Last saved values

There is a new setting for a field called 'Use last saved value'.

This setting allows for new records on the client device to automatically inherit the previously entered value for a field.

This feature enhances productivity when the values of most fields in a record do not change in new records.

Konect AppDefault values applied to existing records

If an existing record has a default value defined for a field and that field is null or empty (this can happen from imports or hidden fields + variants), the default value is applied to that field when the form is opened.

A list of which fields had been modified is displayed at the top of the form.

Bug Fixes

Issue

New Behaviour

Reference

Konect Manager

Numeric list fields are no longer supported

The numeric fields 'whole number' and 'number' can no longer have a list associated with them as such lists caused queries to fail.

Existing forms with numeric list fields will continue to function as before. When such forms are accessed in the Konect Manager forms editor, a dialogue box asks the user whether they want to convert the numeric list field to a text list field.

If the user selects 'No' the form will not be changed. If the user selects 'Yes', the field will be changed to a text list field. In this case it is recommended that the dataset be exported to a CSV file and then imported to ensure that all the data in the field is textual and not numeric. Only the affected field needs to be exported in the dataset.

Selection fields not honoured when child form is linked to parent form by 'Draw geometry'

The first two fields in the parent form were shown as the selection fields, not the nominated fields.

Konect ManagerFields in a variant form disappear after a field that has a visibility ruleForm variants now show all their fields, irrespective of any visibility rules.KO-385
Konect AppParent list item with no child list items causes other fields to failWhen an item in a parent list field did not have any children in its child list field, other fields in the form misbehaved. This situation is now better handled and the child field will display 'Could not find child list, talk to administrator'.KO-379
Konect ManagerNo proper validity checks when overwriting parent/child lists via importationChecks are now made when overwriting parent or child lists. Every list item in a parent list must have at least one child item in all associated child lists and every list item in a child list must have at least one item in all associated parent lists.

Required Behaviour

Reference

Konect App

'Limits' settings applied to numeric fields do not work correctly:

  • Records can be saved when out-of-limit values have been entered
  • No warning is issued to indicate that the entered values are out-of-limits
  • Out-of-limit values are replaced by the closest limit value

All issues to be rectified.

Konect App

Keyboard covers bottom of image during text annotation on iOS devices

While a text annotation is being added to the bottom of a photo on an iOS device, the keyboard covers the text annotation and the user can't see what they have written until they save the edit.

KO-244

Konect App

Incorrect value when second summary field is a photo field

If a summary field is a photo field, long sets of characters are inserted into the summary area rather than the number of photos. To avoid this fault do not use photo fields as summary fields.

Konect Manager Konect App

Default list value behaviour does not occur when a field is made visible

When a list field has a visibility rule applied it should have the following behaviours:

  • Hidden - the field doesn't present in the form and the default value is not populated into the database
  • Visible - the field presents in the form and the default list value is populated

Map labels based on List fields display the list item's unique value rather than the display value

The list item's display value should be presented as the label.

Catalogue > Datasets > Data/Queries Changing the Zoom Visibility values do not apply until the settings are saved using the 'Save location and visibility' button 

Changing the Minimum or Maximum zoom values should apply immediately so that the settings can be tested without needing to save.

Mouse does not detach from the scrollbar after navigating through a form and attempting to edit a new field in the form

The mouse should detach from the scrollbar after scrolling and allow selection of the required data entry field in the form.

KO-231

Konect Manager

When panning (left click hold) on map screens, the mouse remains in pan mode if the panning action is taken beyond the edge of the window

If the left mouse button is released, panning mode should be disabled irrespective of when the mouse button is released ie inside or outside the map window.

Konect Manager

Edits to an existing parent list with dependent child lists breaks the relationships in the dataset form

When editing an existing Parent List with a dependent child list/s (Catalogue > Lists), new values can be added or existing 'Unique Values' edited and saved. This will break the parent-child relationship in the form - the child list related to the default parent list value is always displayed irrespective of the parent value chosen. The user should not be able to edit a Parent List with dependent Children. A warning message informing the user should be displayed.

KO-286

Konect Manager

Incorrect error message when photo import can't locate a photo file

When importing photos, Konect Manager looks for photo files in the same folder as the CSV file and in a subfolder called 'Photos'. If a particular photo file can't be found, there is no indication to the user as to what the problem is. The error message simply says that there was an upload failure.

KO-288

Konect Manager

No warning about losing changes when setting default for a Date field or a Numeric field

The user is not prompted to save the dataset following either of the following:

  • Turning the default setting on or off for a Date field
  • Entering a new or editing an existing default value for a Numeric field

KO-366 

Konect Manager

Default value for numeric fields can't be updated

When setting a Default value for a numeric field, if the default value is entered and then the form is saved immediately, it is not possible to enter and save a new default value unless you click outside the value entry box before saving the form.

Konect ManagerEditing list items in the Forms Editor breaks parent/child list relationshipsThe validity of parent-child list relationships is not done when lists are edited in the Forms Editor or in the Catalogue/Lists are. Editing display values is okay but any edits/additions/deletes on unique values in parent/child lists should only be done by importing and overwriting lists from edited CSV files.

Konect AppWhen a form is opened it doesn't scroll to the top of the form

This happens in the following way:

  1. Open a form
  2. Scroll down on the form.
  3. Close the form.
  4. Open the same form again
  5. The form is in the last location scrolled to (on the previous form) - it has not scrolled to the top of the form.
KO-387
Konect ManagerLinking a child dataset/form to a parent/dataset form does not create the system fields 'Parent Id' and 'Parent Table'

Consider the following scenario:

1. Two non-Konect TAB files are imported into Konect by Konect Manager. One TAB file contains parent data and the other TAB file contains child data.
2. After the importation the child dataset is linked to the parent dataset in Konect Manager.
3. The two datasets are then exported so that the parent konect Id can be inserted into the 'Parent Id' field of the child dataset.
4. However, the two fields 'Parent Id' and 'Parent Table' are not in the exported child dataset.
