Fetching data from previous values

Question

Hi All,

I'm trying to make a simple "shift handover" tool in sharepoint 2007. i have create a new calender list & shift wise entries under each date. so far this works well. now, the tricky part is i want to fetch certain data from prevoius entry & dispaly a "completed" check box or yes / no radio button ahead of it. For eg. if i put in Ticket 1234 in a particular (follow up) field on 4th of march then it should prompt me with the same ticket number while making entry on 5th of march & so on unleass i mark it completed. can anyone let me know what would be the best approch for this?

Hi,

You can do it with custom webpart.

thx for reply,

so u mean to say i need to script the logic in JS or VBS & insert that into SP ?

i'm fairly new to SP & do not have any coding experience, it would really help if you would elloberate 

Answer 3

This can be acheived using jQuery.

Please refer this post:

You need to modify your page, add a content editor web part which includes your jquery. Only make sure you add the proper filters, so that only relevant items appear.
