Creating a form when another form is saved or......??Another way..

Hi All


I have a form that is going to be used for tracking the WhereAbouts of the person who creates it.

This has to be shown on a calendar.
On the Original form there are 4 pairs of Calendar fields

The field are name StartDate:EndDate:StartDate_1:EndDate_1...etc...
They will be used to track where a person will be within the Date range.

Part of the requirement is thta if the fields are not empty they will show up on a calendar view.

I was thinking it is probably easiest to when the original fom is saved that a script create an new form, One for each date range that is not Blank.

If there is another way to do this I would love to know. They have to show up on a calendar if the date ranges are not empty.

ANy help appreciated\

I don't think that you have to create a doc for each date. Just use the list of dates and trim it so that no blanks are inserted.

Use the list where? In the column in a view?

@TRim(StartDate : EndDate:StartDate_1:EndDate_1etc.....???

In Column

@Trim(@Explode( @TextToTime(@Text(StartDate) + "-" + @Text(EndDate)) : @Explode( @TextToTime(@Text(StartDate_1) + "-" + @Text(EndDate_1))  )

I am using the same view to show calendar events from multiple forms

The following only shows only the info from the first form

@If(Form = "leave_fm";NoShowHolidaysWkEnds;Form = "lsf";@Trim(@Explode( @TextToTime(@Text(StartDate_1) + "-" + @Text(EndDate_1)) : @Explode( @TextToTime(@Text(StartDate_2) + "-" + @Text(EndDate_2))  ) ));"")


The selection formula is as follows

SELECT ((Form = "leave_fm": "LSF") & Approvalstatus="Approved")|(Form="Event")

You have to enable column property (2nd tab) "Show Multiple values as seperate entries"

I can see the documents in the view when in designer, When I look at the calendar the documents are not showing up

As I recall, if you turn on the "multiple values as separate rows" option for more than one column, Notes will try to "match up" corresponding multiple values.

So, if I have two fields:

StartDate: 1/1,2/2,3/3
Comment: Jan,Feb,Mar

And I make a column for startDate, a second column for Comment, and make both columns show multiple values as separate rows, this would be the result:

Row A: 1/1 + Jan
Row B: 2/2 + Feb
Row C: 3/3 + Mar

Check that out by making your vew a regular view, not a calendar view.  If it works as a regular view, you can turn it back into a calendar view, and see if things still match up correctly.
What did you have to do to fix this?
