No-code application to explore and publish all kinds of data: datasets, tables, charts, maps, stories, and more. Forever free and open source project powered by open standards and generative AI.
Main buttons placement: right now, the ADD, DELETE and MANAGE buttons are located at the bottom of the app. This makes the tool not intuitive for users:
We also need to review the options for each button and colour.
ICONS: For the stable version, the ODE will describe and validate tabular data. In this sense, we expect the user to open/upload csv and Excel files. However, some data publishers (CKAN community) can upload folders with a lot of files. We need to review the icons used in each case. When the application was created, the OKFN used icons from MUI.
Cvs and Excel files:
Cvs and Excel files with ERRORS:
Folders:
Secondary buttons in the app: They are currently located at the top of the tool (upper right corner). This location is not working since the tools highlight these buttons over the upload and file management options.
Review the "No files selected" feature: See issues #403
Description and validation: This is the most complex part. As mentioned in our conversation, we ran a survey to try to understand how users describe in plain language both features. In addition, these functions are connected to the ODE workflow, so we will also need to make some decisions in terms of how we show these options to users. For instance: maybe it makes sense to have the VALIDATE button (with another name), but the data description (key info about the data: number of columns, type of fields, etc.) can be produced automatically.
Problem description
The current main screen of the ODE needs to be improved.
