Release 3

Description:

This release represents sprints 5 & 6 for the Kiewit Garage Studio Manager project. The majority of this time was spent on developing and implementing the Warehouse Storage feature. Much of the time was also spent on developing bug fixes for the Kiewit Garage website, many of which are not a part of this release, but some are.

Features Included in This Release:

Warehouse Storage

Work Completed:

• Scan Ncard (#153)
  • Added a new page that allows permitted users to input a NUID to access a given student's project portfolio
• User Correlation (#154)'
  • Updated the database to allow users to be associated with projects
• Check In/Out Page (#155)
  • Added a page to allow users to access the projects associated with their profile
• Bin Form Checkout (#156)
  • Added a method by which new projects can be made and old projects can be edited
• Link Other Users (#157)
  • Updated the database to allow users to be associated with projects they are not the owner of
• Test Warehouse Storage (#158)
  • Added a unit test to assure the quality of the Warehouse Storage feature

Significance of Completed Work:
Completing the Warehouse Storage feature permits the Kiewit Garage to now have an automated process to track the status of projects within the garage. Importantly, the completion of this feature also lays important groundwork for the completion of the Tool Checkout feature.

Bug Fixes

Work Completed:

• Timeless Events bug ((#249)
  • Fixed bug where events other than New Member Orientation would not work
• User Expiration Removal
  • Removed User Expiration from the homepage of the Kiewit Garage website

Significance of Completed Work:
With the completion of the Timeless Event bug fix, admins of the site will now be able to create timeless events for users to access without needing to set a date. The completion of User Expiration Removal removes a unnecessary element from the homepage, which may have led to confusion amongst users.

Release 2

Description:

This release represents sprints 3 & 4 for the Kiewit Garage Studio Manager project. The majority of this time was spent on developing and implementing all user stories from the Initial Config feature and the User Creation Overhaul feature along with integrating TravisCI for CI/CD. Below, you'll find detailed information about each feature.

Features Included in This Release:

Initial Config

Work Completed:

• 24-hour Reservation
  • Changed reservable times for certain pieces of equipment and resolved logic conflicts
• Show 24-hour Reservations
  • Revised the reservation page to reflect reservation time
• Addition of NUID to users
  • Altered existing user database table to add NUID
  • Developed code logic to automatically retrieve NUID of a user if applicable
• Addition of new categories for events and alerts

Significance of Completed Work:
This initial config setup the basis for usage of the engineering garage in which students and faculty could use site specific features. This initial config also helped us analyze the code base to get a better understanding of the logic and connections between pieces of code.

User Creation Overhaul

Work Completed:

• Add User Agreement Expiration to Database
  • Added a new attribute to the User table to represent User Agreement Expiration Date
• Add User Agreement
  • Added a User Agreement section to new member sign up
• Add User Agreement Lockout
  • When the User Agreement has expired, the website forces the user to the renewal page and does not allow for any other access to the website
• Add User Agreement Renewal Page
• Add User Agreement Read Only Page
  • Added a link within the My Account page to view the User Agreements

Additional Notes:

• There was an additional feature for adding timeless events that is used for new member signup but doesn't fit fully into the User Creation Overhaul feature

Significance of Completed Work:
The User Creation Overhaul allows for Engineering Garage specific sign ups and account attributes with the most significant addition being the User Agreement and all of its sub-stories. This makes it so that Garage Studio users must agree to terms of usage for the garage area and tools and provides general rules.

TravisCI

Work Completed:

• TravisCI runs static code analysis on every push to development
• TravisCI runs unit tests on every push to development
• Developers are notified of a failing build

Significance of Completed Work:
Automated unit testing allows for preliminary checking of coding to ensure quality development. Any builds that fail are not pushed so that there is always a working build available.

Statistics:
Number of commits: 146 commits
Story points completed: 41
Lines of code added/changed:
8,827 lines added
685 lines deleted
Tests added: 3
Issue closed: Closes [Issue #208 , Issue #142, Issue #215, Issue #210, Issue #150, Issue #214, Issue #217, Issue #222, Issue #146, Issue #145]

Release 2 Meeting.zip

Release 1

Description:

This release represents our first sprint for the Kiewit Garage project. The majority of this sprint was focused on setting up our development environment, which took up a significant portion of our time. Despite this, we successfully implemented three important features that improve functionality and branding consistency for the website. Below, you’ll find detailed information about each feature and how it fits into the overall project.

Features Included in This Release:

Hiding the Material Pricing Tab (Admin-only Access)

Work Completed:
We added a conditional check in the navigation.erb file to ensure that the "Material Pricing" tab is only visible to Admins or Innovation Studio users. This restricts access for non-admin users and improves security, ensuring sensitive information is only available to authorized users.

Significance of Completed Work:
This feature ensures that only authorized users can see the Material Pricing tab, protecting sensitive data while keeping the feature accessible to those who need it.

Additional Note:
This pull request also contains code related to Disable Parking due to shared dependencies.

Statistics:

Number of commits: 4 commits
Story points completed: 1 story point
Lines of code added/changed:
208 lines added
196 lines deleted
Tests added: No automated tests were added in this sprint.
Issue closed: Closes [Issue #144]
Disable Parking Section

Work Completed:
We modified several files (edit_user.erb, users.erb, me.erb, and new_member_signup.erb) to hide vehicle-related information from users who don’t have specific SS IDs. This ensures that only the right users can see and interact with vehicle-related details on the site, such as parking and vehicle registration.

Significance of Completed Work:
By limiting the visibility of parking-related data, we streamline the website for users who don’t need to see this information while adding a layer of security for those who should have access.

Additional Note:
While changes were made to new_member_signup.erb, we were unable to visually verify them due to limited access to that part of the website. The code is in place and will be reviewed when access becomes available.

Statistics:

Number of commits: 2 commits
Story points completed: 2 story points
Lines of code added/changed:
109 lines added
106 lines deleted
Tests added: No automated tests were added.
Issue closed: Closes [Issue #140]
Verify Page Copy Reflects Kiewit Garage

Work Completed:
We manually reviewed the entire Kiewit Garage website to ensure there were no remaining references to “NIU” anywhere in the text. This was a branding cleanup task to replace all instances of "NIU" with "Kiewit Garage."

Significance of Completed Work:
This was an important step to maintain consistent branding across the site, which helps avoid confusion and creates a professional, trustworthy appearance for users.

Statistics:

Number of commits: No code commits (manual task).
Story points completed: 1 story point
Lines of code added/changed: None
Tests added: Manual verification, no automated tests.

Additional Notes/Resources:

As mentioned, much of this sprint was focused on setting up the development environment, which reduced the time available for feature development. Now that the environment is fully configured, we expect to accelerate feature completion and implement automated testing in future sprints.
