QSO Data Cleanup

Howdy all,

I’ve noticed an issue in the QSO contact viewer that makes reviewing contacts a bit difficult. Toward the bottom of the viewer, certain fields are displaying what looks like raw JSON/coding data instead of readable text. The most noticeable example is in the “theirPark” section, but a few other fields show similar formatting.

This extra data makes the viewer hard to read and significantly clutters the screen during log review. I’ve attached a screenshot for clarity. Could these fields be cleaned up or parsed so only the user-friendly information is displayed? Even collapsing the raw data behind a dropdown would make the viewer much easier to navigate.

Thanks for all the hard work—WRL has been fantastic, and this tweak would make the contact viewer even better.

73s,

@KW0X Hey Dave,

There is actually a ‘Their Park’ field that just has the park data before the other data, the fields you are referring to are extra fields we use for internal purposes (ie: “theirParkData” and “theirParks”). The singluar ‘Their Park’ is also shown in the edit window. I can talk to the team about potentially hiding this data though.

Thanks & 73

Thanks for the idea @KW0X !

I think the best place to view this data is in the QSO manager itself, by customizing the columns you want to see for the contact.

We purposefully dump the raw data here for troubleshooting purposes - it’s used mostly internally so if there is some issue with the raw data, we can see EXACTLY how it appears in the database.

I definitely see the need to have a more clean UI for reading this though! We will definitely think on this
