Multiple Browse Form

Unread post by arvind.acharya »

I have installed nuBuilder and have successfully tested it. Enjoying nuBuilder. I have following question.

I want to display multiple browse forms.

First Browse Screen: Details about "Artist" from Artist table

Second Browse Screen: Details about "Album" under that artist(Note: I don't want to use Sub-form).

Third Screen: Details about song under the artist. This can be used as sub form where i can edit song details.

I have three tables created with relation ship.

Sorry, but you can't do this: for 1:n relations nuBuilder require a subform.
if you do not want to use a subform, how would you handle the relationship Artist-Album? Is this a 1:n or n:m relation?

Assuming relation to be 1:n -> Artist-Album and 1:n -> Album-Song, one way I suggest could be:
  • create a form to display Artist table;
  • on Edit Screen of Artist form you can build two tabs: one tab with Artist's details (you need this to insert/edit functions on Artist records) and another tab with a mashed-subform object displaying Album form related to that artist;
  • on Edit Screen of Album forms you can show Album's details and a subform to display songs related to that Album with a lookup object to select/store the Song
Hope this make sense,
Max
