Support to add countries through configuration

[ghachey]

The firebase project "Education Survey Tool Base" is still clearly used though not for the configuration which seem to have moved entirely to their individual country projects (i.e. FedEMIS Education Survey Tool, MIEMIS Education Survey Tool, etc.) So far so good. What is needed now.

• Clearly detail how the "Education Survey Tool Base" is still used. I see all the usage stats there and not in the own individual country projects (i.e. FedEMIS Education Survey Tool, MIEMIS Education Survey Tool, etc.) I think it might be better to have those usage analysis split into their individual country project, is that not possible?
• Can the "Education Survey Tool Base" be used to add new countries? For example, in the Remote Config could we have a setting called "countries" : ["FedEMIS Education Survey Tool", "MIEMIS Education Survey Tool"] with the ability to just add new ones to the list. Then we can simply add a new firebase project like the existing FedEMIS Education Survey Tool, MIEMIS Education Survey Tool, etc.?

@ghachey Can you please specify the reason why do you want to split it to different countries? Maybe we can just add parameters to Firebase?

[ghachey]

@maratomega I am not sure I am following you. For the analytics should be in their respective countries if not too difficult. The reason: the usage statistics of a country should be available to the project of that country and the people of that country. Not all fixed together.

This work is for later this year.

@maratomega please share updates on progress for this one.

@ghachey No work were performed on this one, as you have mentioned in your previous comment - This work is for later this year. If you would like us to proceed with this issue, then can you please confirm if adding parameters to Firebase Analitics to select the desired country (to show the information regarding selected parameters only) with solve this issue?

[ghachey]

@maratomega Is it possible to work on this without affecting anything in production?

[maratomega]

@ghachey we have another suggestion to fix this issue. At the moment, we have one build where user selects the "context", we suggest removing this option by separating the builds by country, meaning the codebase will be one, but for FEDEMIS managers there will be one build, and for MIEMIS another.

Does it makes sense?

[ghachey]

@maratomega it makes sense and we could do that. Note there will need to be better documentation on how to prepare those builds. Let's discuss all of this further in our next call today.

[ghachey]

@maratomega noted that the project "Education Survey Tool Base" may become obsolete with the proposed approach of providing per country builds. This would be good.

While creating a new firebase project I have noted one step regarding the Google Analytics. I wonder if this is not the reason (or at least somehow related). Perhaps we need to create a Google Analytics account for each firebase project to seperate analytics? I don't think this is the only thing at play here as I do see some analytics in the individual country firebase configuration (but more in the Education Survey Tool Base project). But worth looking into.

Other notes based on meeting:

• The new process for adding new countries will be to provide a new build of the Pacific EMIS Education Survey Tool app. We'll also need to create the a new projects in the Google Cloud Platform (with all the service accounts/keys) and Google Firebase (with all the proper remote configuration).
• The ultimate goal will be to remove the "Education Survey Tool Base" eventually but not to be touched until everybody has been upgraded to the most recent build. So no to remove now but confirming we will be able to after we move on to the next builds.

@maratomega what is the progress on this?
