Generic Features

Add option to clear URL in login screen

In the previous version the user could easily clear the username or password, but not the URL. A button to clear the text from the URL text box has been added to facilitate the login process.

Improve error information to the user

In this version the app renders the name of the data elements or attributes which fail in the synchronization process and replace it in the error message by the name of the data element or the attribute. In addition, the app displays an error message also inside the data entry form, next to the affected field. This helps the user identify the source of error and fix the problem.

Open Image clicking on it

When the user taps on an image, the image is opened and displayed on the screen taking the whole screen.

User Experience and User Interface

New Event Cards in Event and Tracker programs

The event and TEI cards have been improved and made more intuitive and informative in the last version. We have harmonised our user interface and brought this design to the lists of events in event programs and in the TEI dashboard. The cards display the name of the attribute or data element next to the value for the first three marked to be displayed. It is also possible to expand the card to display the rest of the attributes or data elements, which are shown following the same format.

New Fields for Data Entry form

All value types rendering has been redefined. The images are fully displayed now with an adjusted size, the icons on the left side have been removed and the clear buttons have been added to all value types as well.

Data Entry

Non-editable fields have different display

Fields where the value is auto-complete, either because it is auto-generated or assigned by a program rule, are rendered greyed out giving information to the user about the field not being editable.

Barcode/QR code to also accept keyboard data entry

Barcode and QR code rendered fields will also accept manual data entry of the codified text.
