Bufdir Report Period Selection
Feature

User Story

As a Coordinator
I want to have the period selection screen pre-populate with my organization's configured default reporting period when I start a new Bufdir report
So that I do not have to re-enter the same period settings every reporting cycle and can proceed faster when the defaults are correct

Acceptance Criteria

  • Given the coordinator's organization has a saved period configuration, when the period selection screen opens, then the preset or date range from the saved configuration is pre-selected and the record count banner updates automatically
  • Given no prior configuration exists for the organization, when the period selection screen opens, then the most recently used preset is selected, or the current quarter preset is selected as the system default
  • Given the coordinator changes the period from the pre-populated default, when they confirm, then an option is presented to save the new selection as the new default for future reports
  • Given the coordinator saves a new default period, when the period configuration repository is updated, then the change is scoped to the coordinator's organization unit and does not affect other chapters

Business Value

Coordinators who submit quarterly Bufdir reports must perform this workflow four times per year. Pre-populating the period from saved configuration removes repetitive data entry, reducing the time-to-submission for routine reports and lowering the cognitive burden on coordinators who manage multiple responsibilities across volunteer organizations.
