OK - so we've decided to create something clever.
Spent a few hours creating a new process and attributes - another few hours adding 50 odd lines of calculations.
Some clever copy rules and windows rules.
All done in 1 day!
Moving on....
THREE days later and we are STILL trying to get the fields on the windows to line up nicely!
Our trickiest one has some 30 odd fields, of varying types, compounded by dynamic rules, and we will probably have to end up reverting to one field per line... <sigh>
You cannot begin to understand the frustration we have that so many years after first reporting that the grid methodology employed by LANDesk is not working for us; we are still suffering.
All of our other apps' form/window design only takes a few seconds, honestly, and absolute positioning works really well (Sharepoint/CRM Systems/.Net Apps).
Explaining to your manager why, after a solid days' work the window still has fields running off the screen to the right and all the left hand indents non-aligned is not easy.
PLEASE can we have the ability for webdesk to show the fields where we place them. And yes, I know there are ERs for this - there have been for many years...
Now back to endlessly moving fields around, changing label texts, re-sizing, saving, refreshing, trying again... in the vague hope that I randomly strike lucky...
