Transfer Tracker.mdb

Transfer_Tracker.mdb is a repository of all discharges on our ward within the last 2 weeks.

You can find the transfer tracker at

Regional Server\Output\Transfer_Tracker.mdb

It gets its content from the backup files.

When you open the program, it displays the data that was in the most recent data backup from the last time someone has clicked the "update" button it, and the date of that update in the top left corner.

Automating Updates

It would be nice to have the tracker update automatically rather than having collectors push that button. I decided not to do this automatically because the update can take about 2 minutes. Didn't want to force you to wait when the most recent data might be good enough.

I can not think how I would do this in the current configuration. It's an access program, and someone has to run it to make it do something. Having said that, if this becomes commonly used we might be able to do this on a rotational basis or something. Let's see how many people are using it.

Bugs

Please let me know if there are problems or the program doesn't work as expected. Ttenbergen 11:22, 5 October 2011 (CDT)

self-updating directory listing

note for Tina only use self-updating directory listing to import rather than a static list (this doesn't affect functionality while things work, it just makes the program a bit more resilient. Right now there is an error if any site can't be found, and if a new site is added and the hard-code is not amended the site just won't import) Ttenbergen 11:33, 1 March 2011 (CST)
