Hello!!
I’ve been tasked with creating a Job Scheduling Dashboard in App Studio that allows users to schedule operations for a job and includes some functionality our scheduler normally has to switch apps to access (such as running certain reports and looking at information about the operations).
I believe I would know how to implement the additional functionality, but I am having trouble determining how I can enable the user to schedule jobs.
To start, I was thinking of having a UBAQ where the user could update the start and due date for an operation, but that didn’t work because those fields aren’t directly maintainable. So I’ve started looking into trying to see how I could possibly call on the Scheduling Engine, and I have three possibilities I’m going to try:
- Call the Scheduling Engine through the rest-erp widget in App Studio
- Call the Scheduling Engine through an Epicor Function
- Add any additional functionality to the existing job scheduling board
The reason why I haven’t skipped to the last point right away is because the end goal is because the scheduler would like a grid interface, and hopefully an easier way to reschedule.
What do you think might be the best route? I’m not very confident in scheduling or that any of these work, so any other ideas are welcomed!
