#10 Report/Journaling System

[Cvetan Stojkoski]

A report system would allow professionals to keep track
of a project they are working on. Detailed information
can be kept in such a system and can subsequently be
referred back to. Implementing this on a web-based
system would allow project members to keep up-to-date
with the work you have been doing.

Such a system would be useful in many fields but I will
approach this from a hands-on scientific (laboratory)
perspective (since this is the majority of the work I do).
Therefore, I can see the module being set-up in the form
of an online book/journal.

The report module should be able to fit the following
criteria:
- Handle multiple projects.
- Allow multiple, editable entries per day/experiment.
- Incorporate images with text.
- Store data files.
- Stamp all entries with the date and time.
- Allocate a reference code for each experiment.
- Display a day's entries. (Simple calendar system)
- Creation of templates (form-based) for common
experiments*.

* Often when doing research you will find yourself
repeating the same experiment multiple times with slight
variations. ie. volume, concentration, buffer etc.
However, the overall procedure remains the same. It
would be nice to create templates of the procedures and
have field (or space) to enter relevant information.
