I am in day 3 of my evaluation and still learning how to drink from the fire hose. I can find resources and am able to perfectly replicate results from tutorials, but I want to do something a little different and I am either not able to synthesize what I have learned, or I am missing some key ingredient.
Most of the examples use grids to show a bunch of data, but I want to show data from multiple tables, and multiple calculated fields that use multiple tables.
I am building an application to ask 3 questions in the form of drop down lists.
1. Select an Address (from property table)
2. Select a construction project (from construction table)
3. Select a financing method (from finance table)
Based on the answer to these 3 questions I have a BUNCH of calculations I want to show.
I have the Dialog drop downs built using the tables to populate the options, but now I need to display things like:
Construction cost = (sq ft from address table * cost per sq ft from construction table * loanrate from financing table)
I hope to be able to change any of the 3 inputs and have the calculated fields update on the fly. I believe that I need to do an ajax call to update a grid where I am displaying calculated fields, but I have not found a tutorial that speaks to this, at least not where all of these different elements are combined using drop downs and stuff. I see a lot of tutorials where javascript and ajax code is being used, but I am not much of a developer, and I am considering this product because it claims you don't need to write code, so I have high hopes :D
It seems like it would be a simple challenge. User has 3 inputs and the results are displayed in real time - almost like a loan calculator.
I understand that I may need to write code, or at least copy from a tutorial, but I am not found the right resources to learn what I need in order to make this happen.
Can anyone point me to a video or collection of videos that specifically describes how to display a list of calculated fields based on many tables?
Thanks so much!
