Re: Parent Child Relationship via one table
Hi Mike Thank you for responding. Essentially when there is a N in the Has Parent it really is a Parent Customer. Table Customer Has Parent Related Parent Name Vito Deli N Subway Hartford CT Y Subway Master Company Subway Master Company N Thus on the customer form. I have a text field which lookup of the customer table. The problem I am facing is that I have not been able to figure out how to limit that text field lookup to only pull those records where Has Parent is N. I need this or the users will be choosing Children as the Parent. I am trying to keep the user from having to enter Vitos Deli and all the information into the a parent table and a child table to keep the relationship valid. I could just have them do this but it will be an issue. ------------------------------ michael malchiodi ------------------------------14Views0likes0CommentsParent Child Relationship via one table
Hello I am rather new to Quickbase. I anticipate developing a table where users enter our customer company information into. I plan on having a field to designate if the customer company is a parent or a child company. This will be a True False field. True indicates a child company and False indicates a parent company. To designate what parent/company the child/company rolls up to I am thinking of a drop down field which pulls the distinct values of this table (where the roll up designation is false(Parents)) Thus I plan on using one table for parent and the child and designate between parent and child by this field. Reason for not using classic parent child relationship(two tables) If I use the classic parent child relationship I would have two tables and in most cases the parent information would be exactly the same as the child. Fully 95% of our customers do not rollup into another company. I am thinking in this situation the users would have to create a parent company for every child when they are exactly the same in order for this to work(duplicating the data entry). Is there a better way to do this? In addition I am trying to avoid pipeline logic. ------------------------------ michael malchiodi ------------------------------10Views0likes2Comments
