Welcome to the TIMS-NG (Next Generation) wiki!

High-Level Concept

The structure should be based on all tracked equipment on a particular Disaster Response (DR) resides in the master DB with an associated location field. It should not matter if the equipment is in headquarters or a remote district's site. With this design, a subset of the master DB can be cloned for a district and any sites or any desired combination. As data changes in the partition, it is reconciled when network connectivity is established. The use of a smartphone is viable for small cloned portions of the master DB.

Requirements

  1. Both cell phone and handheld barcode scanners are integrated into TIMS-NG.
  2. Provision should also be made for arbitrary queries rather than trying to predict all needed queries.
  3. The DSMC database publishes quantity values to TIMS-NG deployments for equipment available for deployment. This facilitates intelligent equipment ordering.
