Advanced Register filtering based on the user selected location

[dubdabasoduba]

Describe the feature request.

• This ticket https://github.com/opensrp/fhircore/issues/3068 is adding the ability for users to sync data for locations they select.
• We would like to have a 2nd use case for the location selection UI. This is to filter the data shown on the registers and maps (for applications that use maps)
• The idea is to reduce to amount of data shown on the registers based on the locations that have been selected. e.g if we have synced data for 4 locations and we deselect 3 the register should only show the data for the 1 selected location

Acceptance criteria

• [ ] Only the data for the selected locations should be shown on the register or maps
• [ ] This filtering functionality should be configurable e.g
  • [ ] Have the ability to turn it on and off
  • [ ] Have the ability to use the same UI for Sync and for data filtering

Implementation plan (For Engineers) The plan for implementing the solution e.g. via a description or a check list for the various ordered tasks that will need to be completed. i.e. Describe how you intend to solve the problem

@ellykits I think we can also achieve the filtering by using cascading selectable dropdowns or checkboxes. This way we still reuse the Questionnaire approach in advanced filtering. What are your thoughts?

[ellykits]

If it is possible to render the UI via Questionnaire, then use the answers in data queries that should be an easier option.

OK, then in that case would you define the UI via a content, and do we have a new config file for this?

@ellykits what do you mean when you say the UI? Does it mean the location hierarchy select widget or does it mean the cascading dropdowns

@dubdabasoduba I meant the location hierarchy select widget. The default cascading dropdowns in Questionnaire can be used.

@pld Yes we have configurations for this.
