Communication subtypes

Intranet · Communication subtypes

CRUD for the categories that classify intranet communications, so stores and management can filter and route messages consistently.

How it works

Deletion is handled on the route (deleteModel/showDeleteModal) via the shared show-confirm-deletion service and throws Error("deleteModel(): parameter 'model' is not a valid DS.Model") on a bad argument. The model carries no validations of its own, so correctness depends entirely on the API.

Use cases

Why someone opens this (3)

• Separating maintenance issues from commercial notices from access requests.
• Giving the communications list meaningful filter options.
• Retiring a subtype that is no longer used.

Happy paths

Subtype created and used

1. Manager creates a subtype with a name.
2. It becomes selectable when composing a communication and as a filter on the list.

Failure paths

Invalid model on delete

Cause — deleteModel called without a valid record.

What happens — Throws a developer-facing Error.

Deleting a subtype in use

Cause — Communications still reference it.

What happens — API rejection; there are no client-side validations on this model at all, so every rule lives server-side.
