Hi all.
I have embedded a view onto my form. I have selected the “Single Category View” option. I would like it so it just displays the correct information based on the information that the user had submitted.
So for instance…if the user submits form A…
when the director follows the link to the form A…and clicks the “events” button on Form A, form B will then open.
It is on form B that i have put the embedded object into a tabbed table.
Do i need a formula of some sort to just display the correct information for that particular user who filled out form A to be displayed on form B.
If so I would like to display their user ID.
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks
Subject: RE: Single Category view not working
There is no “Single category view” option. There’s a single category formula associated with the embedded view. The formula must return the category value you want to display.In this case, it sounds like the categories are usernames, and you want to display documents categorized under a username of someone who is not the current user. That’s fine, but you have to figure out a formula that will return the username you do want.
So when the director clicks the control that opens form B – are they composing a new document? If so you could inherit a field value from the saved document, and use that in your category formula. If they’re opening an existing document, does it already contain the username you want in some field?
