Custom Search & Report Templates

Description

This project is a single-page webapp designed to provide custom queries and reporting for the ISMI database. At present the following functionality is implemented:

1. Search:

• Select the object class of the entities to be returned
• Search by ID (TODO: include the "suggested results" google-style search widget)
• Compose srcs_4_tar_rel and tars_4_src_rel queries (logical AND)
• (TODO: allow logical ORs as well)
• (TODO: handling so that only legal queries are made to the JSONInterface)

2. Reporting

• Select which attributes to display
• Select which source relations to display
• Select which target relations to display
• (TODO: select how to sort the results)
• (TODO: currently only the ID of the target or source is displayed, so display something more detailed, optionally)
• get HTML output of report
• (TODO: get Microsoft Word output)
