iHRIS Core System Improvements
Self Service
This would be an expansion of the current role/task system that would allow person records in the system to login and have access to certain information about themselves or the people they supervise.
SDMX-HD
This would allow a direct export of reports in SDMX-HD format.===Mobile Updates / Roll-Call=== Build an interface that can work on various levels of mobile phones to interface with iHRIS. Perhaps using OpenRosa. The Roll-Call module is an extension of this to allow supervisors or workers (i.e. community health workers) to log their activity.
Convert Configuration Data (MagicData) to MongoDB (or others?)
Build a faster interface for MagicData to save using MongoDB instead of MySQL to try to improve speed to this information since it is access so frequently. Will possibly need to retain mysql as a write storage mechanism so that magic data form storage remains fast.
Form and Page Editors
Build an administrative interface to allow customization of forms through the application instead of using module configuration files. Building on that, create and interface to define display and edit pages based on the existing forms so more work can be done through the application instead of manually editing XML configuration files. More information: Custom Forms and Custom Pages.
Context Sensitive Help
Set up more help links within the application so users can get direct access to help instead of having to find the relevant section in the manual. Perhaps even rewrite how the manual is used in the application.
Web Services
Build a web services interface so other applications can access and update allowed data without having to export/import at regular intervals.
Write MagicData Objects as C
Rewrite the MagicData PHP classes in C to speed up usage.
iHIRS Modules
Leave Tracking Module
Add a module to iHRIS Manage to track an employees leave. If done in concert with Self Service this could allow employees to request and view leave details directly.
PDF Printing for Certificates or Other Form Data
Build a separate view to all for the printing of certificates for iHRIS Qualify related to licensing. This can be extended into an alternate view of any form or combination of forms for printing or viewing. This could be a part of the Page Editor. Design Document
Organizational Chart
Produce a org chart for iHRIS Manage that show employees and their supervisors. Could make use of the position report that has an employee and their supervisors Two main possibilities. Make it ajaxy and put everything on the client (maybe use canvas?), or produce org-charts on the server via graphviz.
Job Application Questions
A module to ask applicants a series of standard questions
Reporting
Replace Flash Charts with Images
We would like to remove the Flash charts and replace it with images.
JavaScript Charts
A second step would be to add the option for using Canvas for the charts as well. We'd like to add some additional features to the reporting to allow more complex charts to view the data.
General Reporting Improvements
There are also some smaller additions like displaying all the limits chosen for a particular report so it's clear what is being displayed.
Geographic / OpenLayers Reporting
Incorporate openLayers into the reporting system: Reports which are tagged with geo-data (e.g. Lat and Long coordinates for a facility) will have numeric and aggregate data for the report plotted on a map.
Non iHRIS Ideas
Use Cases Wiki
This would be a module for a wiki (whichever seems best) that will allow easier editing of use cases so this work can be shared. It will make it easier for people making customizations to modify use cases for their purposes.
