[18:44:11 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> I don't see the common use case that advisors will log into SSP to see the Main Tool for the first student in their list. Again, I know it should work fine.
[18:49:36 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> js70 will probably have a more colorful take on it… but the Main tool, under our current approach, where we basically cache nothing either server- or client-side, is a performance dog
[18:50:11 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> so yes… every extra bit of data we add to that thing is going to make it a bit slower and hog more server side resources
[18:51:17 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> I'll tell Russ we are getting rid of it. Thanks.
[18:51:23 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> hang on hang on
[18:51:31 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> i just want to register the risk
[18:51:38 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> don't worry. I'll say Jim decided
[18:51:55 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> if js70 is actively working on that particular integration now might not be the right time to start digging in heels
[18:52:21 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> but…. overall…. seems to me that screen is unpleasant for both end users and developers
[18:52:23 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> I agree. getting punchy at this point. I do think we should consider not loading it upon login.
[18:52:34 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> my very own person eyes just glaze over every time it comes up
[18:52:41 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> too. much. information.
[18:52:57 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> and the details tab has twice as much
[18:53:21 CDT(-0500)] <dmccallum54> like… everyone thinks they want a dashboard. they don't. they want a speedometer. and maybe a fuel gauge.
[18:53:39 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> agreed
[18:54:07 CDT(-0500)] <js70> that is fixed if you get the latest
[18:54:24 CDT(-0500)] <js70> it is because your student doesn't have a mpa
[18:54:28 CDT(-0500)] <js70> map
[18:55:13 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> cool, thanks. at this point, I'm waiting for the save and load MAP to work to continue testing.
[18:55:17 CDT(-0500)] <js70> Sorry about that. Fixed it about an hour later
[18:55:28 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> but I'll work through the Main Tool as much as possible
[18:58:15 CDT(-0500)] <js70> just checked in the transcript sort stuff.
[18:58:37 CDT(-0500)] <js70> going home.
[18:58:46 CDT(-0500)] <JasonElwood> thanks Jim. peace out
