OpenSPP Service Point Device#

Warning

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

This document outlines the OpenSPP Service Point Device module, which extends the functionality of the spp_service_points module to manage terminal devices associated with each service point. It allows for the registration and tracking of devices used at service points, including their model, Android version, and active status.

Purpose#

The OpenSPP Service Point Device module aims to:

  • Track Terminal Devices: Maintain a record of all terminal devices used at each service point within the OpenSPP system.

  • Manage Device Information: Store relevant details about each device, such as the model, Android version, and a unique external identifier.

  • Monitor Device Status: Track the active status of devices to identify and manage any inactive or unavailable devices.

  • Integrate with Service Points: Seamlessly connect device information to its corresponding service point for centralized management and reporting.

Dependencies and Integration#

  1. spp_service_points: This module directly builds upon the OpenSPP Service Points module. It utilizes the spp.service.point model to link devices to their respective service points using the service_point_id field.

Additional Functionality#

  • Device Management (spp.service.point.device):

    • Introduces a new model (spp.service.point.device) specifically for managing terminal device information.

    • Provides fields to capture device-specific details like model, Android version, external identifier, and active status.

    • Enables users to activate or deactivate devices and provides a visual indicator of their status.

  • Service Point Integration:

    • Extends the spp.service.point model with a new button to access and manage the associated terminal devices.

    • Offers a dedicated view to list and manage all devices linked to a specific service point.

Conclusion#

The OpenSPP Service Point Device module enhances the OpenSPP system by providing a structured way to manage and monitor terminal devices deployed at various service points. By centralizing device information and linking it to service points, this module contributes to better hardware resource management and supports the efficient operation of social protection programs and farmer registries.
