Consultations

[MaryBethBaker]

Good morning,

Quick question for @juhewitt: Say I have a consultation taking place across Canada with 10 in-person meetings and an online platform. Does this count as 1 unique consultation (e.g. 1 unique ID), or do I enter 10 unique consultations (10 unique IDs)? I looked through the core standard and supporting requirements and wasn't sure how I'd map this use case. I'll keep reading too, in case I've missed the answer to this elsewhere.

Thanks,

Mary Beth

That's a good question. $0.02 from me, I'd say go with 1 consultation with 1 unique ID, and 11 public events each of which references that single unique ID. I think the intent is that a standalone online engagement constitutes a "public event", but one which might only have a PublicEventLink and no PublicEventAddress1, etc.

(Side note, in-person public events could have a PublicEventLink if there was a supporting online component, and that could be the same as the standalone online engagement, if you were gathering feedback both during open houses and online-only.)
