How it Works?
Scenario: On the NEW PROBLEM RECORD page, the custom field (Location) should display the values in the Location drop-down based on the domain of the selected TENANT.
Let's consider there are two Domains (Domain A and Domain B) and two Tenants (Information Technology and Human Resources).
Consider User Information Technology belongs to Domain A.
Consider User Human Resource belongs to Domain B.
Domain | Tenant |
---|---|
Domain A | Information Technology |
Domain B | Human Resources |
Also, consider a Common Master Type (Ex: Location) configured by selecting Specific to Domain? checkbox.
In this case, perform the following steps:
Step 1: The Administrator configures the domain-specific Common Master Values for Domain A and Domain B as shown in the below table (Refer above screenshots).
Domain | Location Values |
---|---|
Domain A | Austin |
New York | |
Washington | |
Domain B | Dallas |
Houston | |
Los Angeles |
Step 2: Configure Custom fields For Problem Management to use Common Master Types as data source.
In the Problem Management module for Drop-down, MV Drop-down, and Radio Button controls, the user can use the Common Master as a data source.
Add a new Custom field (Label Name: Location) using drop-down control and use Common Master as a data source. For more information, see Configuring Custom Fields for Problem Management.
Step-3: Create a Problem Record
To create new Problem Records:
- Select Problem > User > New Problem Record. The NEW PROBLEM RECORD page is displayed.
- On the NEW PROBLEM RECORD page, select Tenant as Information Technology, the Location drop-down displays the values based on the Tenant's domain.
