Events¶

Since version 4.3.0, you have been notified if the event you are attending was configured to ask you a few additional questions. Unfortunately and as usual, it turned out that nobody really dares reading notifications and over the time it became clear that many users regularly “forgot” to answer those additional questions.

In addition, the checkbox-based – or YES/NO – questions were set by default to “NO” but only because the control we used had no indeterminate state (i.e., neither “YES” nor “NO”). Later on, it was thus hard to understand if the member actually did not change the default answer because “NO” was indeed their answer or if they forgot to answer at all.

We are now introducing a new YES/NO switch control which supports the indeterminate state and makes it clear which questions have not yet been answered.

Your personal calendar has been enhanced to show you right away if you are attending an event but forgot to answer all questions 1:

When it comes to accessibility for the visually-impaired, we ensured the whole event block gets selected at once, instead of the various parts individually (image, date, title, …). This enables us to teach TalkBack to give a clear feedback depending on your participation status. E.g.,

Sample Event… Friday, the 1st of January… You are attending this event but forgot to answer all questions.

Finally, the form used to invite external guests has been streamlined with the rest of the application. Accessing the smartphone’s address book does not crash anymore on some devices.

Graphs of Answers¶

You certainly know the graph of answers we have introduced in version 4.3. If not, here again is how you may access it, from the list of participants:

Legend

• In green, number of positive answers

• In red, number of negative answers

• In yellow, number of persons who did not explicitly answer the question

Changes

We have now made some adjustment in order to make the graphs more readable:

• empty (= 0) values are removed from the graph altogether;

• [technical] options with the same stacked values 2 were previously grouped together, leading to a total lack of readability; this is now fixed.

How to Read the Graph

Here is another example of a graph (from a test event with only 2 participants) in order to explain how to correctly read it, in case you are not that familiar with stacking column series.

In order to deal with graphs with a very high difference in absolute values, typically when you need to show statistics for a national convention with hundreds of participants and e.g., a visit option having 30 [participants] as answer whereas the lunch #1 being 500, the Y axis is using a logarithmic scale.

Since columns are stacked, the graph above should be read like that:

• for option “Preparation Meeting”, 1 person did not answer (orange) and 1 person answered NO (red);

• for option “Visit”, 1 person answered NO (red) and 1 person answered YES (green);

• for (radio option) “TEST RADIO” (where participants could choose either “OPTION 1” or “OPTION 2” or “OPTION 3”), 1 person chose the “OPTION 1”, another chose the “OPTION 3” and nobody chose “OPTION 2”. This leads to a total of 2 answers which equates the number of participants;

• for question “NUMERIC” (where you ask for some number), the total among all participants is 2.
