Foster Family Information update - Requirement Clarification

[Poovarasan27]

Can Anyone explain the below requirement clearly ? @

1. I have created a screen with gallery showing the 'ready to foster' animals , filtering accordingly ?

2.  For each of those item, when I click 'foster me' button ? what should happen

" Ability to select an animal, enter foster family information and update the status to "claimed
for foster“ on click of a button and the family that the animal is associated with "

Hey there,

I believe the images below should help you understand better. In my app I created two screens. The family foster screen helps me get the family details and then I am using a Patch function in my button's OnSelect property to add those records to my Foster Family Table. And then in my Pet Foster Screen I have a drop down where I select Claimed for Foster as well as the foster family information that way I can search for my own record I created in the last form and append it. I am also still using a patch function on this screen as well so that it assigns everything to the appropriate family. The picture of the animal on the left was already selected from my gallery so that is the animal I chose to foster.

Hope this helps 🙂

@Oyin - Really appreciate your help and response. You are inspiring me to do this challenge in a better way. Kudos to you. 

Can you please share me the screenshot of your homepage ? How do the foster family navigate to the register foster family screen and Pet confirmation page in your app ?

@Poovarasan27 For some reason I am not able to see Oyin's comments

@ZeeScience  - can you let me know the logic on how to achieve this requirement ?

"Ability to select an animal, enter foster family information and update the status to "claimed
for foster“ on click of a button and the family that the animal is associated with"

I did that by actually changing the drop down to claimed to foster and then the OnSelect property of my button does all the patching that changes everything

Hello Guys, we assume that ever is a new family that claims the animal?

Hi @Poovarasan27,

My approach is a Foster Family Portal that assumes the foster family have already been registered via the Model-driven app. A foster family enters the portal and selects an animal to foster based on a shelter location and the status of the animal being "Ready for Foster".

Loading Screen

Animals Ready for Foster Screen

When the user loads into the Animals Ready for Foster Screen, the gallery is already filtering on "Ready for Foster" and the "Shelter Name" which is controlled by the tabs under the header.

Because I have made the assumption that the foster family is already known and this is a portal for foster families to claim an animal, I am taking away a lot of the user input.

The only things a foster family need to do within my app is select an animal and find their name in a dropdown box.

This is all happening on a single screen. When the foster family clicks submit, the animal is updated with the related foster family and the status is updated to "Claimed for Foster".

I am using this formula in my forms OnSuccess property.

Patch(
    Animals,
    LookUp(Animals,
    cr0f4_animalsid = Form2.LastSubmit.Animals),
    {
        'Shelter Status': 'Shelter Status (Animals)'.'Claimed for Foster',
        'Date Claimed for Foster': DateValue1.SelectedDate
    }
);
Notify("Form submitted successfully",NotificationType.Success)

The OnSelect of my submit button is set to SubmitForm(Form2)

Not sure if this will answer your questions but at least give you an idea on other ways to approach your solution.

Lovely UI

Thanks @Oyin. I used the inbuilt screen templates and a custom modern theme. The templates make it so much easier to structure the UI.
