clsScheduleManager¶

clsScheduleManager maintains the hearing schedule for a legal case: inserting and deleting schedule rows (deletion allowed only while the row is Cancelled — Business rules), driving assignment-driven file-location and status transitions, printing/emailing Defense Evaluation Form (DEF) letters, and synchronizing hearing schedule data to Guidewire as a matter and, for hearing/mediation types, as a claim activity. It reads the current user's default printer at construction time for DEF-letter printing. It inherits LegalManagerBase (this library) → ClaimAppManager (SAIF.Application.Claim).

Purpose¶

Insert and delete hearing schedule rows for the current legal case, restricting deletion to Cancelled-status rows (Business rules).
Drive file-location and case-status transitions triggered by assignment/schedule changes.
Print and email Defense Evaluation Form (DEF) letters, marking the case as DEF-sent and, outside Production, redirecting the reminder email to the current user (Business rules).
Synchronize hearing schedule data to Guidewire as a "matter" (and, for HEAR/MED schedule types, as a claim activity), gated on an attorney being assigned and tolerant of integration failures (Business rules).

Context¶

Namespace: SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal
Assembly/package: SAIF.Application.Claim.Legal.dll (embedded library, referenced by the Legal web front end)

Public members¶

Member	Signature	Purpose
`New(inDatabase, inSecurityPrincipal)`	`Public Sub New(inDatabase As String, inSecurityPrincipal As clsSecurityPrincipal)`	Constructs the manager for the given database context and authenticated principal, calling into `LegalManagerBase.New` and capturing the principal's default printer for DEF-letter printing.
`ScheduleCol`	`Public ReadOnly Property ScheduleCol As clsLegalScheduleCollection`*	Exposes the hearing schedule collection for the current legal case.
`DeleteSchedule()`	`Public Sub DeleteSchedule()`	Deletes the selected schedule row, blocking the operation with `"Error: Cancel the event and save, before deleting a schedule row"` unless the row is in Cancelled status (Business rules).
`PrintDEF()`	`Public Sub PrintDEF()`	Computes the next Friday hold date, calls `LegalManagerBase.insertLetterRequest` with letter type `"DEFLT"`, sets `CurrentCase.DefSentDate = Today` and `SendDefFlag = clsConstants.Yes`, and propagates the DEF-sent flag to consolidated cases when invoked from a popup context (Business rules).
`SendDEFEmail()`	`Public Sub SendDEFEmail()`	Looks up the assigned attorney's manager email via `pk80001_LEGALNET.get_atty_mngr_email`, redirects the email to the current user outside Production with a body annotation naming the real recipient, resets `SendDefFlag`, propagates to consolidated cases, and sends mail via `Mail.SendMail` (Business rules).
`SendDataToGw()`	`Public Sub SendDataToGw()`	Builds a `GwMatterRequest` from the current schedule and calls the Guidewire `GwMatterApi` client, skipping the call when no attorney is assigned, retrying a failed create as an update, and logging (not throwing) on failure (Business rules).
`CreateScheduleActivity()`	`Public Sub CreateScheduleActivity()`*	Pushes a Guidewire claim activity (hearing/mediation reserve reminder, due in 30 days) for `HEAR`/`MED` schedule types after a successful matter sync.

Behavioral notes¶

PrintDEF() and SendDEFEmail() together implement the DEF workflow: printing marks the case DEF-sent, while the subsequent email reminder resets the pending-send flag once dispatched (Business rules).
SendDataToGw() follows the same best-effort Guidewire integration pattern used elsewhere in this library — failures are logged via Logging.clsLogError.CreateError and never surfaced to the caller (Business rules).

Constraints and usage notes¶

DeleteSchedule() requires the row to be Cancelled first; there is no direct-delete path for an active schedule row (Business rules).

Note: Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure, naming conventions, or contextual evidence where direct confirmation was not available in source artifacts.
