Auto enter date

[lownoma925]

I'm trying to build my FM solution. I need to make it so when a new record is created I need to auto enter the next workday automaticly. If there is no previous work day, I need it to fall within a defined date range. I have a timesheet layout and a days layout and the days are viewed within a portal on the timesheet layout.

Thanks.

You must make a script to create a new record. In the script you can include also a statement to fill a field with your specified data.

This script can be triggered by the user by creating a button. This button can be setup by selecting your button area > Format > Button setup > Perform script (your created script name)

Example script

New Record/Request

Set Field [your file name::your date field name; Get ( CurrentDate)+1]

This script makes a new record and fill a date field with the date of tomorrow.

You haven't indicated the 'defined date range.' But adding one day to the current date won't ignore weekends. Are work days Monday-Friday? I would also let Auto-Enter ( Do Not Replace ) take care of this. Auto-Enter by calculation on that date of:

Get ( CurrentDate ) + 1 + Position ( "17" ; DayOfWeek (Get ( CurrentDate ) + 1 ) ; 1 ; 1 )

or for easier readability:

Let ( nextDay = Get ( CurrentDate ) + 1 ;

nextDay + Position ( "17" ; DayOfWeek ( nextDay ) ; 1 ; 1 )

)

If there is more to your need, you'll need to fill us in on the rules.
