Input field connected to a button

hjm35055 — Fri, 09 Dec 2016 16:15:05 GMT

So in my application, the one list box I have is 50+ employees. About 10 of these employees are considered "Benchmark employees" I created a button that when clicked, will select these 10 employees. I created this button by manually entering the employees into the search string.

Here is my problem. I need to create an easy way to add or subtract from these benchmark employees in the app without having to go into the button properties. I do not have a benchmark employee load or anything. Im envisioning list of all employees in one column and then in the next column either a checkbox or enter a "Y" to indicate that they are a "benchmark employee". This would then link up to the button.

Anyone know how to do something like this?

Thank you!!!

Setting Flags are good option.

My suggestion you can use Variable to add the benchmark employee.

For insert/Update automation you can create a Table in DB and concatenate the values into a variable and then compare.

Use Bookmarks. When you need to change the benchmark employees simply activate the bookmark. Then change the selection of employees and then Replace the bookmark. You can do that from the Bookmark menu or you can use actions you assign to a button.
