Changes to My Library page, Parameters field

[rstudley]

@alexsmithRTI : I'm not sure I've mentioned this to you before, but I would like some minor enhancements to the entries for each job in the "My Library" table.

• The parameter “Intervention End” of 1/1/1753 is confusing. Can we remove it?
• Can we include the following parameters: (i) Outcome Year(s), (ii) District Matching Preference
• Can we add spaces after the commas for “Outcome Areas” and “Subgroups” (and "Outcome Year(s)")?
• For "Outcome Areas" and "Subgroups", would it be possible to draw from the short_name field in the metadata, when the short-name is populated, instead of just using the variable name? (If you can do this, please tell me and I'll update the metadata to make sure all relevant variables have short names.)
• Since we added to the My Library table, the blue/grey part of the table now extends beyond the orange border at the top. (See screen shot below.) Can you fix?
• In the screen shot below, from production, there is an ID column in the library. But this column is missing from staging. Can this ID column be added in staging and development?

NOTE: This was on the production instance, but it should probably be updated also in staging and development.

All of these are done and ready to deploy, except for this:

For "Outcome Areas" and "Subgroups", would it be possible to draw from the short_name field in the metadata, when the short-name is populated, instead of just using the variable name? (If you can do this, please tell me and I'll update the metadata to make sure all relevant variables have short names.)

I can pull from the UserOptions table to get the display name, but not from the metadata table in the data warehouse.

@markmfredrickson Would you be able to populate the UserOptions table as described above, so that the user's library table contains short variable descriptions rather than obscure variable names? We would probably also want to update the short_names field in the metadata and draw the info from there automatically, right?

I replied to this in GitHub (issue 8<#8 (comment)>) but am using email as well because I’m not sure that Mark will receive that comment… @markmfredrickson<https://github.com/markmfredrickson> Would you be able to populate the UserOptions table as described above, so that the user's library table contains short variable descriptions rather than obscure variable names?

Alex, please send me a copy of the UserOptions table so that I know the set of variable names that will need labels.

An update UserOptions table is attached, augmented with a new LibraryLabel column. Can we use this column to populate the Outcome Areas and Subgroups fields in the parameters column of the “My Library” table?
