DSD Constructor 1.3.0.18 - Minor Release [19 July 2019]

• Warning message: Multilingual input confirmation.

  When the input codelist or DSD has any extra language besides the user configured language(s), the user needs to be informed and confirm if they want to continue. If yes, those extra languages will be discarded.

  For example, if the user selects EN and IT as the default language, and a codelist uploaded contains names in EN, FR and ES. A warning message should be fired up for any upload event at the first time, and if the user confirms with YES, the information in FR and ES will be discarded automatically.

• Codelist Item Annotation - Read Type, Title and Text (with localization). The current implementation for the annotations at the item level only handles "Type" together with multilingual "Text". This improvement aims to extend it to allow "Title" presented as well. The following steps are summarized in order to achieve this:

  • For any annotation "Type", create a default column with the same name as the "Type" in the table frame, and this default column will be used as the data entry for "Title".

  • To avoid listing too many columns in the table frame, provide a right-click menu on the column header to hide/unhide all empty columns.
