Hi folks. Long time lurker, first time poster. I am taking the plunge into learning rails by scratching a small itch and creating a daily status board for the ambulance service I work for. The daily briefing for a given day will look something like this: http://test.adaptllc.com/stat/index.html I''ve worked through a couple of excellent books on rails but I a still a bit uncertain on the best way to lay out a model for this. So far, considering each section as an object, I have: daily_briefing fields: date, scas shift, fire shift, refs to included objects for that day(?) weather fields: hi, lo, chance rain / snow, cloudiness our_staffing fields: vehicle, person1, person2 has many: people other_staffing fields: vehicle, person1, person2, in_service? open_shifts fields: date, description vehicles vehicle_number, location, issues has many: vehicles_issues vehicles_issues vehicle, issue, date_resolved belongs to: vehicles safety_msg fields: string quarters fields: location, issue description, date resolved trainings_meetings fields: date, time, location, description special_events fields: date, start time, end time, location, description road_closures fields: start date, end date, description notes fields: kill date, description people fields: last_name, first_name, certification, email So, what is correct here? What is missing? Also, what is the best way to take these individual objects and make sure that the appropriate ones appear on the daily briefing for a given day? I had thought to reference them in an object for that date, but that seems a bit off. Thanks. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
