Edit/Create Activities via Google Spreadsheet #205

Closed SmokyBob closed 9 years ago

SmokyBob commented 9 years ago

As discussed in the Montly GDE App Hangout of 20150310: To ease the edit of the impact on activities, build a Google Sheet with the following features:

  1. AutoUpdating sheet with the activities of the last X Month/s (a month, a quarter?)
    • Update data from the backend OnOpen to avoid too many calls to the backend
  2. Data pulled from the API are for that GDE only
    • Should be possible to authenticate calls from GAS to the API with the current user
  3. Automatically push updates/New activities after validation
    • Check if the minimum required values are present before pushing any update
    • Add a "Status" column to show if the row is Synced/Missing Data/Error Sync, etc...
  4. No support to Delete Activity

Some things to consider that I don't have a clear idea how to implement:

  1. Support for activities with multiple activity_metadata:
    • By adding different set of columns for each activity based on the number of activity_metadata?
      • maybe using different background columns to highlight the group
  2. Activity Creation, should we support it from the Spreadsheet or only Edit?
    • The Main problem is that we might end up trying to create a new activity if the user copy and paste the same activity into a different row or delete the id column (that would be in an hidden column... but happens)

Ideas/feedback/volunteers are more than welcome.
