Code Bounty: eHealth Fellow – Report Dashboard

Code Bounty: eHealth Fellow – Report Dashboard

Background

CapacityPlus, the USAID global flagship project for Human Resources for Health, has been globally supporting human resources information system (HRIS) strengthening. One important goal of this work is to increase the use of data for decision and policy-making. Adding the ability to easily create a per-user and per-role report and indicator dashboard is key to delivering pertinent information to the end-user.

Scope of Work

The developer will provide a new “Dashboard” page to the web-interface of this iHRIS Suite of software. This dashboard should be expected to contain 2-4 reports targeted to the user (although the web-interface should handle more than four reports in the dashboard). The chosen view for the report (table/chart/etc) should be loaded dynamically using AJAX to minimize the load time of the page — this may be done either on page load or on user initiation by clicking a button to “load the report.”

There should also be a web-interface the iHRIS administrator should be able to configure the report views that are part of the dashboard on a “per-user” and “per-role” basis. There should be a page where the administrator can select the report views available to each user role. There should be a page where the administrator can select the report views available to each user.
