Configuring the List blocks in Requests
The Requests list blocks represent three different order statuses and therefore each require a slightly different configuration.
The list blocks in this Accelerator-based example can be configured to show requests on the app that either are Reported, In progress and Completed.
Procedure
1. On the navigation panel, go to > and select the Requests module.
2. Select the Requests web definition you want to configure, or create a new one.
3. On the data panel, go to the field Show requests grouped by order group. Set this field to Yes, if you want the available requests to be shown on the app grouped by order group. Set the field to No if you want to show the available requests in a plain list (shown in alphabetical order).
4. Select List block 1 from the bottom elements panel on the left.
5. Go to List fields on the data panel.
6. In the Is visible field select Yes.
7. Go to the Fixed filter field.
The macro ( (Requestor = &PERSON) ) is already filled in.
8. To this existing macro, add the name and code of a relevant Reported status that exists in your configuration. For example: AND (Status In RQ10, Reported).
( (Requestor = &Person) AND (Status In RQ10, Reported) )
9. In the Title field, add a relevant title for the list block.
10. Add additional fields to the list block as required.
11. Click the Save button at the bottom right.
12. Select List block 2.
13. Repeat steps 4-10 for this block.
Only now, in the Fixed filter field, add: AND (Status In RQ30, In progress), or the name and code of a relevant In progress status that exists in your configuration.
( (Requestor = &Person) AND (Status In RQ30, In progress) )
14. Select List block 3.
15. Repeat steps 4-10 for this block.
Only now, in the Fixed filter field, add: AND (Status = RQ40, Completed) , or the name and code of a relevant Completed status that exists in your configuration.
( (Requestor = &Person) AND (Status = RQ40, Completed) )
Requests are shown on the app in 3 different categories, according to their status.
 | You can use different macros than the ones on the list blocks to create different categories. For more information on using macros, see the Fundamentals user documentation. |
