How to create a data entry screen?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 514

Hi

 

I am completely new to portals and cannot seem to find much in the way of tutorials.

 

I have created my entity and want to now enter data into it.

How do I create a data entry screen?

 

Also does the data get saved to the entity?

Is it possible to save it to a SharePoint list or is this not recommended.

If so then how can I do this?

 

Thank you

    >> You can start by looking at the basic documentation for portals here.

     

    I have created my entity and want to now enter data into it.

    How do I create a data entry screen?

    >> Data entry in portals is done using the concept of Entity Forms. See documentation here on how to add a form to a web page

     

    Also does the data get saved to the entity?

    >> Yes the data gets saved to an entity in Common Data Service (CDS).  Having a basic understanding of CDS entities, forms and views will be helpful in ramping up your knowledge in portals

     

    Is it possible to save it to a SharePoint list or is this not recommended.

    >> From a portal saving data directly to a SharePoint list may not be straightforward and you'd have to do custom and advanced integration for that. However if data is all you want to read and write from a page then CDS entity forms and entity lists should suffice.

     

    If so then how can I do this?
