Description Sissi Zhu CLA 2007-05-28 01:38:20 EDT
Description:
In today's build, a "New Data Binding" dialog replaces the old one. But it seems very confusing. 

According to the spec attached with #130686, when an "Aggregation" in the palette view is pulled into the table group footer layout, an "Aggregation Builder" is trigged. Actually, "New Data Binding" dialog appears instead. In this builder, there are two filters setting, they are confused. And the naming is not formal. Some of name is in lowercase, and other are uppercase.

Build version: 2.2.0.v20070528-0630

Change title to 'Aggregation Builder'.
The dialog is implemented as 130686 required, it has made many person confusing, so, reassign to rkanguri for more investigation on UI.

New aggregation builder UI

Currently the following has been proposed. But looks liek the implementation is not consistent.
Comment 3 Yuejie Chen CLA 2007-05-30 02:15:09 EDT
I think GUI had implemented as the mockup, please see Comment #19 in 130686.

In the recent model change, model removed the filter and group argument for the SUM function, so, the dialog will not show two filters now, but it is still a bit of confusing for the arguments are mixed with other fields and not grouped. 
Comment 4 Rima Kanguri CLA 2007-05-30 15:03:39 EDT
The reason the UI has combined arguments with group, filter is from a user perspective when a function is selected they all are treated as arguments to the function.

The UI mockup have been reviewed and agreed after several iterations, so I think we can leave it as mocked up and wait for user community feedback.

According to UI team comments, they have already made the changes to not show the redundance arguments, i will mark this bug as resolved.
Comment 5 Sissi Zhu CLA 2007-06-05 22:20:34 EDT
