Challenge Overview
Project Overview
The Service Request Tool desktop/web application is be a simple, step-by-step, forms-based application. The user is guided into creating a ‘Service Request (SR)’ that will comprise of various forms that the user has filled out based on the SR scope and related services and activities. When the user has finished creating the SR set, the user is able to submit this entire set via email to the Service center for review and any corrections/updates. The application will also allow the user to save this output as a PDF document.
Competition Task Overview
In previous challenges we've already completed all phase 3 tabs but some challenges were launched in parallel. In this challenge we need to merge the tabs and make sure existing features are not broken. The tasks involve:
- Merge phase 3.2 code into phase 3.5 and make sure no features are broken
- The phase 3.5 code is more up to date than phase 3.2 so we want to merge the new tabs from 3.2 to 3.5 instead of from 3.5 to 3.2
- Make sure the features in the PDF are not broken
- Make sure PDF export is updated to include the correct tabs fields.
