Associated Items Column brings repeating sections to Office 365

Hi,

Good news! The app version of our essential Associated Tasks Field is now available in the Office Store. Called Infowise Associated Items Column, this amazing tool allows you to create and manage relationships between your lists and document libraries. Think creating repeating sections, e.g. invoices, purchase orders, subtasks and much more. With relationships, you can easily create real life business application right inside your SharePoint.

You add, view and manage related items (stored in a separate list or document library) right inside the New/Display/Edit form of the parent item or document, making relationships seamless and effortless. But that's not all, you can also see the related items directly from the parent list view, giving you drill-down capability. You also have sorting, paging and view switching inside the embedded associated items, along with the full context menu.

But the real good news are still to come. Associated Items column comes with a companion column type, Associated Items Summary column. This column can automatically summarize items in the assigned Associated Items column, such as counting the number of item or calculating a total of a number or currency column. It's done completely automatically, with no need of manually updating. You can even summarize just some of the related items, those passing your conditions. For instance, counting just the number of open tasks assigned to the project, then you can have validation rules and/or alerts based on that value (for instance, prevent closing a support ticket that still have open tasks).

As you can see, Associated Items Column is an invaluable addition to your Office 365 toolbox and will help you take real advantage of this great platform!
