Add a flag that is the type of request. #4175

Open cielf opened 8 months ago

cielf commented 8 months ago

Summary

Add a request type flag that will be visible to the banks

Why

The banks don't know which request types their partners are using. Knowing will help them supporting their partners

Details

Add a flag to request that will be set according to whether the request is a quantity request, a by-individuals request or a child-based request. Show this to the bank on their request view, and in the request export.

This would enable the banks to see, after a couple of cycles, whether any of their partners are using each request type, and be able to simplify the options available to their partners based on that information.

Criteria for completion

[ ] addition of flag to request model
[ ] setting the flag depending on the kind of request
[ ] displaying the flag on the bank's view of the request
[ ] displaying the flag in the request export.
[ ] tests to support the above functionality

@cielf I can take this ticket.

cielf commented 8 months ago

Go for it!

nathangthomas commented 8 months ago

Would it be beneficial for there to be a default request type? If so which one?

quantity
by-individuals
child-based

EDIT Actually... After digging into this a bit more it doesn't seem like there will be a need for a default request as type will be automatically set each time a new request is made.

cielf commented 8 months ago

That's right -- the type will be known before the request is created.

nathangthomas commented 8 months ago

@cielf are there any specific colors you would like each flag to be? I have included some screenshots of the request index and show pages as well as the export.
