Project creation workflow 1: Advanced

[spwoodcock]

Problem

As part of the process of overhauling the project creation we have two flows:

• Basic with many defaults / pre-defined things.
• Advanced with a lot more configuration options.
• They should use the same project creation components, but just have a flag to advanced=true.

Solution

• The first step to this is a splash page on project creation.
• The user selects: Basic or Advanced mapper flow, with a brief description for each.
• Clicking 'Advanced' takes us to this flow

1. Project details

• Keep all current options.

2. AOI

• Remains the same.
• Identify geometry type & ask if user wishes to merge multigeoms.

3. Category

• Allow for selection of category and bundled XLSForm is desired.
• Most likely the user will upload custom XLSForm, made easier by Injecting mandatory FMTM fields into custom XLSForms #1722
• XLSForm editing in browser.

4. Map Features

• Allow for downloading from OSM.

  • If the category if of type linestring, do not clip the extract from raw-data-api.

  • If the category is of type polygon/point, clip the extract from raw-data-api.

    This should avoid issues like below:
    

• Most likely user will upload custom data extract.

• Clean the data extract and make it work well.

• Display the feature count to the user:

  • Possibly add a warning if a huge amount of features present >5000 ?
  • Useful for the user to know if their project is appropriately sized.

5. Splitting

• Configuration options for the splitting algorithm:
  • Checkboxes with each feature type we can split by.
  • The data extract for splitting algorithm should be automatically downloaded based on selected criteria.
  • Option to merge geoms for AOI splitting during project creation  #1282
