Adding Custom Fields through Web Application

Status: Design, Req, SW Design needed

User Story

As a researcher (EDM, M&M, CMDM), I want to retrieve transaction data programmatically and append custom fields to transactions in DataShop so that I can more easily run my models on the data outside of DataShop and put the results back in.

Notes/Comments

• Adding custom fields to existing datasets at Transaction Level only
• Needed for M&M and CMDM clusters [Ryan Baker, October 2008]
• Will enable researchers to use output from existing models
  • Gaming Detector [Arnon Hershkovitz, Mihaela Cocea, Summer 2008]
  • Bayesian Knowledge Tracing. [Hao Cen, migrated from feature wish list]
• Key to collaboration.
• Ability to automatically add columns to DataShop data sets at transaction level [Ryan, Startup Memo, summer 2008]
  
• Points:
  • Tx level, Need user incentive to upload values, need associated notes, need graphing of
• Users to interview:
  
  • Ryan, Phil Pavlik, Joe Beck (note to Joe, this is not about adding the models yet, just the results from running them outside of DS)
