Preact's Drag & Drop Sub-Grids is a really simple solution for anyone that needs to reorder a set of records on a sub-grid from a child entity.
So in this scenario we're on an account form, and we've got the child tasks that need to be carried out on a sub-grid. We've got this sequence value here in the first column and it's one through to five.
This can be enabled on any entity, it doesn't have to just be on the accounts, it can be on any custom entities.
We can set this sequence field to be any whole number field you might already be using or we can put one of these values in as part of the solution.
In this scenario we've got five things we need to carry out and it might be that we need to reorder these around for some reason. I might say okay, I need to set up the SharePoints before I can put my document somewhere. So instead of doing the document and then setting up the folders, I might want to do this first. So, I can just click on where the number two here is in the sequence, and I can put the number two above the number one. Then you can see it will move set up SharePoint folders above produce statement of work
And it will set the integer value accordingly: one, two, three, four, five.
Vice versa - I might say I need to do the draw out project chart before the write up and so I can put the four between the two and the three, and then it changes that to a three and that to a four.
Equally another option we might use this for is on a work order. If I just click over here and click into one of my work orders.
From Field Service point of view, you have a work order, which is your job sheet and you've got a set of tasks you need to carry out. Out-of-the-box we've got a nice line order here, and I've added in my own task order field here.
A very similar concept - you might arrive on site and realise that you can't do the photos because you need to do your risk assessment first. So this scenario we can just do something very similar. If I change it, you can see it reorders this around.
Hopefully that will be quite useful for some of you guys, thanks for listening.
