Bringing on to the mailing a discussion, we've been having amongst a number of volunteers working on building out the UI for the SPM framework.
See Now I have some other questions regarding the flexibility of the surveys/SPM framework and how it relates to data tables. Is the surveys framework only for pre-defined scorecards like PPI, IRIS, MPAT, UN SDGs, etc? Or is it also to create brand new "surveys". My first question would be this. If I want to create a survey from scratch (i.e. a completely unique 15-question business plan survey) should I do this via a Data Table or should I use your surveys framework. If the latter, should the surveys framework be used to define a question bank (of multiple question types - free-form, text, multi-select, etc.) and then from this question bank, create a survey (i.e. give it a title, select questions) and then save as a survey). If this is all possible, I want to work with volunteers to finalize the wireframes Nayan worked on and implement this survey wizard to create surveys powered by the Surveys Framework.

So once the ppi surveys that have been converted to XML have been merged into ppi-uploader, for each instance of Mifos X to have access to the PPI surveys a user simply needs to run download and run the ppi-uploader tool acoording to the instructions in the READme: https://github.com/ope nMF/ppi-uploader/blob/master/README.md All the PPI surveys in the tool are then available to all tenants on that instance? Nothing needs to be done to select which tenant or which PPI surveys you want available? But this is done per instance, by running the ppi-uploader tool we can't make them available in the war file so that all the PPIs are available as part of the release download. The PPI-uploader doesn't need to be run at upgrades; only if there are new versions of PPI added in that one wants available. So this makes the PPIs available in the instance but we still need a front-end UI for the web app in which to select an available PPI and capture a survey instance of it, correct? So for the UI, we need: 1) UI to select an available PPI scorecard for a given country and then create a survey instance of this (ideally this could be done at different entities - client, loan) 2) UI to record the instance. For example if in step 1 above I wanted to create a survey instance of the PH PPI at the client level I now need a button within the client record to record survey and then display the scorecard 3) UI to view recorded survey. Now that a survey is recorded, I need to be able to view that recorded survey from the client record and see the date/time stamp/version. Is the date/version all recorded in background able to to be displayed. Now I have some other questions regarding the flexibility of the surveys/SPM framework and how it relates to data tables. Is the surveys framework only for pre-defined scorecards like PPI, IRIS, MPAT, UN SDGs, etc? Or is it also to create brand new "surveys". My first question would be this.
