Configuring Reports to include download date in their filename and adding "translationKey" to report.json

[jmbabazi (James Mbabazi)]

Hello @ThoughtWorks, @bharatak @sdeepak

I have a few thoughts on possible changes to reports. Please find them in the points below.

• Adding download date to report filenames. Is it possible to add this either via json configuration or in code? I think this is important for data management. I also think this can be straightforward since in excel report headers we have a row stating Report Generated On: $Date.

• Adding translationKey in report.json file. This could serve two purposes:

1. Translation for other languages.
2. Since the headers in reports come from “name”: “$name” key in report.json, the translationKey could give an implementer the flexibility to configure report headers.

What do you think?

This should be possible with code change.

You are right. Reporting Module is yet to be internationalized completely.
