Understanding the User Story

Oct 13, 2025 by leolavanderia.com.br 129 views

As an administrator, managing a list of co2 sensors can be a daunting task, especially when dealing with redundant or non-functional devices. To streamline this process and maintain a clean and organized sensor list, we will be implementing a delete functionality on the admin page. This feature will enable administrators to efficiently remove unused co2 sensors, ensuring that the list remains up-to-date and clutter-free.

Understanding the User Story

As an Admin, I want to delete unused co2 sensors, so that the sensor list isn't clogged.

The primary goal of this feature is to provide administrators with a simple and intuitive way to remove redundant sensors that are no longer functioning or cannot be found. By doing so, we can prevent the sensor list from becoming cluttered and make it easier to manage the remaining devices.

Explanation of the Requirement

We need a button that enables the admin users to remove redundant sensors that are no longer functioning or cannot be found.

To achieve this, we will be implementing a delete button on the admin page. This button will be accessible to authorized administrators, allowing them to select and remove unwanted sensors from the list. The button will be designed to be user-friendly, with clear and concise labeling to ensure that administrators understand its purpose and functionality.

Acceptance Criteria

Sensors are successfully removed when button is clicked

To ensure that the delete functionality is working correctly, we will be implementing the following acceptance criteria:

When the delete button is clicked, the selected sensor is removed from the list.
The sensor is permanently deleted from the database, and its data is no longer accessible.
The admin page is updated to reflect the changes, with the deleted sensor no longer appearing in the list.

Designing the Delete Functionality

To implement the delete functionality, we will be following a step-by-step approach:

Step 1: Design the Delete Button

The delete button will be designed to be visually distinct from other buttons on the admin page. It will be labeled with a clear and concise message, such as "Delete Sensor" or "Remove Sensor." The button will be placed in a prominent location, making it easily accessible to administrators.

Step 2: Implement the Delete Button

The delete button will be implemented using HTML and CSS. We will use a button element with a unique ID and class to style the button. The button will be linked to a JavaScript function that will handle the deletion of the selected sensor.

Step 3: Handle Sensor Deletion

When the delete button is clicked, the JavaScript function will be triggered. This function will send a request to the server to delete the selected sensor. The server will then update the database to reflect the changes, and the admin page will be updated to remove the deleted sensor from the list.

Step 4: Test the Delete Functionality

To ensure that the delete functionality is working correctly, we will be testing it thoroughly. We will test the button's functionality, including its visual appearance, behavior, and interaction with the server.

Implementing the Delete Functionality

To implement the delete functionality, we will be using the following code:

<!-- Delete button HTML -->
<button id="delete-button" class="delete-button">Delete Sensor</button>

<!-- JavaScript function to handle sensor deletion -->
<script>
  document.getElementById("delete-button").addEventListener("click", function() {
    // Get the selected sensor ID
    var sensorId = document.getElementById("sensor-id").value;

    // Send a request to the server to delete the sensor
    fetch("/delete-sensor", {
      method: "POST",
      headers: {
        "Content-Type": "application/json"
      },
      body: JSON.stringify({ id: sensorId })
    })
    .then(response => response.json())
    .then(data => {
      // Update the admin page to remove the deleted sensor
      document.getElementById("sensor-list").innerHTML = "";
      document.getElementById("sensor-list").appendChild(data);
    })
    .catch(error => console.error(error));
  });
</script>

Conclusion

Implementing a delete functionality on the admin page is a crucial step in maintaining a clean and organized sensor list. By providing administrators with a simple and intuitive way to remove redundant sensors, we can prevent the list from becoming cluttered and make it easier to manage the remaining devices. With the delete functionality in place, administrators can efficiently manage their sensor list and ensure that their system remains up-to-date and running smoothly.

Future Development

In the future, we can consider implementing additional features to enhance the delete functionality. Some possible ideas include:

Implementing a confirmation dialog to ensure that administrators are aware of the consequences of deleting a sensor.
Adding a "Bulk Delete" feature to allow administrators to delete multiple sensors at once.
Integrating the delete functionality with other system features, such as data analytics and reporting.

As we continue to enhance the admin page with the delete functionality, we've received several questions from administrators and developers. In this article, we'll address some of the most frequently asked questions and provide clarification on the implementation and usage of the delete feature.

Q: What is the purpose of the delete functionality?

A: The delete functionality is designed to enable administrators to remove redundant or non-functional co2 sensors from the list. This feature helps maintain a clean and organized sensor list, making it easier to manage the remaining devices.

Q: How do I access the delete button?

A: The delete button is accessible to authorized administrators on the admin page. To access the button, simply navigate to the admin page and look for the delete button, which is typically labeled as "Delete Sensor" or "Remove Sensor."

Q: What happens when I click the delete button?

A: When you click the delete button, the selected sensor is permanently deleted from the database, and its data is no longer accessible. The admin page is updated to reflect the changes, with the deleted sensor no longer appearing in the list.

Q: Can I delete multiple sensors at once?

A: Currently, the delete functionality only allows administrators to delete one sensor at a time. However, we're considering implementing a "Bulk Delete" feature in the future, which would enable administrators to delete multiple sensors simultaneously.

Q: How do I confirm that a sensor has been deleted?

A: After deleting a sensor, the admin page is updated to reflect the changes. You can verify that the sensor has been deleted by checking the sensor list, which should no longer include the deleted sensor.

Q: Can I undo a deletion?

A: Unfortunately, once a sensor is deleted, it cannot be undone. However, we recommend that administrators regularly back up their data to prevent accidental losses.

Q: How do I report issues with the delete functionality?

A: If you encounter any issues with the delete functionality, please contact our support team. We'll do our best to resolve the issue promptly and provide you with a working solution.

Q: Can I customize the delete button?

A: Yes, the delete button can be customized to fit your organization's branding and style. Please contact our support team to discuss customization options.

Q: How do I ensure that the delete functionality is secure?

A: We've implemented robust security measures to ensure that the delete functionality is secure and reliable. However, we recommend that administrators regularly review and update their system's security settings to prevent unauthorized access.

Conclusion

The delete functionality is an essential feature for administrators to maintain a clean and organized sensor list. By understanding the purpose, implementation, and usage of the delete feature, administrators can efficiently manage their sensor list and ensure that their system remains up-to-date and running smoothly.
