Audit Software

Posted on by Caggiewaggie

Hi,

Trying to make a long story short. I want to build a software that I can use to conduct an audit of different softwares, updating things like, licences, cost, users, departments etc. I may not find all of this info in one go so want to be able to add the info in when needed, i.e. and Edit form.

However, I don't want to overwrite any data, as I will need a historical record. Is there a way I can make it an Edit form unless its not blank but then pull the info from the last entry into the new form submission i.e. if the just the cost changes but I need to keep old and new cost, it pulls everything else across without overwriting the old?

Hi @Caggiewaggie ,

If you are using SharePoint, then it does have a Version history, however that may not be what you want. Your best option would be to write a new record each time, but you could pre-populate some of the fields from the old record selected.

@Caggiewaggie ,

Set the Default of your controls in the new form to the fields you have selected in the Gallery for the existing item.
