Glossary for tagtracker

[tevpg]

Glossary moved to wiki

For consistency and clarity. These has three areas. In order of precedence:

1. Bike Valet lingo
2. TagTracker prompts and reports
3. TagTracker internal
   Obviously in a perfect world these would all be the same ... ha.

One bike-in or return-out event. I like the word "event", but of course bike valet uses the word event to mean a contracted body of work lasting one or more days. Possibilities include: action, incident (bad), transaction (bad), ....?

Check-in, check-out. I prefer "bike in" and "return out" where possible, in order to emphasize that we are tracking the bikes, not the tags. This is a good business choice (the bike is the real world object with business value, not the tag) but is kind of backwards from what we do internally, which is definitely keeping track of tags.

Bin: Tags in hand that are used are "in the bin".

Available: a tag that is known to exist, is not retired. It might be unused, be on a bike at valet, or finished (in the bin).

Bikes on hand. Said to be on hand, in valet, at valet, or in corral. I prefer "at valet."
