Laserfiche Forms Collections

asked on April 9, 2015

I have a form I am creating for needed updates. What I have is a vendor, equipment and then contract prices.

When they fill out the form for the vendor they may have more than one contract price to enter for the equipment. I have this set in a collection so they can just select the "Add" button and add the next contract. What I have a issue with is, I would like for them to select the second piece of equipment for that vendor and then add the contract prices that are needed for that piece of equipment.

The way I started doing this was a collection inside of a collection. The additional service contract process work great, however, when I select add additional Equipment I just get a line with an X on the side. Here is the form set up

Thanks Blake, that got me partially there. I would like to see when I select equipment the contract prices show up under that equipment. When I then select Add equipment then the next equipment shows up with the contract prices under it. Here is what I get now. I would like to see Equipment> Contract Information then Equipment>Contract Information. Kind of like my original screen shot that had one piece of equipment. If I have a second then the second would look like the first.

Hi there,

If both Contract Information and Equipment Information is repeatable, and one contract information is mapping one equipment information. Those two should be in the same collection.

The form is similar to this:

Customer

Account Number

Invoice Number

Equipment A

Contract 1

Contract 2

Equipment B

Contract 1

Contract 2

Contract 3

The customer information is the same the Equipment may be 1 to 3 different pieces of equipment and and number of contracts to each equipment.

I am trying to get it to where if there is more than one piece of equipment then the account managers don't have to enter the account information again on a new form.

Currently Forms doesn't have a way to allow collections under one collection. When you have Contract 1, Contract 2 under Equipment A; is it the same Contract 1 and same Contract 2 under Equipment B?

No it is different contracts for each equipment as these will have different pricing. There will be pricing in fields next to each equipment .Based on the equipment the pricing will be different for each contract.

Forms currently doesn't support collection inside collection. You can add a fixed number of Contracts in the Collection for now to retrieve data.
