How should I enter and show data for a multiple list/gallery app?

Hello,

 

I'm looking for ideas or suggestions on how to setup my app due to change of requirements

 

So the app starts with a Home Screen which has a gallery linked to an initial SharePoint list which contains the from the following columns: BuildingName; RAGStatus - this is how I currently have it setup.

When you create a new form, the initial screen loads where you can choose the Building and the Topic - this is in the initial SharePoint list named "DocData".

Then we have a gallery that is linked to the "colDocDataSP" SharePoint list - this allows repeating functionality so that multiple sub-topics can be chosen from the set Building and Topic on the "DocData" SharePoint list.

 

Due to a change in requirements however, I've now been informed that there is a requirement for each building to have multiple Topics and then be able to choose multiple Subtopics - so this leads me to go down the same route as the Subtopic repeating table gallery for the Topic.

 

This is a breakdown of how the process should work.

  1. New Report button (Home Screen)
  2. Select building and RAGStatus and enter Summary on form (master form that is submitted to SharePoint. 
  3. Gallery shows "Topic" dropdown and multiline text fields for "Claim" - Topic choice value is chosen and text is entered into Claim.
  4. On Topic choice being chosen, another gallery is shown which displays the the drop-down selections for "Subtopic" & "Subtopic" - this will show values that are associated with the value selected on the "Topic" dropdown.
    Argument & Evidence multiline text fields are also filled out based on the what has been selected from the "Subtopic" & "Subtopic Breakdown" dropdown choices.
  5. This item is saved.
  6. Next the user will select a new topic and do all the above from point 3. onwards.

It would be interesting to find out your views on how this should be displayed, whether it's all on one screen or via next buttons to galleries on different screens - eg. the Subtopic screen would show (via labels) the choice values from the previous screen for "Topic".

Thanks 🙂
