OpenSPP Program ID#

Warning

Work in Progress: This document is actively being developed and updated. Content may be incomplete or subject to change.

This document describes the OpenSPP Program ID module, an extension to the OpenSPP platform. This module enhances the existing OpenG2P: Programs functionality by adding unique, system-generated IDs to each program for improved tracking and reference.

Purpose#

The OpenSPP Program ID module aims to:

  • Provide Unique Program Identification: Generate and assign a distinct ID to each program, allowing for easy identification and reference.

  • Enhance Data Management: Improve the organization and management of program data by introducing a standardized identification system.

  • Facilitate Integration: Enable seamless integration with other systems or modules by providing a consistent program identifier.

Module Dependencies and Integration#

  1. spp_programs:

    • Leverages the core program management features provided by the OpenSPP Programs module.

    • Extends program models and views to incorporate the program ID field.

  2. g2p_programs:

    • Builds upon the program structure and functionality provided by the G2P Programs module.

    • Integrates with program views to display the generated program ID.

Additional Functionality#

  • Program ID Generation:

    • Automatically generates a unique program ID using a defined sequence (program.id.sequence) upon program creation.

    • Ensures that each program has a distinct identifier.

  • Program ID Field:

    • Introduces a new field, program_id, in the g2p.program model to store the generated unique ID.

    • Makes the program_id field read-only to prevent accidental modification.

  • View Integration:

    • Integrates the program_id field into relevant program views:

      • Search Filter: Adds program_id as a search filter option in the program list view.

      • List View: Displays the program_id alongside other program details in the program list view.

      • Form View: Shows the program_id prominently within the program form view.

Conclusion#

The OpenSPP Program ID module enhances the OpenSPP platform by providing a simple yet powerful mechanism for uniquely identifying programs. This enhancement contributes to better data management, easier referencing, and smoother integration with other systems, ultimately improving the efficiency and usability of the OpenSPP platform.
