Corresponding source code
The present census manager displays all non-identical fields
for all cells, but changing any field for multiple cells
requires editing each cell, one at a time, and navigating to
the field in a tabbed dialog. That's inconvenient, especially
when a single field is to be changed in the same way for a
large number of cells. Example:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?105975
This user story is all about ease of use. Probably the census
manager should use a grid control, instead of a listview as at
present. Because some fields allow sequence input, this task:
https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?104480
is naturally related, though independent.
In many cases, grouping cells into "employee classes" reduces
the inconvenience; yet that's not a complete solution, for
instance because a cell can belong to only one class.
