Enumerator ID
Enumerators are created in the Social Registry (SR) using the Registration Portal. Enumerators are field employees or agents who assist in gathering information from registrants/applicants. Each time an Enumerator is added to the Registration Portal, a unique ID is automatically generated and assigned to them. The assigned ID is the Enumerator ID (EID) which serves as a unique identifier for each enumerator in the SR.
The Data Administrator and the System Administrator have the authority to create Enumerators in SR using the Registration Portal.
Purpose of EID
The EID plays a significant role such as
The EID distinguishes each Enumerator within the SR, enabling efficient tracking and managing of data collected by different Enumerators.
Characteristics of EID
Each Enumerator has a unique EID.
The EID is generated using a sequencer on the Odoo platform. It has a 5-digit sequence with a configurable prefix. For example, it could be formatted as
EID-00001.Since EID is a read-only attribute throughout the system, it cannot be changed, once they are generated.
The admin portal allows for the deactivation of Enumerators, but not the deletion of EID.
Appearance of EID
The EID is displayed in the user profile of the Enumerators that is saved in the Registration Portal of SR.
Every record that the Enumerator collects has their EID in the Enumerator information section.
Technical concept
EID generation process
EID field definition
The EID field is defined as a Char field on the partner model with the following attributes:
string='EID': Displays the field label as "EID."
copy=False: Prevents the EID from being duplicated when a partner record is copied.
readonly=True: Ensures the EID cannot be manually edited, maintaining its integrity.
index=True: Optimizes database queries for searches involving EIDs.
Automatic EID generation
When a new enumerator is created, the create method of the G2PRegistrant model checks if an EID is provided. If not, the EID is temporarily set to 'New.'
After the record is created, the create method calls the generate_eid method to automatically generate and assign the next unique EID.
EID sequence configuration
The generate_eid method utilises an Odoo sequence named 'Enumerator Code' to generate EIDs. This sequence is configured as follows:
code: enumeratorCode.
prefix: EID-.
padding: 5.
This configuration ensures that each EID starts with "EID-" followed by a 5-digit padded number, for example, EID-00025.
EID view integration
The EID field is integrated into relevant views (form/tree view), providing a clear and readily accessible display of the Enumerator's unique identifier.
Development phase
The following deliverables for the Enumerator module are planned for development and release at the appropriate phase.
