Re: Display Location Name as well as Location in the Obs Hierarchy

At the moment, only the Location is displayed next to Survey Events and Samples in the Obs Hierarchy. It would make a lot of sense if the Location Name was also displayed. Take a look at the lost opportunity in this view, for example:

All of those Survey Events have Location Names associated with them, and yet, we're faced with a wall of not terribly useful information.

Here's a mockup of what it might look like if Location Name were included:

Obviously I've only mocked-up one instance there, but it should convey the gist of what I mean.

Re: Display Location Name as well as Location in the Obs Hierarchy

Charles, This sounds like a good idea to me.

If adopted, would it be better to have Event Location first, followed by Location Name, so that when sorted by name, all the records from a site would remain together?
