Overview
Alerts serve as a way for the system to bring attention to issues that require human intervention. The context here is orders. See the linked feature for additional background and use cases.
NOTE: While the orders schemas already have some notion of alerts, they're not being used - At least they're not exposed by the UI and aren't being populated by FOLIO. This is an artifact from the very early days of acquisitions.
Approach
- Introduce a new controlled vocabulary 'AlertType'
- new schema
- new storage (CRUD) API
- new business logic (CRUD) API - proxies to storage API
- Refactor po-line alerts
- to reference an AlertType
- have a single free-form text field for capturing context/error information
- system generated metadata
- Add new field to composite_purchase_order
- numAlerts
- integer
- default 0
- derived property - not stored.
- numAlerts
- Update GET /orders/composite-order/<id>
- calculate numAlerts

User Interface
A few requirements related to this work necessitate some UI work:
- ability to filter - give me orders and lines w/ alerts
GET /orders/composite-orders?query=cql.allRecords=1 NOT alerts ==/respectAccents []
GET /orders/order-lines?query=cql.allRecords=1 NOT alerts ==/respectAccents []
- NOTE: These queries may change once the order/order-line views are replaced with foreign keys and cross-index subqueries
- ability to see in order search results that there are N alerts
- use composite_purchase_order.numAlerts
- ability to see in order-line search results that there are N alerts
- use length of alerts array
- ability to add one or more alerts to a poLine
- Mock up to be provided by Dennis Bridges
- ability to remove an alert - eventually the ability to mark as resolved
