csv app ready for ux testing

[samuelstroschein]

Task

@jan.johannes @jannes.blobel please test the csv prototype with internal and external users on:

• multiple (csv) files in a lix
  • how should changes be displayed?
  • how should diffs be displayed etc.
• generic change control workflows
  • LIX-125
  • LIX-96
  • LIX-127

I expect to have insights on which we change a few things in lix by the end of the week to implement the changes in lix and start another UX research session.

Out of scope

• testing row/column shifts
  • the prototype proved that row column shifts can be tracked. the questions is "just" with how much effort?

Potential UX testing

Simulate collaborating on datasets with external users. You could create a lix with two csv files:

1. countries.csv with country, capital columns
2. presidents.csv with country, president columns

(You can hardcode a 'country' primary key for both csvs)

Both CSV files have missing values and/or errors that you ask users to fix. The workflow will be

1. Send users the .lix file
2. User opens the .lix file in the CSV app
3. User makes changes
4. User sends back csv
5. You merge the changes
6. (Maybe ask user for corrections)

@jannes.blobel @jan.johannes to clarify the goal for the week:

have a prototype that can be send around with

• merging
• history
• (similar to fink2, polished ui not required)
