DEVELOPING THE TFRS WEBSITE FRONT-END (BCDX-MEM-004)

Code Repo: https://github.com/bcgov/tfrs Wiki: https://github.com/bcgov/tfrs/wiki

OVERVIEW OF OPPORTUNITY

The Transportation Fuels Reporting System is being designed to streamline compliance reporting for transportation fuel suppliers in accordance with the Renewable & Low Carbon Fuel Requirements Regulation.

We want you to replace the previously developed Django screen templates (Views) with a REACT / REDUX based front end using the Balsamiq screens we have produced. The REACT front end will utilize the REST API that is currently being developed.

BACKEND DEVELOPMENT:

• A Python/Django server was developed that implements a REST interface and database design for the specifications of the TFRS application.
• The database is implement in POSTGRESQL
• Users in the system are authenticated by Siteminder (via an independent process) however roles authorization is going to be developed in a future milestone.

MILESTONES

As a trading partner I need to be able to navigate through a series of self-service screens to:

1. view information regarding past, proposed and pending credit-related activity including a real-time credit balance and list of activities that may impact that balance.
2. enter and submit the information required to propose a credit transaction to a trading partner; accept a proposed trade from a trading partner and submit that transaction proposal to the Director for approval.
3. view the information entered by the user on Transaction Details screen before proposing it to a trading partner or submitting it to the Director for approval.
4. review before authorising the transaction and submitting it to the Director for approval or saving it for future.
5. post a credit transfer opportunity. The offer needs to have the same information that a credit transaction proposal would have, without the transfer partner. Offer and credit transfers are separate entities.
6. respond to a credit transfer opportunity with acceptance of the terms, or respond to the credit transfer opportunity with a proposal that has modified terms

The Low Carbon Fuels Branch staff need to be able to:

1. input transactions to award credits for a "Part 3 Agreement" or to add validated fuel supply credits or to retire credits used for offsets in annual compliance reporting.
2. sort and search the list of all transactions and be able to export/download the tabular data for analysis in excel.
3. add companies, contacts, users, roles and permissions through the Swagger API
4. recommend approval of a proposed low carbon fuel credit transfer
5. approve the credit transfers
6. retire credits from or adjust a company's credit balance

If selected, is it possible to borrow a Windows machine for on-site development? I have a macbook pro and a windows desktop PC, but no transportable windows machine. Thanks!
