Trigger Safety?

[pctechtv]

We have a need for a user to click on a checkbox for purpose of deeming something Complete. It is an important decision in our solution because once deemed Complete it will set up other options we need to do. We want to be sure this is the correct decision. I would like know about any methods of making an important decisions trigger have to be released with a safety. I was imagining a Script that displays a message that kind of gives a checklist or some things to consider before deeming something Complete. I guess a Script could take a user to a layout and give them just that. a checklist that once all criteria is met (checked) it could continue the Script and allow for the Complete choice to be chosen and If not, it will not allow it. I was thinking there may be other ways so I am inquiring.

I think your idea of jumping to a separate layout is a good one, if you want to make sure the user understands what they're doing. You could also throw up a simple dialog with the default button set to 'Cancel' so that the user simply has to confirm that they want to mark it as complete. This would be more standard, although depending on your solution maybe you would prefer to go with the full-page idea.

 

If you're using FileMaker 12, I believe you can create modal dialogs which are based on layouts but more involved than the Custom Dialog box. This might suit your purposes nicely.
