Fixes
[This was super helpful; thank you for flagging these things to fix!]
There are several inconsistencies between the exported files and ethogram:
· PH appears in ALC02_01_14_2020, ALC02_02_11_2020, and ALC02_03_10_2020 but is missing from the ethogram.
[AVB: Code for Phone; added to Ethogram]
· BR appears in ALC08_01_28_2020 and ALC08_03_03_2020 but is missing from the ethogram.
[AVB: Code for BR; added to Ethogram]
· P and R are categorized as STATE in exported data but as point event in ethogram.
[AVB: Changed to State Events in Ethogram]
· CT is categorized as point event in exported data but as state event in ethogram.
[AVB: Changed to Point Event in Ethogram]
· There are 2 CS entries in ethogram.
[AVB: Deleted one CS (the one without modifiers) in Ethogram]
2. All observations in ALC01 and ALC02 have inconsistent naming convention (e.g., 01_22_2020_ALC01 instead of ALC01_01_22_2020)
[AVB: Renamed the BORIS files; re-uploaded the V2 Master BORIS file. Note: It's helpful to me if you can indicate where the files are misnamed; I checked the spreadsheets first because I didn't know you meant the BORIS observations.]
1. Filters should waterfall with their options
If a year is selected, only courses with observations in that year should appear in the course dropdown. If ALC02 is selected, the Observation filter should only show ALC02 observations. Then, the subject filter should only show subjects that were coded in an ALC02 observation.
2. Timestamps are illegible
If we can't read the timestamps, there's not much point in having them. Is it possible to have the timestamp appear upon mouse scroll over? Could the timestamps appear in another way? What are the options here?
3. TECH codes should not be under Tool (e.g., Display (DI))
Could we review how/why TechnicOn the BORIS timeline Dashboard, it looks like Technical Difficulty has been added as a modifier. The TE codes are separate from the tools in BORIS - they should not appear on the same row as the tool use.
3.1. Example: ALC04_02_05_2020
This is coded at TE > DI but on the BORIS timeline it appears as DI > Technical Difficulties. Why is this happening? Very curious behaviour, not sure how this came about so trying to investigate how this is happening.
4. Alphabetical Order for the behaviours
Can you change this so that they are sorted A-Z, not Z-A? Right now, the behaviours are reverse alphabetical. In BORIS, they are alphabetical so this would make comparing the plots easier to do (by eye).
5. Adjust Dashboard Lay out a bit
Is it possible to make the timeline vertically larger? This is helpful for when there's a lot of coding and the vertical axis gets squished. The idea would be that it could expand to this larger area. I realize this is in conflict to the next point, which is to add notes to this display. I'm curious about this, first and foremost, since I can get the notes via the other dashboards.
6. Add notes/comments table
Is it possible to use this white space to display the notes/comments for this observation? The idea is to replace the need to use BORIS, so seeing the notes would be a great step in that direction (otherwise I have no way to see the notes without using the Sheets).
