Backlog

Consistency

Problem	Solution	Tickets




It is too easy to click off the modal in the add screen of stock management and loose all the work the user has done
Unit Tests Testing a directive is tricky UI-Routes could use some tests
sticky-columns can't be "easily used"
	CSS restyling: Comments status message openlmis-table borders

Performance

Problem	Solution	Tickets

As the application evolves, we need to make sure the OpenLMIS-UI continues to download and start quickly.	Establish data budget Selenium to track application size - vendor libraries, html, translation strings, image sizes Selenium to track download time on 3g connection

Extensibility

Problem	Solution	Tickets

Tooling

Problem	Solution	Tickets
There are large files that have too much functionality, which makes their classes difficult to extend or change. A large part of the problem is identifying the files that need to be changes and fixing them.	Add some tooling to identify these large files, and make secondary tickets to refactor the files to be smaller A known file is the RequisitionService
Jasmine 1.3 is outdated	Update to latest version of Jasmine (Overview of process here)
Scaffolding new modules or file types involves lots of boiler plate	Add grunt/yoman command Automatically add IFFE enclosure to all javascript files Automate minification strings with ngAnnotate
	Set up Javascript linter
	Set up Sass linter

User Input In requisitions, losses and adjustments error messages don't clear until the page is refreshed In requisitions, product grid cells are not shrinking to their minimal size Once a login has failed, a user can't login successfully until the UI page is reloaded Submit vs Sync with server doesn't seem well understuff Christine said: "users don't understand when to use sync with server" When filling in requisition product grid, not 100% obvious which lineitem you are working on SCM manager had popover that showed label of lineitem If there is an error message on page 17 of a requisition, and you are on page 1 → you can't see the error in the pagination component Pagination "First" and "Last" links would be helpful		MW-506 - Getting issue details...

Notifications are wacko		MW-507 - Getting issue details... STATUS MW-510 - Getting issue details... STATUS
Offline Offline is described to be super sensitive. The UI will show that it's in the offline state, when it really isn't. UI doesn't work on a 2g connection - either stuck offline or page doesn't load at all (in a reasonable manner)		MALAWISUP-121 - Getting issue details... STATUS
Memory/runtime/wtf Main navigation links are not clickable sometimes after user login The second page is non-responsive Often have to "refresh" to make page work correctly Loading modal spinner will sometimes stop spinning – this indicates the browser is dropping frames Chrome will ask to kill a page because it is "non-responsive" 3-4 times while editing a user Users and facility administration pages are horribly slow Editing user information page is an act of patience (takes forever to load/start) Timeliness and reporting rates reports are super slow		MW-574 - Getting issue details... STATUS
Caching Dropdown list will say "No Options" but once refreshed will show values		MW-511 - Getting issue details... STATUS
WTF Working on the initialize/authorize requisition periods page is rough for a user Takes long time to load Needs to be refreshed often Periods could be paginated and sorted		MW-471 - Getting issue details... STATUS

Misc Notes

Todo list clearing

Add HTML5 mode to nginx
https://gist.github.com/cjus/b46a243ba610661a7efb
Add postCSS - some styles are not getting poly-filled
Documentation update for directives and cleaning scope
Add documentation for layout patterns. Should be markdown eventually – but confluence is good for now
extra-data component

Hide as many columns as possible
- In Stock Management Recieve - reason entry isn't needed as there is only one choice, the column should not even show
- There are blank areas from lot/vaccination groups → its weird
Odoo allows users to define groups of data, remembering the order that a use clicked buttons to create the group
- This made complex data reporting and editing easier
Make all editable fields in a table required
- Odoo allows users to add additional information to a row in a secondary view (modal-ish)
Odoo allows devs to configure if the system should do 'live' validation or validate once a form is submitted
Module development in Odoo, allows an implementer/user to see the packages that are installed – which makes talking and reasoning about the system possible
