Webcast Wednesday Contest # 7

[Webcast_Wednesday_India]

Question) Design a VI that behaves like a interface (see attachment 1) for filling up an application form to apply for a job against a vacancy at a company.

The interface should allow user to enter his details and submit the application form which would be saved to a text file in a folder on the local machine with the file name same as the name of the applicant. Multiple entries with same name should be numbered. The VI should be capable of sorting the forms according to The position applied for and should save the form in an appropriate folder under a root folder.

One example of such directory structure has been given below.

Also the VI should check if an entry with same Name and same Email ID exists and should prevent the user from creating a repetitive entry. Make sure that the data has proper alignment in the file (see attachment 2). The number of parameters can be kept according to your wish. Name, Address, Date of birth, Email ID, Position applying for, previous work experience should be present. The files should be saved to User Documents directory on the system.

Hi Arjun.M.G,

                  The VI looks there are many new things I learned from it. I tried your VI, If I don update all the parameter  it is saving the data, Lets assume some important data are manditory for application purpose.

You and myself can used an Simple Error handler after closing the text file.

Your GUI Looks Great ...

All the best for your results.

                          There are quite nice things to observe from your vi, GUI, VI ICon Editing, Using Error in and Out.

Since I`m missing some .ctl and some other files I couldn`t run the file.

I`ve a question for you, the DOB which you have used is an reference may I know how you frammed it.

labeling of wires are great and it might have been aligned for better view.

All the best for your result.

Hello,

Please find the attached .zip file. Unzip it, open Main_File.vi and run the program. Before running, make sure you specify your User Documents directory in the block diagram of App_Form.vi. I have included my PC's User Documents directoy: C:\Users\Ajay\Documents. Change the User Name to your PC's UserName, or change the entire path, according to ypur requirement.

In my program, I have tried to fulfil all the requirements, and made the VI as user-friendly as possible.

Please go through it, and give suggestions.

Feedbacks are welcomed.

Regards,

Ajay Maity

P.S. Only running Main_File.vi is sufficient. All the remaining files are SUBVIs.
