1

agreed

2

User should be able to type in own locale without punctuation and get the correct date displayed

user must type the punctuation mark rather that system automatically supplying it as the user types

standard in most systems and generally online when filling out forms etc.

agreed

3

User should be able to search for from date without having to enter a to date

In cases where a user wants to find everything from a given date till today

If no to date is supplied, the filter should act like the user has entered today as date

agreed

Dev teams just need to implement work for their date range widgets.

4

User should be able to search for to date without having to enter a from date

In cases where a user wants to find everything until a given date

If no from date is supplied, the filter should act like the user has entered an really early date (e.g. 1900 or 1970) as date

agreed

5

Date picker should use a consistent method of entering month and year

Currently, the month can be selected using a dropdown menu, but to select a year, the user has to browse through options. 

AI SIG agreed, but this is very difficult to change.

Workaround: User should be able to type in own locale without punctuation and get the correct date displayed

agreed

6

User should not need to press "Apply" button in order to apply the date filter



new The “apply” button should be applied with a return key strike - across all apps

As soon as a date has been entered by the user, the result list should update accordingly and only display search results that match the filter, without having the user to click "Apply" first. That seems like an unneccessary step.

This is not doable due to accessibility issues

The alternative would be to scroll back to top and do "search" → cumbersome

@Martina Schildt After AI discussion we adjusted the requirement: the “apply” button should be applied with a return key strike - across all apps

agreed

stripes-force - this issue should have been implemented with https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/STSMACOM-838 and dev teams just need to implement work for their date range widgets.

Scenario 3 from this ticket (TO without FROM) describes: “Show an error message - Requires a From date or whatever is the error message today.”

So at least from this part it does not look like it has been fully implemented.

Hey @Felix Hemme - can you share details as to where you experience this issue?

The requirement listed on the App Interaction wiki page is: “User should be able to search for to date without having to enter a from date”. This is not in scope of STSMACOM-838. It is only about accepting a from date without a to date. But now that I take a look at UISINVCOMP-20 having just one of the two dates it is included there, so both requirements should be met now.

Hey Felix - although the story focuses on the from, John Coburn did work to support only the end date. Now we just need teams to apply this work across all date range filters.
