Streamline return visit and placement adding

[KieranP]

To add a return visit and a placement, I need to go through two separate steps, each asking for the date.

It would be nice if the process could be done on one screen. You add a return visit, and the dialog that pops up has the date, the placement (with a type field (mags, book, brochure) which filters other placement fields), and a notes field, all on the one screen.

I have noticed how it can be annoying, especially on "magazine route" visits. Sometimes, I want to record multiple placements, and at the time I didn't know how to dynamically make that UI in Android.

I guess there really isn't a time you'd have placements without a visit... other than 2 instances: anonymous placements in street witnessing, and placements on the first call.

Well, how about a work around (not ideal but better)? Placements don't have dates on them, and when adding an Initial Call (#104) or a Return Visit, have a checkbox for "Placed Literature?" and if ticked when call is saved, pops up the literature placement box to choose magazines, books, brochures, or tracts (#100).

​Sure, something like that. I agree this needs fixing.

Do you want to try to fix one of the issues you've filed?
