Re: [Health-dev] Products, beds and calendars

Hi David

I am still mystified at the relation between beds and calendars.

To track my learning, I have contributed what I understand about beds to https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/GNU_Health/Calendars .  My understanding is that a Health Professional (and only a Health Professional) can have a calendar.

When I try to create a second calendar for a Health Professional, I get a message "A user can only have one calendar".

When I try to create a Bed, there's a field for Calendar.  If only a Health Professional can have a Calendar, and a Bed is Product, not a Health Professional, then why is there a field for a Calendar in that panel?  It looks as though I can create the bed without specifying a Calendar.

You have the calendar field in bed because you have installed the health_inpatient_calendar module. That module allows to use calendars to track bed availability. So if you link a calendar to a bed, when you create a new inpatient registration for that bed, also a calendar event is created.
