gsm.app v2.5.0

We now support multiple group levels! We also provided more options to allow app admins to optimize data fetches.

New Features

• If dfResults included multiple GroupLevel values, apps now include a "Group Level" drop-down menu to choose between those levels ("Site" vs "Country", usually) (#203, #216).
• We added a new argument, fnCountData. By default, we use fnFetchData to fetch data and then count it for the "Domain Details" tab, but this argument allows app admins to provide faster functions when we only need a count (so we don't have to load all data when the user navigates to that tab) (#441).
• We overhauled the way data flows into plugins, allowing for greater flexibility in how plugins function. Importantly, plugins now have access to Subject-, Group-, and Study-level domain data. Plugins can also access the gsm Data Model data (dfAnalyticsInput, dfBounds, dfGroups, dfMetrics, and dfResults). As part of these changes, data fetching has been optimized to subset cached data when available. We hope this will speed up some slow operations (#430, #435, #438, #440, #447, #450).

Other improvements

• The sample data is now more robust, and has already allowed us to find one issue which might turn up in real data (when a particular site doesn't have data for one or more KRIs) (#398).
• Each tab now has more control over its own interface, rather than requiring a large sidebar on every tab. As a result, the "Metric Details" tab has a more streamlined (and hopefully easier to navigate) interface (#428).
• dfAnalyticsInput can now provide information from multiple SnapshotDates (#455).
