Issue Summary
Participant did not understand the Preview was updated automatically. They didn't use it, and just went straight to 'view page'.
(The latter part of that is a problem until #1831696: View page link goes nowhere, if you have not saved is resolved.)
A possible solution was rejected (Show when the last time the preview was updated) because most of the time it will be '0 seconds ago' but so a solution to this needs more thinking and/or research. Would a 'xx ago' timestamp help?
Comments
#1
If we place a xx ago timestamp there, we should talk about the typical speed a user interacts with a view.
If we say the timestamp should be updated every 2 seconds, the user might get really annoyed by the constant changing, but on the other hand set it to a too high value (like 1 minute) wouldn't help anyone.
10 seconds seems to be a good value, what do you think?
#2
How often is the preview updated?
#3
The preview is updated everytime the user changes any kind of setting in views, as long
"[] auto preview" is checked. If it's not checked, the update happens just on pressing the button.
