| Title | Templates: Input form labels |
| Category | General |
| Description | Problem Statement Currently Family Historian has no practical way to divide user-created template into, logical sections to improve readability/meaning. [A user can add "dummy" fields, but this approach has the drawback of adding active fields that add to clutter and visual confusion for the user.] This means one needs to remember the purpose of each set of template fields, which are currently displayed as a single bulleted list. This can lead to entering data into an incorrect field and the template therefore not providing the intended output, whether that is inconsistent or incorrect. Proposal It would be an improvement if the template design form permitted the use of a field-type called "label". The noted field type would have a field-label, but no meta-field tag or associated data. When present in a template, the 'label' should be visually distinct from the fields with which it is associated. It should be noted that, due to the noted manner of providing this feature, the implementation of "template labels" should have no effect on the design and operation of current or future plug-ins. |
