Hello Community,


I have a custom object which has few record types. when i try to create a record on that object in classic salesforce view, i see the following page layout.


Now i want to know how can i replicate it using a skuid page.


So on the tab i have skuid page with list view and looks something like the below screenshot.

When i click the create button, I want to see a skuid page asking me to Choose for the record type (Just like how we see a page coming up in the Classic salesforce view).


How can i accomplish this task?


Thank you.

Hi Avinash,

As far as Skuid is concerned, RecordTypeId is just a field you can add to a model or component. You could add that field to the table, or set up a separate popup for creating new individual records and include the RecordTypeId field in a field editor.

Does that help?

Thanks!
Matt


That means if i have four record types(4 page layouts) with no common field on each layout, then i should have 4 skuid pages and evryone on them should be accessed by a button.

Is this what you mean?
 


That’s one way to do it. You can also conditionally render fields, sections and components based on values in fields (more on that here: http://help.skuid.com/m/supercharge-your-ui/l/601107-conditionally-display-fields).

If you’re wanting to view and create multiple record types from a single screen, I would recommend calling a popup from that button, and in the popup put a wizard component. Wizards let you break up processes into steps; in this case, the first step would be selecting a record type, and then when they user navigates to the second step, it conditionally renders fields or sections based on the record type selected.

Let me know if that helps. Thanks!


Thanks Matt. I Know about these conditional rendering of the fields. I’ll try working with the Wizard component. That might solve my issue.
