TL Apply Flow UI Details

Objective: To provide the facility for the user to create a trade license application for the current year by citizen or counter employee.

Apply for Trade License

Users can apply for a trade license application by clicking on the Apply for Trade License button. Users can add all the information as per the questions asked across the workflow. The summary screen at the end of the flow displays all details for review. Users can click on the submit button after review. The application for a trade license is created for the current financial year.

Apply Flow - The trade license registration screen is displayed after login which helps users identify the documents required to apply for a trade license. A citizen info card at the bottom of the page displays any additional information about the maximum size of the file that can be uploaded.

Trade License Details/Assessment Flow - This flow captures the trade-specific information required for registering the trade.

Trade Name - The user provides the name of the trade. An info card is displayed at the bottom of the screen stating that the license will be issued for the current financial year. The financial year value is retrieved from the MDMS.

Structure Type - The users can select yes or no based on whether the trade has mobility or not. If yes, the next screen prompts you to enter the vehicle type. If no, the next screen moves to the building type page.

Vehicle Type / Building Type - The options for vehicle and building type are fetched from the MDMS. The Building Type screen displays an information card about the pucca or kuccha options.

Commencement Date - It defines the date on which the trade started or will start in the future.

Trade Units - Users must provide the trade category as either goods or services. Based on the selected option the Trade Type is loaded from the MDMS as a drop-down list. The trade sub-type options are loaded based on the selected trade type. The unit of measure and UOM value get pre-populated from the MDMS as per the options selected above.

Users must enter at least one unit to move forward. Clicking on Add More Unit option enables users to enter additional units. Clicking on the delete icon on the top right corner of the unit card removes the unit.

Accessories - The Accessory page inquires if there are any accessories required for the business. Accessories may not be compulsory for all trades. If yes, it will move to the accessory details page. If no, it will skip it altogether and will load the address flow.

Accessory details - The options for accessories are retrieved from the MDMS. The Unit of Measure or UOM is pre-populated and cannot be edited. The users can edit the UOM value and the accessory count. In some cases, these are pre-populated from the MDMS. Clicking on Add More Trade Accessory button allows users to add multiple accessories.

Common PT integration with TL: After entering the trade details, users have the option to either search and integrate the already created property or create new lightweight property data for the trade license. This step can be skipped and users can proceed with the normal address details flow.

Once a property is selected user can see the details of the property on the property details page. Refer to the Common PT document for more details.

Address Details Flow - In the next flow, users have to enter the trade address details. This flow is straightforward, without any conditional routing.

Users can pinpoint the location in the Geo-location map, according to which pin code and city, as well as locality, is auto-filled.

Owner Details Flow - Finally, the users need to enter the trade owner details. Ownership can be Single or Multiple Owners. According to which the details are filled.

In the case of single/multiple owners, the following screen is displayed. The remaining flows remain the same.

Users can add multiple owners by clicking on the add owner button - a similar functionality as in trade units and accessories. The Add Owner button is not visible in case the user selects a single owner on the previous page.

The user must provide the owner's primary address and upload three documents that include address proof, owner identity and owner photograph.

Check Page and Acknowledgement Screen - Users can cross-verify the data entered throughout the flow in the Check page. Clicking on the change option adjacent to the data fields allows users to make any changes or updates to the data. The user is redirected back to a corresponding information page and the entire flow is repeated once again to submit the application.

The Applying of Trade License Create API is called. Create API snippet:1create: "/tl-services/v1/_create"

If the API response is successful, then the Acknowledgement Screen is displayed, otherwise Failed Acknowledgement Screen is displayed.

Clicking on the Download Acknowledgement Form button downloads the PDF copy of the acknowledgement.

Technical Implementation Details

All screens are developed using the new-UI structure followed previously in FSM, PGR and PT, except for multi-component.

Apply Trade License main index link: https://github.com/egovernments/digit-ui-internals/blob/main/packages/modules/tl/src/pages/citizen/Create/index.js

The TL (Trade License) module is segregated into a specified structure. The screen configuration is inside the PageComponent folder, and the configuration for routing of the pages are mentioned under the config folder which is common for both citizen and employees. Below is the snippet for folder structure and routing configuration.

export const newConfig = [
  {
    head: "",
    body: [
      {
        type: "component",
        component: "TLInfoLabel",
        key: "tradedetils1",
        withoutLabel: true,
        hideInCitizen: true,
      }
    ]
  },

The pages folder is where the high-level configuration for controlling the whole flow is mentioned, for citizens and employees. Citizen flows include Create, Edit Trade, Renewal, Applications and Search Trade. The index or the starting point of the entire flow is available in this folder.

In the Accessory-details page, the Billing slab search API "/tl-calculator/billingslab/_search" is called. This returns the array list of all the accessories for which the billing slab has been configured. If the response returns an empty array then the options are curated from the MDMS API mentioned in the MDMS data section.

After completing the flow the user can download the acknowledgement PDF form of the License created. PDF generation config link: https://github.com/egovernments/digit-ui-internals/blob/main/packages/modules/tl/src/utils/getTLAcknowledgementData.js

The Utils folder basically contains all the methods used throughout the TL module. Additional common methods can be imported and added to this folder.

For creating an application the Create API from Trade License is called using the React hooks. This is declared in the hooks/elements/TL as TLService.

MDMS Data

There are multiple pages within the workflows where data is imported from the MDMS. The table below lists the pages .js files for distinct page components.

React Hooks are used to calling MDMS data that is shared across the modules. Below is the code snippet for the MDMS call.

const { isLoading, data: Documentsob = {} } = Digit.Hooks.tl.useTradeLicenseMDMS(stateId, "TradeLicense", "TLDocuments");

Localization

Localization keys are added to the ‘rainmaker-tl’ locale module. In future, if any new labels are implemented in the Trade License (Citizen) it is pushed to the locale DB in the rainmaker-tl locale module. Below is an example of a few locale labels.
