Hi Shane,
Basically your requirement is a government ERP.
There are 2 types of jobs in your description: routine job and project job.
The workloads of routine jobs can be predefined and approved automatically.
Every fiscal year or so you can adjust the settings of workloads.
The project jobs can be budget based funded. The daily workloads can be filled
in by its members ("The attorney would then have to provide counsel within 36
hours and report back that they had done so") and verified/approved by project
managers.
It would be better if you have an OFBiz workflow plugin (i.e. Activiti [1]) to
run routine jobs.
Kind Regards,
Shi Jinghai

主题: A point in the right direction
I started looking into ofbiz because I need to create a solution for a new
regulation we have at work. We are a courthouse and the state has mandated that
we provide representation for individuals on a daily basis.
In a nutshell, I need to have a system where a clerk can assign a defendant to
an attorney. The attorney would then have to provide counsel within 36 hours
and report back that they had done so. An administrator would be able to
oversee the process and verify it. Then pay the attorney for the counsel. The
defendant might have multiple consultations with different attorneys/ probation
officers/ drug testing facilities over the time that the case is active.
I've played around with ofbiz, adding data using the various ootb components
and I've tried the getting started tutorial, successfully adding the ofbiz demo
plugin. That went fine. Now I am trying to figure out how to implement a
solution. I am thinking that the Project component would be a good place to
start because I can make a "Defendant" project and add attorney / probation
officer / reviewer resources, then an administrator could create phases like
"Initial Counsultation, Drug Testing, etc"
Does this sound like I am on the right track? Or should I be looking at it
differently?
