Loading holidays

To load the list of holidays into the system:

python manage.py import_holidays

Customizing appointment scheduling by Facility

Appointment scheduling can be customized per facility or clinic:

Add each facility to app_config.facilities specifying the facility name, days open and the maximum number of slots available per day:

from edc_facility.apps import AppConfig as EdcAppointmentAppConfig

class AppConfig(EdcAppointmentAppConfig):

    facilities = {
        'clinic1': Facility(name='clinic', days=[MO, TU, WE, TH, FR], slots=[100, 100, 100, 100, 100])}
        'clinic2': Facility(name='clinic', days=[MO, WE, FR], slots=[30, 30, 30])}

To schedule an appointment that falls on a day that the clinic is open, isn’t a holiday and isn’t already over-booked:

from edc_utils import get_utcnow
from .facility import Facility

suggested_datetime = get_utcnow()
available_datetime = facility.available_datetime(suggested_datetime)

If holidays are entered (in model Holiday) and the appointment lands on a holiday, the appointment date is incremented forward to an allowed weekday. Assuming facility is configured in app_config to only schedule appointments on [TU, TH]:

from datetime import datetime
from dateutil.relativedelta import TU, TH
from django.conf import settings
from django.utils import timezone

from .facility import Facility
from .models import Holiday

Holiday.objects.create(
    name='Id-ul-Adha (Feast of the Sacrifice)',
    date=date(2015, 9, 24)
)
suggested_datetime = timezone.make_aware(datetime(2015, 9, 24), timezone=pytz.utc)  # TH
available_datetime = facility.available_datetime(suggested_datetime)
print(available_datetime)  # 2015-09-29 00:00:00, TU

The maximum number of possible scheduling slots per day is configured in app_config. As with the holiday example above, the appointment date will be incremented forward to a day with an available slot.
