   		Single_Line	Model	Model
   		Number	Identification Number	Identification_Number
   		Subform Single Line Single Line	Defects Defective Part Remarks	Defects Defective_Part Remarks

Note: The 'Defects' field must be added in the quick view and detailed view layouts of All Car Inspections report of the Car Inspection form for viewing the inspection details from the report.


2. Navigate to the form properties and rename the 'Submit' button to 'Inspect'.
   
   
3. Create a page named 'Inspection' and drag and drop the 'Car Inspection Extension' listed under the Installed category under the Widgets section in the left pane.
   
   
4. Navigate to the page variables and add the following page variables to include required variables for the extension.
   

   Variable	Data Type
   reportName	TEXT
   recordID	TEXT
   subFormLinkName	TEXT
   damagedPartFieldLinkName	TEXT
   remarksFieldLinkName	TEXT
   redirectURL	TEXT

   
   
   
5. Configure the Page Script by adding the following script to the editor to supply data to the extension's parameters.
   
1. input.reportName = "All_Car_Inspection"; // Report link name of the 'Car Inspection' form's report.
2. input.subFormLinkName = "Defects";  // Field link name of the 'Defects' subform in the 'Car Inspection' form.
   
3. input.damagedPartFieldLinkName = "Defective_Part";  // Field link name of the 'Defective Part' field in the 'Defects' Subform of 'Car Inspection' form.
   
4. input.remarksFieldLinkName = "Remarks"; // Field link name of the 'Remarks' field in the 'Defects' Subform of 'Car Inspection' form.
   
5. input.redirectURL="https://creatorapp.zoho.com" + zoho.appuri + "#Form:Car_Inspection";
6. Create a workflow to execute on the successful submission of the Car Inspection form, then select the Record Event as Created. Name the workflow 'Open Extension' and click Create Workflow. This workflow will open the 'Inspection' page with car inspection extension.
   
   
7. Click Add New Action > Deluge Script and add the following code to the Deluge editor.
   
1. openUrl("#Page:Inspection?recordID="+input.ID, "same window");
8. Create another workflow by selecting the Record Event as Created and Form Event as Field Rules. Name the workflow 'Hide Defects' and click Create Workflow. This workflow will hide the 'Defects' subform, as the values for this subform will be fetched from the extension's input.
   
   
9. Click Add New Action > Hide fields and select 'Defects' Field from the dropdown.
