I’m making an app where companies can create visual work instructions for their workers to access. Under each W.I, they can create step-by-step work procedures.
If companies want to change the order of work procedures or if they want to add a new work procedure in between step 2 and step 3, they are unable to do so in the app I built.
If all work procedures are visible in a repeating group in the order in which they were created, is it possible to change the order of work procedures in the repeating group?
Please help @emmanuel@andrewgassen@fayewatson@soh.ju.hu@TipLister
This is definitely possible…lots of ways to do it…it requires your database to be structured properly and workflows to change the database fields associated with ordering.
Feel free to check out my template which is a Kanban Board that allows for users to use drag and drop for reordering repeating groups
Most important thing in the DB is to have a field of type number that is ‘Sort Order’ then in workflows setup the events so that when it is changed, all other items will have their sort order changed as well.
The workflows can be somewhat challenging to figure out the logic, but it is not overly complex.
Hey @boston85719
Thanks for the response.
I took your advice and added a ‘step order number’ to the work procedures and added reorder functionality to a repeating group.
However, the work procedures to the users that are visible on the ‘work_procedure’ page are not getting reordered. Only the procedures on the ‘create_procedure’ page are reordered.
Can you Pleeaasee help me solve this? I need to get this app functioning immediately to demo it to a prospective client.
