Agenda

• Reviewing designs for re-completing Completed tasks https://lite-farm.atlassian.net/browse/LF-4737

  • Will users be able to re-trigger the completion flow an indefinite amount of times?

• Requirements for Calendar view for tasks (@Loic Sans can you add the Jira ticket link here if you create one?)

  • Which details from tasks do users need to see in the calendar view?

  • Reviewing what users have been saying about this feature request in Support messages

  • Is this a presentational only change? (no changes needed to the backend)

  • The final user flow will be conditioned by which UI library we pick to implement this

    • Strongest candidate is https://fullcalendar.io

      • Pros

        • Open source

        • Supports localization

        • Supports custom styling

        • Multiple types of calendar views supported

        • Extensive documentation and examples

      • Con:

        • Timeline view is a premium (paid) feature, so probably not a feasible option if that’s something we need

    • Alternative inspired by FullCalendar https://github.com/jquense/react-big-calendar?tab=readme-ov-file

      • Pros:

        • Also open source

        • Also supports localization

        • Also supports custom styling

        • Also multiple calendar views supported

        • Apparently supports timeline view without paying

      • Cons

        • Seems to have less options for calendar view types

        • Documentation is scarcer than FullCalendar’s

Discussion points

• Re-opening of completed tasks

  • Looking at screens:

    • “Fix it now” call to action → re-triggers flow from the very first screen of complete flow

    • Financial implications to editing the task duration – how to address/mitigate this?

    • Should store a status “revised” and the revision date should be visible on the task list

  • Editing task duration & assignee

    • Divya: we are not the main financial

    • Loïc: LiteFarm is used to keep track of verbal agreements about wage etc.

    • Denis: Has received communications from users interested in tracking all finances in LiteFarm and using the salary features

    • Looked at the assignee + wage selection modal and where it occurs in the flow

      • It is not part of completion, but part of creation / when viewing a task before it has been completed

      • Loïc may look into re-triggering this or forcing review of this during completion

        • This was discarded later in discussion

  • Is editing a completed task in this way really less work than deleting it and creating a new one?

    • For a lot of our tasks there is a lot of data to input

  • Keeping a record of the revision

    • Can we record the date and initiator of revision (technically)? – Yes

    • Can we revise a revised task? – Yes; would allow to correct some of the wage-related issues that are introduced in revision

      • What about the 24 hours limit? Is it a moving target?

      • We are going towards no limitation

  • Open questions

    • Should we allow editing the assignee? → we have gone with not allowing this at all

    • wage_at_moment – this is already a bit of a sketchy calculation, we can leave it as is

      • we will continue using the same logic for override, OR for wage_at_moment (the active user wage when the complete flow is submitted – the recorded date of completion has no bearing on this)

    • Finances value will re-calculate after revision; we are okay with this

  • Movement task?

    • The working logic to make sure that animals aren’t moved based on a completed task if a newer task has already been completed should be fine

• Calendar view

  • See mockups here: https://www.figma.com/board/Ns6ZDQQSF085eXVJAUHdMO/Crop-Management-assessment?node-id=0-1&p=f&t=LPUH9ak0uRGkjbPD-0

  • As a starting point we are considering the weekly view to begin as this is most useful for planning your workday / workweek (as a worker)

  • Not entirely sure in which contexts calendar view has been requested

    • Duncan: it really seems the crop overview gantt chart is the most value-add to farmers

    • Team looked at Heirloom Gantt Chart and admired it

    • This view would go in crops, not in tasks

    • Loïc to design a view like this so we could evaluate; it would go in crops

  • Going forward, designs for two things that Loïc, Divya, and Anto will look at in their next group meeting

    • Calendar view (weekly view)

    • The crops annual view gantt chart
