[Loris-dev] Flag Table Status Options

[Barry Tikalsky]

Hello LORIS devs,

We're looking to have a more robust way to track the status of an
individual instrument for a specific candidate.
This would address two workflow issues we are experiencing:

   1. Turning off one specific instrument for one candidate in the front
   end. Similar to how the session and candidate tables have an Active column
   that can be set to 'Y' or 'N' where 'N' keeps the data in the database but
   hides it from the session/candidate list on the front end.
   2. Marking an entire visit as complete even if there is a missing or
   incomplete instrument in that visit. Right now it seems there is not a way
   to track exceptions in a way that allows the visit to be passed even with
   partial data, and note the exception visibly.

We were expecting the Flag_status column to help with these, but we can't
figure out what it does. The enum options are 'P', 'Y', 'N' and 'F', what
do they stand for? Is this column used anywhere or was it never implemented?

We have considered adding an Active column to flag to solve our workflow
issue #1 above, is this reasonable or is there an existing method to manage
this? How could we work with the existing code and your group to implement
this?
Could we co-opt the Flag_status column to help us with #2? Should we make a
new column here as well?

Let us know your thoughts.
Thanks!
