Product Management

Reporting

• Looked at Automated ingestion of Oriel import rather than managing incomplete fields in a UI

Bulk Upload of People

  • Actions split into two parts - technical and business
  • Business actions:
    • JW to forward to JT a list of example reports that are needed by all/majority of local offices to allow us to see if the data warehouse in its current build can produce these reports. If not it will be improved/fixed to allow this.
    • Use Tableau to test if the reports can be accessed by a variety of end users with the use of filters to allow the production of reports by local offices, programmes, trusts etc.
    • Look at automation of production of reports

Autogeneration of NTNs

• Data flow from Oriel to TIS and additional info needed for NTN creation
• Meeting set up with SMLs for the 28/11/17 to agree/understand NTN creation requirements

Trainee site / desktop view - Long form (responsive up)

More columns at 1200 and 1600  than current Admin site / desktop view (therefore more below 1200) So an increase of columns per break point excluding mobile phones portrait.

Tighter vertical grid (than current Admin site / desktop view)

New way of measuring/labelling vertical grid based all on baselines which will allow type size to be tweaked without breaking grid.

Smaller type sizes (than current Admin site / desktop view)

New graphic treatment so page works when sections are in read only mode as well as edit mode.

1600 max form size rather than full screen

Background / side border treatment as information stays at 1600 and centers when on a 1900 screen.

https://hee-tis.atlassian.net/wiki/x/CwBuBw

Recommend New Trainee site / desktop view - Long form style is carried across to Admin site / desktop view - Long form.

• Funding body added to Posts
• Local office field 'narrow as you type' fixed

Placements

Post

People

• Form validation on all required fields now set to trigger on form load. This now applies to all forms currently in TCS with a 'Create'  method (.i.e Programme, Curricula).

Extras

Alex - refactoring of ETL, microservice and UI

Assessments

• New service built and deployed on DEV.
• First phase of Assessment ETL is completed - Sunil
• UI update - Ola

Test coverage

Unit test coverage on Posts has been improved

E2E tests has been improved across all objects - Panos to summarise

Issues

• PP: Fixed dropdown appearance
• PP: Delete option has been removed from all "create" forms
• PP: Orphanmenu items are now hidden from users

Improvements

Code quality, and code coverage

User Management

• Create admin user has been fully automated behind the Keycloak user creation screen so no requirement for a developer to script users or roles/permissions into the Profile service anymore. (Update roles still to add so permission changes to existing user still need develper input)
• Password Reset implemented and styled within Keycloak including emailing reset token to user, our first outbound system email

Trainee UI

• PP: Navigation menu is now ordered to match the design. Forms has been split to Form-R-a,  Form-R-b
• PP: Mocked view of Form-R-a is in place

  vwCPPSPsychologicalReportOverview - currently only contains 1 column;
  Image Removed
• vwCCPSCaseClose. CaseCloseReason field should be displaying a text reason, but is instead showing a system GUID.

Extracts against DR2 have been running for the past two weeks to test performance

• Blue/green changes are ready in development, planning to release over the weekend.
  • (This will enable development to deploy code without massivly affecting the live system and roll back their changes if they see any issues on the seperate instance removing the blocker/possible implications of 'Friday Deploys')
• Separate Elastic search server and ETL server 
  • (Removes any possible issues caused by having a hefty system such as elastic search on the same system as other services. Applications are now split off anything that could affect them increasing resiliancy)
• Migration of Hosted Docker repositority onto Azure Container Registry.
  • (We now no longer need to be running another instance just for our hosted images. They're backed up automatically and managed by Azure, moving more of our infrastructure into Azure's management)
• Added helper scripts to assist creation of docker-compose files from application.yml files.
  • (Speeds up DevOps development and improves onboarding of new Ops staff)
• Added pipeline and files for Oriel ETL and ESR ETL
• Created mock SFTP server for Oriel Testing
• Refactored a number of playbooks for latest Ansible/Green is now deployed on dev/stage/prod this will allow us to make smaller changes within normal hours. You can check which node you're on by checking the Headers section of the request and looking for X-Request-Node: BLUE/GREEN
• UAT servers set up on production, needs to be redone because it is sharing the production vnet.
• IE 11 compatability mode has now been forced off for all users, this is a meta tag added server side.
• We have a postgres server terraformed under azure managed service that you can use.
• Logs and ES have been seperated and all monitoring changes been made to match new hosts.
• TIghtened up some issues security wise within the infrastructure and saved some money by shutting down unused sample resources.
