I started looking into ofbiz because I need to create a solution for a new regulation we have at work. We are a courthouse and the state has mandated that we provide representation for individuals on a daily basis. In a nutshell, I need to have a system where a clerk can assign a defendant to an attorney. The attorney would then have to provide counsel within 36 hours and report back that they had done so. An administrator would be able to oversee the process and verify it. Then pay the attorney for the counsel. The defendant might have multiple consultations with different attorneys/ probation officers/ drug testing facilities over the time that the case is active.
I've played around with ofbiz, adding data using the various ootb components and I've tried the getting started tutorial, successfully adding the ofbiz demo plugin. That went fine. Now I am trying to figure out how to implement a solution. I am thinking that the Project component would be a good place to start because I can make a "Defendant" project and add attorney / probation officer / reviewer resources, then an administrator could create phases like "Initial Counsultation, Drug Testing, etc" Does this sound like I am on the right track? Or should I be looking at it differently?
