Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 86758
Improve categorisation of Calc functions
Last modified: 2013-12-25 14:53:28 UTC
I raise this for the User Experience team to review, as discussed with Eike and Uwe. Functions are allocated to categories in the Help and in the Function Wizard. I am re-writing the Help in the Wiki: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Calc:_Functions_l isted_by_category and it is clear that the current categories need revision. For example: 'Spreadsheet' does not describe the contents of that category; some functions appear in different categories in the existing Help and the Function Wizard. There are two candidate models for categories: Excel: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/CH100645021033.aspx ODFF (not yet stable): http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/documents.php?wg_abbrev=office-formula I prefer ODFF - with the functions listed on one page in the Wiki it's easy to find what you want, whether or not you know the function name. But this should be a formal decision. Would the User Experience team put this on their list of things to look at please ? Thank you
reassigning features and enhancements to user requirements@openoffice.org which will be the default owner for those tasks (was introduced some time ago)
Function categories should follow those of section 6 in OASIS document.
