Development

  • Add a table be updated regularly by the API when someone has a record open
  • When a new person opens a record, check the table to see if anyone else is editing.
  • If so, show an indicator on the page that <<Staff Member>> is also editing the record
  • When saving, warn if another save has also happened since you began editing and show a comparison of the differences.
    • Make sure autoincrement issues won't interfere with this.
