Papertrail
Overview
Papertrail is a unified reporting library for Teamtools Studio.
Communicating complex information succinctly is a key part of Systems Engineering, but the ease of that communication is often hampered by the fact that engineers who are deep experts in their specific disciplines often do not have the time or interest to learn the nuances of each new reporting tool made available to them. Often solutions are thrown together quickly and made to be "good enough". Furthermore it is a common pattern that these "good enough" solutions are often completed in isolation, with each subteam on a project doing very similar work, but none of that work being similar enough for other teams to leverage it
Papertrail is meant to replace that "good enough" work with a library that is genuinely good. Instead of each team writing their own reporting tools, the Teamtools Studio has written Papertrail to be a more advanced way to interact with each reporting tool and other agnostic file formats that projects may use including:
- Cacher (JPL-internal reporting tool)
- Confluence
- Excel Files
- HTML Files
- Microsoft Word
Papertrail also provides a common logging interface for all projects to use so log messages can be interoperable
