Initial Requirements:
-One Table containing the records for the data. Inside the table, you’ll need at least one unique field, and two Date/Time fields for your Start date and End date. (Screenshot: )
-Three Deployed DataPages: 1 Submission form, 1 Single Update Record, 1 Reports Form.
DataPage configuration steps:
1. From the Submission Form DataPage, select the Start Date Date/Time fields from your available fields. Make sure to check the ‘On exit, pass ID and formula fields as parameters for us to get the duration time possible. ( )
2. From the Configure fields, set the form element of the Start Date to TimeStamp. ( )
3. From the Destination Options, select ‘Go to a DataPage’ as the destination after record submit. Select the Single record update DataPage as the destination of the submission form and click finish.
4. From the Single Record Update DataPage, go to the Record Identification and select the record with the unique field. Set the parameter name as [@insertRecord + field name + ]. ( )
5. Similar with the configurations of the submission form, retrieve the End Date Date/Time field and set the form element to TimeStamp as well.
6. From the Destination Options, select ‘Go to a DataPage’ as the destination after record update. Now, select the reports DataPage as the destination of the Single Record Update DataPage and click finish.
7. Configuring your tabular Reports DataPage, configure the filtering fields and receive the unique field as the DataPage element and receive the value or parameter on load. ( )
8. From the Configure results page fields, add a calculated field with the following formula: DateDiff (ss, [@field:StartDate], [@field:EndDate]) . Change the StartDate and EndDate to the name of your actual field. The formula gets the seconds between the two dates before submission and after the update form was created (Get more at https://howto.caspio.com/function-reference/). Verify if the formula will work and if valid, click finish and test the DataPage.
9. Deploy all the three DataPages and start submitting the record from the submission form.
