Description
We currently have the follow page for supervisors to look at their volunteers (/supervisors):
We would like to make some small-ish improvements to it.
Goals
As you can see in the screenshot 16 is shorter than 13. This is because the page makes calls to dynamically generated CSS classes https://github.com/rubyforgood/casa/blob/8ce3a077129515cad15a87bc2170f189428e70f4/app/javascript/src/dashboard.js#L342. Those classes aren't always built (or maybe they got minified out). Regardless, using classes like that isn't a good idea.
Count of Transition Age youth does not belong in the "Volunteer Info" column. Lets combine this information with volunteer information instead. Maybe something like:
or the two rows could be overlaid on each other.
Completion Criteria
- Make the table elements scale correctly
- Consider what do to do if the element if large enough that it would go off the page
- Change the transition aged data to overlay the volunteer data or be on another row

Research direction
Start by inspecting app/javascript/src/dashboard.js around line 342 and the /supervisors datatable implementation. Reproduce the page using the QA credentials, then verify that table elements scale correctly, remain usable when content is wide, and display transition-age data in the revised volunteer information layout.
