= Reporting =

The current Reporting fremwork in s3report and s3timeplot is great, however there are some additional features that it would be great to have in order to be on a par with PowerBI (free Desktop client, Office 365 subscribers can publish to web) & Tableau (free 14-day trial for desktop client).

There are free courses to introduce using both of these in a humanitarian context here:

Features that would be nice to add to Sahana Eden:
* Customisable Dashboards: [wiki:BluePrint/Dashboards BluePrint]
 - widgets (inc styling)
 - filters
 - layout
* Cross-filters
* Map Styling should be as instant-feedback as the reports are
 - which attribute to use for styling (bubble size or colours)
 - which attributes to put on tooltips
 - resizing of bubbles
* Options to sort the Bar Charts makes them a lot more meaningful...PowerBI does this automatically, which is nice (& would be an easy thing before adding user controls)
* Tableau can colorize bar charts by a different dimension (e.g. Show length of bar for L2 data but colour by L1)
* Generally a lot more control over graph styling (currently we can find issues with labels getting cutoff, etc)
* Tableau barchart axes can be calculations (hence be percentages)
 - can create virtual fields for reuse
 - examples: https://www.biztory.com/blog/2017/02/28/slope-and-intercept-tableau
* PowerBI has nice Analytics lines to add to Graphs:
 - Min, Max, Average, Median, Percentiles
 - it also has a tool to 'find where this distribution is different' which seems OK
 - it also has a text representation of the analysis ('summarize') which might be useful for some people
* Tableau has Trend Lines available
* Both have Treemap options (not massively useful, but nice)
* Tableau has Filled Bubbles (not massively useful, but nice)
