Re: Portal app for external users to use without a login to search for a specific records
Hi @Jamaal_Simpson ,
i am afraid, that some coding is needed here. As far as i know, the list of engineers is completely visible (of course depending on the view you selected), When you make an entitybasiclist with searchoption(s), all ist shown and you can search within.
This is to my knowledge the standard behaviour.
To overcome this, i would write a page with my inputs and call a "webservice" made of a fetchxml search which tries to find the engineer. If it finds more than one it returns nothing (for example). After finding the engineer you could open a standard basic form with the engineer and a subgrid with his qualifications.
May be a german question: why would you do so? Why would you force your users to have a really unique search and force them to find one and only one specific engineer, when the users should be able to find any engineer?
So, the list approch would be completely fine for me. You could also set up some filtercriteria on the list letting the users filter on specific qualifications or so.
The problem on the whole approach is to me, that a bot could find any engineer by filling out the form automatically (and you would have to pay for the accesses 🙂 )
How do the users know, whom to search? If you have to give them the names you could also have some kind of engineer numbers which are handed out and the users could find the engineer by numer for example. You could also print a qr-code on the businesscard to reference the engineer somehow 🙂
Well, sorry for the long text. I do not want to question your architecture or your requirements, but i did not fully get the problem 🙂
Have fun,
Christian
