How can I share data between two forms on different lists

Using a custom content type, I created two lists that I want to share the same data - one is a calendar.  Our employees complete a form from the "Out of Office Request" list that has workflow functionality that sends an email to that person's
manager.  If the manager approves the request, the item automatically populates the "Out of Office Calendar."  The problem is that the only information from the request list that populates the calendar is the Title field and date/time fields. 
I need the manager name in order to create a view for each manager.  
How can I connect the other information in the request list to the calendar list.  It seems to me that if the title and date fields carry over the information, there should be a way to connect the other information.  I'm using Designer.
I've tried to connect the two lists' webparts with the wizard, but when I get to the page that maps the two lists, there are no column names and the "Next >" button is grayed out.  This seems like the logical place to connect the two lists,
but it isn't working.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted share data between two forms on different lists.
To show external  information on the calendar event, there are two methods: Calculated column, workflow. You can refer to:
A Simple Guide to Show More Information on a Calendar Event
I recommend to use workflow to achieve what you want. But you need to create a people column to display the manager.
You can create a workflow associated to the "Out of Office Request" list, add action to Start Approve Process. If the manager approves the request, you can create a item in the calendar, and then update the people column and the title column.
Then the calendar will display the Title, date/time and the manager.
To create a view for each manager, you need to modify the Filter. You can use the people column is equal to the manager name or the Title contains the manager name.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best Regards,

  • How can I share data between WinXP Pro and Mac OS 10.8.3 via wifi

    How can I share data between WinXP Pro and Mac OS 10.8.3 via home wifi.

    Or is there a problem with both OS's writing stuff to the
    ~/Home/Library folder that may be incompatible?
    Yes, big time.  Mail, for sure, has a different file/folder structure, and would not be happy.
    Plus, a number of apps (Apple and 3rd-party) are "Sandboxed."  That's a security feature, to prevent malware or bad coding from affecting things it shouldn't.  Some of their files, including the preferences files, aren't even stored in the same places!
    Or to other places I'm not aware of?
    Probably.  If you have two versions of the same app, they may or may not expect the same data setup.
    To have one User folder for both OS's would save a lot of drive space
    Not if you use some or all of woodmeister50's suggestions. 
    But I'm also not sure how I'd use Time machine with such a set up.
    Just as you do now.  By default, Time Machine backs-up everything (except things like system work files, most caches and logs, trash) for all users and all internal drives & partitions.  By default, it excludes external drives.
    You can change those defaults, of course, via TM Preferences > Options.
    See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #32 for details and considerations of multiple drives.
    Presently I backup with . . . clones to other HD's
    Good.   Yes, clones are different.  You need multiple "tasks" to back up multiple drives/partitions.  But once set up, that shouldn't be a big deal.

  • How can I transfer data between two while loops in parallel

    Hello,
    I have two while loops in parallel and I want to transfer data from the first to the second loop. The problem isthat data are transfered only when the first loop ends. I tried with queue but it doesn't work. How can I do, preferentially without global variable ?
    Thanks.

    I join a very simplified VI's because the real works with PXI, RT, ...
    When you run the "secondVI.vi", no data comes in array from the "firstVI.vi".
    As I said in my first message, I tried with queue too but it doesn't work, because when the terminal go out from the while loop, while loop have to be ended to send data.

  • How can I share music between two computers and two accounts?

    My wife and I each have our own devices. I would like to purchase an album and have it on both accounts so we do not have to buy the same album twice just because we both like it. I have seen many articles on how to achieve this on a single computer but nothing that talks about multiple computers and multiple accounts.
    TIA

    By account I take it you mean computer account, not iTunes Store account.  You can't currently share items between multiple store accounts though you can share it between computer accounts.  Also read about changes in forthcoming iOS8.

  • How can I share files between two users? or merge the user accounts

    my laptop came home from the shop with two user accounts -never noticed that before - and some files are in one user account, some in another. I want to share them so I can just use one account. I just upgraded to Lion, so that may be an issue. Best of all would be to merge the two accounts so I don't have to think about it- just like 2 weeks ago. As it is, I have to log into one account to use Quicken, and another to use iWork - else I cannot access the files

    Move the files to /Users/Shared/ and from there into the other account.

  • How can i merge data between two tables and then insert to another table

    Hi ,
    Could pls help me,
    I have two tables i need to merge this tables for a single column then need to insert the records to a third table
    Ex-
    Suppose emp, dept two tables , merge this two tables for empid then insert that value to emp_dept table.
    I am using oracle 10g.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    too many values comes from the select clause. I stated you have to match the columns from the emp_dept table to the columns in the select. In my example I return all the columns of emp and dept, but I think you have only one empid column, the select for example will give 2, one empid from emp and one empid from dept. So best is to match:
    insert into emp_dept
    (column1,column2,column3,empid)
    select emp.column1, emp.column2, dept.column3, emp.empid
    from   emp, dept
    where emp.empid = dept.empidAbove is an example how you can match, so the number of columns in the insert should match with the number of columns coming from the select.
    But better for us to help you is give your definitions of emp, dept and emp_dept.

  • How do I share files between two Macs on my wireless network?

    I have an iMac G4 and an ibook G3 on a wireless network. I have "file sharing" activated on both computers. (Also Appletalk, which may or may not be a misguided move, but I got the idea from OSX "Help.")
    When I try to get from either computer onto the other, my computer is recognized by name (another alternative is to log on as a "guest"). I'm prompted for a password. None of the passwords I use works. I've tried the administrative passwords for both computers.
    How do I get beyond this hurdle to share files? I've posted elsewhere to no avail. This must be an easy one. How do you share files between two macs on one network?

    Do your accounts on the machines have the same short name? It's an issue I've seen a few names.. one machine with bsmith, the other with bobsmith, but the long names for both being "Bob Smith". The login windows would confuse users because it showed their names, but because the short names didn't match, it wouldn't work.
    The password you should use is the administrative one, so I don't know why you're not having luck.

    how can i share apps between iphones?

    If they are syncing to the same iTunes library you can just sync them to the other phone using iTunes.  (However, if the other phone has been syncing to a different computer/iTunes library don't do this or you will create problems as iTunes will delete all iTunes media off the phone and replace it with the media in the new library when you sync.)
