Country dashboards for hosted portals #99

Open jocelynpender opened 3 years ago

jocelynpender commented 3 years ago

As discussed in the meeting on Mar. 4th, we are interested in having the country-level data summaries displayed on our hosted portal, as seen on GBIF's summary page for Canada.

Summary metrics are helpful to orient users to the scoped data. @timrobertson100 pointed out that there is a difference between summaries of present-day data and time-series data summaries. Summaries of time-series data are more difficult to display, requiring snapshots to be taken and held. Given that challenge, I don't think visualizing time series is a priority for us. Simple things like occurrences per dataset are useful, showing how present-day data break down, and who is publishing data about Canada, etc. @jmacklin feel free to add here.

Please close this issue if it is a duplicate. I couldn't find it.

Your hosted portal currently shows data about Canada

So in your case a dashboard would correspond to the about tab (image below). Is that correctly understood and what you would like to see? @jenningsdt you have mentioned the dashboard as well - does this capture what you imagine as well?

Canada

Yes, the About page on the country pages as shown above captures what we were thinking for a Regional dashboard. That would be a great start! Eventually, it would be great to have other elements like publications on a regional scale (like More... Publications About).

Yes, this is what we're thinking as a great start! I agree with @jenningsdt it would be cool to add other elements, one day.

Yes, this is what we would like also if possible, since the Pacific hosted portal is showing data for a collective of 14 plus countries.

We would also be interested in showing predefined dashboards in our hosted portal.

I see that a commit has been made for this issue, is there already a way to do it ?

A way that would work for us is, for exemple, to configure dashboards in the config.js file that would show as default ones in the dashboard tab on the occurences page. Showing predefined dashboards on other pages of the hosted portal would also work for us.

There is currently no option to predefine or lock the occurrence/search - dashboard.

But you can add custom predefined metrics to markdown pages. The demo site shows an example https://hp-theme.gbif-staging.org/layout/compose . It is one of those building blocks / predefined layouts that can be used. The data used for the block is here https://github.com/gbif/jekyll-hp-base-theme/blob/master/_data/compose/dashboard.yml

Thanks for your answer. Adding dashboards in markdown pages is a good solution for our needs.
