Referencing Location Hierarchies in Case List and Details Page
When making a module against supply-point cases, you can reference any location property available in the fixture, as well as any properties of any parents all the way up the chain. To reference a property, you must type a four part code into the case list or details configuration. The format is as follows:
location:[my type]:[reference type]/[property name]Everything in brackets is something that you replace according to the following table. The colons and slash are mandatory.
- location: Just the word "location". This never changes.
- my type: The type of the location you expect to be in the case list. This is typically the lowest-level location type, e.g. "outlet".
- reference type: The type of the location you want to reference. This could be the same as "my type".
- property name: The property you want to reference.
The following examples are for a simple hierarchy containing a state, district, block and outlet.
| I am a... | referencing my... | Syntax to use |
|---|---|---|
| outlet | own type | location:outlet:outlet/location_type |
| outlet | block name | location:outlet |
...
| :block/name | ||
| outlet | state name | location:outlet:state/name |
| district | own type | location:district:district/location_type |
| district | state name | location:district:state/name |
