Wondering if Chronoforms is right for me

crazyman 02 Oct, 2008
My situation is that I have 12 different partners who all need to report various kinds of information back to me as well as having it be stored inside of a database. The data comes from a short application and survey from over 1000 people over a 10 month period of time.(i know a component like artforms or fabrik is good for that) but the dilemma comes into play where a partner would have to enter 20 people and their data into the website on month 1 then on month 2 have to enter in another 10 people. Taking into consideration human error or laziness, this person didn't know if they had entered all 20 names from the previous month because they cannot see the database or the old information, this would cause duplicate data. another problem that I'm not sure Chronoforms can handle would be to have a seperate form for each of my partners feeding into his/her own part of the database. ie. Partner 1 uses Form 1 which submits data to DB1, Partner 2 uses Form 2 which submits to DB2 etc.., and will keep adding to the database everytime information is sent.

Hi crazyman,

so you need a solution to show previous records per user and have one form per user too, the first one can be achieved with ChronoConnectivity, you can list any number of records based on a WHERE statement you add, getting records per some user is very easy.

limiting a form per a specific user is also not hard, 3 lines of code at the top of any form will limit it to any users you want!
