I am trying to create a way for users of a Low Code App to see SRM Bookings created by the SRM/DOM/LCA solution I am developing, so they can validate that each SRM Booking is using the correct resources without requiring Cube.
I have created a list object and assigned the URL feed “Bookings”, but this appears to have a very limited dataset:
First, is there a way in LCA to expand the fields available in this URL Feed to include items such as the date, start time, end time, etc?
Is there another type of Feed or Query that could be used to get this detailed Booking information and display it in a LCA?
Is it possible to build a feature within the current LCA available features that would allow a user to select a booking and it would feed another LCA object that would display a list of all the resources assigned to that Booking, and if possible, how would I do it?
Hi Michael,
I would suggest to go with GQI for this since it’s so flexible. However, the ‘native’ bookings data source is still in soft launch, so you’ll have to resort to using an ‘ad hoc data source’. I see we already have some nice examples of these on GitHub (see here).
The above retrieves the booking from the system. You could then use table actions to open a side panel, showing you other information related to your selected booking. This could be another ad hoc data source using the selection as an input.
Note that we aim to release the timeline visualization soon as well which has great synergy with booking data.
It will allow a custom template so you could add buttons to it to show additional details. The current estimate is 10.3.12.
Hi Michael,
I have created multiple Low-Code apps that display booking data.
As an example, this app lists all the “Shared sources”, these are contributing bookings used in multiple other bookings. When a shared source is selected in the top table, the bottom table lists all bookings (orders) that are using the shared source.
An other example is this app that lists all main bookings (orders), when selecting one, it will list all sub-bookings (called services here):
Both of these apps use a custom GQI data source (as the default “Get Bookings” data source can’t retrieve properties, which was required in my case)
Will the timeline visualization include the ability to see the resources associated with a booking, similar to the “Show Resources” option on the SRM Booking Manager Timeline?
What is the ETA for this feature release?
