Challenge Overview
Project Overview
The Global Service Activity System (SAS) is a hosted web based application used to track project related service activities. Users can create and edit service activity data, perform on-line inquiry, filtering/sorting of that data, and generate either a service activity summary or detailed reports. The reports can either be on demand or the user can setup a schedule for the report and it is then emailed based on that schedule. The user can setup and maintain N number of reporting schedules. The tool provides a dashboard area that the user can add canned graphs that show services activities by date for a specific division. The user can add a graph for each division present in the data set and then reorder them. There is also an administrative function to create and maintain the Areas that are used in the tool.
This project will design and develop a new Service Activity System (SAS) web based application by re-writing the existing FLASH based system to a JAVA based system with an improved architecture.
