AOI Download: Add a button (or URL) for users to view the log of individual AOIs

[lbross]

@jdduh: Copied headline from PSU-CSAR/django-ebagis#28. Need to define requirements for this:

1. Do we show log for one AOI at a time?
2. What information do you want to show?
3. How do you want to show it?
4. Does this replace the current local Task Log?

If history, will be dependent on PSU-CSAR/django-ebagis#54

[jdduh]

How about add a new column, called History, to the AOI list and put "View" with a hyperlink?

1. Yes
2. Complete upload and download history of the AOI
3. Display a plain ascii, html, or xml file in a web browser will do.
4. No. How is the local task log different from the sever AOI log? Are they the same, except that the local log has one additional download entry? The users might need to view the local log even when they are not connected to the server.

1. OK
2. The exact fields for each log entry need to be defined so that they can be included in the web service and passed to the PC client. Work on this cannot begin until Need AOI history log django-ebagis#54 has been spec'd out and preferably completed. Three fields that come to mind are date, user, full/partial upload. What would the download history contain? The user name and date of every download? Is that useful?
3. OK. Will probably re-use code from the local task log.
4. The local task log is limited and (I think) could be replaced by the server task log when available. For downloads, the local task log only contains the most recent download information because when an AOI is downloaded, it completely overwrites the old AOI (with user permission). For uploads, it shows the date/time the AOI was uploaded which, again, would likely only be once since we don't allow duplicate AOI's. Because the server AOI log is never overwritten, the information is more comprehensive and reliable. Jarrett has also talked about including a metadata file with downloads that could replace the local task log for downloads.

Rename 'view task log' to 'View history' and disable button until we have a REST endpoint that supports implementation. PSU-CSAR/django-ebagis#54. There will be no local task log.
