[visits] Set-up specific Scanning Visits

[skarya22]

• CCNA would like to set-up scanning visits, similar to how sites have a scanning designation- other projects would likely benefit from this as well
• On CCNA we have it set where scanning visits can only take place at scanning sites, and scanning sites can only have scanning visits. This is to be discussed on whether this behaviour is desired for all projects
• The current thought process is to add a column to the visit table similar to psc, which designates the visit as a scanning visit

1. I don't think Sites have any "scanning designation" (AFAIK)
2. I like the Idea
3. it would be my feeling too but in the context of LORIS I think PSC needs a similar column too

[skarya22]

Sorry, misunderstood the MRI_Alias column for site designation

[ridz1208]

good point... not sure if that association is reinforced anywhere?

[ridz1208]

PS: we also may want to consider a Project level scanning flag? not sure exactly of the use cases

[skarya22]

We can consider it, but I am a bit confused as to what that would be used for?

[ridz1208]

I'm also not 100% on where it would not overlap with either visits or sites but in theory, a site is "scanning" when it has a scanner, a visit is "scanning" when a scan is aquired during the visit and a project would be "scanning" if they use or not imaging... So it might affect things like the dashboard you see or the tests list if you are affiliated with a scanning project

@ridz1208 Would it make sense to add the flag for all 3 of Sites, Project, & Visit levels? Currently we have this flag on CCNA for sites

[ridz1208]

I would say yes but only if there is a usecase for it. right now I think we only have the usecase for visit and PSC

lets start with those
