ER: Long term fix for the new year data not in yet

[DrAcula27]

Overview

We need to add logic to check for the previous year's data if the current year's data is not in yet to keep the map from not loading.

More Info

At the beginning of the year, we have a lack of data. The application looks for data from the database, but it isn't there yet, so it loads forever.

Proposed Action Items

• Add a check to see if current year data exists.
  • If not, request the previous year's data, so the map can continue to load.
  • Change the date picker to show the last week of December.
  • Limit user to previous year via date picker.

Can we look into adding a modal disclaimer as well that populates in the new year when the data has not yet been uploaded? This way the user is aware that their queries would be confined to the previous year until the tool is updated with the new year.

@efrenmarin45 This is a great idea! Created a design: #1893 and dev: #1894 issue.

Once we have a design we'll be ready to assign the task to dev.

I've retrofitted this ticket to be an ER, since it is acting as a discussion ticket relating to data that isn't available, and new tickets have been opened to address the issue.

About this ticket's proposed Action Items: do we have a consensus on behavior of the Datepicker when the 2025 data is not available? I'd like design's input to know if this user flow is okay. I now see why a separate modal/messaging may be necessary if the map does not load. I will make sure this Datepicker flow is addressed in the thread on #1893.
