• WLR Form

    By Cathy Collins 2 decades ago

    I too am struggling in multiple areas, but I guess my main question is this suppose to be used for the web? When I open it for the web there is no Leave Request link. I looked at the desingn outline and it seems to be looking for the form WLR (which is assume is the Web Leave Request form), but there doesn't seem to be one in the module.



    Some of the instances, but not all - On the client side I can't seem to submit a leave reqest because an error states that I do not have an 2005 Annual Leave Allowance document created, even though I do.



    For the countries/sites, I could add my North American sites, but I couldn't get them to show up when I needed to pick a country/site. I finally opened the countries view in design, changed the column field choice, saved it and then changed it back to countrycode2, saved it again and it finally showed the true data. Same thing happened with the Team View.



    I'm just stumbling through understand this module to figure out if it could be useful and my users would ONLY use the web side of it, but it needs to be more user friendly.

    • Web Enabled Vacation Request

      By Gary Cousins 2 decades ago

      Hi Cathy,



      The main database, as it stands, is not meant to be used on the web. Our QA process allowed the WLR (web leave request) form to slip through.



      I am however working on a web enabled version but due to the pressures of work I can't give as much time as I'd like. The web forms require a different design approach mainly because dblookups are much more tricky on the web than through the Notes client.

      The current database's leave period is fixed to years starting on the 1st January and I'd like to get away from this because our annual leave year starts on the 1st may. The current application's validation rules makes changing this period quite difficult.

      I have most the web design elements e.g. javascript date picker, a better looking leave calendar with international public holidays displayed. I'm looking for a nice time picker andfor a way for a team leader to create leave on behalf of a team member, this involves name lookups - I've seen a few web examples which I'm trying out for ease of use.



      The bottom line is that I'm nearly there on the design front but I'm away on holidays again for the first week of August and probably won't be able to look at it until late August/early September.

          Hi,



          Which template are you using, LeavTrkSys22 or WLT23b? The WLT23b works on the web . the other one doesn't work totally.



          Make sure you read and carry out the instructions in the documentation (Using this database in help) and check that you've set the following:



          Signed the template with your server's id and then create the database.

          Set the server in the acl (database)

          Indexed the database



          You'll also get an error if you haven't set up a leave allowance for yourself. Other errors are caused by not setting up your team, your country, your manager/team leaders.

              By Gary Cousins 2 decades ago

              Hi,



              I'll shortly send you a version with error trapping so we can find the errant field. Entry not found in index points to a failed lookup on one of the fields.
