The DriveWorks Challenge is designed to help you develop your DriveWorks skills. Each challenge focuses on a different aspect of DriveWorks technology and encourages you to show off your DriveWorks skills.
The idea is simple, we provide you with a challenge brief, and all you need to do is come up with a solution that meets the requirements in the brief. The challenge is designed to be relatively quick (we certainly don’t want to make more work for you!) and to help you explore new ways of thinking and working within DriveWorks.
You will have plenty of time to complete the current challenge as the closing date is February 28th. There’s no pressure and you can put as much or as little effort into it as you see appropriate. At the end of the challenge, we’ll post a video and DriveWorks Package (.drivepkg) in the DriveWorks Learning Portal showing how we solved the challenge, along with some of our favorite submissions. We also provide personalized feedback for each submission.

DriveWorks Challenge 8: Data tables
DriveWorks technology is interactive, enabling you to customize data tables to suit user needs.
Challenge 8 presents you with a complicated data table, used by a manufacturer to show all the activity on their shop floor.
Your challenge is to fix the table so users can easily answer these 3 questions:
- When is the selected order going to be made?
- What is being made on the shop floor on the selected date?
- How much work is going through the selected work center on the selected date?
All of the inputs you need are already on the form. You just need to control the data shown in the data table control to ensure that the only data shown is the data that answers the user’s questions.
Extra challenge credit
There’s extra credit available if you can highlight the latest date when the user asks about a specific order!

Personalized feedback for everyone taking part
All submissions are individually reviewed and we provide each submission with personalized feedback. This approach is designed to add value for everyone taking part, providing you with relevant feedback to help you develop your DriveWorks skills.
Even if the deadline has passed, we are still very happy to review your submissions and give you feedback.
“They are truly mentoring sessions, they give good feedback, and it doesn’t cost a dime.”
