Creating Dynamic Fields from a Look up in Forms

asked on February 17, 2014

Is it possible to create a drop down list dynamically from look up when using forms?  The idea is that a supervisor enter their name in a form field, a look up would run to find a list of this user's employee and a drop down list would be presented to the user containing the names of only their employees.

 

Thanks,

This functionality is already built in. You just need a database that includes a column with a list of your managers  and a column that has employees.

 

The data would look like this:

 

Adam Smith    John Ruby

Adam Smith    Sarah Temple

Karen Jenkins  George Lendved

Karen Jenkins  Paul Trill

Karen Jenkins  Tonya Black

 

Then when the user types in Karen Jenkins you can have it fill in the drop down fields with the three employees that are part of Karen's team.
