Progress Report on Damage Claim System Updates
This report covers the last 14 hours of work since the previous update. Significant progress has been made, with the form now successfully retrieving and saving data to the database. While this is a major milestone, there’s still work to do to align the system with user needs and finalize all features.
1. Data Flow: The form can now retrieve and save data to the database. New records can be created, showing the core system is working.
2. Validation: Added basic string length checks to catch errors before data reaches the database. Agreed with Aparna to add simple alerts for empty fields next week, following existing patterns.
3. Event Validator Fix: Fixed the ClientScriptEventValidator error by registering dropdown values directly in code, avoiding the need for UpdatePanel.
4. Code Adjustments: Updated code to work with C# 7 and removed async calls for better stability in the older .NET 4.8 environment.
1. Debug and complete the update functionality to ensure no missing or incorrect data.
2. Add the agreed validation alerts for required fields.
3. Work on user permissions and status changes based on legacy rules.
4. Review legacy code to uncover any missed details and align the system with user workflows.
5. Talk to end users to better understand how they use the system and adjust as needed.
• The system now has data flowing, which is a big step forward.
• Managing all 66 form elements, business rules, and validations will take time.
• I estimate about 40 more hours to reassess, refine, and complete everything.
This milestone shows solid progress, but there’s more to do. Next steps include finalizing updates, improving validations, and aligning the system with user needs. With realistic timelines and focus, we’re on track to deliver a reliable product.
