Stephen, I can't think of any specific request for this, but I'm sure its come up before. Additionally, I've spent some time in the past thinking about it, even putting together some mock-up/concepts. I do think this is the kind of forward thinking we need on the Mifos product, to take it to the next level. Seems like such a small arbitrary thing, but the potential for helping MFI staff with their workflow could be big, especially when people are just starting to learn how to use Mifos.
IE - it might be easier for them to get the message, with a link they can click on to take them to the page they need to look at. Some other advantages might be in helping managers and other staff not miss pending work (ie, approving client and loan applications), or even reducing the time navigating the application (its one thing to search for the client vs. the application telling you exactly who to look at). I also think there are some interesting ways to approach this. One approach would be to create a simple rules engine that's attached to roles, so the application knows what to prompt users with specifically. Even more interesting might be to create a learning engine that observes the users behavior and then starts making suggestions based on that - ie, it notices that the role "branch managers" is often approving loans, or that a specific individual is working with specific clients. Really - its about making Mifos smarter. If people are interested, could be fun to put together some concepts and a possible functional spec - Might lead into an interesting volunteer led feature enhancement in the future. Although I know there are some more pressing features at the moment, it might be sexy enough to draw people's interest in working on it. r On Sep 1, 2011, at 9:37 PM, Stephen Kaufman wrote: > Is there any facility in the MIFOS platform to remind loan officers of > events based on dates.
