This message was sent to epidata-list@lists.umanitoba.ca two days ago, but only the tittle was published in the Digest; for this reason, I'm sending it again, with the added mention "Request for assistance".
Dear colleagues,
I'm exploring EpiData Manager for creating a very simple data entry form.
Here is the major bugs I encountered:
- I can't save the epx file outside of the "bureau".
- Each time I try to use the field value label editor (adding a new value) the system crash with an error message "out of memory"; this jump me out of Manager and when I try to open the existing epx file I can't and the following error message is displayed: "Unable to open the file. An unknown error occured". The file can't be recovered (I recreated a new epx file, but I lost all of them [including my patience after 10 trials]).
- Displacing a field on the screen is somewhat erratic; the question beside the field seems to go farther away each time I try to correct the alignment.
- Creating a new section box is problematic; I keep creating boxes over and over again and it's impossible to go back or to delete the empty boxes.
Giving those bugs, I'm unable to create a project.
Is there a manual explaining a little bit more how to use this new interface? The short orientation document is too general to be really usefull for a novice. The concept is interesting and I would like to test it, but I fly in the dark or in the mist actually.
Cordialement,
Réjean
