''From the files that Ryan sent, it looks to be a Viso dump of the Image meta data that gives the positions of the network drops. Then there is a csv file that links emp to network drop. Was this a decided solution of how to get emps placed on the facility image or just proof of concept , trial and error? It certainly works, I was just curious if we were looking for a more real-time solution or we're good with this batch like solution.''

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
