Some General Questions
Doing some preliminary research for the upcoming seating chart app. Just looking for feedback, comments. Sorry if many/all of this has been covered prior to my arrival. Just trying to get up to speed on this one before I start work on it.
Goal is to evolve this page into a sort of requirements doc for this.
Proposal
Component I : Floorplan editor
- Display an image of the floor plan in a Web interface.
- User can assign landmarks (seats/desks) on the image by simply clicking on a point
Questions?
- do we even need to define 'seats' Is it okay to just have emp icons on the image of a floor plan
- where do we persist this info
Component II : Assign Emp to Seat (landmark)
- In wed interface display the image with 'landmarks' layer
- user can click a seat and 'assign' an emp to the seat
- could also remove an emp (and place them elsewhere)
Questions?
- where do we persist this info
Component III : Confluence of The above with the Moz phonebook
- Seating chart location becomes an ldap field displayed on a phonebook record
- clicking the link takes you to the floorplan image with emp's seat in focus
- in on the "view the seating chart, we enable URI like this
.../seating/skeen@mozilla.com
we would not need to add any fields to Ldap
