).
I think adding a dirty flag to the annotation is in order - then we can tell if it has been modified or not
I've parameterized the Annotation Page so that it omits the help text and the Observation/Measurement options and only shows the madLib section. I've left the help text since you can scroll down to view it if you want.
no more help text or scrollbars - fits nicely
tweaked the padding of the data table so that the columns remain aligned with the annotation table that is now in a tabbed pane.
this is done - might be tweaked as others start to use it and provide feedback
