Report view UX improvements when filtering on category

UX
1

I would like to improve the /admin/reports/xxx page category filtering . This improvement would require two tasks:

  • Check every report for category filtering: should make sure that each report in report.rb which could potentially be filtered on category have it, that report_spec.rb tests it and than the category filter is correctly shown on the page.

  • It should make the difference between parent and child category. If you select parent category it should always include children.

@misaka4e21 would you be interested to work on this? I can offer any assistance and review you need on this.

So, is it true that the two tasks are:

  1. Test category filtering in report_spec.rb
  2. Include child category data in their parent category’s report

We need to make sure sub categories are included in parent categories, eg:

First one is filtered on: Support->wordpress and we see there are 2 flags 24th march 2018 but second screen is Filtering only on Support and we don’t see these 2 flags on 24th march 2018:

Also it’s not only about tests about category filtering in report_spec.rb, there are already tests for some of them. It’s in multiple parts:

  • checking if any report doesn’t support category filtering today and you think should support it and then add it
  • add category filtering tests to any report that support category filtering

Also, many of the current reports in admin are missing the category dropdown even though it is applicable, that needs fixing sooner rather than later.
