Reading the right link when a job has several

A job that's been re-sent has several customer links; the screen reads the one carrying the approval and the history, not merely the newest.

What it is

An authority order over a job's estimate links: an approval is the strongest fact, an open is next, and recency only breaks ties between links that say nothing. Among equally-ranked links, the one carrying the customer's actual journey — contract, then intake, then a real approval timestamp — wins.

How it works
  1. 1All links for the job load together.
  2. 2Rank: approved (3) > opened (2) > nothing (1).
  3. 3Tie-break on journey depth: contract > intake form > approval timestamp.
  4. 4Recency only breaks ties between equals.
Why we built it

A job that has been re-sent has several customer links, and taking the newest one is usually wrong. On one deal the newest of three had never been opened while an older one carried 12 views and the approval, so the estimates screen reported 'not viewed, not approved' while the pipeline correctly showed it approved. On another, the real approved link lost a tie to a bare approved-status link created the moment the project started, and the customer's Project Dashboard opened a portal with no history that bounced them straight to the details form. The screen now reads the link carrying the approval and the history, not merely the most recent one.

The problem
  • Re-sends orphaning the approval and view history
  • The customer's portal link opening a page with no history
