		+	= iDempiere Request Module – Kanban Extension =
		+
		+	'''Plugin for iDempiere's built-in Request module, adding a Kanban board interface.'''
		+
		+	{{Note\|This article describes the usability challenges of iDempiere's built-in Request module and the design decisions behind the Kanban plugin developed to address them.}}
		+
		+	== Overview ==
		+
		+	iDempiere ships with a built-in '''Request module''' (<code>R_Request</code>), a ticket and request tracker for ERP workflows. It is feature-complete, but the interface exposes a large number of fields and tabs, making it difficult to approach for everyday use.
		+
		+	This plugin adds a '''Kanban board layer''' in front of the existing module — no new database tables, no schema changes, just a more approachable entry point.
		+
		+	== Problem Statement ==
		+
		+	{\| class="wikitable"
		+	\|-
		+	! Observation !! Detail
		+	\|-
		+	\| Fully functional \|\| Search, filter, and status transitions all work correctly
		+	\|-
		+	\| Complex interface \|\| Main window contains many fields across multiple nested tabs
		+	\|-
		+	\| Operational fatigue \|\| Each action requires extra clicks and context-switching, accumulating over time
		+	\|}
		+
		+	{{Note\|The module itself has no defects. The problem is the distance between it and the user.}}
		+
		+	== Design Decisions ==
		+
		+	=== No New Database Tables ===
		+
		+	* All data is read directly from the existing <code>R_Request</code> table
		+	* iDempiere upgrades will not conflict with any buried schema changes
		+	* Zero additional maintenance surface
		+
		+	=== Real-Time Updates via OSGi EventAdmin ===
		+
		+	* Uses the platform's built-in '''EventAdmin''' event bus for live card updates
		+	* No external dependencies introduced
		+
		+	=== Permission-Gated Drag-and-Drop ===
		+
		+	* Only the '''SalesRep''' or the '''Requester''' of a record may drag their own cards
		+	* Prevents uncontrolled status changes from becoming support tickets
		+
		+	== Features ==
		+
		+	=== Kanban Board View ===
		+
		+	Cards are arranged in columns by status. Authorized users can drag cards between columns to update status directly.
		+
		+	=== List View ===
		+
		+	A tabbed table grouped by status, for users who prefer a traditional interface.
		+
		+	=== Gantt Chart ===
		+
		+	{\| class="wikitable"
		+	\|-
		+	! Attribute !! Detail
		+	\|-
		+	\| Purpose \|\| Progress visibility for management
		+	\|-
		+	\| Timeline granularity \|\| Auto-adjusting: day / week / month
		+	\|-
		+	\| Displayed data \|\| Start date and due date for each Request
		+	\|-
		+	\| Primary audience \|\| Project managers and stakeholders
		+	\|}
		+
		+	{{Note\|The Gantt chart is a governance artifact. It gives managers a visual sense of control. It is not intended for engineers.}}
		+
		+	== Technical Reference ==
		+
		+	{\| class="wikitable"
		+	\|-
		+	! Item !! Detail
		+	\|-
		+	\| Platform \|\| iDempiere OSGi
		+	\|-
