Ok I've been having my share of fun setting this up, here is what I have so far. If I could borrow your time for another minute just to let me know if I am missing anything.
I created a hidden field in my form called 'approved' set it to default 'no'.
I Mapped that field in FT to approved, with radio box set. Group allows for yes and no options.
The default Client 'view' is filtered to only show approved = no.
The secondary view is filtered to only show approved = yes (for us mainly or for him if he wants to review later).
This seems to be working out technically, but I have a few thoughts/questions.
1. Is there any way to have the approve "yes/no" option editable from the main submission view, or do we have to click 'edit' for each entry to change the status from no to yes.
2. I installed the mass edit module. Unfortunately it shows up tiny. Full screen works but.... *** Brain Fart here trying something *** Damn that only sort of worked.
I edited the clients menu options and created a custom URL page of "http://mydomain.com/samplereq/modules/mass_edit/fullscreen.php" and called it "Approval" That view is very nice for what I need to do. Unfortunately if I login and click on that menu directly after logging in I get permission and/or table not found errors. If I login as the client and goto the view submissions page (click view) and then click on the custom approval page in the menu it works and shows me the beautifully simple mass edit page already in full screen.
So I know it's not too much to ask for the client to click 'view' before they then go to the menu and click 'Approve', taking them to the mass edit page. I just don't want to hear the complaining when they see a scary error message when they click on the approval page first. Or don't want to explain why they can't just go straight to the approval (mass edit) page from the beginning.
Anyone have any thoughts or am I overcomplicating things?
