Sharepoint: Update an item when an item is added in another list -


so had make sharepoint site inventorize our servers. have 2 types of lists (replicated few times per group, this, consider 2 lists), 1 lists servers , has column 'nics' lookup on other list, lists nics.

the nics list has column 'server' lookup serverlist. server can have multiple nics, nic can assigned 1 server. suppose setting niclists 'server'-column unique covers aspect?

say have items in nic-list, 'nic1', 'nic2', 'nic3'. if add serveritem serverlist , add 'nic1' , 'nic2' nic-lookupcolumn, how can have sharepoint automatically add new serveritem 'nic1' , 'nic2''s server-lookupcolumn?

i have investigated workflows, haven't found way via sharepoint itself. solutions find suggest coding in asp.net, have no experience it.

(on separate note, how remove server-column form new nic-item?)

you can use sharepoint workflows one. need have sharepoint designer. there specific action called update list item allows update list using workflow or create list item create items on different list. need setup lists , workflows using. can follow general rule below:

  • if updating list, make sure child list (or list updating based list's value) has unique reference parent list.

  • use update list item or create list item action when item added in list make sure workflow triggered.

and since lookups typically lists used column on list same principles above apply when creating workflow.
