Usage logs record activity type not specific activity #177

Open jim1001 opened 6 years ago

jim1001 commented 6 years ago

Example usage log extract 1:

1_1_3,27/6 10:6:38
NoPhoto,27/6 10:6:40
PhotoEx,27/6 10:7:28

The log records that a No photo exists screen & a Photo exists screen were shown. To find out which section's activities the user was working on you need to look at the preceding lines until you find an activity screen of form x_x_3. In this case it is 1_1_3 so the user was on activities for section 1_1.

In retrospect it may be better to include the section & activity number on the line itself, e.g. NoPhoto_1_1A1,27/6 10:6:40

Example usage log extract 2:

Sec1_4,27/6 10:22:23
1_4_3,27/6 10:22:25
TextRes,27/6 10:22:33
Home,27/6 10:22:56

Similarly would be better to record as TextRes_1_4A2,27/6 10:22:33

I chose to restrict screen names for logging to 7 chars to save log files exceeding tablet storage space and causing disaster. That limit would have to be increased if section & activity number were to be included

I thought about this a bit more. For activities it could be better to log Go to activity button presses. This would give better indication of activity use. It would also log activities that display a PDF (not currently logged). One thing to mention though is that the following activities have no Go to activity button - there's no way these can logged: 2.2A2 2.5A1 3.1A1 4.2A1

To give you a better idea what is currently logged you can use the app & check what is written to the log file as you are using it. See Usage tracking in the specification.

Please let me know if you want me to code this or if you don't care. There would be no change to the end user. We would need to reinstall the app.

Reena, Therese,

Please tell me if you want me to make these changes to the logging or whether I'd be wasting my time making them. I'm guessing that we won't be able to install updates on the tablets already issued for UK trial. So the question is: Do you want changes to Swedish app logging as above, before we issue to Swedish couples?
