Lets collect here two lists:

tools (be it needed or already written) useful for a shift summary.

• occurrence and frequency of fad-losses (maybe even statistics on boards/fads?)
• occurrence of 27s problem
• lidar visible in data?
• some tools recently done by Thomas:
  • ​http://www.fact-project.org/run_db/test6.php
  • ​http://www.fact-project.org/run_db/test.php
  • ​http://www.fact-project.org/run_db/test2.php
  • ​http://www.fact-project.org/run_db/test4.php
  • ​http://www.fact-project.org/run_db/test5.php
• ​https://www.fact-project.org/dch/quality.php
• ​https://www.fact-project.org/dch/ratescans.php
• tool that evaluates how often which limits are reached (maybe not needed for shift summary, but I think useful for this whole automation business)
• tool for data check (could be also used for defining limits) ​https://fact-project.org/datacheck/dch.php
• ​https://www.fact-project.org/sandbox/AllSkyCloudDetection/
• ...

things you want to see in a shift summary.

• weather during the night? which runs affected by clouds? calima? haze? humidity?
• any rate problems during the night? too high rate? too low rate? / is rate as expected? (correlation with zd and nsb needed)
• any lidar problem?
• were there runs during which the lid was closed but was not supposed to
• any problems during QLA processing?
• occurrence of 27s problem?
• possible car flashes?
• not about content directly but about concept of display: I want to have an overview on one glance showing for each system/item fine/not-fine or green/red and then clicking on it gives me more details (maybe even displaying only things that went wrong is enough)
• were data taken as planned? if not what were the reasons?
• ...

other stuff important / needed / useful to go for robotic operation

I know, it is not exactly the right place, but as these points just came to my mind and we discussed few others yesterday, I put it here - we can move it somewhere else later

• orbit mode (helpful for automatic scheduling to improve homogeneity in data)
• automatic scheduling of ratescan (avoid copy&paste errors of shifters)
• redundancy in shifter-calling program
