Requested on
behalf of Larry Calvert at GBS. Clean
up the Print Artwork Module. GBS uses the Ballot on Demand feature extensively.
However, our customers are requesting some minor
modifications to the sorting of the precincts. The Print Artwork Module
has a "By Precinct" and a "Ballot on Demand" option. The "By
Precinct" option does not include the Base
Precinct Label in the precinct
selection box. The "Ballot on
Demand" option includes the Base Precinct Label, but sorts the precincts in alphabetical order.
Precincts are not necessarily created and
reported in alphabetical order so the "Ballot on Demand" option is
confusing and frustrating for our customers to use. For example, Precincts are sorted in the following order:
DeKalb 1,10,11,12...19, DeKalb 2,20,21,22.
In the Print Artwork module we need the Base
Precinct Label listed and the
precincts sorted in Report Precinct order
followed by the Base Precinct
order. This sort can occur in the "By Precinct"
option or the "Ballot on Demand"
option. The two modules also use different
labels to identify Card Numbers.
For example, "Ballot on Demand" lists Ballot
Rotations.
Perhaps we can add the Base Pct. field within the By Precincts
option, and add the ID field within the BOD option. That way if GBS does a
sort by ID, it will give them the correct sort and also have the Base Pct. field
in both windows.
