Auto Generate Organizer field?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

Hi this is my first post in this community but i have read a few discussions before. When an appointment is created with one of our leads one field of information we have is the organizer. At the moment our Client manager has to go in and double check on each appointment that has been created that our organizer field has been set correctly by the assistant client to either Gold Coast calendar or Sydney calender which are dedicated user accounts to manage the appointments on the calendar.

My question is, is there any way so that when an assistant client creates an appointment that it auto generates the field organizer depending on the condition 'if office=gold coast then organizer=gold coast calendar' and 'if office=sydney then organizer=sydney calendar'. If this is possible to make then i can just lock the field and then the Client manager doesn't have to worry about checking this for  every appointment that is created and save a lot of his time.

    You could create workflow rule that fires on an onchange event of the office field and then do an if then condition in the workflow rule to set the correct organizer. After you test and confirm correct operation of the workflow you can then make the field organizer field read only.

    Alternatively, you could do this with jscript but the workflow process can be done without any coding.

    I'm a bit confused on these steps, I know it may seam really simple for you but i haven't worked much with workflows. I did have a go at trying to create a workflow in both the opportunity and appointment except i couldn't find the field organizer in either of processes for making the workflow. Could you help with details on the steps a bit more or do you need some screen shots of what i was talking about?

    Alright I know only 1 person has posted in this thread but if any one else runs into the same issue ill just say that I created a process under the appointment as the main entity and created 2 different stages and made for each to check the condition of the office and then to update the record in the organizer field. I found to make this apply just to change it to organization.
