I am trying to set up a global search where the user can search by invoice number and it shows the invoice AND related order with OOB solutions.
EDIT
Version: 2015
Unsure of when installed but was updated recently
Global Search works on top of Quick Find view & Find columns specified in particular entities. The searchable entities & its display order can be configured in System settings.
In your scenario, Add the entities Order & Invoice to searchable entities list (move it to top). Then setup the QF view display columns & Find columns (Invoice number) in view of both entities.

Update:
Order can have multiple Invoices associated (Invoice subgrid). Hence Order is a lookup on Invoice. This will make easy to QF with 'Order number' in both entity by 'Order number' field (text in Order, Lookup in Invoice).
But you need to QF 'Invoice number', which is available in Invoice only. You may need to store all the Invoice numbers in a custom field (comma separated) & use it for QF in Order entity.

I have a list of opportunity product lines associated to opportunities that I want to pass to a field within the opportunity table so users can see this within the opportunity table view. The products in the opportunity lines are Number of learners. For projecting onboarding numbers for the month I want to add one field to my opportunity entity.
Total number of learners
This field would be populated by the total quantity of all "learners" products in the opportunity product lines.
I have tried a roll up field, but I can't seem to get it to sum up the quantity of products to appear within the new field created in the opportunity entity.
What features of Dynamics CRM could help me achieve this? MS workflow?
Rollup
Product Line
Rollup field on Form
rollup field should solve your req.
If that does not solve your problem, Then you can create Power autome/ cloud flow.
If not you can create Plugin
If not Javascript.
But my best bet or choice would be rollup and then cloud flow.
I am creating free accounting package in libreoffice-base to compete already available ones your contribution is appreciated. the package include tables:
items
item_groups
order_details
sales_bill_desc
cash
units
companyinfo
bill sales
Customer_ledger
etc.
and created two forms
first to enter items in items table with following fields:
id
List item
particulars
units from units table linked with id gst chooses from
tax table related as id basic price basic stock, barcode, group,
subgroup,
second form is sales bill entry form
it contains a form which relates to order_details table selects customers name from ledger where its state code is also defined e.g. for punjab its 03 basically it is picked from customer's GSTIN number
a subform which is connected to sales_bill_desc table related to order_details table with bill number in both tables.
now in subform when we enter one item, its name is displayed which is same entered in sales_desc table additionally it also need automatically display item units, gst, price(editable field but basic price must be displayed there).but it does not. how to do that i have studied books but am lacking i created same in access 2016 somewhere which worked fine (full working package accounts with inventory).At this time,I am trying to use same database but advanced with features such as barcode. Of course the issue is to be resolved if someone can help. I am loading code of the package.Please rectify and update.
I have added a field to the Contact entity called Website Downloads. This field is updated every time a client clicks on our website but what I want to do is have a sub grid within the Contact form that shows what this entry is each time it's updated. Then I ideally need this in a view with the contacts name and a list of the downloads so I can do an advanced find on the field. Any ideas please. PS I have tried to add a new entity that links to this field but the problem is you cannot do an OR on an Advanced find for 2 separate entities so back to square one.
Already tried a new entity but this won't work as you cannot do an OR on an Advanced Find for 2 entities.
I think you are on right track. You need a related entity to capture all the website hits, then you need a rollup field on contact record to sum up the hits.
So the associated records can be listed in a subgrid on contact form, also Advanced find queries can be done.
Rollup field can be an OOB field but it has timely job to calculate, if you want immediate rollup result it can be a custom field & plugin to accumulate.
I have a many to many relationship on 2 tables.
table1 - primary key = link_id + other fields
table2 - primary key = category_id + other fields
table3 - primary key = link_id + category_id (no other fields in the table)
I'm just wondering how can I implement this on Apex 3.2.
The 2nd table is just the possible categories that can apply to a link. (e.g. Training, Prevention, Mental health and etc). 1 link can have many categories attached to it.
I'm hoping all the possible categories will appear on the screen as a checkbox and then when I open a link record (e.g. Mental health and training categories are assigned to the record), the corresponding checkbox will be automatically ticked. And of course, the ability to tick/untick checkboxes as I please and save/update the record.
I've looked at examples but I cannot find them.
Thanks
Create a report on your table1 and a form on your table2 and 3. In your report you need to add an edit_link which will set your form with the correct link_id. For your category form items you can set the attribute "Display as" to "Checkbox".
I'm trying to build a FileMaker Pro 11 layout that excludes records containing a certain value. The relevant data is in table Invoice. I want to filter so that Invoice records whose "Invoice Check Grouping" field is blank are not displayed on the layout.
I've added a global field to the invoice table called "Blank Invoice Check Grouping" to use as my filter criteria. I've created a self-join relationship to the Invoice table, joining "Invoice ID" to "Invoice ID" and joining "Invoice Check Grouping" to "Blank Invoice Check Grouping". The resulting table is named "Invoice Check Groupings".
The layout which I build based on table "Invoice Check Groupings" shows all records in Invoice--it does not filter out those with blank values. What am I doing incorrectly?
Thanks,
Ben
Layouts show records in a table (or more accurately, a table occurrence) and don't directly deal with related data. As mentioned by #pft221, you can use relationships for filtering, but only when viewing data through a portal.
If you always want a particular layout to show data based on a particular find, you can do so with a script and a script trigger. First set up a script to do the following:
Enter Find Mode[]
Set Field["Invoice Check Grouping"; "*" // Find all records with any data in this field
Perform Find[]
Note that you can also embed the find request within the Perform Find script step, but I tend to script finds in the above manner as it's easier to see what the find request is in the script and variables can be used in the find request.
Now you need to set your layout to execute this script whenever it's loaded. Go to the layout and enter Layout Mode. Select Layouts>Layout Setup from the menu bar. Click the Script Triggers tab and check the box for OnLayoutEnter and select the script you wrote above. Now whenever the layout is entered, that script will run and exclude the records that have that particular field being empty.
There are many ways to filter records, depending on what you are trying to do and what you are trying to display for your users.
The most common and simple way you can filter records is through a simple Find in a list view. I'm unclear from your question, but my best guess is that you're already using a list view and misunderstanding how FileMaker's relationships and Table Occurrences (TO's) work.
To Filter with the "Find Records" method:
Create a new List View layout of any Table Occurrence of your Invoice Table -- most likely you will want to use the default Table Occurrence that FileMaker created for you when you created the table.
Place the fields that you would like to display on that layout, including the "Invoice Check Grouping" field.
Switch into Find Mode
Put a '*' character into the "Invoice Check Grouping" field
Perform the Find
You should now see a list of all Invoices where the "Invoice Check Grouping" field is not blank. (You can find additional interesting search criteria in the "Insert: Operators" drop down of the title bar.)
Now you may actually be looking to filter related records through a portal but, given that you've set up a self-join on the Invoice index on the Invoice table my guess is that, at best, this would show either 0 or 1 record for each Invoice record you display in your main layout.
To Filter Records with the "Portal Filter" method:
Let's assume, though, that you have a Client table where you'd like to see only the records with a non-blank "Invoice Check Grouping" value. The table set-up would be as follows:
Client
Client ID
[... other client info ...]
Invoice
Invoice ID
Client ID
Invoice Check Grouping
[... other invoice info ...]
With a relationship in the relationships graph:
Client::Client ID ------< Invoice::Client ID
From there you would set up a Form layout on the Client TO and create a portal showing records from the Invoice TO. From the options for the portal you would select "Filter Portal Records" and use a formula similar to:
not IsEmpty(Invoice::Invoice Check Grouping)
Finally, it's worth noting that a portal filter isn't appropriate for all display situations or calculations. You can set up a similar filter completely through your relationships graph (as I believe you have already tried to do.) This will work, once again, for viewing records through a portal but not for the records displayed by a layout itself.
The answers above don't actually help Ben with his question. They are workarounds.
I have the same problem as Ben, and I don't think there is a solution, even now in Filemaker 12. There is I think no way to define a relationship that will omit the related records where the match fields are empty.
Two options come to mind:
On a specific layout, you have more fine-grained control in the portal definition itself, and can use this to exclude the records
You can now use SQL queries to achieve this result within Filemkaer.
