Printed Forms
This is a design document for the printed forms module.
The printed forms module is used to print "standardized" or "official" forms based upon the data in the system. For example, it might be the registration number for a nurse.
The output will be either PDF (which Carl prefers) or html (which Luke prefers).
Source Data
The source data for the printed form will be a report which is based on a form relationship.
Interaction
At the first phase of this module, the only interaction is to produces the reports based on what is stored in magic data. There will be no "document design" component. The standard form will be accessed through a URL with the name of the standardized form and a GET/POST variable containing one or more of the id's for the primary form in the report relationship. For example:
http://<SITE_URL>/StandardForm/registration?ids[]=person|12&ids[]=person|14&ids=[]person|22
Hitting this URL would cause the following to happen:
- verify that a standarized form called registration';' exists
- verify that the user has the appropriate permission to view this standardized form:
- Check to see if the user has the task 'can_view_standarized_forms_all'
- If not, check to see if the task 'can_view_standarized_form_registration' exists and the user has this task
- for each of the ids, person|12, person|14, person|22 fill out the details of the standardized report by using the corresponding row in the report table if it exists (see below).
