Integration with Lotus Notes 8.5 - Room Reservation System to Add Approval Steps

Avatar

Level 8

I have implemented several LiveCycle Forms with Some Workflow all


based on XML and .NET. All working fine.


Now, I have a new project (yet to be approved) which is to add
Workflow and Approval Steps for Lotus Notes Room Reservation System.

The current system on Lotus Notes, is out-of-the-box from Lotus, and
it is working very well, and it has great repeat option to setup the
required schedule to make the needed room reservation system.

The user now requested to add some new features like add 2 more
approval steps, and some new fields.

I can modify the application in Lotus Notes, but this will creat a new
problem. If there is new version coming for this system from Lotus
Notes, then I will have to sync the modifications I did, and it will
be a problem.

I have put some screen shots to help understand what we are talking
about:

I have developed several programs in the past, I was able to connect
to Lotus Notes Database from .NET.

My plan is to develop the new Form in Adobe LC Desinger, with all the
new required features, and connect to what ever existing functions/
data to Lotus Notes (in both directions).

The only thing I need help for is how to capture the Repeating
Calendar Entry. I think this will take some effort. Becuase, once I
capture all input parameters, I have to call a Web Service (in .NET)
to get a list of Free Rooms to choose from.

Here are my questions:

1. Do you have any feedback on the above ?

2. Any one has done any work to capture a repeating calendar entry in
a PDF Form ?
