[Archivesspace_Users_Group] FYI: Custom reports

[Majewski, Steven Dennis (sdm7g)]

Followup to my comments on todays Reports call: https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/834994187/2019-04-03+UAC+Reports+Open+Call <https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ADC/pages/834994187/2019-04-03+UAC+Reports+Open+Call>

A number of custom sub reports are available in https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/tree/master/reports/custom <https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/tree/master/reports/custom>, but the facility to create custom reports has not yet been released.  ( Reasons for this was discussed on the call. ) 

I found it was quite easy to add one of these custom sub reports to existing reports. 
We wanted to add the collections_management_subreport to the resources_list_report and the accession_report. 

This was a pretty trivial set of changes to implement:

https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/compare/master...uvalib:collmgmt_subreports <https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/compare/master...uvalib:collmgmt_subreports>

https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/compare/master...uvalib:collmgmt_subreports.patch <https://github.com/archivesspace/archivesspace/compare/master...uvalib:collmgmt_subreports.patch>

And if some of the proper defaults like additions to the locales files were added to the distribution, it would have been only two one-line additions. 

Adds these fields to the reports if a collection management record exists: 

    collection_management_subreport:
      processing_funding_source: Funding Source
      processing_hours_total: Total Hours
      processing_plan: Processing Plan
      processing_priority: Processing Priority
      processing_status: Processing Status
      processors: Processors
      rights_determined: Rights Determined?


Reports, like plugins, do not require a new build: you can just drop modified reports into archivesspace/reports/ directories and restart to take effect. 


We have also added a custom report on users and permission groups, which is very handy due to the limited staff web app view of users.  I’ve submitted a pull request to add this to the next release.
