For Discussion

These are off the top of my head. Many are related to or duplicates of the list in the description of this ticket.

Data Management Story

Allow the data manager to manipulate all types of data with the general rule: If you can do something, you can undo it as well.

Data Manager can review all forms linked to a case (whether they are in the case list or not) and choose which forms to link to the case

Data Manager can archive or delete individual form responses

Data Manager can archive or delete participants

Data Manager can archive or delete case events

Cases that are Closed don't sync down -- (added from thoughts on stand-up on Jan 27, 2022

Tablet Storage Maintenance Story

New tools in the 'Maintenance' section of the app

Tablet Administrator can compress form revisions to reduce storage usage (may be available in v3.21 or v3.22)

Tablet Admin can delete incomplete unlinked forms (may be able to handle with on-update scripts)

Platform Improvements

Confirm robustness of data synchronization (may be fixed in v3.24)

Plans to test using pouchdb sync tracking

Next-Gen database (singular, not plural)

v4.0: Participant management outside of cases (introduce document "type": "participant")

Conflict Management

Data Manager can review Conflicts and resolve them in the platform (may be available in v3.21 or v3.22)

Tablet keeps 'filled' forms marked as complete if they are on the tablet

Server 'automatically' links form responses to cases and marks them as complete
