New Assignment Builder bugs/feedback

[bhoffman0]

Some feedback for the new assignment builder:

• Provide a way to rename an assignment (I need to do this a lot!)
• Provide a way to delete an assignment
• In the due date calendar input, allow a way to type in the time, so we don't have to keep hitting the up/down arrows to get to the right time.
• In Choose Exercises, make the window to choose graded exercises larger, so we don't have to scroll as much. Question names are overlapping question types (see image below). The preview box is hard to scroll to see it all and sometimes the writing underneath shows through. Then, you have to scroll back to choose the exercise and it's hard to tell if you got the right one. Maybe that checkbox should be frozen or outside of the scrolling area.
• In Choose Exercises, put the question numbers in alphanumerical order, not in the order added to the book or database. Put author-created exercises first.
• In Choose Exercises, the Edit pencil button on the preview of an exercise doesn't work. It says "No question to edit". A lot of teachers like to make a copy of an existing exercise and then edit it to make a new one.
• In the list of chosen graded exercises, provide a preview feature next to each chosen exercise to make sure that teachers can check they chose the right one.
• I had a hard time re-ordering the chosen exercises. It didn't always seem to move the right one. When I did preview, they were still in the unchanged order. Also provide a way to delete one easily from the chosen list.
• The description and the reading exercises that I chose disappeared after I changed tabs to choose the graded exercises. I had to uncheck and check them again for them to come back to the list.
• When I made the assignment visible and checked it in the assignment page, the description was missing, the due date and time were wrong, and the ordering of exercises was unchanged.
• When I clicked on the edit button next to the assignment on the assignment page, it put me in the old assignment creator and the graded exercises had disappeared on that page, although they were still in the beta creator. The description and time were gone in both.

I would love to have the ability to choose the sort order of assignments by field, much like I can with a spreadsheet. Usually, I would choose to sort alphanumerically by qnumber, but having options is always nice. 😉
