Business Needs and Requirements
Application of this feature to Port / Terminal on Exp Tab (Ocean)
- [r0] There are 2 pairs of Port /Terminal. They should behave identically:
- Origin Terminal / Port Of Loading
- Port Of Discharge / Destination Terminal
- [r1] By default any edits from Port should propagate into Terminal.
- [r2] System should provide option to make Terminal fields "independent from" Port fields. This could be done by adding Yes/No radio.
- [r3] See possible UI design here: #Figure 1: UI
Application of this feature to Shipper Consignee (Truck modes)
For Truck modes only:
- pair a)
- Gen_Tab#Shipper; Gen_Tab#Shipper_Address - "master" ( has Y/N)
- Gen_Tab#Pick_up; Gen_Tab#Pick_up_Address
- pair b)
- Gen_Tab#Consegnee; Gen_Tab#Consignee_Address - "master" ( has Y/N)
- Gen_Tab#Delivery_to; Gen_Tab#Gen_Tab#Delivery_to_Address
- See possible UI design here: #Figure 2: Shipper Consignee UI
Application of this feature to 2 pairs of Port / Terminal on Master Details Tab (Ocean)
same as #Application of this feature to Port / Terminal on Exp Tab (Ocean)
Comments from Systems Architect
- This feature is already implemented for #Application of this feature to 2 pairs of Port / Terminal on Exp Tab (Ocean)
- Now we need to describe existing behavior
- Describe in details. For example - what happens with state of every field on change from Y to N? From N to Y?
- Above description could be done in style similar as in Delivery Comment
- Describe abstractly: talk about master / slave realation between 2 groups of widgets

Detailed Design (Technical Specification)
Summary
The property "Widget Copy Yes / No" is created to provide in the specified pairs Master / Slave of an automatic filling in of the Slave fields with data from corresponding Master fields, depending on a state of "Yes / No" switch.
User Interface
No need to define widgets here, it is to be defind in Imp Tab component.--Alex 13:58, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
- every Master, as well as a Slave, for which the "Widget Copy Yes / No" is implemented, has several fields.
- Quantity of those fields in pairs is equal and here exists a strict correspondence between Slave fields and Master fields. For example, on the Exp Tab the "Widget Copy Yes / No" property is implemented for two pairs Port / Terminal and, correspondingly, for their fields Port Name, Estimated Date, Actual Date - See #Figure 1: UI
- default value: empty
- also, every Slave has switch field "Yes / No" in a form of a Radiogroup with two radio buttons: Yes or No
- default value: No
Functionality / Use Cases
In the pair "Master / Slave" the following pairs of fields are used for automatic filling in:
- from Master#Field1 to Slave#Field1
- ...
- from Master#FieldN to Slave#FieldN
The list and correspondence of the fields see in the section Business Needs and Requirements or #Temp.
UC1: editing (switch is set to No)
- when the data in the Master field is edited, the corresponding Slave fields immediately possess equal value.
- for example, after setting data into the field Exp Tab#Port Of Loading, they will copy Exp Tab#Port Of Loading value into Exp Tab#Origin Terminal.
- when a Master field is emptied, a corresponding Slave field will be cleared immediately.
- for example, after clearing of data in the field Exp Tab#Port Of Discharge Estimated Date (or ExpTab.14b.ETA) (adjacent button "C" is used) it is necessary to clear Exp Tab#Destination Terminal Esimated Date (or ExpTab.15b.ETA).
UC2: editing (switch is set to Yes)
when data in a Master field is edited, data in corresponding Slave fields would not been changed
UC3: setting from No to Yes
all Slave fields will be cleared and become editable
UC4: setting from Yes to No
all Slave fields will be immediately set to corresponding Master field values and become non-editable

Questions
Suggestions
One outsider opinion about Y / N label
-- What does it mean "Yes / No"? What is "Yes"? What is "No"?
1) Maybe it will be useful to arrange this in the following way: simply to write a label "Copy data from Port of Loading" (Yes / No)" It will be understandable and no need to read help.
2) Why when "No", the Child is non-editable, and when "Yes", they are editable? Maybe, we should add to the radio-button a text field "Editable"? "Editable" Yes / No?
Or we should to change places between "Yes" and "No" and make "Yes, copy data from Port of Loading" / "No"? It's said only for discussion, but I prefer the last variant.
