Globals

[TechRangerBrad]

Not sure if this is the right forum for this or not, but does anyone know of a good white paper or read me on globals?

Basically what I am trying to accomplish is when a user logs in, they go to their related records and only their records.

Is globals the way to accomplish this?

How are you assigning the records to the user?

Once you know that you can easily create FINDS that OMIT or FIND records that contain an EXACT matching criteria.

You can also do what you want via the RELATIONSHIP between tables.

Provide more information and you will get more information

Sorry for the lack of info - but having a hard time wrapping my head around this.

Teacher logins - sees his classes based on a teachers table, a join table and a sections table - then he sees his students based on the sections table a join and a students table.

What I would like is for a teacher to login, see his classes, then be able to click on his classes and see his students.

Well it really depends on how you want to present your data in the layout. However, you can use the Go to Related Records step to get to both your related classes and students.

I have the sections that the teachers are teaching in a list format, then when they click on the students they go to a form page where they can scroll through the students one student at a time.

I hope that is the info you are looking for -

I have struggled to implement the related record script step.

I really need to take some classes :o
