Hi,

I am trying to build a workflow where - There is a main screen with rows of records (house number) listed. Each row navigates to “inspection type” screen gallery which has 5 inspections in it. As I click on the first inspection. It takes me to another screen (Footing Inspection) that has an edit form. I fill the form and save.
I duplicated the edit form (again in a separate screen - Footing Inspection View) and changed the display to view mode so that it appears as submitted data. I also added a back button to the display form that takes me to the “Inspection types” screen directly.

My questions are :

1. Since the data for one inspection type is submitted, how can I navigate to display form directly from the inspection types screen for the house #. So if for House # 123 ABC Street, the Footing inspection was completed, if I click again on the same inspection, I want to see the “Display form” instead of the edit form. Is that possible?

2. What flow do I need to set so that for a house number clicked, inspection type screen opens up only after the previous inspection has been completed.

any help or suggestion will highly be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @Ivnam ,

Its little tricky to visualize but can you tell what's on your Inspection Screen?
I want to know "“inspection type” screen gallery which has 5 inspections in it." how is this 5 inspections set or stored?
Is it some records in your datasource or its simply hard-coded so you can navigate and fill up some details regarding the main Record (House Number)?

To answer you 1st question,
You can have 1 screen that leverages both Edit and View functionality.
Example: If your Footing inspection contains record then show Form in View Mode else in Edit Mode.
You can also add an Edit Icon which on click, you can set a variable which will switch the Form's view mode to Edit mode.

That's efficient considering you want to make changes + managing future changes on 1 screen rather than making updates on multiple screens.

Hope this helps

Thank you @Ethan_R. This was helpful!

I created a view form and then added an edit icon that navigates to the 2nd screen.

Any help on the second question?
