Change Applicant Status to Summary, then create a true status field. #10

Change Applicant Status to Summary

During expungement day users needed to leave more information about the status of an applicant that they were working on that would fit in a word or two. They used that status field to communicate the current state or what needed to happen next to the applicant.

• Backend changes
• Rename status field to summary.
• Rename Status label to Summary

• status has been renamed to notes
• Status is being replaced with the concept of steps since we go through the process in steps. We want to record who and when a step was changed.
  • Create a table called steps with foreign keys of client_id and status_id
  • The clients table will have a foreign key of steps_id pointing to the current step.

Setup permissions for users #6

At this time we think we will have the following types of users:

• Clinic User - Has almost all permissions
• Volunteer Lawyer - Cannot add or delete an Applicant/Client, but can
  • edit Applicant/Client
  • add, edit, remove convictions, charges, and service

• Work with backend developers to determine how to pass the user's role.
