Question

We have an application by which a user can enter the details of an emergency situation. SharePoint would be our first tool of choice except for one critical requirement: As a user fills out a list he/she must be able to keep in view the emergency protocol description, which provides important details to consider when entering data.

Is it possible to customize a SharePoint list such that there is at our disposal a second column to the right of the list of data items to be filled where we can place protocol information so that it remains in view while data is entered?

I have one additional question. Each emergency situation is visually identified by a specific color. Is it possible to incorporate an image into a list template to provide color identification?

Was it helpful?

Solution

This is definitely possible if you are able to use SharePoint Designer. You would just customize your NewItem forms to what your requirements are. You can even make them dynamic by using some SPServices magic.

Are you allowed to use SharePoint Designer?
