Overview
========

The Certhelper, also referred to as the "Certification helper", is a tool used by Shifters and Shift Leaders at the Tracker DQM.

The primary goals of this tool are to improve the quality of data certification by providing automatic shift summaries and validation, as well as automatic form data collection for most of the needed fields. Before this tool daily shift summaries and weekly shift leader reports had to be created by hand which required a lot of time, that is much better spend on actual data analysis.
