Reservation Flags

[esoterik]

2015-10-03

Merged in #1314, consolidating to-do list:

Required:

• Define fixed set of flags to assign to Reservations (see Reservation Status Overhaul #462)
  • Don't forget the fined flag
• Add UX during check-in and archive for assigning flags (drop-down?)
• Add methods to API to set multiple flags simultaneously (see Expand Reservation flags API #1314)

If possible:

• Allow admins to define custom flags (will likely require us to re-work how flags are defined since they're currently hard-coded in the model)
• Add page / filter for searching for flagged Reservations

ORIGINAL

#462 implemented a bitmask for miscellaneous boolean values for reservations, which is currently used to flag requests and for an email task. This should be used to mark any issues with the reservation; for example, if it is lost or broken, the reservation should be flagged as such.

This also means adding checkboxes to the check-in form and the archive JS pop up to set these flags.

See here and here for more information on bitmasks.

This can be thought of as addressing the original impetus for #462; namely, the ability to flag reservations with different attribute (such as equipment broken) for more classification options. Note that we might want to figure out a way to generate an "ad-hoc" scope for reservations that match a particular bitmask attribute.

The fined flag also needs to be implemented.

Oh, there's also information in our wiki about the flags: see here

And we have a scope that returns reservations with a particular flag as of #462, so that is no longer necessary for this issue
