Yubo coordinated the team’s efforts, with Nathan reviewing Luis’s bug fix for managing summary intro, redirecting Jeffrey for linting problems, and engaging in discussions with Yubo about unit testing permissions. Nathan and the team worked on the permissions multi-checkbox, completed data entry, implemented it in various locations, and delved into hook research, leading to code refactoring for simplification.

Nathan further accomplished all implementations of PermissionList, addressed associated bug fixes, and created PR 1548. In a parallel focus, Mohit, newly promoted to the Dev Team, worked on four high-priority PR reviews, investing time in familiarizing himself with the development task selection process.

Despite the substantial time invested in understanding tasks and workflows, Mohit addressed the critical issue of the automatic timer stopping when viewing WBS details. Haohui concentrated on enhancing app features, specifically fixing permissions for editing tasks in PR#1466.

Haohui also worked on developing functionality that assigned permissions to individual users, enabling manager accounts to access projects and edit project details while managing permissions assigned to individuals and ensuring rigorous code testing. Yubo, in addition to overseeing the team’s collaborative efforts, concentrated on unit tests for the LinkModButton component and potentially the UserLinkLayout.

Resolving a pull request (PR) with a failed npm test, Yubo identified that the issue might stem from a permission rebuild, prompting a refactoring approach aligned with recommended practices for consistent code access permissions. Unfortunately, testing the pull was hindered by challenges in permission management.

Yubo provided assistance to Shree in finalizing her assigned tasks, contributing to the overall progress of the team. Yongjian addressed merge conflicts within his pull request, PR #842, which aimed at implementing a dark mode across the entire application. However, post-resolving these conflicts, he encountered an issue where the toggle button and associated features for the dark mode were inadvertently removed.

He compared the files changed on Github and worked on re-implementing the original features for this task in his local branch, aiming to reinstate the functionality as intended. Sávio undertook the assignment of creating the new “Overview Report” page. His responsibilities included designing mock-ups, and prototypes, and exploring Data Visualization techniques suitable for implementation on this page.

Sávio developed two versions of visualization employing the Donut Graph: one featuring attached labels and another with separate labels listed alongside. The complete design of the page was not finalized. The collage below shows some of this work.

COMMON SENSE ECO-MANAGEMENT – SKYE’S SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT TEAM

This week, Skye’s summary, covering their work on the Highest Good Network software, was managed by Luis Arevalo (Front End Developer) and includes Bailey Mejia (Software Engineer), Fan Yang (Software Engineer), Jerry Ren (Full Stack Developer), Roberto Contreras (Software Developer) and Tuan Dinh (Software Engineer).

Fan enhanced the functionality of the software by addressing a critical issue in pull request (PR) #1537, which involved fixing letters with accents and their interaction with the search feature. Tuan authored Unit Tests for TeamsReportCharts.jsx, TeamsReportLogs.jsx, and UserLoginPrivileges.jsx components.

Bailey prepared for the loading task section speed, submitted a pull request (PR) for a new personal max badge and resolved a delay in badge assignment. Jerry addressed issues related to undefined values in `changeBadgeCount()`. He resolved the problem by modifying the argument to `badgeCollection[i].count`, ensuring the proper removal of the last badge earned in a streak.

Jerry also identified and corrected an inconsistency in the mongoose aggregate function, ensuring the correct sorting of streak badges by weeks and total hours. Roberto tackled the time zone API issue, merging a pull request for the Ukraine time zone problem. He addressed multiple decimal points in intangible time entry hours using the `toFixed(2)` function.

Luis addressed a bug and generated a pull request (PR) to incorporate functionality for adding users to projects and granting administrators permission to remove users from projects. He shifted focus to a new feature enabling Jae to monitor the number of warnings issued to users. Luis discussed the details of the features with Jae and started building a part of the project using the Figma design he made.

See the collage below for their work.
