Technologies and Framework

• Java android
• SQLite Database
• RESTFul API provided by DHIS2 Messaging module for posting messages.

Time schedule

Milestone 1: 8th November

• Document features and architecture on Wiki
  • This project is a prototype of Logistic Management Information System. A simple android form app will take input related to Medical Logistics and will broadcast the request encapsulating all the parameters entered in the form to either single or multiple user depending on how many users are there in a group or organizational unit.
• 

• Show understanding of DHIS2 web apps
  • DHIS2 has quit many web app modules. But there are few which are related to LMIS project. Those are Messaging, Origanizational Units and Users.
  • Messaging Framework is responsible for send/receive of inside (between Dhis users) and outside (email) messages. It exposes RESTFUl API in order to use this framework for message delivery.
  • The location where data is coming from could be any medical facility i.e Health Centre, Nursing Home etc and these facilities belong to one of the Organizational Unit. One OU can have multiple facilities.
  • In DHIS2 user can exist either in isolation or being attached to any User Group or even Organizational Unit. So Messaging module can send a message to either a single user or to any other User Group or Organizational Unit. In case later cases message will be delivered to all users attached to that User Group or Organizational Unit.

Milestone 2: 22th November

• First bare-bone version - static HTML
• Uploadable as DHIS2 web app

Milestone 3: 4th December

• Finished, if applicable also with mobile app.

• Functionality: Delete: There are some areas of improvements found in functionality perspectives. We have a delete functionality of an added commodity. Currently it is working as such 1.      First add the commodity and after adding it rewrite the commodity with the same quantity number in the input field and then press the delete button. Problem: If this function found two or more than two commodity with names and similar quantity it will delete all matches, found in the list. Improvement: There should be a way to identify the specific commodity a user wants to delete. 2.      To perform the functionality of delete all the records are fetched from the database. Problem: Currently this functionality works fine in our context but what if we have a number of commodities and wasting too much time to get all the records for deleting only one commodity. Improvement: Instead of selecting all the records it must use the id of each commodity to delete.   Edit: In our context there must be an option for the user to edit the name or quantity of the commodity. In case a user adds a commodity by mistake, or wants to edit the name or quantity, our current app does not provide any facility to handle this problem. So the edit functionality should be added to tackle this problem to facilitate a user who has some wrong entries in a large list of items.
