Technical Implementation

Backend (Django)

• Custom User Model: Extended for company association and roles
• Database Models: Structured for efficient data storage and queries
• View Logic: Separation of concerns with dedicated view functions
• Form Handling: Validated data input and file uploads
• Data Processing: CSV parsing and structured storage
• Template Context: Prepared data for frontend rendering
• URL Routing: Clean URL structure
• Access Control: Permission checks throughout

Frontend

• Bootstrap 5: For responsive layout and UI components
• Plotly.js: For interactive charts and visualizations
• jQuery: For AJAX functionality
• Font Awesome: For icons
• Custom CSS: For styling enhancements

Data Flow

1. Upload Process:

   • File validation
   • CSV parsing
   • Data normalization
   • Record creation
   • Association with company

2. Dashboard Generation:

   • Data aggregation
   • Statistical calculations
   • Chart data preparation
   • JSON serialization for frontend

3. User Authentication:

   • Login/registration handling
   • Session management
   • Permission checks
   • Access control based on company

Deployment Configuration

• Docker: Containerization for consistent deployment
• Docker Compose: Multi-container orchestration
• Nginx: Web server and static file serving
• PostgreSQL: Production-ready database
• Gunicorn: WSGI HTTP server

API Structure

While the current implementation does not have a formal REST API, the foundation is in place for adding one in the future:

1. Dashboard API: Already implemented for chart data (JSON responses)
2. Data Source API: Potential endpoint for uploading data programmatically
3. Chat Session API: Could expose data for external integration

Testing and Development

• Sample Data Generation: Management command to create test data
• Local Development Setup: Easy configuration with sqlite
• Production Deployment: Docker-based for scalability

Security Considerations

• Authentication: Django's secure authentication system
• Data Isolation: Company-specific queries prevent data leakage
• Password Management: Secure password handling
• CSRF Protection: Django's built-in CSRF protection
• Input Validation: Form validation for all user inputs

Future Extensions

The architecture supports easy extension for:

1. API Integration: Direct connection to chat platforms
2. Real-time Updates: WebSockets for live dashboard updates
3. Advanced Analytics: Machine learning integration
4. Customizable Reports: Report generation and scheduling
5. Enhanced Visualization: More chart types and interactive features
