data-entry-assist

a web utility for quickly classifying rows of data into configurable categories

Usage

Steps/Instructions

1. Upload your data in .csv format
2. Set up the variable/s you wish to classify
3. Map these variables to corresponding keys
4. Use the key mapping to quickly classify each item independently
5. Watch the progress bar to see how many you have left.
6. Download a new .csv file with the

Expected use cases

• data mining: building "oracles" (word of truth datasets) of manually classified data
• basic data entry: adding values from a small set of possibilities to a given set of values
• ...

Features

Planned/Implemented

• able to upload csv datasets
• map data bindings to set keys
• able to name the project/space
• effectively store entered classifications (local storage)
• able to re-download the csv file with the created classifications
• perpetuate these bindings between sessions
• progress bar at the top of the page

Future Ideas

• specify/customize key mappings of your own
• establish rule sets
• provide backend logic for multiple people to work on the same dataset on their own url (a la when2meet)
  • ensure that there aren't any duplicates
  • provide ability to ensure that there are duplicates and manage collisions/disagreements

Technology

ideal: use the web primitives (no framework)

• vanilla js
• utilize html local storage
• css grid

Targeted Learnings

• extent of web primitive capacities
• session management/control
