Feedback provided to Data Strong on the dossiers, focusing primarily on the geospatial aspects.
Overall, it's great to have more flexibility and control over the dashboards. Though the drawback, is that the multitude of options may overwhelm our more entry-level data users. Even for those on the data savvy end of the spectrum, learning how to configure properly will require some training. Some of my issues noted below, for example, may be as a result of not knowing exactly which buttons to toggle.
Static Indicator Analysis Dossier
Overall:
Countries are missing - is this intentional to reduce size and options for the sake of the soft release? Alphabetically, I don't see countries after Tanzania (Uganda, Ukraine, Vietnam, Zambia, Zimbabwe).
Geospatial Analysis Chapter
Enhancements:
Going to a layer and selecting "show details" allows for a data export that is DRASTICALLY improved over existing panorama exports.
Latent features give promise for the future - ex. ability to had drive time layers, etc.
Great that you can use the space to combine maps and other types of visuals
Drawbacks:
At default, maps are centered around Southern Africa which may not encompass the geographic area of the country selection; User has to dig through controls to zoom the actual area of interest - not intuitive
Maps are difficult to configure which could be the result of using a new tool and non-intuitive controls
Formatting options appear to give you flexible options for configuring legends but when different colors are selected, they do not actually update on the map.
Dynamic Indicator Analysis Dossier
Overall:
Countries are missing, but it's a different set of countries than what was missing from the Static Indicator Dossier
Tried to load for a long time...never loaded with one country, at PSNU & facility levels, two indicator bundles selected, and agency breakdowns selected.
Reduced to one country, PSNU & facility levels, two indicator bundles, with NO agency breakdown and it finally loaded but took a significant amount of time that I think would be prohibitive to country teams.
Geospatial Analysis Chapter
Did not get a map to load when selecting PSNU & facility levels before running the dossier
Tried with just SNU1 and still get an error that no suitable data are found. Could be user error but seems something should load as default.
Testing Visuals Dossier
Overall:
Countries are missing - seem to be the same missing from static indicator analysis.
