Insitutions and Projects¶

How it was in the past...¶

Institutions¶

In the past, institutions where collected and managed in the CMS (typo3 backend). Insititutions have one contact person (one of the wocat users) and many members (users could select institution in registration form).
In the old Questionnaire database application, the institution could not be entered.

Projects¶

Projects where not used and managed, neither on the website (CMS) nor in the database application.

How it was planned to be with the new website and QCAT...¶

• Institutions and projects are created and managed on the new website (CMS)
• Institutions and projects are syncronized to QCAT to be used for tech and approach cases.

Problem description¶

Projects¶

• In the meantime (QCAT productive, website under development) the projects where handled separately on qcat in the website
• On the website projects are important WOCAT projects (projects in which WOCAT people where involved?)
• On qcat projects where entered by request from users/Partners/Projects without any limitations
• Furthermore on the website projects are not managed as a data list but as a bunch of webpages, Thus makeing a clean syncronisation painful and error prone.

How to proceed, decisions¶
