==Bugs that need to be tested live together==
 
  
Following bugs seem to be a bit of a confusion since they seem to appear for some and not others. This may be a communication or browser issue. They should be resolved live.
 
 
+ Editing point symbology based on filters does not work (tried with Mekong and West Bengal data). They do not change after closing the symbology tab, the lines with edited symbology disappear. (JAKOB)
 
 
==Resolved Bugs==
 
 
+ When I zoom into a geographical area and then select a global layer, it automatically zooms out into global view again. It should remain where I zoomed in beforehand. (JAKOB)
 
 
+ When I have multiple layers selected and want to change their properties (like opacity, or the Legend) it is not clear which Layer is associated with which Legend as in this screenshot [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/1/13/Screen_Shot_2015-04-22_at_08.33.47.png]. There needs to be a clear association for example by having the Legend immediately after the respective layer name. (JAKOB)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">Fixed for chrome & firefox: AJ OK Annette </span>'''
 
 
+ I uploaded a .csv file with headers of 'lat' and 'long', which threw an error of "One or more errors occurred".
 
1. It would be better for the input routine to search for unique header strings containing 'lat' and 'lon', since not everyone may spell out 'latitude' and 'longitude'.
 
2. It would be nice if the actual error could be printed, e.g. "String 'lat' not found". (JOEL)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">Fixed</span>'''
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">Closed (JOEL) OK Annette</span>'''
 
+ Uploading a .csv file with a first line of "ID;latitude;longitude;meas" produced the error: "FEHLER: 42701: Spalte „id“ mehrmals angegeben" [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/0/0e/JP_bug_003.png] (JOEL)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">Fixed</span>'''
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">Closed (JOEL) OK Annette </span>'''
 
+ When uploading a shapefile, I did correctly received the error "Zip file does not contain a .dbf file". However, I received the same message again upon (successfully) uploading the .zip file now containing the missing files. This is misleading, and so a message such as "File successfully uploaded" should be given. (JOEL)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">Fixed</span>'''
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">Closed (JOEL) OK Annette</span>'''
 
 
+ The Feature Info shows data that is difficult to read/understand and when values show up, units are not shown [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/e/ef/Screen_Shot_2015-05-06_at_10.57.59.png] (JAKOB)
 
  '''<span style="color:red">Data Issue. should be fixed by EAWAG Partners. TO DO MANOUCHEHR AND JOEL</span>'''
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">As far as I can tell, we no longer have any pre-loaded (public) feature (i.e. shapefile) data layers, which would now make this bug irrelevant. (JOEL)</span>'''
 
 
+ I have shared a layer publicly and then loaded it. Although it has data, the legend is broken. Screenshot: [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/6/62/Screen_Shot_2015-05-08_at_13.57.56.png] (JAKOB)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">Fixed STILL HAPPENS ANNETTE</span>'''
 
 
+ When I "refresh" I get asked if I want to keep my old files. I get old files that I have just removed - sometimes I have 2 files with the same name. (ANNETTE)
 
 
 
  '''<span style="color:blue"> Fixed (not updated) OK Annette </span>'''
 
 
 
+ For Point Data the Statistics Button is only visible in the Option on Symbology - this makes little sense. The Statistic graph has the y axis on the wrong side and no x axis label. Also this way the graph is difficult to understand [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/1/14/Screen_Shot_2015-05-11_at_10.34.41.png] (JAKOB)
 
'''<span style="color:red">The axis are in a correct position. The graph shows cumulative distribution of the selected variable. NEED TO LOOK aNNETTE</span>'''
 
 
+ After creating a new community group, my username is not listed under 'Permission' until about 1 minute later. If such a refresh delay is common, perhaps there should be a message stating so during the community creation process, or this process should take the necessary amount of time such that the group can be used immediately after being created. (JOEL)
 
'''<span style="color:blue">Couldn't reproduce the bug. It generally takes less than a second to create a community.  </span>'''
 
'''<span style="color:blue">The problem arises (community owner or a newly added member not being listed) if one does not refresh the page, which most users will not think to do. Is it possible to automatically refresh this table? (JOEL)</span>'''
 
 
+ If Password is forgotten and new Password is requested ('Forgot Password?') no email is received and Error Message appears. [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/f/f6/Screen_Shot_2015-07-31_at_18.46.16.png] (CAROLINE, JAKOB)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue"> Fixed OK Caroline </span>'''
 
 
+ 'Map Layers' window: There should be a radio button to select either the full base map or only country borders, if anything. For example, these options could be grayed out until a check box for 'Base map' is checked. [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/5/56/JP_bug_006.png] (JOEL)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">Fixed: user can only choose one of the base layers.</span>'''
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">Closed (JOEL)</span>'''
 
 
==Remaining Bugs==
 
 
===Register Page / Login===
 
 
+ Microsoft Login does not work. (JAKOB)
 
 
 
 
+ For Password: should be indicated which type of characters and how many should be included (CAROLINE)
 
 
===Base Map===
 
 
+ The Google Earth Base Map has a limit in the north and south - if you zoom in you can not look at northern Scandinavia for example, all of Siberia, and northern Canada gone too [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/0/01/Screen_Shot_2015-05-06_at_11.17.24.png] (JAKOB)
 
 
===Upload Function===
 
+ I tried to upload a zip file with shp files. It throws the following error message ([http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/d/d7/Screen_Shot_2015-07-27_at_12.11.03.png]) even though no subdirectories are included (Zip file includes: dbf, prj, sbn,sbx,shp,shx)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">Could you share your zip file? I am sure there is a sub-directory in your zip file. </span>'''
 
 
+ Two text edits to make: (1) in the box confirming that one wants to overwrite a layer, and (2) in the error message about a missing .dbf when uploading a shapefile-containing .zip file (JOEL) [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/0/0d/JP_bug_007.png] [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/index.php?title=File%3AJP_bug_008.png]
 
  '''<span style="color:red">NOT FIXED: Second sentence is currently "Please consult with the provided help". It should be "Please consult the provided help." That is, remove "with" and add a period. JOEL</span>'''
 
 
+ Text edits to error message resulting when uploading shapefile with different .zip and .shp filenames: should make "Shapefile" lowercase and divide into two sentences, "Mismatch between shapefile and zip folder names. They should be exactly the same." (JOEL) [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/f/f0/JP_bug_011.png]
 
 
===Map Layers===
 
 
+ Editing point symbology based on filters does not work (tried with Mekong and West Bengal data). They do not change after closing the symbology tab, the lines with edited symbology disappear. (JAKOB, ANNETTE, JOEL)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">I can't reproduce this bug. Do you apply your changes?</span>'''
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">This works for me now. I do not remember the circumstances of previous testing. Bug can be closed from my point of view.(JOEL)</span>'''
 
++ Unfortunately for me in Firefox this still does not work. I will add it to the list of things we need to test live together on two different browsers at least. (JAKOB)
 
 
+ Geology layers (age & lithology): the light, transparent grey of each layer that signifies continents without the geology in question (value=0) obscures all other layers. The problem becomes acute after adding several geology layers. This is particularly a problem if one would like to display many different geology types at once. (JOEL)
 
 
===My Layers===
 
 
+ After I shared a layer to the public I can not unshare it anymore. [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/5/5c/Screen_Shot_2015-08-07_at_17.12.13.png]. (JAKOB)
 
 
====General====
 
 
+ To share with a user I always have to know the first three letters of his/her email adress to find the correct one. This should be better searchable (Name, parts of email adress, etc). (JAKOB)
 
'''<span style="color:blue">Need to be discussed in the meeting. There were some reservation about this search function.</span>'''
 
 
====Raster Data====
 
+ Upload of simple raster data failed [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/2/2f/Screen_Shot_2015-05-11_at_11.06.41.png]. Data is here: http://www.naturalearthdata.com/downloads/50m-raster-data/ (JAKOB)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">I Checked your raster, it is a multi-band raster. We only support single-band rasters. User gets a proper message now</span>'''
 
 
++ Uploading Rasters of tif formats still does not work and the error messages handed down are impossible to interpret [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/1/11/Screen_Shot_2015-07-28_at_10.16.54.png]. When it throws the error for multiband raster, there is still illegible text attached to it [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/b/b5/Screen_Shot_2015-07-28_at_10.20.52.png]. Also in the help it states at the moment that when a multiband is supplied only the first band is used. (JAKOB)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">I removed the stack-trace from the message. It was there for debugging the application. You should make sure your rasters are in a right projection system. Could you share your raster?</span>'''
 
 
====Polygon Data====
 
 
++ I tried to upload the folder again (all correct file names after I cleaned the original folder) and it says there are subdirectories in the file which there are not. [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/0/0e/Screen_Shot_2015-07-28_at_10.25.57.png]. (JAKOB)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">Please share your zip file. I am sure there is at least one sub-directory in your zip file. </span>'''
 
 
===Community Page===
 
 
+ The Sending a message to Community does not seem to work anymore [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/d/dd/Screen_Shot_2015-08-07_at_17.21.08.png]. Also when it still worked and messages showed up, the message was not sent to the group's emails. (Jakob)
 
 
===Modeling===
 
====Descriptive Statistics====
 
 
+ Generally, my Statistical Analysis Panel is not correctly displayed on Mac OS X (Safari, 8.0.6). All tables extend beyond the right edge of the popup window and there is no possiblity to shift. (TOBIAS)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">Not tested for Safari</span>'''
 
 
+ The window of the graph in Descriptive Statistics does not show correctly. [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/2/22/Screen_Shot_2015-05-11_at_12.35.51.png]. One can not the see full graph. (JAKOB)
 
 
====Pre-Processing====
 
 
+ In Pre-Processing I created a table based on a georeferenced layer I uploaded earlier. It then puts this table automatically into my list of layers. But when I click on that table/layer, it is not georeferenced like the original basefile but is located somewhere in the middle of the Atalantic. [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/3/36/Screen_Shot_2015-08-07_at_17.35.59.png] (JAKOB)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">I fixed the error. Only layers of type Covergae, Point, Polygon, Feature are visible and can be added to the map. May be you need to add this to the help.</span>'''
 
 
 
+ When adding a new table the site now tells me that I have no layer that can be used for modeling - but I do, the MekongGis layer. [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/b/b8/Screen_Shot_2015-08-07_at_16.51.52.png] (JAKOB)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">I can't reproduce this error. could you test it again and let me know if you still see the error. This error should appear only if a user doesn't have any point layer.</span>'''
 
 
+ If I want to upload multiple layers it does not accept them and gives an error that they are all already loaded even though they are not. When I reload the page they appear - but they should appear right away. [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/0/03/Screen_Shot_2015-08-06_at_14.43.18.png] (JAKOB)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">Either I don't understand this bug, or the picture is not relevant. Users can only upload a file at a time. Do you mean adding columns to a modelling table? If yes, I tested this function on different browser and couldn't reproduce it. </span>'''
 
 
+ If I want to choose from user layers the folder structure just opens an infinite cascade of folders -> [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/8/84/Screen_Shot_2015-08-06_at_14.32.46.png] (JAKOB)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">I can't reproduce this error. Tested on chrome, Firefox, safari, internet explorer. Can anybody else reproduce this error? </span>'''
 
 
 
+ The Table is still misplaced [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/f/fe/Screen_Shot_2015-07-28_at_11.49.13.png], so are all plots. I have now tested it on Firefox and Chrome where it does not work. (JAKOB)
 
    '''<span style="color:blue">I can't reproduce this error. Tested on chrome, Firefox, safari, internet explorer. Can anybody else reproduce this error? </span>'''
 
 
+ When I want to remove a Layer, it does not do it and just opens an empty yellow window below [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/f/fc/Screen_Shot_2015-05-05_at_14.51.27.png]. (JAKOB)
 
'''<span style="color:blue">Fixed, tested only by chrome and firefox</span>'''
 
 
++ Therefore we also need testing for IE as this is a commonly used browser.
 
'''<span style="color:blue">tested also in safari and IE</span>'''
 
 
====Modeling====
 
 
+ Opening the first Model Results, results are not visualized properly and it is not possible to enlarge the window. Also the axes of the scatter plot are not displayed fully but are covered partially. [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/c/c8/Screen_Shot_2015-05-05_at_15.33.11.png]. (JAKOB)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">Couldn't reproduce the bug. Which browser? </span>''' - Firefox
 
 
===Wikipedia Page===
 
 
==Visualization Errors==
 
 
===Global Maps ===
 
 
+ When 'Base Map' and 'Country Boders' is selected ([http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/1/14/Screen_Shot_2015-04-22_at_00.33.18.png]), the map looks horrible. Country borders should not additionally have country names, these are duplicates. The emphasixed borders are fine. (JAKOB, TOBIAS)
 
'''<span style="color:blue">Well they are two base maps. Normally one selects only one base map. We can automatically toggle between them, so only one could be checked. I do not agree with your second command.</span>'''
 
 
==Must haves ==
 
 
===Main Page===
 
 
+ All those different windows opening need to have fixed spots - otherwise after a while the page looks really confusing to the user when these windows can be shifted around freely [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/e/ea/Screen_Shot_2015-05-06_at_10.41.09.png] (JAKOB)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">Dont agree. </span>'''
 
 
===Register Page / Login===
 
 
+ Texts for Disclaimer (Legal Issues) and email to registered user (standard text) need to be written. (JAKOB)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">Should be provided by EAWAG partners.</span>'''
 
 
===Account===
 
 
+ This Site: http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Protected/Manage has to be extended to provide: (o) choose whether your contact details can be visible to others. (o) Add your name, contact details, Affiliation. (JAKOB)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">First comment is alrady implemented </span>'''
 
 
===Community===
 
 
+ If I send a message within my community to all community members, I can not open this message in the panel (see screenshot: [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/5/5a/Screen_Shot_2015-04-24_at_10.51.21.png]). It has to open once I double click on it. Ideally it would send an automatic email to all community members. (JAKOB, TOBIAS)
 
 
===My Layers===
 
 
===Public Layers===
 
 
+ There has to be a check on layers being uploaded publicly - they need to be approved by an administrator first, otherwise the database visible to everyone can quickly become spammed. (JAKOB)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">Ambiguous, To be discussed in the next meeting </span>'''
 
+ All publicly supplied layers and privately uploaded layers have the (i) for data information one line pushed down [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/e/e1/Screen_Shot_2015-05-06_at_11.27.27.png] (JAKOB)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">Style problem. fixed it for chrome and firefox</span>'''
 
 
===Statistical Analysis===
 
 
====Modeling====
 
 
==Nice to have==
 
 
===Wiki===
 
 
+ I think that for the correct format of Input files we need a screenshot or even a template file that can be filled by users, otherwise they will upload formats that cause trouble. I think the explanation currently available on the Wiki is clear but could be improved (can also be done by someone else than Manouchehr), see following Link [http://test-gap.eawag.ch/GAP.Geopedia/images/1/1c/Screen_Shot_2015-04-21_at_20.11.17.png] (JAKOB)
 
 
+ In statistics only a cumulative plot is available. That is not necessary helpful. Rather a boxplot with the distribution of values showing the range and confidence intervals. Also the Table could be improved, as right now all values are just listed underneath each other. Also it says 'owned by undefined' even though it should automatically be associated to me as the user who uploaded it. (JAKOB)
 
 
==General Comments==
 
 
+ Many actions (like sharing or unsharing layers publicly) only come into effect after the page is reloaded. They should rather take effect immediately, otherwise this is confusing to the user. (JAKOB)
 
  '''<span style="color:blue">Share/Unshare layers are updated after any action currently.</span>'''
 
 
+ The international rivers database (from hydrosolutions) might be useful to also upload on the site (see here: http://ir-s01.ethz.ch) (TOBIAS)
 
 
==Tasks to be taken over by team members (non - programming)==
 
 
Apart from bugs/changes that need to be conducted in the back-end by programming, there are parts of the site ("Content") that needs to be written and/or checked by team members, ideally by English native speakers.
 
 
+ writing disclaimer (Data Ownership, legal issues, etc.)
 
 
+ writing Wiki Page / How - to - use - the - site
 
 
+ mouse overs
 
 
+ all error messages and other notifications
