Hi Aron and all,

Thanks for posting the four proposed contributions to the CS Core - and nice to see some activity on the Talk list again. Below are a few comments of ours regarding the proposed contributions.

  1. Styling change to better distinguish between repeatable groups.
  •   We have done similar customizations ourselves, and would not object to it becoming part of CS Core but it is not of high priority to us.
    
  1. Docking record title bars in place, at the tops of records.
  •   This contribution might be useful however it is not a requirement of ours, and hence is not of high priority to us.
    
  1. "Create new from existing" uses current record template.
  •   As for 1. we have already developed this feature in our own implementation. We would support this contribution as we would expect it to be a requirement for most current and future implementing institutions.
    
  1. Add a "Run Batch Process" menu.
  •   Batch processing is an outstanding requirement of ours and of high priority. From the present documentation I cannot tell whether our requirements would be met from this contribution, but I guess anything in this regard would be useful to the application - so go ahead!
    

Cheers,
Kim
