1 Requirements

Problem description: When admins use the export of in the "Personalised surveys": Results » User specific Results, then they get a xls/csv-File with a first column "User Name". The combined names "Firstname Lastname" are not very usable for the admin, he needs at least two columns.

JL: There are different versions (spearate and combined) all over the place in ILIAS.
- Survey: Exports the values in the table GUI
- Participant export of course object: A combined name in the member table and separate values in the participant export.
see http://www.ilias.de/mantis/view.php?id=12756

So I suggest the following Guideline:
» All simple exports of tables should export two columns: "Lastname", "Firstname", instead of the combined "Username"

Additional confusion: Name, User Name, Login

Survey Partcipants Tab
Table GUI: Name "Lauener, Hansjörg"
Table GUI: Login "h.lauener2"

Survey Statistics, Userspecific Results Subtab
Table GUI: User Name "Lauener, Hansjörg"
Export column: User Name "Hansjörg Lauener"
Export column: Login "h.lauener2"

Course, Participant export
Table GUI: Name "Lauener, Hansjörg"
Table GUI: User Name "h.lauener2"
Export column: User Name "h.lauener2"
Export column: First Name "Hansjörg"
Export column: Last Name "Lauener"

Guideline suggestions:
a) In table GUIs, ILIAS should show "Last Name" and "First Name" in two columns, or if not possible, the combined "Last Name, First Name"

b) ILIAS should always use the following wording:
» First Name: "First Name"
» Last Name: "Last Name"
» Name: Combined Field "Last Name, First Name"
» Login: ex.: "login"

c) Abandon the combination: User Name "Last Name, First Name"

2 Suggested Guidelines

The Jour Fixe at 17 Feb 2014 has made the following decisions / guideline(s)

General Terms (Example)

First Name / Vorname (Matthias)

User names in tables that are usually presented to tutors should include the columns (in this order)

6 Discussion

S. Wischniak: In addition the column "login" should be mandatory, since the last name + first name combination is not always unique.

JF 17 Feb 2014: We would like to add this guideline (under 1.1) for release 4.5 and keep the discussion open.

HL, 2.9.2014: We agree with the JFs suggestions. Would be great to have this as a 4.5+ Guideline.

JF 15 Sep 2014: We schedule the guideline for 4.5. From now on all new implementations should respect the guideline. We have to get funding for streamlining existing features.
