File Menu items to keep, hide or get rid of

[rachelkg]

Hello @lilyclements and @EVANSTATS,

I am currently working on the Help for the File menu. I am curious about:

• Import from ODK (In R-Instat but I cannot write the help without more information)
• Import from Rapid Pro (In R-Instat but I cannot write the help without more information)
• Import from databases (Roger added to the Help but this is not in R-Instat)
• Convert (Roger added to the Help but this is not in R-Instat)

@rdstern mentioned that you both might the ones to talk to. For eachof these items (if you know) please could you tell me. Shall we leave it in and if so would you be able to explain it/write something to add to the help (I can give a frame work and help)? Or is this something that we should hide for now or even get rid of? If so, we should do so in the program and the help simultaneously.

Thanks,

Rachel

@rachelkg I can definitely help with Import from Rapid Pro, although I think that this dialog might undergo some changes (I don't know when, it really is a "when I have the time" thing. It would be changes in the code)

Import from ODK is still under discussion. It's taken a bit of a back seat lately, I think, but I'm not sure why. I think just other deadlines have come up. @EVANSTATS when do you think we could revisit this?

I'm not sure what Import from Databases is or entails - I know we have under the Climatic menu the ability to import from postgres if this helps?

@lilyclements Great thanks so much.

I have deleted the concert and Import from database items.

I will leave the other two for now in the hopes that we get to them. As and when we set a release date for the next version I will contact you to se if you think we should hide them for now or include them.

Best,

Rachel
