Hello All,
I am building an app that will allow Administrators to track sick day occurrences of employees. Within the same Object, I need to be able to look back (compare, refer) to a field in the most recent work day record to see if that employee worked or was sick. The field I would look back to is a Yes/No field. Is this possible in KNACK?
Anything is possible but the fact you only want a recent occurence recorded probably means you will need to automate some process to clean out prior event recording.
I would think maybe it would be better to save the event to an external connected file using the employeeID and storing the date of the non-attendance triggered by indicating the person absence.
That would create a file of only the “no events” minimizing the number of entries over time, but eventually you would need to select all those that are “before a date and delete those records.”
I would then add some text formulas to the “event file” rather than the employee file so you can see name, id etc etc and then have a grid of non attendances which could be based on a sort of the date. So your only going to see those who did not attend on a given date you nominate.
You can then do a grid which can be filetered to show absent staff on a specific date.
Not sure if it address your needs fully but maybe give you some ideas to work with
I did something very quick (not the full multi file) to show what I am talking about)
