This is really 3 questions put in one G2G question, but all related to profile edit functionality. Formatting/Flagging/Updating.
I would like to know if we can add a few items to the "Formatting Tips" section that is currently displayed when editing a profile. Secondly, add an error box (on/off) for data errors of profile's you personally know are in need of edits.
1) Formatting text. I would find benefit in a [tab] entry, so that I could align a column. For example a census display of year, persons age, then text of census record. It would be nice if it could wrap on the text of the tab so the columns hold true for that line. I cannot tab within the profile edit without exiting the profile. Tab does not exist? Spacebar additions would not align on random field lengths.
I also would like to see color of certain text to help highlight a problem within that record. For Example [RED,1900 married, but child born 1896] or {REDon} TEXT {REDoff}, or bold for that matter.
I see you have a formatting box with selections when I'm typing this into my question for G2G, and that would be wonderful if brought to the profile editing pages. I used for examples above.
2) I would also like to have a selector option on a profile to flag it for need of editing. Some profiles are known to be incorrect, or some data within them in need of review. Some problems MAJOR as flagged by "Data Doctors" cleanup, and some minor for specific user tweaking. I would like colors to highlight the known problem that was discovered. I know the Data Doctors utility finds these problems, but why not display them within the profile being reviewed?
3) My suggestion, Within the profiles we manage, use the search field for selecting within your WATCHLIST" profiles flagged with data doctor errors or your chosen profiles in error. Also add then use a flagged error box (on/off/locked) for your discovered profiles that need your attention. A bot could easily update the flag daily/weekly of known data doctor issues still to be resolved on a profile. The bot would turn on or off as issues are discovered or resolved. The 'error box' could also be locked out of bot updates if the profile manager selects the lock. Lockout is needed if for example a child needs to be added or deleted or is perhaps in the wrong family and still needs to still be cleared.
Go easy here, as I'm just trying to flag items of known problems so we bring these forward, easily see them, and get them solved by our less techy users. If we can easily see problems, then they are more likely to get them resolved.
Your thoughts?
