Create a FIFO List with Repeating Group

[cinji18]

Hi everyone:

I am using a repeating group to list the next 4 upcoming events for my organization. Is there a way to set it up as a FIFO (First In, First Out) list so that it automatically removes events that passes the current date, then adds the next event on the list to the group?

Thank you.

hello @cinji18!

you can easily do that with a date filter applied on a repeating group with fixed number of rows.

Your repeating group datasource should be do a search for: events where date >= current date/time: rounded down to day. This way, when an event is over it automatically gets filtered out, the rows shift up and the empty row is filled with the next available event.

Hello @cinji18,

Here is the solution to your problem.

You can apply constraints when giving data source to the repeating group.
For reference I have attached the screenshot:

This will help to show the events whose time has not passed.

For deleting the events that have passed the event time.

(Note: You need to search data from the database directly).

I have created a workflow when the page is loaded. I have deleted the data from the database for reference I have attached the screenshot:
