| PROJECT 1: Our Solar System |
 |
|
| Our Task: Create an input form listing the planets in our solar system that is read only. Create a second input form that allows the data to be updated, deleted, or added. |
| |
| Result: This task was simple and took only a few minutes. Most of the time was spent finding a public domain source of information. I found it at NASA. |
| |
| 1. |
I created a table by typing five fields (Name of Planet, Orbit from Sun (millions), Diameter, Mass, Satellites (moons)) into the table builder and selecting data types. |
| |
| 2. |
I created an input form by entering a title and selecting the above table in the input form builder. I clicked the update, delete and add options off. |
| |
| 3. |
I created a second input form with the same table. |
| |
| 4. |
I clicked the single view settings at the bottom of the settings page in both input forms and generated a special hyperlink. Normally users would use input forms inside the secure role based login. The administrator chooses the level of security, which we turned off to display here. |
| |
|
| Here is the result. |
| The First Solar System Input Form (View) |
| The Second Solar System Input Form (View, Update, Delete, and Add) |
| Your Task: Remove Pluto from the planet list. Add it back. |
| |
| 1. |
Click on the first input form and copy the Pluto row for your second task by selecting it (click on row number on left) then copy (ctrl-c) |
| |
| 2. |
Click the delete toggle only for the Pluto row and click submit. |
| |
| 3. |
Open the second input form and paste (ctrl-v) into the first cell. Notice that the input form pastes the entire row, which also works when coping and pasting rows from Excel. Click submit. |
| |
| 4. |
Open the first input form to see that Pluto is back. |
