# Work Order Chat Feature - Documentation
2+
3+
## Overview
4+
5+
The Work Order Chat feature adds real-time messaging capabilities to Atlas CMMS work orders, making it the **FIRST and ONLY CMMS with integrated chat functionality**. This feature enables seamless communication between technicians, managers, and stakeholders throughout the work order lifecycle.
6+
7+
## Features
8+
9+
### Phase 1 MVP (Implemented)
10+
11+
#### Core Messaging
12+
-**Real-time text messaging** via WebSocket (STOMP protocol)
13+

14+
-**File attachments** (images, videos, documents, max 10MB)
15+
-**Message editing** (own messages only)
16+
-**Message deletion** (soft delete, own messages only)
17+
18+
#### Engagement
19+
-**Emoji reactions** (👍, ❤️, ✅, ⚠️)
20+
-**Read receipts** (see who read your messages)
21+
-**Typing indicators** (see who's typing)
22+

## Database Schema
75+
76+
### work_order_message

```
92+
93+
### work_order_message_read
94+

106+
reaction VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL
107+
created_at TIMESTAMP
108+
```
109+
110+
## Usage
111+
112+
### For End Users
113+
114+
1. **Open Work Order** - Navigate to any work order details page
115+
2. **Click Chat Tab** - Switch to the "Chat" tab
116+
3. **Send Messages** - Type and send text messages
117+
4. **Record Voice** - Click microphone icon to record voice messages (max 1 min)
118+
5. **Attach Files** - Click attachment icons to upload images, videos, or documents
119+
6. **React to Messages** - Click emoji buttons to add reactions
120+
7. **Mark as Read** - Messages are automatically marked as read when viewed
121+
122+
### For Developers
123+
124+
#### Send a System Message
125+
```java
126+
workOrderMessageService.createSystemMessage(workOrder, "Status changed to IN_PROGRESS");
127+
```
128+
129+
#### Check if WO Chat is Read-Only
130+
```java
131+
boolean isReadOnly = workOrderMessageService.isWorkOrderCompleted(workOrderId);
132+
```
133+
134+
#### Subscribe to WebSocket Updates (Frontend)
135+
```typescript
136+
const { messages, isConnected, typingUsers } = useWorkOrderChat(workOrderId);
137+
```
138+
139+
## Security & Access Control
140+
141+
- **Authentication Required** - All endpoints require authenticated user
142+
- **Authorization** - Users can only access chats for work orders they're assigned to or have permission to view
143+
- **File Size Limits** - Max 10MB per file upload
144+
- **Voice Message Limits** - Max 1 minute recording
145+
- **Read-Only Mode** - Chat becomes read-only when work order status is COMPLETE
146+
147+
## Performance Considerations
148+
149+
- **WebSocket Connection** - One connection per user, multiplexed across all open work orders
150+
- **Message Pagination** - Currently loads all messages (future: implement pagination for WOs with 100+ messages)
151+
- **File Storage** - Uses existing file service (S3 or local storage)
152+
- **Database Indexes** - Indexed on work_order_id, user_id, created_at for fast queries
153+
154+
## Future Enhancements (Phase 2+)
155+
156+
### Planned Features
157+
- 🔮 **AI Voice Transcription** - Automatic speech-to-text for accessibility
158+
- 🔮 **Auto-Translation** - Translate messages to user's preferred language
159+
- 🔮 **AI Chat Summarization** - Generate summary when WO completes
160+
- 🔮 **Smart Issue Detection** - AI detects problems mentioned in chat
161+
- 🔮 **@Mentions** - Tag specific users
162+
- 🔮 **Message Search** - Full-text search across chat history
163+
- 🔮 **Mobile App Integration** - React Native components
164+
- 🔮 **Push Notifications** - Mobile notifications for new messages
165+
- 🔮 **Message Pinning** - Pin important messages to top
166+
- 🔮 **Chat Export** - Export chat history to PDF
167+
168+
## Competitive Advantage
169+
170+

### Automated Testing
207+
**Status:** Not yet implemented (recommended for Phase 2)
208+
209+
## Deployment Notes
210+
211+
### Database Migration
212+
**Required:** Create migration script for new tables (work_order_message, work_order_message_read, work_order_message_reaction)
213+
214+
### Environment Variables
215+
No new environment variables required. Uses existing:
216+
- `SPRING_DATASOURCE_URL`
217+
- `FILE_UPLOAD_PATH` (for voice messages and attachments)
218+
219+
### Dependencies
220+
All required dependencies already exist in package.json and pom.xml:
221+
- Backend: `spring-boot-starter-websocket`
222+
- Frontend: `@stomp/stompjs`, `sockjs-client`
223+
224+
## Translation Strings
225+
226+
Add to all language files:
227+
228+
```typescript
229+
chat: 'Chat',
230+
send_message: 'Send message',
231+
record_voice: 'Record voice message',
232+
attach_file: 'Attach file',
233+
message_deleted: 'Message deleted',
234+
typing: 'typing...',
235+
read_only_chat: 'This work order is completed. Chat is read-only.',
236+
```
237+
238+
## Support & Troubleshooting
239+
240+
### Common Issues
241+
242+
**WebSocket not connecting:**
243+
- Check firewall allows WebSocket connections
244+
- Verify CORS configuration includes WebSocket endpoints
245+
- Check browser console for connection errors
246+
247+
**Voice recording not working:**
248+
- Verify browser has microphone permissions
249+
- Check HTTPS is enabled (required for getUserMedia API)
250+
- Ensure browser supports MediaRecorder API
251+
252+
**File upload failing:**
253+
- Check file size < 10MB
254+
- Verify file service configuration
255+
- Check disk space on server
