A comprehensive Area Report is likely to be one of the most powerful/useful things that we could currently produce. Such as report is beyond the current on-screen report that we currently produce.

We have a lot of information about areas (and this is increasing), so it is vital that we integrate this information into a comprehensive PDF-based report that could be used for

  1. Environmental impact assessment
  2. Regional, local planning
  3. Environmental management and remediation
  4. Identifying gaps in ALA data
  5. Research
  6. State of the Environment Reporting
  7. Environmental monitoring

The attached file is a mock-up of such a report. It has been produced after discussion with Linda and Natasha. Some components may take time to produce so some form of background and notification strategy may be required. I would anticipate that users will however wait for 5 minutes or so as long as they get feedback on what is happening. Even "Step 1/20..step 2/20 etc.

Assigning to me for now. We need to work out priorities across the board.

A presentation and workshop around this issue has now been accepted for the Ecological Society of Australia Symposium starting September 28 2014.

Adam has implemented a great version but given the processing required beyond a smallish area, we will need the ability to send to background processing (and notification?).

djtfmartin commented 10 years ago

Agree. Suggest we limit the area size for now as a quick fix. Background processing is definitely required, but we've prioritized sandbox integration and sampling for now so we'll put off background processing + notification until that work is completed.

Tasilee commented 9 years ago

Re background agree - post sandbox. There are however a few minor errors that need urgent correcting and two lists that should be included-

  1. "Arthropods" not "Anthropods" (on-screen report as well). Yoiks.
  2. Expert distributions reported as "0" when there are (for example) 465 reported intersecting the area via the onscreen report. PS: For these, the PDF should just list the species as per species list.
  3. Need to include threatened and invasive species lists (as per onscreen report). These are probably more important than lifeform lists. Threatened and invasive numbers should also be on the 'cover' page.

Done; 1, 2, 3 above. Added progress bar to avoid timeout.

Tasilee commented 9 years ago

Dev: Nice work Adam!! That progress bar makes the world of difference! I could watch it all day :)

There seems to be a problem with the Invasives but I'll close this issue and add a new one once I get to the bottom of it.
