Open Trialling
This month saw the open trialling of the application. Section Reps created trips which they advertised on the club forum. Members could then sign up for these 'imaginary' trips. The forum threads were then left open for feedback.
This has been a successful and valuable exercise. As well as identifying and fixing a couple of bugs, I also identified a number of functional fine tunings that would make the app easier to use, simpler and more intuitive.
Fine Tunings
- Links to trips on the access report. This was requested my the equipment officer as it is now not as simple to just find the trip.
- Move miscellaneous kit booking to the equipment booking tab. This was requested by a couple of members and I agree that this location makes more sense.
- Automatically add boat to car for the driver. I noticed that drivers were not doing this additional step which would be the correct action most of the time.
- Set general stars to the highest discipline specific stars. There are a couple of members that have discipline specific star awards but no general awards. This looks strange on general paddling trips so put in some logic address this.
- Add 'Full' status bars to trip and groups that are full. This was requested by a member who took the last place on a group.
- Altered the working for travelling independently to only be used when no basin access is required. This should encourage those travelling from non-nearby locations to still put there car into the car share.
Bugfixes
- Login failed when user had a certain combination of star awards. This was a straightforward coding bug.
- User joined a trip but didn't display the updated trip. This was a specific scenario that has now being fixed.
