Allow users to download the statewide program allocation factors

Background

To date, Jenn has generated a statewide allocation factor spreadsheet upon request; this ticket is to make that same data available for download from CEDARS. Automate this process.

Requirements

  • New button on statewide program page that allows user to download the statewide allocation factors for all years as a .csv file.

  • For public community users and up (i.e. everyone)

User story

As a public user, I want to download all statewide factors for all statewide programs for all years from the statewide program page so that I can use those factors in my internal systems.

Design

  • Design survey: Feedback closed.

Requirements & acceptance criteria

Any CEDARS user can download a .csv file on demand containing all statewide program allocation factors for all years.

Data file fields

    There is no real consensus on the design choice due to minimal engagement in the survey, so I think we should go with the light-touch choice. If deemed valuable or important, changes to the overall table design can come at a later date.

    Requirements Meeting on 9/3/24

    • Feature is to be available to all users (public / not logged in)

    • Where should it go?

      • Statewide programs page

      • Maybe near the “Download Programs” button (deferred to designer)

    • File for download will be a .csv

    • Will be an independent download and button

      • i.e. it will not added to the existing “Download Programs” button

    • Will be a dynamic file - when data in CEDARS change the download file contents will also update

    • Data will include all IOUs and all years (file will still be small)

    Background

    • These data have been provided via email on request in the past, often around budget filing submissions

    • These data are public in CEDARS currently so there are no data security / privacy concerns with the feature

    This work is up on testing for anyone who would like a look.

    Two questions:

    • Does having the SW_PrgID - SW_ProgramName together under the field name “StatewideProgram” in one field work well or would it be better to have each element as its own separate fields?

    • Do we want to keep in the file the summary provided by the lead PA last time they updated the factors for that program/year? For example:

    • jvrz@pge.com

      •

      Sep 30, 2024

      We would want them separate (PrgID and ProgramName). We will use the PrgID with our IOU prefix to link to our programs when doing allocation work on our side.

      I think keeping the summary is fine but I’m OK if we don’t have it too.

      I wanted to note that the download had a file name inside of single quotes (‘), which isn’t normal. Probably something to fix.

    Please include SW_PrgID and SW_ProgramName as separate fields in the download and keep the summary. Thanks.

    Question:
    Why does the SW factors download have quotes in the filename?
    example: 'statewide_factors_20240930.csv'
