Design Question

[Leon13]

Greetings,

I am trying to design an intake process and need some guidance please.

If a user requests 5 Virtual Machines to be built, with the exact same specs, I would like to present the user with a drop down menu.
The user can then select "5"; however, in the database, the system needs to create 5 separate entries due to the fact that at the backend, each VM will have a unique UUID, IP Address etc.

I do not want to force the user to complete the same form five times.

Thank you in advance!

Hi @Leon13,

Are you going to save it in the same table? What I can recommend is to use a separate Table that will contain duplicate records. With your workflow, we are going to use the new feature of Caspio in Triggered Actions. 

With the recent release, Loops and Variables is now available in Triggered Actions and Tasks. I have here a sample Triggered Action that will insert identical records based on how many quantity a user entered. 

 

Hope this helps!
