Conquering Messy Spreadsheet Data: Building a Low-Code Faculty Activity Tracker
Video Description
Speaker: Neil Liwanag
Administrative teams and clinical faculty are frequently trapped in spreadsheet chaos when tracking activities and incentives. Currently in development for an upcoming pilot, this session shares a behind-the-scenes look at building a low-code tracking application using Drupal 10. Learn how we paired core content modeling with a lean contrib stack—Field Group, Conditional Fields, and Inline Entity Form—to declutter the form experience. Finally, we will demonstrate how to transform the traditional Drupal look into a clean, application-like UI that simplifies data entry and wins over non-technical staff.
Key Takeaways:
- Map complex spreadsheet workflows into clean Drupal content types.
- Use site-building modules to craft a streamlined user interface.
- Gain practical insights from preparing an internal clinical tool for its first pilot.
