aethere Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 I'm working on a Customer that has a master data file of information for each store. Some of their products are ordered by store number, some are ordered by store brand. Currently, I have the iForm set up to populate the form with only the store numbers/brands that the users have in their territory. Problem becomes, if the spreadsheet is updated I need to go through each product and adjust accordingly. Is there a way that I could populate a Form from information found in the ExternalDataFile? Meaning, is it possible to say something along the lines of "If UserID == 'aetheredge', show only values assigned to that user" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasLewis Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 You can do this with the User Context ID field in the iForm. You'll still have to update the iForm every time they make changes but you shouldn't have to change the product templates at all. We use PHP to convert the customer databases into the iForm format so its a pretty fast process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aethere Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Ahh...OK. I'm currently doing with iForms, so I'll investigate how to make that process faster. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
