Search tab to access a facilities report #39

Open savannahramirez2 opened 3 years ago

savannahramirez2 commented 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I think the map visual is great to get an idea of where toxins are in comparison to a facility. However, I a log report would be a great addition to my web experience.

Describe the solution you'd like I would like to suggest a tab next to "interactive map" that allows users to search all facilities with each criterion (# of TRI sites, # of superfund sites..) and be able to access a report. Preferable for the report to be on the site (not forcing users to always download the report) and have the option for a printer-friendly PDF download.

Describe alternatives you've considered Currently, I have to interact with the map sorting through each facility individually. This is a bit difficult since sometimes the serve crashes and I have to filter through my search again. I will be sharing a screenshot of the error once it occurs again and submit a bug report.

Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here.

Wahoo! your first post on github! congrats!

in terms of the report, do you meaning a table of all the facilities that meet that criteria of your search?

Savannah is doing different searches/filters and then by hand writing which facilities are in the responses to these searches. So downloading a table or viewing a table could be helpful to leverage this tool for research. so maybe a csv download and a pdf?

correct me if i'm wrong! just trying to clarify for Lindsay where this is coming from and what you are hoping for. big thanks!

Hi all!

Yes, viewing a table of all the facilities that meet that criteria of the search would be helpful! I think the added feature on the site could be helpful for feature users as well so the added "tab" could be a solution or an option to download such a report as well. Let me know if this makes sense.

Thank you for your hard work on the site and enhancements!

Hi all!

I've begun working on this issue and want to document where I am at and the steps I will be taking in the upcoming weeks to complete this issue.

The changes to the code are located under the facilities-search-tab branch. I have created a "Search Facilities" tab next to "interactive map" There is an auto-complete drop down button with a list of carceral facilities available to select There is a search button for the user to click once they've selected a facility

TODO: The next step would be to render a text output. (I don't think this will be too complicated, but its a matter of learning R syntax) Next, create printer-friendly PDF download option button Finally, design/layout update
