Auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF

Hello all,
I am not able to auto populate text fields with a trigger such as entering text into input fields in ADF.
I tried AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(val); in the back end using setter method of input text field.
its not working ..
is there any way to achieve it

Hi,
Always mention your JDev version.
The valueChangeListener would fire only when you set the autoSubmit property of the field to true. Can you elaborate your requirement? What do you mean by related data? Are you performing some sort of search?
If you want to get the value you entered on the field, just set autoSubmit to true and get the new value from the valueChangeListener. If your requirement is something like as and when you type, do something, you need to check out this approach :https://blogs.oracle.com/groundside/entry/auto_reduce_search_sample

I have been pulling my hair out for a few days trying to find
this solution. This fixed my problems as well.
I was getting ready to scrap the Report Builder altogether
and move to SQL Server Reporting Services over this issue.
I'm running 7.0.2 also, that version alone fixed many small
issues like creating borders and such.
Thanks

I would make the signature field read only until something is entered in the mandatory fields.

Mina,
You can use LiveCycle Designer's Action Builder to easily achieve this.
Please go through online documentation for the specific version of LiveCycle Designer that you are using.
It is intuitive and very easy to use Action Builder (You will find this option under Tools Menu item of Designer).

Auto populate field with value same as one in a previous existing field

Hi,
Suppose I have only two fields in an acrobat form, one is name A and aonther is B. I want A and B has the same value.
If I input a date value into field A like November 20, 2010, is that possible the field B can be auto filled with the same value as that in the A field?
How about other type of data such as number?
What should I write in validation or calculation area in the field properties of B?
Thanks and looking forward to getting help from the PDF expert.

Tabular form - how to auto populate a column with the user name

Hi,
I have a tabular form with 3 columns - (customer name, notes, user). my users are allowed to enter customer details in the notes section... as soon as the user completes notes section and save the form, I want "USER" field to be auto populate with the user name so that I may track activity by the user...
Please advice how to accomplish it...
thanks in advance

Hi,
After user saves the forms that means commit to the database, so you can simply write a trigger like:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "AUDIT"
before insert or update on TABLE1
for each row
begin
:new.user_field := nvl(v('APP_USER'),user);
end;

Acrobat 9: Auto-Populate Subject line with Attachment Name

Hello,
I am trying to auto-populate the subject line of an email with the .pdf attachment name. I don't care either way if this functionality is available or not. I just need a difinitive yes or no answer. And, of course, if yes I need to know how to do it. Email client is Outlook 2007.
Thanks in Advance,
Matt

In that case, I don't believe so.
You could set up in Acrobat a custom menu item or toolbar button that uses the doc.mailDoc JavaScript method, which is able to set the subject line text. The script could get the current file name and set the subject of the email to the same.

Append Method
I would create a box / div in Animate then when you publish it and put it on your page just append a form with an email input ( <input type="email></input>" ) and submit button.
<form action="url">
<input type="email" name="usremail">
<input type="submit">
</form>
This page provides a lot of information on how to use Edge Animate and how to do more advanced things.

Enter Data into Two Fields At Once

This seems like it should be simple, but I can't find anything on it. I'm creating a fillable pdf, and I need the data from one text field to appear in another text field.
Example: The form has two sections, one for the applicant to fill out and one for office use only. There is a field for "Project Address" in both sections. The client wants the address entered in the first field to be automatically populated in the second address field.
How do I make that happen?

If you give both fields the same name, they will automatically have the same value. But if you want the second field to be editable independently of the first address field, you can use the following custom Validate script for the first field. It will set the second field's value to the same as the first if the second field is blank.
// Custom Validate script for text field
(function () {
    // Get a reference to the second field
    var f = getField("ProjectAddress2");
    // Set the second address field to this field's value, if it's blank
    if (!f.valueAsString) f.value = event.value;
Replace "ProjectAddress2" with the actual name of the field.

Field Update workflow action - Updating today's date into a field

Hello there.
I was hoping someone might be able to help with an error currently being experienced with regards to this workflow action.
The requirement is for a workflow rule to action the printing of today's date into a custom field on an Activity record. The workflow rule condition is (PRE('<Status>') <> 'Completed') AND ([<Status>] = 'Completed'). This appears to be working and triggering the action correctly.
The custom field to be updated is of type 'Date'. The value being updated into this field is 'Today()'. Overwrite existing values is checked.
The default value for the field is also 'Today()'. Thus the workflow action involves overwriting the default value (i.e. the date the record was created) to the current date when the Status is switched to completed.
When the workflow is triggered the following error message occurs:
"Unable to evaluate workflow rule for the following reason:
Update [Custom field name] : The value '01/18/2008' cannot be converted to a date time value. (SBL-DAT-00359) (SBL-ODS-00500)"
One odd observation is that this error only occurs when trying to update activities that were created on previous days - (it will not overwrite the default value of 15/01/2008 with 18/01/2008). The workflow does not return an error message when asked to overwrite a value which is equal to itself (i.e. if the default value was 18/01/2008, the workflow runs without error, although the value stays the same as you would expect.)
Can anyone shed any light on this? One potential thought is that our CRM is set up so that all dates appear in a different format - i.e. dates appear as dd/mm/yyy, rather than mm/dd/yyyy. Could this be contributing to this issue?
Any help very much appreciated indeed.
Thanks,
Kieran
ps. The reason for doing all this is that 'Completed date' for an activity does not appear in reporting. This has been raised with Oracle and apparently an 'enhancement request' has been registered.

Guys,
using the following statement, it does display the current system time
Mid(Timestamp(),4,2)+'-'+Mid(Timestamp(),1,2)+'-'+Mid(Timestamp(),7,4)+' '+Mid(Timestamp(),12,8)
Now When i do this , it displays me a time which is 3 hours ahead
Mid(Timestamp(),4,2)+'-'+Mid(Timestamp(),1,2)+'-'+Mid(Timestamp(),7,4)+' '+Mid(Timestamp() + (3.0/24.0),12,8)
My problem is to now display the difference of the current time stamp and the the time which shows 3 hours ahead in one field
Thats is substracting the first timestamp syntax fro mthe second timestamp syntax
and ofcourse if I copy paste both the syntaxes and put a minus sign in between, it doesnt work
Timestamdiff is not allowed in workflows or field validations :(
Anyone has any ideas?

Two fields, two scripts. User can enter data into field 1 or 2

Hi all,
New here, and to acrobat forms, so please bear with me!
What I'm trying to achieve is a form that calculates total invoice value, based on a total number of hours worked, and a rate. The user fills in the total hours, but then the problem is that some people know their fixed rate, and others have a changing rate. Those with a changing rate simply know the amount they are invoicing for. What I'd like, is a way for the TotalInvoice value to be calculated by Rate*TotalHours when the user enters a value into the Rate field... OR ... for Rate to be calculated by TotalInvoice/TotalHours when the user enters a value into the TotalInvoice field.
I can make it go one way or the other (so the script is only in TotalInvoice field or the Rate field), but I can't manage to get it to go both ways. Is this possible?
To summarise: User can enter manually into Field1 and value of Field2 is calculated, or user can enter manually into Field2 and Field1 is calculated.
Thanks!

What you propose can be difficult, becuase you're describing a circular reference between the two fields. When the 1st value changes, you want the 2nd value to be calculated based on the 1st value. But when the 2nd value changes, you want the 1st value to be calculated based on the 2nd, ad infinitum. There are ways to short-circuit the loop, but it depends on whether you need to do the calculation only when there is manual entry, or whether you need it to work when either field value changes programmatically or by importing form data.
Sometimes it's just easier to have the user press a button to calculate and set the other field value.

User can not enter value in INPUT field.

hi experts,

This you cannot control. because if it is enabled only in that case you can see it white.
do that thing as suggested by basakar to add a new input field just besides first one with zero padding.
One workaround is use an image instead of real input field. the image should have the input field as image.
and besides it create the input field with width 0 and padding also zero.
i think this can fulfill the requirement.
Thanks

How to restrict number of character to be entered in an input field??????

Hi All,
I am using the tab phtmlb:formLayoutInputField to define an input field. I need to restrict the end user from entering a maximum of 70 characters(can be any character/number) in the textbox.
I'll explain in another sentence:::: the end user should be able to enter only 70 characters in the textbox and 71st character should not be allowed to enter. Could anyone please suggest as to how I can achieve this?
Thanks a lot in advance,

Hi,
We can limit the length of an inputfield by mentioning the maxlength properties of an inputfield.
<htmlb:inputField id= "get"

Family budget add monthly sheet and auto populate master sheet with graphs

I would like to create a monthly budget template that i can link to a master document that will graph what we have paid and compare it to previous months. I may not have the correct vocabulary for this because i am pretty new to using equasions and linking documents.

q,
A Numbers Document, a file, can't communicate with another Numbers Document, file, without using scripts. You may keep the Master and the Monthly detail Sheets in the same document to accomplish your task.
If your monthy sheet sizes are modest, you should have no capacity or speed issues.

Character field with date format alike & character entered

Hi all,
I got one character field created ( varchar2 ) for the purposed to let user the enter the date and also any character since it is a character field.
Hence, my field may contain the following data :-
Ship_date
01/10/2010
07/02/2011
15/01/2011
25/01/2011
31/01/2011
TBA
STOP
11/01/2011
TBA
Hence when come to sorting, I will like it to be date format like sorting so that the earlier date will display first then only follow by the character. The expected result will be :-
ship_date
01/10/2011
11/01/2011
15/01/2011
25/01/2011
31/01/2011
07/02/2011
STOP
TBA
Trying to do the normal sorting, it does not exactly sort on the date format, as it only sort on the first two character on the date hence I am not getting the correct sorting on this.
01/10/2011
07/02/2011
11/01/2011
15/01/2011
25/01/2011
31/01/2011
STOP
TBA
Could someone help me on this. Thanks.

If you must deal with the table as it is:
ORDER BY CASE
          WHEN TRANSLATE ( ship_date
                    , '012345678'
                    , '999999999'
                    ) = '99/99/9999'
          THEN SUBSTR (ship_date, 7)
             || SUBSTR (ship_date, 4, 2)
       END
,       ship_dateThe CASE expressionj sorts anything the looks like a date ('99/99/9999' where '9' stands for any digit) first, in order by the last 4 digits, then the middle 2 digits. The first 2 digits are sorted by the second ORDER BY expression.
I will like it to be date format like sorting so that the earlier date will display first then only follow by the character. The expected result will be :-
ship_date
01/10/2011
11/01/2011
15/01/2011
25/01/2011
31/01/2011
07/02/2011That must be a mistake. I don't believe you want January to come after October and before February, but if you do, you can change what comes after THEN in the CASE expression.
