The flow of the navigation in the Digi App must be optimized for speed. An update shaving one or two seconds off off the work process will over 10.000 specimens digitized translate into a significant time saver.
Suggested improvement
Jan proposes that set_focus() method (moving focus within the UI) be implemented along side an indicator arrow pointing to next field that is now ready for input.
The point is that for certain fields - mainly those with "categorical data" [Storage location, Prep. type , type status] are suitable for an automatic shift in focus to the next field after the input is completed.
For continuous fields such as Notes, this is not possible.
Estimate level of effort required.
Difficult (adding graphical elements such as an indicator arrow will push other elements out of alignment)
