Description

« Hide

The underlying principle, don't display objects that are not used in published forms. For example, if the author chooses not to include a reflection form in a given wizard page or matrix cell, the "general feedback" lable and region should not be visible inb the published form. Similarly, if any evaluation form has not been included in the page, the "Submit for Evalution confirmation" button should not appear.

I agree with not showing too many labels for options that are not there, but it is also nice to look at a category that is empty, for instance 'feedback' to realize that while feedback was an option, none was given.

So sometimes the labels should be hidden (in the case you describe they should be) and sometimes a label can denote an empty list.

Sounds like we're getting conflicting opinions here. In order to do this, we need clear direction on when to hide and when to show each thing.

Actually, I don't think Bas and I disagree. What i was suggesting was not to show labels anbd widgets assocaited with a particular form type (reflection, feedback, evaluation), if the author of the page hadn't included that form type in the page. So, if the page doesn't include a review/fedback form, the student wouldn't see the feedback label and region on the page. Similarly, if the page doesn't include an eval form, the student doesn't see the submit button.

I think Bas was saying that if the author included a review form in the page, the stuident should see the review label, even if no reviews had been submitted. I agree with his logic. It's a different situation, because teh author chose to include "review" as an explicit part of the process.

This is one step of a progressive fix. Wizard's main page (runWizardGuidance.jsp) has been changed and is working properly.

Hi Brian,

Should I be able to see these changes now on Nightly, or is a restart necessary?

Tasks for 2.5.0 have been completed. We're nearing the end of the QA cycle and A lot of general regression testing has been going on for the past few months - the changes have likely been reviewed via this method of testing
