1.7 Alpha - URL for reminder new/edit screen

Submitted by Guest on Sat, 08/06/2013 - 08:17

General developer's discussion

If you use Patients|Medical Records|(reminder/alert tab)|New or Edit, and on the resulting Reminder New/Edit screen you press F1, the URL that it goes to is http://www.openvpms.org/documentation/csh/1.7/patient/reminder/edit/remi...

Currently I have given the CSH page this URL. However, would it not be more logical to make it .../patient/reminder or .../patient/record/reminder ?

Note that the 'parent' screen Patients|Medical Records|(reminder/alert tab), when you use F1 looks for the URL http://www.openvpms.org/documentation/csh/1.7/patient/record

I suppose that what is bothering me is the divergence between logical ordering of the CSH topics and the directory structure implied by the URLs.

Its currently patient/reminder/edit/reminder as you can also create alerts from Reminder/New.

Alerts have a patient/reminder/edit/alert URL.

I could move it to the records, but the URLs would be:

patient/record/edit/reminder
patient/record/edit/alert

The 'edit' part is to be consistent with the other URLs .e.g:

patient/record/edit/medication
patient/record/edit/note
patient/record/edit/problem
patient/record/edit/visit
patient/record/edit/weight

Let me know, and I'll make the change.

No Tim - leave it as it. I am now certain that it is not possible nor sensible to align the help topic structure with the URL structure. So leave the URLs as is, and I will keep the help topic structure as simple and straight forward as possible.

I may create a top level bucket called Other or Miscellaneous to hold some of the stuff. For example the various print confirm screens each need their own page (so as to get displayed when you press F1), but all the page needs to do is direct the user to Introduction|Common Screens|Print. The print confirm screen does not need to appear in the 'core' book heirachy - ie 1.7|Customers|Documents|Print

As I said, please don't do anything.
