## BIG PICTURE TO RELEASE
March
loose ends
Workorder*, quote*, pm* implementations
case 3850 has all the good stuff about how to do this, UI concepts are basically worked out at this point and contract and po have resources to copy from for error / lists etc
April
Schedule form
Review all v8 cases top to bottom and triage / implement
V8Migrate completion
All stock reports (and schedule ones)
2FA - same as DO authentication code app
May
Manual pages
Extensions to replace current add-on's (accounting etc)
Load testing
Beta testing
Rockfish / Back end infrastructure
Biz decisions about hosting etc
June 1st
Release!
## CURRENTLY WORKING ON: misc client items then migrate
just burn through, skip any that are low priority or will naturally get worked on as part of workorder etc
## MISC ITEMS THAT CAME UP
## E2E TESTING
## V8MIGRATE
todo: custom fields field names are not coming across, still show "Custom 1" when shoudl show whatever is set
todo: assigned doc not found text has too many newlines in it, should just sit on one line in exported notes
todo: dirty big test again with contracts etc
todo: v8 migrate additions
Erase DB warning must be very distinctive like bright yellow and red with crossbones etc
Report sent *to* the new server upon completion (any state) via MEMO to superuser
should send the entire contents of the output screen error or not as it will contain useful info like dupes not exported etc
Duplicate id not exported
found this in the wild with 4a database 4 workorders not exported due to this
message doesn't clearly say that number was exported already
is there a way to still export them?
Is it possible to login during migrate to the v8 server?
Need a running count per item, I have the total at the start so it should show what item it is currently processing of that count like 50/1000 or something
## CLIENT MISC ITEMS
..........................................................................................................
* todo JC misc list:
****************
******************
Tags
*****************
(italic is mine original message, your original response in []. The **** is my reply to yours)
How do I "see" ALL possible tags so I as an end-user can pick an existing tag OR so I can see the format of how tags are entered in my company (i.e. my company might use a prefix PC for a Part Cateogry or a DZ for a dispatch zone, or enter dispatch zone names by main street instead of east/north etc - and a supervisor won't want to have to manually sit with each staff and tell them what to do, thinking it should be intuitive...)
[not a feature currently. What are your thoughts on what is should look like and where it would go?]
Where can I as an end-user see ALL tags? what if I wanted/needed to remove/edit the same tag everywhere can't I do so from a list of available used tags - i.e. tag "blue" no longer used, want it removed from everything?
[not a feature currently. What are your thoughts on what is should look like and where it would go?]
****When I click to enter a tag (but have not yet typed anything), I'd expect/like to see a list of ALL existing tags drop down that I can then scroll down and select(doesn't do this as of right now March 15 2021 alpha-104). Whereas if I instead start typing a letter, then I would expect to see a dropdown list of tags that start with that letter (does this already!)
**************************
PO
*************************
(italic is mine original message, your original response in []. The **** is my reply to yours)
Is this as expected? Statuses don't automatically change at ANY point .... I take it that the status is FULLY up to the user. And the default appears to be Open - On Order UNLESS the end-user themselves actually changes it.
[Yes, completely up to user how they choose to use it. It's so different in how it works I struggled to find a system that woudl work automatically and not get in the way. The status before was tied to how it worked but it doesn't work that way anymore and technically users could just hide it if they don't use it. If you have any suggestions on something different I can look into it, just couldn't think of a clean automatic system at the time]
***OK no further suggestions at this time
(italic is mine original message, your original response in []. The **** is my reply to yours)
ISSUE **PO numbers duplicating:
the last generated PO # was 22. I edited an existing PO 17 to use PO 24, saved, all good. Created another po while testing stuff it used 23. And then I created another PO and I expected this PO to jump 24 and instead be labeled 25 BUT it TOO automatically set itself to number 24. So now I have TWO pos with number 24 (yes yes me as enduser can go in and change, so is this expected that numbers WILL ALWAYS be whatever raven decides and never actually follow +1 from the last biggest number?)
[Yes this is still a work in progress. I thought originally it might be a cool idea to make it editable or at least in case there was an issue or something but how you saw it working is how it works, it doesn't take into account existing records and needs a command to the db to reset the seed number separately. I could make some code that checks on save if the PO serial has been overridden and tries to force the serial number seed value to change but saw all kinds of potential issues around that too. (performance issues, could mess up another user also saving a new PO at the same time; user could accidentally enter a huge number and then it's stuck dishing out more huge numbers automatically etc). I was thinking maybe make it read only except for the superuser account only who could login to make changes and separately reset the next serial seed number in Global settings to avoid the issue you found with duplicate numbers. What are your thoughts on this?]
***taking into account what you wrote and what has been experienced:
- I too believe that users WONT want Raven to automatically find the highest number and force the next PO to +1 of the highest - for example: a company could have some fucked up numbers in the high millions due to previous SQL issues but wants to restart going forward from the number 1000.
- Based on what you wrote above, I take it that the db maintains its own "seed" number that updates internally somewhere as a new PO number is saved/assigned to a PO object.
- My suggestion: have a field area in the Global Settings for a setting labeled "Next PO Number"
(Preferred display) IF this seed # is easily obtainable, then prepopulate this field"Next PO Number" with the next expected "seed" # .
If user wants the "seed" number to be higher or lower then what are on existing POs to date, they totally can edit this field, save and the "seed" number gets changed.
Then use similarly for Workorder numbers, Quote numbers, PM numbers
******************
Receiving PO ITems:
******************
(italic is mine original message, your original response in []. The **** is my reply to yours)
Is this as expected? - Click on the Edit, opens to the editing of PO. if enter in a specific number to receive (i.e. ordered 5 received 2), didn't realize that clicking Receive causes ALL to be received.
I understadn that majority clicking on Receive works best - AND if want to receive partially, need to click ONLY on Save. BUT did want to point out that it is not obvious. Then again, don't want it to be overly with info and user can see AND can edit...
[I could change the translation text to "receive all" or put the "ordered" amount to the right of the Receive text so it says "Receive 3" for example? What are you thoughts on that?]
****I'd say to have the action button text changed to "RECEIVE ALL" - the ALL will make MUCH more obvious what expects to happen when click on, without having to .
******************
Filter Manager / filtering on list (this was NOT previously sent to you)
******************
***When select "-" in the Filter Manager, I expect that no filtering/sort order etc, will be applied. I expect that selecting "-" resets all back to nothing.
BUT when I select the "-" in Filter Manager, the last filtering/sorting that was used on the grid REMAINS. Wanted to bring this to your attention in case there to confirm this is as expected?
Scenario: Filter on one or two columns. Sort on one or two columns. Via Filter Manager save this as a filter view. Now select "-" in the Filter Manager (at which point I expect that selecting "_" would remove the filtering and sorting and reset the datatable back to no filtering/sorting.
***************
Taxes*
***************
You added additional decimal places as I requested. BUT I believe I was mistaken to request because I was once again still getting the the wrong impression what the format is.
REMOVE THE extra decimal place - make it so max of two decimal places so if have a 6.25% tax would enter in 6.25; if 16.75% would enter in 16.75 I know of no known tax rate that has more than 2 decimal places.
Taxes won't let me change an existing Name if previously selected on any other record. Scenario: A change happens to a tax %. and Admin needs to keep using the old tax for some things BUT wants users NOT to select this "old" tax for other stuff.
Taxes won't let me change the existing Active status if previously selected on any other record. Scenario: This is the most common use - there is a change to a tax %. So they want to set a tax to inactive so no one selects it anymore. BUT as of right now Raven won't allow editing of a tax, even just the Active field, if that tax has been linked (selected) with any other record.
*Name and Active for taxes brought to your attention in a previous email. Including it here so all together in one doc.
...................................................................................................................................................................
todo: reportClientMetaData in gzapi has DefaultLocale property in it which is just part of the language, can it be removed?
it might be buggy if there is no dash in the language? Is that a thing?
check at server how it's used
todo: confirm erase database should reset all id values if they aren't reset already so that future data doesn't result in a new PO starting at 29000 due to huge db trial seed prior
todo: Popup notes now AlertNotes - a whole section of important notes at the top that shows *all* notes combined like customer popup and contract notes
that shows all the time in the workorder UI with an option to minimize maybe or something
This would be better than popup as it's always visible not dismissed and less ui fuckery to boot.
See case 3855
todo: use trans key "AlertNotes" in place of any popup notes variation
todo: poitem edit form currency fields when updated by server on save lose currency format and show as raw decimal number
maybe currency control does not respond to underlying data changes it didn't initiate?
seems maybe it's ok in main form but that's maybe just because it doesn't change values automatically
todo: datatable single select mode, is this even a thing?
if not then I should remove that code, it's just taking up space and complicating shit for no reason
todo: many stock reports could be made now for most objects
todo: it's a bit hard to click on a single digit or character link in a data table
e.g. serial number 1 of a po
can the region be expanded with invisible text or something?
todo: WHEN HAVE WORKORDER FORM customer alert notes
todo: remove widget now? Back and front (comment out obvs not remove entirely)
## SERVER MISC ITEMS
NOW
....
What up with this and can it be blocked from logging / something simpler logged instead?

todo: is there a way to tell if other connections are being used to AyaNova db
like a utility or they are fucking around and it's affecting performance etc
LATER
......
todo: Changes to allow in place updates of server without erasing data:
Needs to be supporting this early as possible so that upon release we can easily make changes without breaking existing setups or forcing complex actions
how to add locale keys in future after release without erasing all data?
Ideally I'd like to continue on to just edit the json translation files and the server looks for missing items and adds them automatically
so that it just works without having to erase the db
maybe a version on translations so it knows which one it's dealing with?
But then again, if it just checks them all it can fix anything missing automatically in case of fuckery and not assume they are ok
Stock locales can just be completely replaced at any time, custom ones need a fixup,
Custom locales should include where they came from (which language) so can more easily add new keys
Schema updates in place not require full delete
todo: figure out method to determine all translation keys actually used and remove unused ones entirely as they will show in the Translation ui and don't want to confuse people
Note: can do a search in Code editor at client for ay.t( and it will show all the translation keys fetched in code for the most part other than grid columns
can click in results and copy all to text which could then be processed to find all unique values??
Or, just exercise the whole app and all lists and then can pull from the local cache in the browser!!!
todo: NOTIFICATION after the fact
what happens when a user subscribes to a notification after an object was created
for example if a unit has a contract and they subscribe to contract expiring they won't get notified about units unless they are edited and saved
*after* the user subscribed
What did v7 do?
How to handle this??
Ideally it would work with existing objects and not require them all to be edited or is that an issue, can it be good enough that it works going forward?
Most subscriptions won't matter as they are direct immediate and one off but the timed and aged ones are definitely an issue.
It might have to run through those and subscribe in the user, maybe a static op on a *Biz object that you call and say "subscribe this user to all subs" and it iterates
the biz objects one by one and sets as appropriate??
todo: GetWorkorderSerial/name from leaf nodes
traverse up the tree and fetch the serial number
once coded fixup in purchaseorderbiz::getasync MIGRATE_OUTSTANDING bit
todo: tag search in picklist, does it support more than one tag? I forget
no, no it doesn't. Hmmm... fuck
maybe they can enter unlimited tags as long as they have a ..before each one?
Users may need to "triangulate" on to an item by multiple tags
todo: unit meter reading event?
TODO: //MIGRATE_OUTSTANDING comment tag
search for this comment tag as it will contain items that could not be done until other items were migrated first
The tag will contain the description for each
todo: many biz objects are not using new PUT methodology
Might be because new methodology assumes complete PUT object as a entire replacement not a partial update
some of these objects (User) do partial updates so....
also this includes *all* of the initial workorder object so there's that
might be that they don't need it but for consistency should check into it

CURRENTLY DOING: LOOSE ENDS, my misc above and Joyce Misc list items below
working up to workorder which has to be done in next 3 weeks. Look into it and will likely spot things that need to be done before it that I missed
todo b4 starting workorder list:
WorkorderStatus (check cases, very many supposedly, but they are likely more about the workorder and notification than about the status itself)
------------------------------------------
EACH OBJECT DEV CYCLE:
FIRST
Check cases, make sure not changing the object fundamentally, many v7 objects are going to change for cases (particularly inventory related)
BACK
AyaType and associated code
BizRoles
Model and Database Schema and AyContext
DbUtil EraseAllData method
Update function PUBLIC.AYGETNAME in aySchema for new type
Biz object and all supported interfaces (searchable, exportable etc)
Reportable Viz fields if reportable
Biz Object SEARCH Index / getsearchresult code add unique text fields
Business rules port from v7 and new ones
ValidateCanDete MUST check if any foreign key constraints and return proper error rather than bombing on attempted delete
Do check constraint first then biz rule so can test down to db
ALL biz rules where possible must have mirror db constraint to avoid fuckery with direct modified data
Notification code if applicable
Controller routes and associated code
Translation keys
FormFieldReference for object if it posesses an customizable form
DataList if applicable (be minimal with the default fields)
Picklist
Seeder generate samples
If anything needs to be changed down the road then flag it in comment with //MIGRATE_OUTSTANDING
FRONT
AyaType / rights
front route
List form
Edit form (## TEST ALL INPUTS ON EDIT FORM, DON"T ASSSUME THEY WORK)
Add to smoke test !!! VERY IMPORTANT
DOCS (at back but with front links, maybe not fleshed out just placeholder ok for now)
REPORTING
Reportable & VIZ fields
DASHBOARD
Add widget if dashboardable https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cEesyryhM0zYkH0PEswiuOezUTA_Nv5Xn3jfBczdQmk/edit
IMPORT
imports and flows through to new front end viewable and searchable and printable etc
## OBJECT ORDER
Preliminary order to get the ball rolling, these are the easiest starting point:
Inventory Migration
migrate inventory added to v8migrate as final step of export; code it based on balances and also insert serials etc
it checks the balances in v8 then compares to v7 then issues an adjustment to bring into sync
this way (last thing) we are always covered no matter what happens with wo import etc
WorkorderStatus
no dependencies, possibly many cases, read over carefully before implementing
Workorder
When do this need to go back and do a bunch of //MIGRATE_OUTSTANDING
i.e. show all
todo: Consider adding latitude / longitude to wo, quote, pm objects
rate split
can copy over from the unit or customer or set themselves
and can always hide
means wo could be scheduled for ad-hoc locations and serviced that way, i.e. a truck parked on the side of the highway etc
Quote
PM
Schedule form

todo: can beta test at this point
See below, specific ideas about public beta test (User accounts not seperate installs maybe)
post installer, enlist trial users get feedback, don't get too down when they shit all over it as they will undoubtedly :)
remember, it's for the new customers primarily, new customers = new $$

WORKORDER UI
todo: Investigate Workorder structure and datagrid see case https://rockfish.ayanova.com/default.htm#!/rfcaseEdit/3768
Likely that workorder grids inside will not be full blown custom datagrid I wrote but just a vanilla v-data-table control since there is likely no need for the full customization shit
todo: workorder UI layout stuff (TTM!! Don't re-invent the wheel!)
There's been a lot of ideas about wo floating around and considered, but at the end of the day what I have works so maybe try to meld
into what I have the new concepts and see what comes out. Support a rich wo UI on big screens and scroll around UI on phone maybe.
some notes:
Workorder UI good ideas here: https://rockfish.ayanova.com/default.htm#!/rfcaseEdit/3475
Basically (based on RI) it boils down to don't make the user go up to the workorder item level when they can go sideways directly to an alternate child of woitem
i.e. going from parts to labor shouldn't require going up a level
All workorder in one document and just really really tall? (people bitch about RI requiring too many navigation steps to get to shit)
Header and items in one document then bottom in seperate pages?
Is it going to be far easier to code this bitch if I have all the workorder data at hand or..?
How does WBI handle all this because it's kind of the poster child for RAVEN
Workorder is one of those things that may require different views for phone and tablet and laptop etc
Kind of like two views, tiny phone and anything larger
On a PC people will want and expect it to look as much like v7 workorder as possible, maybe that's still a valid layout
just tweaked to work better as a web app a bit but theoretically I could almost duplicate that layout with the tools I have
Consider UI in this as well, will need to decide at least what is visible when
Workorder UI good ideas here: https://rockfish.ayanova.com/default.htm#!/rfcaseEdit/3475
How to add items, like new woitem?
send to server get back new object?
lots of biz rules and stuff need to happen, want to minimize load at client
but lots of data back and forth is not ideal
maybe request a woitem and get it back?
what exactly needs to be processed in the wo when items are added / removed?
math / totalling?
simple calcs sb client doable
this will drive what has to happen.
Need to go over all wo features and factor them into this decision properly
The whole idea of a completed section of a wo and stuff, is that dropped due to TTM or still viable?
maybe can pick out the best new features of that which can be integrated into existing design rather than re-inventing the wheel
Here is an overview: https://rockfish.ayanova.com/default.htm#!/rfcaseEdit/3412
How best to be able to service LoanUnits on a workorder? [UPDATE: added shadow units feature]
Just make them Units with extra properties exposed if type of loaner?
This seems simplest, but what will it effect?
Hard to make them serviceable if they are an alternate table of source for what's being repaired as that breaks a lot of other code or adds exceptions
Customer is then who exactly because it's fundamental to a lot of wo functionality?
from a biz perspective isn't it like you are your own customer when you service your own equipment that you loan out?
Does Serial field need to be numeric, could it be text instead?
prompted by case 3428 saying that it's hard to deal with constant conversion to text for UI etc
plus, I'm thinking it opens door to textual scheme like appending -A or whatever to a wo.
or, is that a display issue?
Calling something "serial" implies it's unique but it isn't, maybe I should call it "number" instead or "ID" or something?
INFO: did a test workorder with ALL fields filled out heavily and one woitem, exported from db entire graph based on detailed report so every line was every item repeated
still only 84kb and it's a lot bigger than any typical wo in v8 would be as it will be far more efficient without having to repeat lines flatly
so I think size of object is a non-issue really from a practical standpoint.
UI
idea: UI reflects tentativeness state of object:
The UI doesn't imply something is done by changing it fully until the save is completed.
This serves two purposes:
1) user knows at a glance what isn't saved yet and will know it's waiting for save clearly, hopefully leading them to save more often,
2) client doesn't need to track invisible shit behind the scenes, can more easily do patch updates right off UI source
e.g.:
if deleted a row in parts, that row doesn't disappear but rather shows crossed out, maybe grayed out but still there until save to indicate it's tentative status
if added a row, shows green or something or bold or asterisk, (can style with css based on state) until saved
problems:
how to handle regular fields that are changed (that's a lot of field data to track for changes)?
Maybe client keeps a virgin copy of the original wo for comparison
periodically does a compare and flags differences on updates?
(this would also help to serve as an Undo maybe?)
todo: Documentation POST "REALITY"
will already have placeholders from above
Need to think this through carefully
Need to get the critical bits in for onboarding and importing so people can get going
Most important stuff is anything non-obvious
Seems pointless to have one doc per form that just says "The name field is the name and must be unique"
maybe have that kind of stuff in the form basics and then have a doc per OBJECT instead with anything unique or interesting about the object
(and each object form has a link to formbasics so can link to the object form from UI and they get both)
Parts of it can be done post-release for sure
todo: ONGOING search for memory leaks
The 7 times system seems to work the best
Excercise item a few times to settle it in memory, take heap snapshot, force gc, take total of 3 heap snapshots forcing gc each times
Excercise item 7 times exactly, take 3 more heap snapshots forcing gc before each one
Compare snapshot 6 to snapshot 3 look for Delta 7 times items to find leak

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ ROADMAP STAGE 7 - EXTENSIONS (was plugins)
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Step 1: get the current active license count for all extensions so I know what i'm dealing with here
Step 2: which extensions in which order and some can be left off entirely?
Plan the order of criticality for extensions
ACCOUNTING is obviously the first and foremost one and MUST be there for a lot of people to take up
MUST be done in a way to support other alternative accounting apps that are coming around now like freshbooks or whatever it's called that Joyce is using now
probably going to need a "trick" of some kind to interface with desktop accounting
i.e. a local windows app that uses the api and just copy over the qbi code
or a local server that has it's own web interface
or regular raven UI but the accounting section interfaces with a local server for local desktop qbi stuff and
the raven server interfaces with QBOnline for the QBOI stuff
based on sales, how many subscribed now
which ones are porting and which are not
Implement in order or priority
Fuck peachtree?
probably not, need to check again our install count of extensions

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
todo: setup for automated trial testing ability so can just link users
Maybe, rather than having seperate servers for testing, have it instead generate a User account on the fly for each user who wants to trial
Automatically re-create the data on a cycle of some kind
Needs warning message about being a shared instance of AyaNova so be careful what you type and also you may see things other people typed that I have no control over
todo: WINDOWS INSTALLER
Runner harness wrapper thing?
even if windows only
it could modify config since it's outside the server
check for Postgres server extant and if not automatically start the standalone postgres instance
manage postgres start and stop and configuration changes, sit in tray, run AyaNova server from there?
easy way to select command line params without resorting to editing text files for end user
initially it's an installation option, but then need to edit after the fact
Quick check of installers available still and is it still kosher to keep using INNO setup or is something better, more supported by windows etc?
Wix if want MSI (some say that's desireable)
INNO is still relevant
I don't need hardly any requirements that can't just be copy or unzip deployed so maybe don't even need an installer for now?
(zip distribution is going to be problematic with Windows file protection shit)
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/deploying/
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/rid-catalog
Completely packaged and installable. REady for users to install as a test as I iterate stage 7 below
All the stuff needed for someone to run it as a test without the real objects yet.
Some kind of expiring license so they can't just keep using it as fucked as it may be some might do that
I want short targetted testing only, not someone downloading and trying it out a month later, that's useless for us
This needs to be focused on what I need to get from people about testing
todo: LINUX INSTALLER
Linux users don't mind doing the manual config thing as much, they're used to it and it could just be a shell file anyway
So mainly this would be a documentation steps to install type issue
todo: DOCUMENT DOCKER
Present dockerfile maybe for docker installation with FILES folder pre-ready to build / run
Whatever docker needs
Or maybe private registry with docker images on our servers somewhere
todo: rockfish, can't do purchase for raven or view it I think
Test a whole sales process from eval to purchase and make it work
todo: rockfish, upgrade to latest bootstrap, out of date Currently
todo: rockfish, trial license fetched On date not updating? (not showing in UI)
todo: Joyce rockfish notes:
Licensing:
noticed that the field "Fetched on" is NEVER updated.
is it much to be able to see the TIME as well as the DATE, when "Requested" and when "Processed"?
There are drop down selections NEW, APPROVED, REJECTED for the (already generated) listed keys. But can not actually save to a different Status. What is the purpose of the drop down options if can not select?
todo: Discourse bootstrapping install
look over, get ideas make case steal ideas profit FTW$
https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md
//here is their standalone config yml definition for DOCKER
https://github.com/discourse/discourse_docker/blob/master/samples/standalone.yml
todo: back and forward buttons when running without browser controls in application mode?
- wait and see on this one, as it will be likely outside of any particular form so not something to be baked in early necessarily
todo: GUIDED TOUR
- This is an important feature and at least get a basic one in there for starters and initial release
- This is a replacement for the tutorials and videos in v7 a
- Need to add that auto-pilot thingy that allows for guided tours in HTML apps
- Specifically it should at least have an ONBOARDING walk through of how to move around, enter data, get help etc. Not feature specific but usage specfic.
- Later I'll add feature specfic tutorials like how to make a workorder etc

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
todo: ARCHIVE ALL DEPENDENCIES
Get all code for all 3rd party libs used for front and back of AyaNova 8
Need to store that in an archive somewhere just in case
Needs to be done with each release so can go back to that if necessary
Going to be big, maybe archived to all storage drives locally and burned to a dvd?
If check into the repo it will be an issue probably but you never know
TODO: CSP Policy that should be enabled at server?
I had to add per this: https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/troubleshoot/content-security-policy#content-security-policy
to my csp because I kept getting errors in client end debug console mentioning csp issues
this seemed to come after I updated the client build process to do a legacy and modern build but I'm not 100% sure about that
Assuming has passed all testing
Plan pricing and sales strategy
What to do with licenses for v7 people
Another payment processor?
support bitcoin if possible as well

Down the road will need an Account page for seeing their account status in rental SAAS situation
Nothing to do here, it's an obvious one, just delete this later, it's to percolate in brain a bit

Nice! Question for you, how did you make that nice 3D image on the front page with various screenshots overlaid over each other? :)

It's all done in Photoshop. Just take screenshots, then transform, rotate, distort them to look flat. Then add some drop shadows for a 3d look.

BUILD CHANGES OF NOTE
Notes:
Tax rates and decimal places:
Many places globally have 3 decimal place tax rates, even in the US https://taxfoundation.org/2020-sales-taxes/
I saw online developers asking how to set to 4 decimals for certain products so there is also 4 decimal out there
At the bac end I define tax rates in the db DECIMAL(8,5) that's 3 digits to left and 5 to right but at the front end I set it to show 3 but that can be changed if necessary
without affecting back end data
build 105
- direct report url now works again properly. Used by notification to send links to reports and possible future other links to provide an url that opens in teh AyaNova client directly to viewing a report, so that the url [clienturl]/viewreport?oid=1&rid=1 for example will open report id 1 with object id 1
- Can now hide columns that are filtered or sorted without error in data tables; Data Table column selector button will change to larger and accented when this is the case and the column selector form will highlight these hidden columns that affect the view with raised elevation, accent color and filter/sort icon (both show, there is no distinction which type of way it's affecting)
- fixed
Search form object types selection need enum list variant of object types to only show for roles allowed then change search form picklist to use that variant
Notification events list (notify subscription) needs variant that controls what they have role access to
memo to dropdown list shows all users for selection then after selecting one shows only that selected when you next drop down, should show all users still like first time.
memo click on reply or forward should put cursor into top of edit message control (notes)
memo read now flags correctly
taxcode form has default of .05 in taxa, change to zero
Default warehouse try to enter a tag bombs with error
PartInventory data table errors out when click on column selector
Part inventory list remove description field
PO form Hide serial field until an ID is set (i.e. don't show 0)
PO Form serial field read only unless superuser
PO item Receive button confusing as it receives all, change text to receive all
PO item table to optionally show part Name field and show hide via customize form
PO item not showing taxaviz and taxbviz
Part inventory list also show on order and on order committed
Ability to remove (optional) data table filter set internally when viewing from objects own menu for partinventory, inventorytransactions, reviews, servicebank
(was: **Part inventory list view will NOT show all parts if previously selected to view the actual part inventory for a single part.)
FIX: Added UI elements at top of grid to remove single object filter (where applicable) and display which object(s) data is displaying consistently
Part inventory adjustment adding from list that is already restricted to one part [OR WAREHOUSE] only (coming from part [OR WAREHOUSE] form menu) should pre-select the part [OR WAREHOUSE] in the new adjustment form
Inventory limited role is presented delete button in part assembly list, should only be able to view
Accounting role: if select Contacts listview, get error "! Not authorized"
Taxes won't let me change an existing Name if previously selected on any other record.
Taxes won't let me change the Active status if previously selected on any other record.
Unit charge description should offer auto suggest from prior entries to save typing
User settings language and time zone and currency help / suggestions
User settings map template hint shows google maps as default
- not changed
Tag extension should have tag picker instead of empty field in cases where you are picking from existing tags
** It would not work with the system in place. Tag picker control is designed for multiple tags,
tags extension system is designed to replace / remove a single tag at a time by design, so wouldn't save any typing by user anyway as would be restricted to one tag
and would need extensive changes to working code to implement
Tag extension to report results of operation? i.e. how many tags deleted etc
** Not practical at this time / have made a case to look into down the road, would require extensive changes to working code at both server and client
Tag extension or any extension refresh main data table it was run from after operation (so can see results) automatically
** looked into and realized could cause issues forcing a refresh when the user doesn't want it necessarily if they are picking and choosing records to work with in extension more than once
