Ofcourse normal users could use the report function.
I tried really hard to make an easy to use reporting tool. For instance, if you run WMET over a non-editable area, it will warn you about that and automatically switch on a special option for that. Or if you run WMET in the beta WME - there will be a warning "do not share" and every link will be prefixed with "B:" There is a guide, which helps you to start etc etc...

So I really hope that the waze champs will not object to make this reporting tools available for low-level users :mrgreen:

The fixes are password protected + locked to a certain level + locked to a country. Not every waze champ will be able to use them. And there is no chance to use a fix over another country by mistake.

Try to open the links in the new window, not new tab. I've noticed that it also slows down when you minimize the window. But if the window is not minimized and stays on the background it works ok.
petervdveen wrote:Can we set specific fixes for our countries in the future, or how do you want that to work?
Sure, let's do it!

Write a list of reports in a free form, like:
report if road name is not in the abbreviation table [link]
report if a Freeway is not named like A[num]
etc...

And fixes like:
if the road type is Freeway then lock it to level 5
etc...

And I'll see what I can do!

Done.

At the moment there is an option to generate reports in BBcodes for forum/PM posts, but I'll make a direct button for that ;)
petervdveen wrote:But letting low level users use this tool without knowing how to edit is dangerous.
In the report there is a "How to fix" part. It can also include a link to the abbreviation table or to a detailed instruction. Just let me know if I shall change/add something.
petervdveen wrote:Also sharing a report about freeways with a low-level user makes no sence, so a country or regio manager could skip that when sharing the report.

So, yes a low level user should be able to use it, but not on is own. ;-)
By default WMET includes in the report only EDITABLE segments for the CURRENT USER. So if a level 3 editor runs WMET he will not get any Freeway locked for level 5 in there, because this segment is NOT EDITABLE for the lvl 3 editor running WMET.

For the lvl 1 there are only 2 reports available: WCH/Toolbox highlights. And it will report only editable segments for the current user.
For the lvl 3 there is another one about abbreviations, incomplete city names etc. It also will report only editable segments.

Sure, I can adjust those levels if you wish.

Peter,
The issues will be fixed.

At the moment I'm adding some filters to the reporting system, since IMO there is too much information. Also I'd like to change the internal representation of reports/fixes, so different countries could share the same reports.

I'll be back soon ;-)

Do you get any error while saving? Try to lower the "Number of changes to pause" advanced option.

There are no fixes for your country at the moment, sorry :(

Only 2 champs got the codes: Peter (there are fixes for NL) and Oyyo (to test WMET-Toolbox interaction).

Frankly, I'm considering to drop this "fixes" part at all, since the reports are handy enough and more safe.
