[[TOC]] = Blueprint - Data Analysis, Visualisation and Reporting = == Description == == Requirement == We need to be able to generate Pretty & Informative Reports from the database. e.g. for BluePrintImpact These can be implemented as an [wiki:S3XRC_ResourceReport S3XRC Custom method] === Filtering === We will want to be able to customise reports by allowing the user to filter the data (this could include fields in the resource, components and reference resources) An example is: eg http://demo.drrprojects.net/drrp/drrpp/project/search Code: https://code.launchpad.net/~michael-howden/sahana-eden/adpc ==== Location Filtering ==== We need to be able to fitler by a location so that it shows data in all locations which are children of that location (eg villages in a district) == Use-Cases == == Design == === Custom s3xrc method === The custom s3xrc Would allow quick visualisations of resources on the server. There would need to be vars specifying which variables go in which axis in each resource. === Report model/view/controller === This module could provide the user with the ability to create and embed graphs in their instance of sahana. The idea is to provide the user with the ability display any set of data; it need not be tied to a resource or may be a more complex combination of variables than provided in the sahana framework. The graphs could be in svg format allowing for interactivity. The files themselves could also be stand alone so that they could be easily exported and saved locally. The basic workflow would be: * Create a graph with a web-form or file upload using report/scatter/create. There numerous settings that could be altered to create different a looks and feel. * Or it can be created with a call to the url with the data as vars, such as report/scatter/create?data={"x": [1, 2, 3], "y": [3, 4, 3], "title": "Test Title"}&settings={"width": 300, "height": 200} * An entry gets created in the database for the graph. It can be retrieved an and inserted into a web-page in an object or embed tag, such as
