Genome Browser & Table-data Browser: The selectable property values are not self-descriptive. #172

Open leehart opened 5 years ago

leehart commented 5 years ago

For example, when "South America" is selected, it is clear that a numerical value is expected, but "South America = 0.00" is nonsensical unless you know the context/meaning of that label, which isn't immediately explained/obvious.

Similarly, "FST - OCE = 0.00" is absurdly cryptic.

Also in Table-data Browser HOME [tab] > Explore genomic data through the Viewer [heading] > View samples [button] > [table-data browser] > [side-menu] > ADD FILTER [button]

Example: "ART = resistant"

What do you see as the fix for this? To put property.description somewhere? In analytics we have a problem of calling AF values by their region name as we didn't want "AF" in some table headers. This wasn't a problem till we exposed the more generic tools that exposed the property names.

I don't have a clear solution for this so I'm putting it on the back-burner for now.
