Re: Class Element Request
Why would you want to remove that? If you remove the edit toggle using code how are you then going to get back into the code to make changes in the future?…

Re: Ninox 3.13 available
Is it just me or has the date format changed from DD/MM/YYYY to MM/DD/YYYY?

Re: ninoxLocales.AggregationName is not a function
I have narrowed the issue down to the "do as server" command so it looks like an issue with the Ninox servers. Hopefully Ninox will sort it.

I have the same error this morning. Nothing has changed. Must be a Ninox issue.

Re: Getting number from table
@Roger Buckley I don't think there is a way of manipulating a table name. But why not just still simply have a field in each table called "Unit Number"? Fill it with the number of the table,…

Re: Getting number from table
@Roger Buckley Hi Roger. Ok. So you have 70 rental units. And presumably each unit will have similar fields - Size, Colour, Date Arrived, etc. You have created a separate table for each Unit.…

Re: Getting number from table
So. You have 3 tables. What fields do you have? What are you trying to achieve with those fields? We need more information to go on.

Re: Is it possible to split the Location field to several address formula fields in Ninox?
@Jan Inge Iversen Split the line that contains the city and code using a space. Assuming it is always the same line. If it's not always the same line then you can't unless you split every line and…

Re: Switch with multiple for loops and consequents new records
@Gianluca Yes. The idea of my example is first you create the names. Then you create a Contract from either the Name record (which automatically links a new Contract to the Name record) or from a new…

Re: Is it possible to split the Location field to several address formula fields in Ninox?
Yes. This should put you on the right track. You just need to split the Location field into an array. To show how this works create a formula field and expand it over several lines.…

Re: Switch with multiple for loops and consequents new records
@Gianluca Sure. You just need a sub-table.. see revised database attached. With all of this you cannot create records where "endDate is today" because "today" is constantly changing.

Re: Switch with multiple for loops and consequents new records
@Gianluca No problem. You don't need to worry about the "do as server" and having 2 buttons. Ninox will handle it automatically.

Re: Switch with multiple for loops and consequents new records

On a Tab you have "Trigger before view" and "Trigger after hide" scripts that allow you to do certain things before and after a tab is shown. You could use this to control if a user has to start on a…
