Forms

["Gabrielle C. Nguyen" <ga...@gabriellenguyen.com>]

Hello, 


I am looking to create a form that work in the following manner: 


Users input data into form 
Form is emailed to managers 
Form d ata is written to the database 
Forms can be easily revised and modified later 


I want to integrate this with ofbiz, and was wondering whether there is any preexisting feature in ofbiz14 (possibly in webtools?) that would allow me to accomplish this. 




Thank You, 


-Gabrielle

Hi Gabrielle, 

Your request sounds reasonably simple to accomplish in OFBiz. I would suggest you do the following: 

- you define the entity (database table) holding the data you want 
- you design your form (depending on complexity) using widgets, you can automatically include all fields defined in the entity definition. 
- you define the service that will persist your form to the database. You don't even need to implement it if there is no custom logic. 
- you create an ECA to fireup an email to managers. 

I am not sure how familiar are you with OFBiz so I'm keeping it brief. Everything I mentioned above has countless examples in the code base of the framework.
