The primary purposes of a Canvassing Record are: 1. to identify the areas that
have been canvassed. 2. Help identify areas that need additional action because
they need follow-up, or because the data is old.
Displaying canvassing presents the following challenges:
1. There may be one or two orders of magnitude more canvassing records than
Work Order records.
2. Canvassing Records should be displayed in a way that conveys
geography/location, whether action is necessary, and age of data/ staleness.
3. Conveying canvassing of an apartment complex can be difficult, since the GPS
coordinates are more or less identical for every apartment.
4. A mobile device may not always have internet connectivity (in which case
they may have to enter the information later, at a different physical location)
and/or GPS capabilities. Some user-prompted validation will be required if the
Google Maps API and phone GPS coordinates are drastically different from one
another.
I'm not 100% sure exactly how the map interface should look, but it should
illustrate what roads have been canvassed, and which homes need additional
attention. It would also be good if "older" canvass records are de-emphasized
somehow.
I know that's a tall order, which is why I don't have a good/easy solution.
Note: Issue 114 must be completed first.
