User Journey Flow Discussion - Sensor Data Platform

[mosoriob]

Overview

This issue is to discuss and refine the proposed user journey flow for exploring and visualizing sensor data across campaigns, stations, and individual sensors.

Detailed Journey Stages

1. Authentication & Campaign Access

• User logs in via OAuth2 password flow
• Presented with list of available campaigns

2. Campaign Exploration

• View all accessible campaigns
• Current filtering capabilities:
  • Campaign name
  • Date range
  • Sensor types.
  • Contact information
• Discussion Point: Should we add geographical filtering or other metadata filters?

3. Station Exploration and Selection

• View stations within selected campaign
• Current filtering:
  • Active/inactive status
  • Station name
• Discussion Point: Do we need station grouping or hierarchical organization?
• Please use the Station Visualization and Interaction Design #13

Types of measurements (e.g., Weather, Water Quality, Air Quality)
Operational status (Active/Maintenance/Offline)`

4. Sensor Data Visualization

• View sensors for selected station
• Configure visualization parameters:
  • Date range selection
  • Minimum measurement thresholds
  • Multiple visualization options

Open Questions

1. Campaign Discovery:

   • How can we make campaign discovery more intuitive?
   • What additional metadata would help users find relevant campaigns?

2. Station Organization:

   • Should stations be displayed on a map?
   • Do we need station clustering for campaigns with many stations?

Next Steps

1. Review and discuss the proposed flow
2. Identify missing requirements or use cases
3. Prioritize additional features
4. Define detailed specifications for each stage

Request for Comments

Please share your thoughts on:

• Missing user journey steps
• Additional filtering needs
• Visualization requirements
• Performance considerations
• Security requirements

Let's discuss these points to ensure we create the most effective user experience for our sensor data platform.
