Dear Community,

 

Has anybody succeeded in crating record producer that can create Change Blackout Schedule automatically after approval. I am not a developer and looking for simple practical guidelines, if that is possible, of course.

Many thanks!

 

Kind regards,

Elitsa

Hi @Elitsa 

 

Greetings!!

We had a similar requirement from our client, but to be honest, it turned out to be quite complex.

In short, here’s what we did:

  • We created a Record Producer to capture high-level details and made the schedule name available as a variable on the form.

  • The user was then asked to provide the necessary details through that form.

  • Once submitted, the user had to use another Record Producer, where we referenced the first-created schedule as the parent record.

  • In that second form, the user was asked to enter the schedule entries—start time, end time, and other relevant details.

  • We created multiple variables and mapped them on the backend accordingly.

It may look simple on the surface, but it was quite involved behind the scenes.
