Fact Box / Info Part Linked by Multiple Data Points

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have a query which is pulling the following data points into a grid/listpage.  (Table.Field)

  • CustInvoiceSalesLink.OrderAccount
  • CustInvoiceSalesLink.InvoiceAccount
  • CustInvoiceSalesLink.SalesId
  • CustInvoiceSalesLink.InvoiceId
  • CustInvoiceSalesLink.InvoiceDate
  • CustInvoiceSalesLink.InvoicingName
  • SalesLine.ItemId
  • InventDim.SerialId
  • CustInvoiceSalesLink.CustomerRef
  • CustInvoiceSalesLink.PurchaseOrder

We have a warranty claim system built by our VAR and I'm working on enhancing some of the features.
The fields above will allow our warranty techs to get information faster.  From here I attempted to create a fact box which will display the following from our claim database.  (Unfortunately it was developed as one table and not really normalized.)

  • CustClaim.ClaimNumber
  • CustClaim.ClaimDate
  • CustClaim.ProductNumber
  • CustClaim.Serial
  • CustClaim.ReplaceSerial

Is it possible to have a fact box linked to multiple fields?  I'd like to be able to have the factbox go out using the CustInvoiceSalesLinke.OrderAccount == CustClaim.CustomerAccount (not displayed) and SalesLine.ItemId == CustClaim.ProductNumber

I noticed that you need to have dynalink relations but will that work even if you're using a query for both the main data source and the datasource for the fact box?  That would mean I'd have to put a relation on SalesLine.ItemId <-> CustClaim.ItemId and CustInvoiceSalesLink.OrderAccount <-> CustClaim.OrderAccount


Thank you for your time.
Cheers,

Bob

    Both the main form and the fact box form always use queries, so there is no real question whether "that will work even if you're using a query for both the main data source and the datasource for the fact box".

    And yes, you need a composite relation, nevertheless you should build a relation between two tables, not three.
