My notes for this enquiry:

[EnqNote]

The location for this enquiry is where I want it to be centred around.
To prevent people using your location, choose "nowhere". If you do this, you will not be allowed to ask for any correspondent location either. For a better chances of a fit, choose a relevant location.

Choose from list of locations

nowhere – hide my location

near wherever I am at the time

near my usual place

near [LocName]

near [LocName]

Use the selected location
Do not change anything; go to the enquiry page

See enquiry information about location

Page form depends on context. If it is choosing location for the first time, give a list of all locations used, with the most likely at the top. If changing location, give current one separately at the top.

Information required and sources

Key: {EnqID}

• {EnqName} –
• {EnqNote} – to help remind enquirer of what is sought
• {EnqLID} – current value of Location ID
• For each defined location:
• {LocID}
• {LocName}

---

Pre-processing

• which locations have been used in the current enquiry type
• which locations are out of date

---

What the user is doing

• Choosing the location for the enquiry, from defaults and ones user has already defined.

---

Post-processing

If the enquiry is marked as location-irrelevant, flag it so that user cannot use location to select correspondents.

• mark selected as being used in current context, if not already

---

Information output

• enquiry location ID → DEV + LSV

---

Implications for database

• LSV needs to have locations in own table, plus link of which are used in which enquiry type

Treatment of time

Time is probably an optional extra. Minimum viable product probably does not need to include time at all. Some of the detail here can therefore be deferred until a later version.

For some locations, like home, I'm there a lot of the time, and arranging a time can be left to arrange later. Other locations are time-constrained, so we want people to answer who haven't ruled out that time.

When we have time, allow moving locations: means of transport, from, to, departing time. This would probably be a primary means of selection, where used, as numbers would be low, but of course allows any particular constraint to be asked for.

In essence, what I want here is a list of previously defined locations and times. If a location was time limited in the past, it can be resurrected for present and future.
