Maybe I should provide a little more detail. Here is what I was thinking. But right now, I am not with my developer, so he may have better ideas, along with many of you.
We need to assign a DNN user to have rights to update the information related to School Demographics. We will have lots of school records but we only want to have a single module loaded on a page where all registered users have access. But we only want the registered user to see their school record to update.
So I am using Universal List for our Admin to create the school record by just putting in a school name and assigning a DNN user.
With Universal List, I can create the Reference Field in the school table to hold the DNN User ID that will be assigned. When our Admin creates the School record using Universal List, it should populate the DNN User reference field combobox with all DNN users and allow the Admin to select that user.
Now when the logged in user accesses the custom module page to update the remainder of their school's data, I want our module to filter the school record to only show the one associated with the logged in user's DNN User ID.
I am sure that there are many approaches to this and I would surely like to hear all that may be applicable. Keep in mind that we want to allow the DNN user to access and update and save the data until all 144 fields are complete, which may take several sessions. Once the DNN user is complete, they will Submit the record, at which time it cannot be altered anymore. This is why we are building a custom module, to give us a little more flexibility on Saving and Submitting the data, rather than just allowing he DNN user to directly access the Universal List module to update their data.
Thanks.
