====== Define or edit location page ======
Wireframe: [[https://www.simongrant.org/RegenCHOICE/userinterface/define-location.html|define-location]]

In practice this will be several pages, depending on the type of the location.



----

===== Enquirer perspective =====
I define a new significant location for my enquiries – whether a particular geographical point, or a kind of area.

If the location is time limited, I enter or edit the start and/or finish dates.

----

===== Sequence =====
==== Pages that lead here ====
  * [[enquiry location]]
  * [[all locations]]

==== Enquirer actions and destinations ====
  * Button to submit new details 
  * Link to return without defining new location 

In either case
  * → [[all locations]] or
  * → [[enquiry location]]

----

===== Information =====
If new location, explanation of the different location types.

==== Information and processing needed to set up the page ====
  * [[ch:fields:LocName]] (must have visible content)

If [[ch:fields:LocID]] is defined, then [[ch:fields:LocType]]\\
Else if LocID is not yet defined, then selector for [[ch:fields:LocType]]

depending on the LocType chosen, display the appropriate fields, one of:
  * [[ch:fields:LocLat]] and [[ch:fields:LocLong]]
  * [[ch:fields:LocPol]]
  * [[ch:fields:LocH3]]
  * [[ch:fields:LocBioreg]]

Don't expect people to name a polity or bioregion or H3 unit. Provide a global map which displays the region selected around the cursor, with the usual zoom controls, and a selector to switch between the different location types.

If no time limits have been set, note that and provide a button to open up the dialogue. Existing time limits are displayed. This could be a separate page or an expanded section to display them in an editable way.
    * [[ch:fields:LEndB]]
    * [[ch:fields:LocEnd]]
    * [[ch:fields:LStartB]]
    * [[ch:fields:LocStart]]



   
==== Information input and stored/passed on ====
  * list, should tally with fields, buttons or links on the page

If the location is new, and information is submitted, define the next free LocID for it.


----

===== Implementation notes =====
It will be an interesting challenge to do the graphical interface in a way that works easily with mobile devices.

----

===== Commentary =====  
What looks like a detail – being able to add dates to a location – is really quite important, as the whole ethos of RegenCHOICE is to fine-tune the fit of enquiries.
