Topic: Visual Database Example Needed: Training Tasks, Progress Bar, and Step

Hi Visual Database Community,

I'm looking for an app template or sample project for a training/work-instruction application.

The ideal solution would include:

Step-by-step training tasks
Progress bar/completion tracking
Task checkboxes
Images for each training step and task
Training completion confirmation or certificate/export

I have already created a basic HTML prototype with progress tracking and task images, but I would like to see how others have implemented something similar in Visual Database.

Does anyone have an example application, template, they would be willing to share?

Thank you!

Hi,
Not exactly sure what you have in mind.
Can you attach a project or some screen shots of what you've got so far (data schema, process flow etc) and maybe someone will have already done something similar that they can share or give you some ideas.
Derek.

Hi,
There are different approaches that you could take depending on whether you want something that is quite generic and can be applied to many situations or whether you want something very specific which would suit one particular work-instruction scenario but no others.
As a suggestion, I've knocked up a program that is more general-purpose which you might be able to alter to suit your needs.  It works on a pretty standard 3-stage principle - 1.  overall job details,  2.  'steps' details (using your terminology) and 3.  'tasks' details (using your terminology). 
Basically, create a job.  Then, having highlighted the 'job' in tablegrid1, you can maintain 'steps' in tablegrid2 and, having highlighted a 'step', you can then maintain 'tasks' in tablegrid3.
Sample 'steps' and 'tasks' are held in configuration tables and can be used in discrete jobs as required.
I've not bothered with things like images, progesss counters etc which, if required, can come later.  But firstly it's important to get the basics working.
Also, I've used dates instead of 'check boxes' as it gives you more information (ie not only has a 'task', 'step' or 'job' been done, but you can also see the date on which is was done).
But if your requirement is more specific and doesn't need to be more of a work-instruction 'template', then if you can provide more information about the business process flow from start to finish, I'm sure someone would be able to advise.
Regards,
Derek.

Hi Derek,

Thank you for taking the time to put this together and for the detailed explanation. The 3-stage structure (Job → Steps → Tasks) looks like a solid and flexible approach, and I agree that focusing on the basic functionality first is the right way to proceed. I also like the idea of using completion dates instead of checkboxes, as it provides better traceability.

Thanks again for sharing your work and suggestions.

Regards,
Cornel

Hi,

Derek's basic example was used.
I hope this example is interesting as an idea or as an implementation of the capabilities of various components.
