Schedule View Display Expression
Hi,
I am trying to change the schedule view as I have had a request for it also to display the appointment type and notes.
Is this possible? Any attempts I have made to change the view and test it have failed. I looked http://www.openvpms.org/documentation/csh/1.7/admin/organisation/scheduleView#UsefulExpressions
however have not been able to make work any additions to the tempalte already there. Is there a restriction on how much can be in the field?
Thank you,
Adrian
Re: Schedule View Display Expression
Adrian -I had a play -I can get you the notes - use openvpms:get(., 'act.description')
but I cannot access the appointment type.
First your "is there a restriction?" - yes - but it is 5000 characters, so that is not the problem.
To get the Notes, I went and looked at the archetype for the appoinment (act.customerAppointment) and I saw that the field named 'description' had a label 'Notes' - ie what you seen on the screen as Notes is held in 'description' - hence the act.description
To get the appointment type, I started down the same path - ie there is an 'appointmentType' field (actually node is the correct term), but this is linked in a different way (it's something called a participation) and I cannot figure out how to get to that. [For the other 'participation' things like the customer and patient, there are built in functions that access them, but there isn't one for the appointmentType.]
So unless someone comes to the rescue, I think that you are in the poo as far as the appointment type is concerned.
Incidently, why do you want the Notes to show - ins't the balloon good enough?
Also if you switch to single schedule view, then you get the lot.
Finally, when this discussion gets finalised, I will tweak the CSH text a little as a result of this exercise [like how best to debug expression errors - add little at a time].

Re: Schedule View Display Expression
You can treat the appointment type like any other participation node i.e.:
You read this as:
Get the value of "appointmentType.entity.name" from the current object (i.e.: .), which is an act.customerAppointment.
Looking at the act.customerAppointment archetype, the appointmentType node is a participation of type participation.appointmentType.
In the participation.appointmentType archetype, the entity node refers to an entity.appointmentType.
Finally, in the entity.appointmentType archetype, the name node is a simple string.
The above is short for:

Re: Schedule View Display Expression
Tim A - openvpms:get(.,"appointmentType.entity.name") get rejected with Expression error
Also, in playing with the problem, I thought: the customer node is a participation of type participation.customer, and in this the entity node refers to party.customerperson and in this name is a simple string, so openvpms:get(.,"customer.entity.name") should work - but it is also rejected with expression error.
Basically I was trying to work from the openvpms:get(.,'customer.name') which works but which obviously has some shortcut available because the entity link is to a party, not an entity.

Re: Schedule View Display Expression
I think the appointment type is returned with
openvpms:get(., "scheduleType.name")
that works for us
Re: Schedule View Display Expression
Sorry - I should have tried it out. The above applies when you are dealing with archetypes. For schedules and worklists, a simpler strategy is used, to improve performance.
I got it right in this post in May: http://www.openvpms.org/forum/display-event-type-appointment-description:

Re: Schedule View Display Expression
Hi all,
Thank you for the help.
What I think I was doing wrong...
- Not realising that you had to close the whole expression with a double brackets "))"
- Not realising '\n' = new line
- Incorrect positioning of commas.
Re: Schedule View Display Expression
Adrian - if you look at http://www.openvpms.org/documentation/csh/1.7/admin/organisation/scheduleView you will see that I have incorporate parts of the above discussion in the CSH text.

Thank you, I think this is helpful.
Re: Schedule View Display Expression
Now all we need Tim is to make the address clickable and bring up a google map of the address, using google NAV and your HC vet will get navigation detailS!!!
Re: Schedule View Display Expression
Actually Ben, I did check that when I imported the schedule into Google Calendar (see community contributions), that one could click on the address. It turned out that in the example I was using there was to much detail - I had to cut off the floor and building name leaving just the street address, and then it was happy and showed the address correctly.
