I haven't actually used Webform in ages (I did one simple form in D5 once). This is the kind of thing I would do with a relatively simple module that I could code in a few hours. Maybe someone else has a better idea. Nancy Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -- Dr. Martin L.

I was able to add fields like name, date, work etc using webform module. Now the next step, is how do I add view at the start of the page. And also how do I add buttons like "Add", "Delete", "Modify" buttons at the bottom of page. Regards Austin.

Hi All I am quite new to Drupal, and trying hard to learn Drupal. My apologize to all, if I am asking a silly question here.
I want to implement a dynamic web page for employee work report track purpose using Drupal.
1) At the top of page I want a view (in table format), that will show existing records added. 2) At the center of page I want individual fields where we will enter data for records 3) At the bottom of page I want buttons to add/modify/delete records.
Please see the attached word document, what I am trying to make.
So individual users can enter data for records and using "add" button I should be able to add the records. With every add/modify/delete operation records shoud be updated in database. Next time user logs in should be able to see previously added records.
In Drupal7 what is the best way to do it. Please provide your valuable input earliest.
I have thought of below option. Please correct me if I am heading towards wrong direction.
a. I will have a panel page and using layout manager will create three regions top, center and buttom. b. In top, I will add the view , center will add the individual fields and at buttom will add buttons.
c. I need to explore how to create view, individual text-field/text-areas and buttons and add - If you know it, please let me know.
d. And how do I include the database specific code such as INSERT, DELETE etc.
Best Regards Austin.
