-- Which person on the register signed the form, not just what they were called at the time.
|
|
--
|
|
-- "Approved by" has been a typed name since the first form was entered, and the typed name is
|
|
-- staying exactly where it is. byName is the name AS SIGNED: a signed order form does not start
|
|
-- reading differently because the manager who signed it was later married, promoted or taken off
|
|
-- the register. What the typed name could never do was point at a person, so the only way to find
|
|
-- what a manager had approved was to match a string, and a spelling change broke the match
|
|
-- silently.
|
|
--
|
|
-- Nullable, and deliberately not backfilled. Every approval already recorded in this linen room
|
|
-- was typed before the register search existed, and guessing which person a signature meant would
|
|
-- put somebody's name against an approval nobody actually chose them for. Those rows keep their
|
|
-- signature and no link, which is the truth about them. New approvals get both, and a manager who
|
|
-- is not on the register at all — agency, visiting — still records as a signature alone.
