Record ID For Second Page in App

rollerroman — Tue, 25 May 2021 23:24:37 GMT

I have an app with customer info etc. I want to create a second screen for detailed info. When I click on a button to go to a new screen, the new screen has a new Record ID. The record ID is different every time I click on that button. I can't "set the recordID" of the screen because a) the first time I click this link there wouldn't be a recordID, and the second time I would need to go to the first recordd ID, not a new one. I couldd probably create a conditional statement like "If this button has not been pushed, go to this screen and then save the active record ID into a table. If it has been pushed, load record ID from this table" but this seems a complicated way to just simply add a second screen to an existing app screeen.

How do I create a second screen that will have a consistent recordID?

Thank you!

Email Merge Multiple Records

I am trying to email a list of people who worked on a project. The main page is in one table, and I have an editable grid within that page with the list of people who should be included in the email.

I can join all of those entries, and I can put that into an action result, but then when I try and merge that action result into the email template, it asks for a record ID, however I don't have a record ID as it is coming from an action result. If I put in the active screen record ID, it errors.

So, my question is, do I have this setup correctly, and if not, is there a better way to do this? What is the best way to include a list in an email template.

Thank you for your time!

Re: Retrieve Total Time Per Employee and Per Customer

Hello Inder,

Yes, there would be multiple employees on the same job. Yes, I want to calculate on the level of the job.

I am aware of the paid service, I tried it once with several of your authorized partners and it was not a good service, so I decided to try it myself. If I can't figure it out, I will definitely work directly with Method.

Retrieve Total Time Per Employee and Per Customer

rollerroman — Wed, 13 Feb 2019 23:42:47 GMT

I am a bit of a novice, so please forgive me and go slow. :)

I want to have a table with a summary of hours each of my employees worked on a particular customers job. For instance, column 1 would be the name, column 2 would be the total hours. Sometimes there are 2-10 employees on a particular job. Another way to ask this would be, I can retrieve a value from a table, but only display the first result, I want to display all UNIQUE results in column A, and sum the total of the corresponding B columns and display that in a new table.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Re: Table A to Table B on Another Screen

Hello Ben,

Thank you for your help with this. The shared result effectively gave me what I wanted, but I have run into a new problem. Essentially what I am trying to do is create an app where I have a customer table and then I have a checklist for that customer on a new screen. I want to be able to click that list screen and have it display the list for that customer and only that customer, and there would only be one list. In other words, I just want a new screen with a new table that is associated with the customer record ID.

Any advice?

Table A to Table B on Another Screen

rollerroman — Fri, 23 Feb 2018 00:36:23 GMT

Hello, I am kinda new to method, so I apologize if this is easy or covered in another topic.

Here is what I want to do. I want to create a project management app, where the first screen is a list of projects, and when you click on that customer/project, you go to a screen with information of that project. I want to be able to have an app ribbon, and I want to be able to edit this data.

So here is my problem, on the apps first screen, I used a grid with the customer's table when you click on that customer, you go to a screen. If on this second screen, I use the customer table, it will display the opportunity app ribbon, if I use my "project management" table with linked fields, I can't get the dropdown/linked fields to populate with the record ID from the customer's table. So I need to populate the dropdown field record id with the grid record id of another table. Is this possible, or is there an easier way to accomplish this?
