Make sure to indicate that Rehab event notes are from rehab #131

Open johnpauls opened 5 years ago

johnpauls commented 5 years ago

When a pseudo-event is converted to a real event, the event note gets the date of the real event, not the date of the psuedo-event. This has the potential to make the notes a little confusing if the situation changes between the rehab and the event. To minimize this, event notes from rehab should indicate that they are from rehab.

Example - during rehab of GWMP-0254, it was noted that a tree tag was missing. We found the tag, but then we had data for a tree tag and an event note seemingly from the same day that said the tag was not there.

Clarification:

Pseudo-Events (Rehabs)

Converted Pseudo-Events (Rehabs) that are now Real Events

Per @johnpauls comments, adding "Rehab note: " or similar to event notes made during a rehab will make it clearer that the notes were made during the fall rehab.

All forest veg personnel should review (@johnpauls, @lizmatthews03 , @abrolis) to ensure this workflow adjustment will avoid the confusion.

@johnpauls, @abrolis, @lizmatthews03 -

Currently...

When an event is still a pseudoevent we can update the event's note to include the phrase with the original pseudoevent's event date. For example "[Converted 6/30/2020 rehab (pseudoevent)]"

However, as @johnpauls noted in this issue - once the event has been changed to a regular event, there is nothing to identify it as a former pseudoevent. Adding the "[Converted 6/30/2020 rehab (pseudoevent)]" message will help, however this remark can be erased with an edit. There also is nothing that retains the original pseudoevent's date as it resides in the same field as the event date since in the end it is a single event record.

To fully address this issue would require the following:

This process suggests a re-think of how pseudoevents work. Perhaps they should reside in a separate table for pseudoevents that is displayed via the typical browse display as both are displayed, but actually located in separate tables (tbl_Events & tbl_PseudoEvents - or similar).

Issues #193 and #194 address some ways to retain the pseudoevent / rehab date and its notes separately from regular events.
