shinyadmin

The code in this repository is used to assist with administration of the Scottish Public Sector shinyapps.io account (scotland.shinyapps.io).

Prerequisites

1. You must be a member of the scotland shinyapps.io account.

2. You must have registered the scotland account in RStudio using an account token and secret. This can be done using the following code:

   rsconnect::setAccountInfo(
     name   = "scotland",
     token  = "",
     secret = ""
   )
   

3. You must have access to the AdministrationShinyapps ADM database used to store the data.

4. You must have access to the Microsoft Form used to collect contact data.

Data

There are three sources of data:

1. App data from the shinyapps.io server

   A snapshot of this data is taken in script 1 and written to ADM in the table server_apps.

2. Contact data collected via a Microsoft Form

   A snapshot of this data is taken in script 2 and written to ADM in the table contacts_new.

3. Historic contact data collected via a Google form

   This data is stored in the ADM table contacts_old.

Scripts 3 and 4 use these data sources to produce an analysis table, stored in ADM as analysis.

Process

1. Create config.yml file.

   This file isn't tracked by git, however the expected format can be seen in config-example.yml.

2. Run the scripts in the scripts/ folder one by one in their numbered order.

Output

These are stored in the outputs/ folder.

1. An Excel spreadsheet containing all available data, split by organisation.

Any additional analysis should be carried out using the analysis table on ADM.

R Package

The functions defined in the R/ folder are used to form an R package, shinyadmin.
