George commented on MIFOS-5153:
-------------------------------

ODC consists from 3 parts: 

# Download Data for Field officer
# Data Entry in remote area ( village, center, group place, etc) 
# Upload Data into Mifos

from this  3 items 2 is something we all ( most of us)  agree on: 

1. Download Data using Pentaho BI 
2. Upload Data into Mifos using REST API 


Issues we have different views on: 
1. Data Entry ( web based UI,  GUI Based UI, Spreadsheet based App, etc. ) 
2. Data Format : XML | JSON | XLS | XLSX | ODF | Other 

Let us start from the tasks which we all agree on: Download (PENTAHO) and 
Import (REST) . 
Let us use XLS at the beginning as data exchange format,  as historically it 
was used in most cases, almost all users are familiar with it ( despite of 
JSON) and we will have more contributors, and finally - if in some stage 
decision will be done to use XML or JSON it should not be so difficult to move 
from structure, well formatted XLS to XML|JSON. 


Lukaz - already implemented "IMPORT NEW CLIENT from XLS" functionality. Can we 
now implement "import new loan"?

> Some of our units ( brunches | centers) are in provinces. There is no 
> communication channels in those areas: no internet, no GPRS, no 3G, no GSM, 
> etc. We need to have a off-line data collection interface in order to record 
> data , bring in regional office (where there is a connection to Mifos) and 
> import/synchronize it into Mifos. 
> Easiest way is Spreadsheet ( Libreoffice | Excel) with XML|CSV import macros 
> based on some format. 
> QUESTION1: can Mifos import file? where is the description ( conceptual 
> schema or just sample) of import file?
> QUESTION2[Optional]: Can Mifos Export data to Spreadsheet for  Data 
> Collection? This question is optional because I guess it is possible in 
> reporting (BI).
