====== Open invitations page ======
Wireframe: [[https://www.simongrant.org/RegenCHOICE/interface/invitations.html|invitations]]

This page lists invitations to contact, both from the enquirer and from others. Maybe one page for all enquiries will be enough.

I'm not even certain that the page is needed at all.

----

===== User perspective =====
I look at the list of invitations.
  * I may be inviting some others who have appeared on my [[Show results]] page. These will automatically be moved to [[Contacts]] if the other accepts the invitation.
  * Others may have found me and invited me, if my enquiry isn't showing results because there are too many. I can go to the page for the [[Candidate]], and based on that, accept or reject the invitation.

----
===== Sequence =====

==== pages that lead here ====
  * [[Enquiries of type]]
  * [[Forming enquiry]]

==== pages that this page leads to ====
  * link → [[Contacts]]
  * link → [[Candidate]]
  * link → [[Enquiries of type]]
  * link → [[Forming enquiry]]


----
===== Information =====
In general, needs [[ch:ia:Candidate-info]]rmation. Key is [[ch:fields:CanNum]].

==== information and processing needed to set up the page ====
Ideally, should recheck on every refresh of this page whether the people listed actually still fit, as they may have changed their enquiry. Then assemble:

  * for each [[ch:fields:CanNum]]
    * [[ch:fields:ContactStatus]]
    * [[ch:fields:EnqName]]
    * [[ch:fields:ETypeLabel]]

The tables should be able to be sorted either by enquiry name, or by date contact agreed; initially, most recent first if no current enquiry, or if current enquiry, then with that enquiry first.
==== information input or generated by the user ====
  * in query string, one of 
    * [[ch:fields:CanNum]]
    * [[ch:fields:EnqID]]
    * [[ch:fields:ETypeCode]]

----

===== Implementation notes =====
Note that any change of the enquiry requires a reworking of invitations: if the enquiries do not fit, the invitation needs to be withdrawn. 

----

===== Commentary =====  
The [[Forming enquiry]] page will say whether there are open invitations, and the [[Enquiries of type]] page as well.

We want to encourage enquirers to look at the open invitations first, before revising their enquiry.
