Enhancements to OR UK - Proposal to enhance Schedule

A service can have many schedules (sessions), however attending\_type (whether it is online or telephone or home visit or at a venue) is at the service level. This really needs to be at the schedule level so that we can have an app and a telephone and a venue service and even a home visit. We can then control whether it is available through the start and end date. This is/would have been really useful in Covid times. At the moment we have to create a new service for each of these access types.

The attending\_access should also be aligned to a schedule (session) as it is likely that a telephone or venue session could be a drop in service and an online and home visit session might need to be booked.

Thanks Ian. I’ll flag these for consideration in the next version review.

@MikeThacker-iStandUK Where are these candidate proposals recorded? Is there a way to see what has been proposed, agreed and planned etc. This might already exist, just not sure where to look.

Marcus, we don’t have a solid way of doing this. Historically we have used tagged GitHub issues, but for now I’m just applying the tags [datastructure](https://forum.openreferral.org/tag/datastructure) and [api](https://forum.openreferral.org/tag/api) to posts which impact on the standard for each of these.

If you can’t find a desired change under those links, do add new posts - one thread per change ideally.

I hope the next version upgrade will be done in tandem with the US people to move to a single standard. We’ll agree with them a consistent way of identifying change requests. They’re keen to use this forum more themselves.
