Still need to make time for a mobile strategy discussion, as we want this community to drive the decision,

Please join us on November 30^th (8 AM PST/ 4 PM UTC/ 5 PM Copenhagen) for a webinar on the current roadmap for OpenLMIS V3 Vaccine Module, including features in development and those just completed! This webinar will serve as a refresher of the work we did together in Copenhagen and what has happened since.

Please register in advance for this meeting:

https://zoom.us/meeting/register/9b1a18dcc87534aec5b9141539e44ee6

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about call-in details to join the meeting.

We look forward to speaking with you soon! Please feel free to forward this invitation to your colleagues as well.

In the meantime, we are welcoming feedback on the mockup for local fulfillment.  The interactive mock up focuses on fulfilling one order.  The items outlined in RED are interactive. You can click on the page and it will direct you to the mock up page/modal. To go back to the first page, please just use the back button in your browser. Please give us feedback and thoughts.  We are still working on the mock up and thinking through if we should show some information or not from the requesting facility (like consumption or the ideal stock amount). Reminder to review the presentation Rachel gave for context of the screen. You can find the presentation and functional specifications here.

• As of call time no one expressed opinions about the mock-ups
• Here is what has changed in the mock-ups
  • Pick-pack list changes
  • Ability to make adjustment to stock on hand
• Please let us know if anyone in the community needs to give feedback on the mockups

Performance Metrics from 3.2.1

• Details in the 3.2.1 release notes: http://docs.openlmis.org/en/latest/releases/openlmis-ref-distro-v3.2.1.html#performance-improvements

Release notes have performance metrics

• The amount of products in a requisition do effect performance. Product list size was:
  • about 200 items in essential medicines program
  • 15 items for TB program

Improvements in:

• Convert to order process
• Requisition approve
• Requisition initiate
• Requisition submit
• Requisition authorize
• Batch approve implements virtual scrolling, speeds up performance
  • Have not released officially yet
  • Working with Malawi team to understand needs to see if we can simplify

Generally what has helped is:

• 50% of performance work is in Java Services, where data was looked up multiple times. Added profiling into code
• 50% in UI javascript
  • Removed server calls, added caching
  • Scrolling in batch approve on a "slow" computer would cause lag making the screen hard to use. Added virtual scrolling library to make the page more performant

Caching concerns

• Application files updating
  • Some work planned to handle this
• Data 'freshness'

Will plan follow up call

Tenly shared information about the two presentations

Tenly is scheduling a demo of https://tupaia.org/ on December 18th and will make it available to the community.

JSI has made information available to Zenysis. A great example of how to triangulate between multiple services.

Matt: what are the insights we want and what applications we want to delivery.  Let's flag what insights and value we want to see.

MJ: Data warehousing will provide a structure to find the data to answer complex questions that the community will have.

Matt: If there parts of these applications that you like, or feel are important, please bring that up to the community.

Many people congratulating the OpenLMIS community on working together.

Tenly will add presentations for reference.
