Configuring Multiple Report Apps

[darius (Darius Jazayeri)]

There is a real use case here, which we should definitely address.

The original problem we set out to solve was that we had a long list of reports and needed a way to segregate them. There are 2 ways I can think of to fix this problem

1. Add report groups on the main reporting app
2. Add ability to create multiple reporting apps

To me the first option of having multiple groups/categories in the main reporting app makes more sense.

See for example this thread requesting that exact feature (which unfortunately got dropped over the new year):

Grouping reports in different tabs in Bahmni.

Hello Bahmni team, @darius, I was wondering if you have or might have thought about building a configurable feature for the reports tabs. Or if you already have this feature built. The report tabs would make is easier for implementers to groups reports into different categories instead of having one long list of reports in one tab. Currently for endTB, we have lots of reports and we plan to have more. This makes the report tab long and it can be confusing for users. We think grouping these rep…

What’s the argument for doing the multiple apps approach?
