Displaying time-stamps on comment balloons

Hi,
I am a contract negotiator and often send a document back and forth several times with the document locked and "Tracked Changes" enabled so I can see all additions/deletions that the other party makes. The trouble is that after a few back-and-forths
it gets very, very hard to keep up with when a comment was made.
From browsing forums and searching solutions, it looks to me like the Mac version of Microsoft Word displays this information by default. The closest I can get here in my Windows machine is if I hover the mouse on top of the balloon/bubble it displays a
time/date. However, that time-stamp changes every time I send/receive the document. (I'm not sure exactly why but my best guess is that the time-stamp displays the "Last Modified" time, and the comment is considered "modified"
if a new comment is inserted above it, thereby changing the ordinal numbering of the original comment.)
NOTE: In the picture you can see that when I hover the date displayed was 4/18 (the date I had recieved the document back from the other party), BUT I actually made the comment on 3/20 (this is how I've been working so I could remember when my comment was
made, but I can't tell the other party to do this. This seems absurd to me and it's endlessly frustrating.
The result is that I end up having to have the last 2 or 3 versions of the document pulled up, side by side, so I tell which comments are new to the current draft and which ones are just left over from the
last version I sent to the person.
This seems like a very basic/simple thing to me and I have searched the settings/options/forums/etc and I cannot figure this out! Thank you for any help you can offer!

Hi Hal,
Yes, the screenshot in my last reply is from Word 2013, but the result are the same in Word 2010 (yes, the "X minutes ago" is added in Word 2013). And I run the test (modify/add the comments) in Word 2010.
I upload the screenshot from Word 2013 because as you've noticed, the time stamps are displayed more clearly. (sorry for the confusing.)
I'm not sure if it is a know issue that has been fixed in the later version of Word 2010, but it still worth to keep your Office up to date, and I suppose you also need to encourage your co-workers to do the same.
And after you have update your Office to the latest version, try create a new document and see if you can still reproduce this behavior,
if no, then we can consider it has been fixed in the update;
if yes, please provide more detailed steps, so I can try to follow your exact steps to reproduce it;
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
To keep your Office up to date, enable the setting under:
Control Panel -> Windows Update -> Change settings -> Microsoft Updates -> Give me updates for other Microsoft products when I update Windows
Also you can mannually download and install the Service Pack 1 for Office 2010 from:

Disable time-stamp in comments

Dear all,
when adding comments to a PDF it automatically creates an annotation with the commenters NAME, DATE and TIME. Is it possible to deactivate this time-stamp?
It's the version 10.1.1.
Thanks for any hint and kind regards,
Ole

Thanks for the idea.I tried it but it did not include the date/time in the output log.I did see it display on the screen.Am I missing something?

Display of Time Stamps based on the TimeZones

Hi experts,
I am new to Internationalization topic and wants to
display Time Stamps based on the TimeZones.
For example, If I choose Asia/Calcutta as my TimeZone
it is displaying "Mon Aug 28 11:02:47 GMT+5:30 2001" as the TimeStamp.(I am in this TimeZone,which is default to me.)
Similarly If I select any other TimeZone, it should display the TimeStamp in the same format but the values in the Time Stamp should reflect the selected TimeZone.
I will be thankful to you if u could help me to get the solution.
Srinivas.

Hi Srinivas,
It comes down to some tinkering in the java.util.* package.
First off, you'll need to familiarise yourself with the Calendar class. This basically replaces the old Date class from old versions of the JDK, and allows you to hold certain dates and times. You can get one by calling Calendar.getInstance();
You can then set a TimeZone on this Calendar by calling myCalendar.setTimeZone().
To create a basic TimeZone, have a look at the SimpleTimeZone class - it'll allow you to set the hours ahead or behind GMT, as well as a start date for this time zone, and even gives the ability to add daylight savings time.
From there, the time zone you add to the Calendar should produce the correct dates for you. Changing the time zone within a Calendar that already holds a date and time should alter that date and time accordingly.
If you want to get really clever, have a look at the Locale class - it allows you to specify a default language and country. You can then apply this to your Calendar by calling Calendar.getInstance(Locale myLocale) instead of the version above. If you have the international JDK (i.e. the one with i18n.jar onboard), Calendar should be clever enough to format the dates nicely for you if you use a fairly well-known Locale (such as American English and so on).
A Locale will also let you format dates in a location-specific way if you want to output them to the screen later on down the track. A quick look at SimpleDateFormat and some of the other DateFormat classes should tell you what you need to know.
If you can't quite get your head around any of the above, feel free to reply again!

How to convert hex string to time stamp?

Hello everyone..
I am currently working on a project in which I have to read the data from a unit and display that data using LabVIEW. I am using serial communication for reading the data. The read data is in hex format.
Now, I want to convert this hex string to a time stamp value. I am reading total 16 bytes. How to convert this hex data to a time stamp value. I have developed a VI. But I want to know that the displayed time stamp is correct or not? Or suggest me some other solution.
I am using LabVIEW 2011.
Thanks & Regards,
Manisha

HCM Process & Forms: Date & Time Stamp issue in Prev Comments Box

Hi
We implemented HCM Process and Forms and we are in EHP4. We need user name, date and time stamp in each step for audit purpose.
Form Process Example:
Step1: Manager -> Initiates a Form for employee pay/position changes (REQUEST)
Step2: 1-Up Manager -> Approves a Form for employee pay/position changes (APPROVE)
Step3: HR Admin -> Process a Form for employee pay/position changes (PROCESS)
Process Overview: HR Admin can open a form once all steps are completed and they want to see all 3 steps date & stamp here.
New Comments -> To enter user comments in each step. Used data type HRASR_CURRENT_NOTE
Previous Comments-> To display prev. step / user's comments including user name, date & time. Used data type HRASR_PREVIOUS_NOTES.
I tried all different property settings in the form. May be I am still missing some property settings here.
Issue: If user enters any comments in "New Comments" box then only date & time stamp is coming along with their comments in "Previous Comments" otherwise not showing anything, just blank in the Prev. Comments. I added some code in form script in case no data in "New Comments" then default a value ":" . It is working fine for first step but not working the same for other 2 steps.
Trying in different way:
Creating 3 text fields in a form just for display purpose and modifying each field (data set) with some text (combination of user name, system date and time) at each stage/step in a BADI.
Method: IF_HRASR00GEN_SERVICE~DO_OPERATIONS
Here it is updating correctly for first step/stage (REQUEST) and other 2 fields are not updating accordingly. I did debug for each step and updating the data set correctly but finally not dispalying the valuse in a form except first field.
Can someone please share your ideas or inputs.
Appreciate your time & help!
Thanks
Hari

Hi Sahir
Thank you for your reply.
As I explained in my post, user details with date & stamp are coming when user enters some comments otherwise it is blank., All users may not enter comments because it is not a "required".
HR is needed this for audit purpose, just at end of the process they need to see all user names, date & stamp in the form. Forget about comment boxes, Can't we make just simple text fields with user details for each step (all 3 stages)?
FYI:
Issue: If user enters any comments in "New Comments" box then only date & time stamp is coming along with their comments in "Previous Comments" otherwise not showing anything, just blank in the Prev. Comments. I added some code in form script in case no data in "New Comments" then default a value ":" . It is working fine for first step but not working the same for other 2 steps.
Appreciate your inputs !

Remove the comment time stamp in a PDF document

Does anyone know what's the best way to remove the comment time stamp from a document?
thanks

Do you mean that you want to remove the timestamp of a particular comment? If so, there are two timestamps associated with a comment, the creation date and the modified date. The modified date is what's shown in the comments list in Acrobat/Reader and can be altered by a script, but the creation date will still be present though unseen and unmodifiable directly with a script. It's possible to export the comments to a data file (FDF/XFDF), edit the file to remove/replace any timestamp info, and re-import the comments into a copy of the file that doesn't have comments. So the best approach really depends on what it is you're trying to accomplish.

Time Stamp Error: Cannot display system date and time. My VI display "YYYY-MM-DD" instead of "2014-08-02".

Hi All,

I tried other computer machine and it works. There are some computer machine has this problem.
How can I resolve this issue? Please advice. Thanks.

Bill,
reviewing the thread Dennis linked (thanks for that) reveals that it is the same account which opened this thread here three month later.
What bothers me is the fact, that the past thread is marked "solved" even though it obviously isn't. Or the OP is trolling us.....
Nevertheless, it seems like systematic error. Connected to specific machines.
What makes the machines where the time stamp issue occurs "unique"? If there are several, is that source really "unique"?
Most obvious reasons would be:
- Language settings (possibly the infamous "dot-comma-issue")
- Time zone settings (e.g. what happens if you switch Ulaanbaatar to Perth or maybe even some US time zone?)
- Missing hotfixes for Win and LV
- Is the system running as virtual machine vs. "native"?
Not so obvious differences:
- Specific CPU type
- Motherboard/BIOS
- LV ini settings
There are tons of other possible reasons (e.g. corrupt LV installation), but these are the ones i came up with within a couple of minutes....

How does the image time stamp display /modification vary among Bridge, Photoshop, and PS Element Org

I've noticed some discrepancies between times recorded in my image EXIF data as well as the time displayed with images in Bridge and Photoshop Elements Organizer. For instance I may have a series of images shot within a few minutes of each other. After having done some manipulation of a subset of the images and later on showing the sequence in both Bridge and PSE Organizer, I have noticed that the time associated with some of the images has changed. Bridge and PSE Organizer may actually show times that differ by several hours. It almost looks like the time is converted from the original camera time to UTC and then possibly back to the time zone where my computer is located. The pattern is not completely consistent and may depend on what Adobe products have been used to adjust or catalog the images. I'm looking for a good and complete description of how each product handles the image date and time stamp. I suspect that there is some inconsistency in how this is done across the products. I'm currently using Bridge / Photoshop CS6 Extended and Photoshop Elements Organizer 10.0 which were recently upgraded from CS 5 and 8.0 respectively. I also use Adobe Camera Raw 7.1 to edit the Nikon raw files. This problem appears to predate the upgrade of my products.

Well, it must be a system-specific bug of some sort that's been introduced, because I was able to create a 4200 x 3500 image made by mapping an image of similar size to a cylinder, and the cylinder would move/rotate in real time. Of course, I have a completely different video card and system than you do, but I'm just verifying that it's not broken everywhere.
Rendering isn't hugely fast, but that's not unexpected with a larger image.
Maybe being more specific would help. Is your mesh complex?
Is it something you'd be willing to share online or describe how to create? I would be happy to try to match what you're doing more thoroughly to see whether I can reproduce the slowdowns.
Beyond that, I'm not sure what to suggest... You don't have a lot of RAM to be working on 15 megapixel images, but as you say the thing to concentrate on is that you're seeing quite different performance from the Ps CS6 beta version.

Date/Time Stamp Display

When watching my movies I almost always wonder "when was this shot"?
One of the things I miss the most about burning my videos to DVD instead of playing them from the tape is the ability to push a button, see the date/time stamp on the screen and then push it again to make it go away.
I know this is a long shot, but is there anyway to get similar functionality in iMovie & iDVD?
Right now I am playing with putting a title at the beginning of every clip in the movie with the date info and that is A LOT of work. Still it won't help me when I am viewing the middle of the clip.
If there is no way to get the date/time stamp to appear/disappear during playback by pushing a button, is there at least a way that a title can get the date/time info for me? Maybe some variable I can type in the title (i.e.:%DATETIME%)? That would at least save me a couple steps.
Or is there a plug-in that does something along those lines?
I think that would be a great feature if they don't have it already (and not to hard I would think).
Thanks

Hi Tj
I've wrestled with this problem ever since VHS went out of style. The old VHS would pick it up and you couldn't get rid of it. Digital got rid of it when transferred to imovie. My Sony camera can show it or remove it on it's own remote screen. I found the best way to keep track of the time stamp is when I'm done with a tape is to review it and create a data base on a hard copy. It's a hard habit to get into but once it's done it saves a ton of time. I physically number the cassette and use categories in a columnar format: NO., REAL TIME, EVENT, DESCRIPTION, COMMENT DATE, YEAR. Being a data base document I can arrange in any order I want.
There are other advantages. By reviewing and entering the information it stays fresh in my mind. I can also add comments like: Add music and effects to this clip.
Gee Three/slick has numerous titles of with some look like time stamps or you can create you own directly onto the clip. There is no need for a separate (title over black) title.
Part of the fun in editing is picking the title, what font to use and be able to dazzle your viewers with special affects. Slick has one called Far far away from the Star Wars movies where the titles slowly disappear into the distance.

Did you mean you want to Eliminate time stamp in Track Changes, check the following steps:
1. Click the File tab.
2. Click Options.
3. Click Trust Center.
4. Under Microsoft Word Trust Center, click Trust Center Settings...
5. Click Privacy Options
6. Under Document-specific settings, uncheck Remove personal information from file properties on save.
7. Click OK twice.

Reading from a .txt and displaying in XY graph with time stamp

Hi,
I am a newbie to LAbView. I need to read from a text file having two columns, one carrying the temp value and other the time stamp. I need to plot this in XY graph on a real time basis. Please help as how can I do this..
I am attaching my files for your reference.

So what is the question about... I have to use XY graph in my program. It is used in Loop while cycle. It shows the statistic of a variable. I am using cursors in this graph to check the actual value of a variable in different period of time. But there are 7 variables and it is extremely hard for user to check each value independently. So I tried to make them moving on the X axis (TIME) together using the property node (cursors reading the position (only X axis, Y axis status lock to plot) of the major cursor and follow it... Everything looks great? But it did not work when I am trying to move the major cursor manually on graph... It works only when I am using the cursor movement buttons... But they work very slowly when there is a lot of data in graph.
I want to find out is it possible to make seven coursers mouthing together By the X axe and be Locked each at its plot by Y axe manually (Using mouse moving on a graph). Is it possible? If it is than how to do it?
Hello Shidla,
The attached VI should help give you an idea of how to create a VI that allows all cursors to move together. The main idea is to keep track of the current location of all cursors and move all of them when you see a change in one's position.
Good luck with your development.

Unix Time Stamp to Date for display

Post Author: merph
CA Forum: Formula
I need to convert a unix time stamp to a readable date for a report. Does anyone outthere have a good formula for this?
Thanks
Merph

Post Author: V361
CA Forum: Formula
If you can pull a couple of unix epoch times from the database, then let's run these formulae against them and see if it brings up the correct date and time separately. These formula are pulled from another post by UberWolfe.
ctime(( - 18000) / 86400+25569)
cdate(( - 18000) / 86400+25569)
The 18000 is for to convert for timezones for example 18000 is for -5 GMT.

Display custom time-stamps on a graph

Hello
I have some data in the format (yyyy-mm-dd, value). I would like to plot it like that in a graph chart.
The problem is that I cant transform the string 'yyyy-mm-dd' into a labview time-stamp.
Is there any way around?
Thanks,
Antonio

Use Scan From String function:
Note that you did not provide time information, so you just get 6 PM. Check the LabVIEW Help for further details on the Scan From String function.
