EditView Validations

[nnarayanan]

Hi,

I am a new bee to SugarCRM and I have been using it for last couple of days. I have also gone throgh the Developer Manual. However I could not figureout how to do the following

I have 2 tables one for student master and other for Agent Master.

Now the form what I am going to develop is to take either student id or agent id

and store it in a different table along with some date and some notes.

While developing a form my idea is I will have the following fields

Student Name : <selection> Agent Name : <Selection>
Student Details : <display> Agent Details : <display>
Date of Remark :
Remarks : <text area>



I am stuggling to implement the following

a) if the student is selected then agent name should get cleared
b) also once a student or agent is selected, I want the program to display their

details like Name and address

What I wanted to know is where and how to implement the above validation? Any help would be highly appreciated?

Regards
Narayanan

Hi Narayanan

I´m a bit confused.
Do you have one field for Student and another one to Agent?
Can you provide us the current layout for this form?

Hi

Lets say I have two fileds one for Student and Another for Agent

When I select the Student Combo box; I want to perform some action like displaying student details and clearing agent detals area. In the same way If I select the Agent combo box, then I want to perform some action like displaying agent details and clearing student details.

The layout is as follows

Select the Student : <Combo Box> : Select the Agent <Combo Box>
==================================== ========================================

Student Details: Agent Details:



Both Student and Agent are kept in two different tables Student and Agent respectively. The idea is to understand is there a way to capture the event of a filed and perfrom action based on the event. In this case click event of the combo box (student / agent)

Hope I am clear. Let me know if this is not clear.

Hi Narayanan

My suggestion:
Create a dropdown field which can manage the visibility of two panels (Student and Agent).
When you choose Student from this new dropdown field the panel Student is displayed and when you choose Agent the Student panel is hidden and the Agent is displayed.

Does it fit your needs?
