Re: message that tells you all TS units in a precinct are/are not loaded



Tari,
 
    Currently GEMS displays ALL the machines that are to be uploaded as a separate line in the AVServer console.  Therefore if you only upload 3 of the 5 machines for a vote center then only 3 of the 5 machines will have a green arrow next to them, the other 2 will not.  Further more at the top of the screen is a field that shows x/y uploaded.  If only 10 of 12 machines where uploaded then this will only show 10/12.
 
    I agree it would be nice for the pollworker to know that they have 5 machines to upload and that only 3 of the five have been uploaded but in GEMS we allow you to change the number of machines for a vote center AFTER you have downloaded some of them,  therefore the Accumulator has no way of knowing how many machines are to be uploaded.  This is not a simple task and will need some real thought and work to implement something that really works.

Subject: message that tells you all TS units in a precinct are/are not loaded

When you have a Precinct/Vote center that has say 5 TS units in one location and you use one of them as the Accumulator -  we need a message that tells the pollworker that say 1 of 5 machines loaded - 2 of 5 etc until all 5 are loaded.  Then and only then will the transfer results button become accessible and the modem call/direct upload be allowed. 
 
Conversely , we need a message that alerts the pollworker if they DO NOT load all the TS units for a particular vote center and warns them that their upload will not be complete - or something similar and ask them if they are sure they wish to upload 4 of 5 or whatever they have.
 
On the Gems side - each machine gets a green arrow as it uploads so we can tell who has not uploaded - but in the field we need some type of message display that lets them know it is incomplete.
 
I hope this is understandable - if not I can try to clarify.
 
Thanks
Tari
