(institution-collection abbrev-id)"Collection" sheet:
"Manuscript" sheet:
"Story Origin" sheet:
"Canonical Story" sheet:
"Story Instance" sheet:
Note: logic for autogenerating Order in Manuscript is not implemented at this time (it's not a simple calculation, since it has to include folio as well as line and column); do not include it when testing this feature.
Okay, re "Collection" sheet:
allow a resize permission for the "Name" column (this is not yet done; it won't allow you to expand it so you can see what is there)
"Latitude" and Longitude field: it actually does let you put them both in decimal form, so that's good. But the data validation message comes up anyways and is wrong. It is asking for degree input. Can you change the validation for these two fields to decimal system for latlong, e.g., 51.519410, -0.127144? And then the Validation should say "Must be a valid longitude between ..." and "Must be a valid latitude between ..." I'm not sure what the numbers should say.
That's all I see for Collections sheet.
Globally, can we make column expansion automatic? (adjusting the width of the columns depending on the content)
"Manuscript" sheet:
"Story Origin" sheet:
The drop down of countries listed there should be France Germany Italy Spain Belgium Poland Russia Israel Syria Egypt Ethiopia Other
"Story Instance" sheet:
In the Story Instance sheet, they will spend the most time in the "Incipit" field, where they will be typing in fidel and matching and going back and forth between it and the manuscript. It will take time. That field, therefore, should be much broader, so they can see at least half of what they have typed. Maybe it could be expanded to four or five times it's current breadth.
We don't recall why Story Origin was separated out as a sheet. We think it would be better to have its columns of Region and now Country appear on the Canonical Story sheet. That way, the person entering can see the title while entering the information. So, for instance, the first one on the Canonical Story sheet there now is Macomber 1-A, Theophilius of Alexandria. So, one would just go over several columns and click on the drop down in Region of "Africa" and in Country of "Egypt." And be done.
Story Origin--add a City column as well as the country. No validation on city.
Re using Hamburg database:
Everything else works great
since only validation-related issues remain; closing this as per discussion at 12/5 mtg.
testing notes
we can test this by starting to enter the first few entries from the macomber text file. note that we are shifting validation-related stuff to #8 .
dev notes
all
allow resize permissions for all locked fieldsapparently, this is impossible: google support forum question we will just need to set the sizing beforehand, or alternatively designate an "admin" editor (Wendy?) who can edit all fields regardless of protection.collections
