Customization of the Contact Create form

Hi Gurs,
I am fuacing a Problem in the Contact Create form for customization.
In this form while saving the contact it shows the pop up as "both first name and last name or atlease one should be filled for create contact" here my requirement is to make another 2 more fields phone and email as mandatory
for that i have done forms personalization and done validation for those 2 fields in Custom.pll.
Here whats happening is, as those two fields are required ,with out entering date to those fileds and given to first name only then clicking on the save button contact is creating but,when ever the fields in the form are mandatory(required) meens those should be filled other wise it will not allows us to save....why it is happening like this way???
i tried using raise form trigger failure also in the custom.pll but no use.
please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks,
Geetha.

hi,
Why can't u go for a PL/SQL procedure.
that would more easy.
And now , are using the query returned values for some display . In the sense . are you going to display these values in a web page or going write these values into a file.
For both of the issues PL/SQL Procedure is a better option.
bye,

  • Perchè i contatti creati da telefonate ricevute non si memorizzano? Because the contacts created by calls received are not stored?

    Sono proprietario di un Iphone4 da un paio di mesi ed ho notato che i contatti memorizzati da chiamate ricevute non entrano nell'archivio CONTATTI .
    Cerco di spiegare meglio il problema, indicando qui di seguito la procedura addotta:
    1) ricevo una telefonata (o in alternativa compongo un numero dal tastierino numerico)
    2) dopo aver terminato la chiamata, voglio memorizzare il numero creando un nuovo contatto
    3) dalla funzione RECENTI del telefono, clicco sulla freccetta BLU che c'è in corrispondenza del numero da "memorizzare"
    4) scelgo l'opzione "CREA CONTATTO" e compilo i dati richiesti (COGNOME, NOME, ecc.)
    5) concludo con il taso "FINE" memorizzando il contatto.
    6) ritorno nei RECENTI e trovo il numero sostituito dal Nominativo creato
    Se ora vado a cercare su CONTATTI il nominativo non riesco più a trovarlo.
    Qualcuno sa come trasferire il nuovo contatto?
    Grazie per il supporto
    I have a Iphone4 for a couple of months and I've noticed that the contacts stored from incoming calls do not come in the archive CONTACTS.
    I try to explain the problem and the procedure used:
    1) I get a call (or alternatively I composed a number from the numeric keypad)
    2) after finishing the call, I want to store the number creating a new contact
    3) using the function RECENT calls, I click on BLU arrow next to the number to "store"
    4) choose the option "CREATE CONTACT" and compile the requested data (LAST name, FIRST name, etc.).
    5) conclude with the icone "END" storing the contact.
    6) return to RECENT and I find the number replaced by Name created
    Now, If I try to look for the new name in the CONTACTS I can't find it.
    Does anyone know how to transfer the new contact?
    Thanks for the support (and sorry for my bad english)
    Paolo

    Volevo aggiungere che parlando con alcuni amici possessori di Iphone, riscontrano lo stesso problema.

  • I lost the ability to order and hide site columns if i use custom content type with a custom Create Form

    I have a team site collection and I want to add a new App of type Issue Tracking list. so I did the following:-
    From the site collection I created a new App of type issue tracking.
    Then from the site collection I created a new Content type named “CustomIssue” which has its parent as “Issue” content type.
    I went to the Issue tracking list and I changed the default content type from Issue , to the new “CustomeIssue” content type.
    I open the site collection using SP designer and I created a new Create form for my Issue tracking list based on the "CustomIssue" content type and I select to have the Create form as the default form when creating an item.
    Everything till this point worked well. But when I open the “customIssue” content type , and I re-order the columns and I hide some columns, this was not reflected inside the custom Create form …
    although when using the default content type and the default create form you can control the order of the fields and to specify if certain fields hold be hidden inside the Create form.. so can anyone advice on this please?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you lost the ability to order and hide site columns if i use custom content type with a custom Create Form.
    I try to reproduce the issue, the result is the same as yours.
    As a workaround, if I modify the custom content type form the site setting, and then change the NewForm as the default form, it will change the column orders.
    However, if I use the new created form as the default form, it will remain the original orders.
    I recommend that you modify the custom content type form the site setting, and then reset the NewForm as the default form.
    The result is as below:

  • Problems with contact email form

    Hi there,
    So I've been having lots of problems with getting an email form to work in my flash website.
    The contact email form I've been attemping to get to work can be found here:
    http://www.webdesignmo.com/blog/2008/08/14/flash-contact-form-in-actionscript-3/
    When I start a new flash movie from scratch and follow the instructions on the site, everything works great. However, when I try to create this form within a movie symbol within my current flash site, nothing works at all. I've tried placing the submit button within the movie symbol and without and neither works. I guess my question is, why would this happen? In which circumstances would placing a form like this inside of a movie prevent the form from functioning? For instance, when I tes tthe movie, fill out the form and press the submit button, nothing happens.
    Can I get some advice for whether I need to rethink implementing this form into a current flash video and what things I should check for?
    Thanks so much!
    Using CS3 btw.

    you probably have path problems.  use the trace() function to help debug your flash.

  • Can somebody tell me the contact details of the BT...

    I have been waiting over 3 weeks for a date for a new installation for a brad new house after being told the phone line and broadband was working on day 1.....amazing as i dont even have a telephone wire from the telephone pole to the house!
    I have spoke to at least 10 people, all of which take zero responsibility for the issue and just keep passing me to another department...
    The last call i just received saying that "Terry Ann" will call me back tomorrow after 11am to "discuss what work needs doing".....great ill just wait for that phone call then. Every time i receive a phone call it just makes me more and more angry as we are no further to getting a resolution than i was on the 5th November when iwas told the issue was resolved.
    Apparently for over a week BT were trying to rectify a fault on my line (even though a line didnt exist) and this fault could not be closed down on the system until it was resolved....and clearly it was never going to be!!
    So i think, we are now getting somewhere near the point of getting a new installlation date, from the provisions team, but obviously i have to wait until after 11am tomorrow...
    Certainly no signs of being moved up the queue because of the appalling service i have received!
    I would love to take my business elsewhere but unfortunately Openreach run the new lines for everyone else that provides a telephone SERVICE....haha service makes me laugh!!!
    I have never experience the level of incompetence as i have over the course of the last few weeks and when i asked one person i was speaking to whether THEY thought that the service i had received was acceptable....their response was "i can comment on that sir".
    To be honest i dont want anyone else to say sorry, i dread to think how many times the ten people have said sorry.
    Its just not good enough and apparently team supervisors are there to manage the staff and not to escalate customer complaints to...... but should a client request a call back from a supervisor you have to wait 2 hours for that....
    So you wait 2 hours to get a call back just repeating what the member of staff had previously told you....a load of sorrys and waffle telling you that they arnt in the department you need.
    I actually just wanted the contact details of someone senior that can hear my complaint as im not getting anywhere closer to having a phone line and internet after more than 2 weeks...
    The only way BT can still be in business is that there truely is no other option in obtaining a phone line...
    Please somebody tell me how i can get the contact details of the top guys at BT....i need something done about this!! It is not good for my blood pressure!
    I cant have BT responsible for my son losing a father because he has gone insane whilst trying to get a phone line and internet....
    HELP!!

  • Contacts created in iphone do not synchro to outlook

    Hi everyone,
    First of all, sorry if this topic is repeated. I have been searching just in case but I did not find it.
    The problem I have is as follows: the contacts created directly on the iphone are not syncrhonizing with Outlook 2007. So, if I create a new one with the iphone this is not copy to Outlook. If it helps, the iphone contacts groups I have are: "All", and below "From my Pc" is "All of my Pc".
    I have an iphone 3GS and, as I said, using Outlook 2007 to manage contacts.
    Thanks in advance (and sorry if my English is not 100% accurate...)
    Best regards,

    I'm sorry, I missed your earlier reply. You do have the option to reset the sync history in iTunes, by going into Edit>Preferences>Devices, and then reset sync history. Have you done a reset on the iPhone? It is unusual that you have syncing going on with the iPhone in one way and not the other, usually it is the other way around.
    See if a reset of the phone helps. To reset, hold the power and home buttons down together until you see the Apple logo and then release, ignoring the slide to power off screen. This does a reset of the phone OS but does not hurt any of the data. Then try adding a contact and see if it will sync.

    If you are using Oracle db, also make sure that you database sequence increment and TopLink sequence preallocation sizes are the same.

  • Pre-populated in user create form

    Hello there,
    I want to have user create form that displays some pre-populated fields in Access Manager. I have added the new fields and can see on the user create form but I want to populate these fields with the values from database or some other resource. Any idea how can this be done?
    Thanks in advance.

    There are various ways this can be done. One way is to use a back-end application to pre-populate a copy of the PDF with the data and then serve it to the user, but that is quite complex to implement. Another way would be to use parameters in the URL to do it. That can be done more easily with a script.

  • System assigning Contact Number before saving the contact

    Hi ,
    In CRM Dev client and CRM QA system is assigning Number for the
    contact (Business Partner) before saving the contact in webui.
    Because of this, system is updating the Contact created time in BUT000
    as the Number assignement time and not the actual contact saved
    time.
    (Whereas in CRM PROD client its not behaving as indicated above and
    its assigning Number after saving and its fine).
    Pl suggest the possibilities to avoid early number assignment and surprised its happening in only Dev and QA.
    Regards
    Babu

    Thanks for the suggestion Frank! Just so I understand you, the ADF Faces text component that I am adding would be in addition to the radio select one component? Then if you click on radio button 1, enter data in the text field, that action should bind it to field1 and similarly for the other fields when radio button 2 or 3 is clicked? In this case I am assuming that I do not have to display the actual db fields1 - 3 on the form?
    This would be fine for fields1 and 2 (though field2 would require one to enter a substantial amount of text - on average a 1000 characters as opposed to field1 that has a maximum length of 40 characters). Field3 however is different because it should be an inputFile component in order to download OS files and store in the database. Thus the ADF Faces text component might not be able to handle this without substantial additional java code.
    Thanks again for your suggestions. I really appreciate it!

  • My Client is having a serious problem with the Contact Form Widget

    My Client is having a serious problem with the Contact Form Widget that I can not figure out how to correct.
    I created a website for a client and inserted a Contact Form widget on their 'Contact Us' page. Whenever anyone uses the form, the e-mail my client receive shows my e-mail address as the sender. So, when they 'reply' to the e-mail, the reply is sent to me and not the person who sent the original message. This creates a major problem in that I get barraged with e-mail replies while my client's potential customers go without a response.
    When I look at  'Site Manager > System E-Mails > Workflow Information > E-mail From Address' on the site's Admin Console, it shows my e-mail information. Is this is what needs to be changed?  If it is, what needs to be placed in that field so that the e-mail my client receives shows the senders e-mail information in the 'From' field.  My client wants to be able to click reply and have the message sent to the right party. They would be very upset if they have to cut and past the senders e-mail address from the body text on every contact they receive.
    Their feeling is that if I can't find a way to make the contact form work the way it should, then it's useless to them.
    Can anyone help me figure this out? I really don't want to disappoint my first client.

    Are you on a plan that has the CRM feature that stores your customers' data? If so, the idea of the contact form is that you'll receive a notification that there's been an inquiry filled out on your contact form and there should be a link in that email notification that leads to the "Case" that was created when that customer filled out a contact form.  You can click that link and visit the case for that customer in your BC site and reply to them from there so that all of the correspondence is logged in the CRM for safe-keeping and for your records.
    If your client finds this is too much work to login to BC to reply every time, then you should check to see if you have the "Customer Service Ticketing" feature on your hosting plan.  This is a feature where you create a dedicated email account (like [email protected]) and the BC system will automatically login to that email account and pull any emails in that inbox and convert them to a customer case for the sender of the email and then it will send out a notification via email to any of the BC Admin users you delegate as "Customer Service Agents".  Since the CST integrates with the BC CRM it lets you reply directly within the email-- but when you reply it will be going to that same email address dedicated to the CST but once the CST service checks your email again and sees that you replied to this inquiry it will log your reply against the customer's case and sends your reply via email back to them so that all the correspondance gets logged on BC's CRM but you can still reply via email.
    There's no way to use the default web forms to update the "From" or "Reply-To" address.. it must come from an approved email address to avoid spam issues.  On most web services you cannot change the "from" address anyway but usually you can at least specify the "Reply-To" address so that when someone hits "reply" in their email client it will reply to whoever you setup as the "Reply-To" address.
    Here's some more information about CST: http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/kb/customer-service-ticketing.html?bc-partner
    I don't think the CST feature is in the webMarketing BC plan-- I think it's only in the webCommerce plan so if you have less than an webCommerce plan you have to tell your client to reply through BC by clicking the link in the notification they get.  You can justify it by saying its one or two more steps but it keeps the entire convo on record in their CRM for easy referral later.

  • Best way to create a Contact Us form

    What is the best way to create a contact us form?
    I created mine using a table and the form sleection of DW CS6.
    Thanks!

    Creating the form itself is really only half the job.
    You can have a marvelous form created using html and DW's built in form items. Those items can be in a table, or not, that part is up to you. The next step is making the form "do something".
    The simplest way to make a form work, is a mailto: link in the form action attribute, but it's the absolute worst way to go. Mailto: links require the viewer to have an email client installed and set up on the computer they're using to submit your form. If they don't (as in the case of Gmail, htomail, yahoo, etc mail users) when they click Submit, absolutely nothing will happen.
    Another drawback of using a mailto: link for your form submission is that email address is now open to every spam email harvester on the internet. If you like certain "blue pill emails" then there wouldn't be an issue, but if you are like the majority of society, you won't be sending funds to any Nigerian doctors either and won't want to be spammed constantly.
    Personally, I use the Formmail script, available for free at http://www.tectite.com for pretty much all of my html forms. As long as your server has PHP installed (most do) the Formmail script will work very well for you. They have a ton of "How To" info on their site and the script itself is very robust with loads of features you can use, or not, at your discretion. They also have a very well documented troubleshooting section and a searchable forum that take care of the most common issues you run into.
    Your next step is "find out what server scripting language you have available on your server". From there, you'll need to find/write a compatible script, then attach your form to it.
