  • 1.  New object creation

    Posted May 16, 2017 05:55 AM

    Hi Team,

     

    Is there a way to create custom object having same view as Resource object. We want to create object that on click of New button, will first ask to select a type (like Resource Labor , role) and on selection will go to the respective creation page.

     

    Thanks,

    Pragya Singh

    Hi Pragya,

     

    Resource is OOTB Object and its not possible to have selection of role/type followed by creation page.

     

    However you can achieve similar look and feel where you can create an custom object with role as boolean and type as lookup followed by create page with mandatory fields and when you save that page you can have different edit subpages based on role and type.

     

    Also if you can provide us more specific requirement that why you need to replicate resource object, then I might be able to guide you to right path.

     

    Regards,

    Prashank Singh

    Hi Prasanth,

     

    How to do the setup you mentioned:

    "However you can achieve similar look and feel where you can create an custom object with role as boolean and type as lookup followed by create page with mandatory fields and when you save that page you can have different edit subpages based on role and type."

     

    We want to automate user data changes through an object. On clicking "New", it should show ask to select change type like user deactivation or user resource manager change. Based on the selection, the create page will display fields that would be required for executing the request.

     

    Thanks,

    On your object "layout - create" page you just have the type field, on the "layout - edit" page you have some subpages that have a display condition upon them dependant upon the type.
