Hello, everyone -
I have struggled to find ways to streamline soil Munsell value data entry and was curious if anyone in the community had seen/used any particularly useful examples. (By "streamline" I'm referring to accurately recording a Munsell value in as few taps/key types as possible).
It seems like an image-map-based question would be the key to minimizing taps. I've made a couple prototypes with this method (see below). There are so many soil Munsell book pages to work with that cramming them all onto one svg, makes the individual color values so tiny, they are tough to read and/or tap.
Instead, I've fallen back to using the non-graphic radio buttons to select the values(see below), but that requires more taps and I don't have the coding chops to make sure that a user doesn't inadvertently enter a value that's incompatible with the soil books (e.g. "10YR 2.5/1" when there is no "2.5" value in the 10YR hue).
I thought that maybe I could have several image-maps, one for each soil book page, that could be made visible depending on the hue selected. Then maybe have a text field that concatenates all of the pages' values together (e.g. ${RecordedMunsell}= ${25YMunsell}+${10YRMunsell}+${75YRMunsell}+etc.). Assuming that only one Munsell sheet graphic would be visible, the rest of the Munsell sheet values would be "", so it would just record the selected munsell sheet value. But maybe that's over-complicated.
I was just curious if anyone had dealt with this challenge (I'm sure I'm not the only one) in a different, more streamlined way.
Thank you in advance!
