Is it possible for a user to edit the output of a form before printing?

This might sound odd but the business have requested the ability to edit the text of a Smartform before printing. i.e. a standard form can be printed 'as is' for most employees but certain exceptions may require the wording to be slightly amended.
I don't think this is possible but I want to know for sure.
Any advice is much appreciated.
Many thanks
Matt

Hi Matt,
Sanjay was right.
That is the best you can do as of now.
Have a screen when the user has a chance of modifying the texts that are currently being displayed on the print. Let him save the texts and then trigger the smrtform, which would pick the updated texts instead of the old ones.
the function modules READ_TEXT, SAVE_TEXT may come in handy here.
regards,
Ravi

BRFPlus - Possible for business users to change the rules ?

Hi,
1) Is it possible for business users to change the rules in decision table, tree, formula etc?
2) If yes, what are the steps to achieve it?
Thanks.
- julius

Hi Julius,
do you know the BRFplus knowledge center:
Business Rule Framework plus [original link is broken]
There is a video called Bonus Determination that shows the steps for a developer and a business user.
The developer may create the function, data objects and maybe the initial decision table. The business user then can create the lines in a decision table.
In the 701 version this should work fine. The 701 trail version is a pre-release CD which contains some bugs that should be gone in the latest SP of 701.

Is it possible for several users to share the same user ID and password?

Is it possible for several iPlanet Calendar Server users to use the same user
ID and password and to use the same calendar to make changes? If this sharing
is possible, are there any limitations for multiple users updating the same
record, and does any database locking take place?
Yes, more than one person can use the same user ID and password and update the
same record. The database code uses the First In First Out(FIFO) rule, where
only one person updates a record at a given time. So, if two users are
updating the same record, the changes made by the user who updates the record
last will get written to the record.
<P>
If the deployment requirement specifies a shared calendar, where users do not
have their own users IDs, you can set an appropriate Access Control List(ACL).
It is also possible to make the calendar publicly writable.

Hi matrixxzero,
In my opinion, you want to use the same Apple/iCloud/iTunes ID on both devices. That is exactly what iCloud is designed for - to keep devices with the same Apple ID in sync. Your Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Safari Bookmarks, Notes, Photo Stream photos, and Documents will all be kept in sync if you have those options set up on both devices under Settings>iCloud.
Unless you have some reason to not want to have the same information on both devices, then going with a single ID on both is the way to go.
Cheers,
GB

Roles for the user to Edit the Dimension without being an administrator

Dear Users,
I have a query based on Planning security.
I want the user to edit the dimensions and members in planning application. However, the user cannot be administrator.
I have created a user and assigned the role of "Interactive User" on Planning roles and of "Dimension Editor" on Shared Services access. With this provisioning user the "Administration-->Dimension" is grayed out for the user.
Please suggest if roles can be assigned to the user in order to Edit the Dimension without being an administrator?
Regards,
Praveen.

I am sure this question gets asked over and over, they need to be an administrator.
Cheers

I share a an apple id with my kids. We all use the same credit card for purchases. Is it possible for only me to use the icloud online storage without making this available or visible to the kids?

My kids and I all use the same credit card and password for app and music purchases. I'm assuming we all use the same apple ID too. (not sure) We can share apps and music although we all have our own itunes libraries. Is it possible for only me to use the icloud online storage without making this available or visible to the kids or do we all have our own storage?

I just checked and they have already sucked up all my online storage. Ahhh techy teens! I think I will just leave it at that and back my own stuff up on my computer. Less confusing
Thanks for all the help! I am definitely more educated now and I'm off to check that cc bill too.

How to show asterisk * effect once the user starts editing the document??

I wrote a java text editor. I creat a new internal frame and allows to open a document.
How to have an effect (an asterisk * follows the filename in title bar) once
the user starts editing the document? And once I save that file, that asterisk * will
disappear. It seems to me we need to add a listener, but not sure how to change
the title bar of internal frame??

just use DocumentListener like
myTextArea.getDocument().addDocumentListener(new DocumentListenet(){
public void changedUpdate(DocumentEvent e){
frame.setTitle( frame.getTitle() + "*" );
implements two other methods too

How to Edit the subject of a form that is submitted to me via email?

Is there a way to Edit the subject of a form that is submitted to me via email?
Ex. I've created multiple forms in Dreamweaver. They are submitted to my email address without problem.
When I receive them, the default subject line in my email is "Form posted from Microsoft Internet Explorer"
I want each of my forms to have their own subject line.
Thanks

Hi
In your form to mail script insert the following just above the actual function to send the mail -
$optional_subject = $_POST['form_subject'];
and $optional_subject in your mail function just before the body info of your email.
Insert an hidden field in your form with the id "form_subject" and the value you wish.

Is it possible for two users on seperate Macs to edit the same iPhoto Library

Hi,
I've recently been on an overseas trip with my partner, and now we have 5000 photos to sort through, tag, and add descriptions for.
Is it possible for us to access the same iPhoto library on each of our Macs to make it faster to sort through the photos? If so, how do I go about setting this up? We have a third mac, might it be better to move the iPhoto Library to that, make it act as server of sorts, and our other two macs as clients?

Yes it is possible, but there are a few caveats.
A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.
Only one of you can access the Library at a time. You can't both be working on the project at the same time.
iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.
Quit iPhoto in both machines. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
On each machine in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both machines will have full access to the library, in fact, both machines will 'own' it.

Best way for multiple users to edit same pics and catalog

Dear All
Please can I pick your brains about how best to arrange things so that my wife and I can edit the same stock of photos (not necessarily simultaneously, which I take it could cause problems).
We will soon have bought (unless advised otherwise!) two Apple MBPs (since we tend after long days at work to edit on the sofa!).
I take the options are roughly: external drives, sticks, cloud, network. In detail …
A. We keep the pics and catalog on an external hard drive which whoever’s editing plugs into their computer. Downside: it’s a bit irritating when editing or showing pics to someone to have to keep an eye to ensure the USB cable doesn’t get knocked out; it’s somehow nicer to be self-contained.
B. Same as A, but using a 512GB or 1TB memory stick instead. Downside: the sticks are still pretty big, so same downside as A, to an extent, and also (is this right?) I’ve been told that memory sticks are relatively unreliable.
C. We keep the pics and catalog in the cloud and wirelessly edit them there. Downside: perhaps impossible, or at any rate too slow?
D. Same as C, but using some sort of on-site server or drive (I’m a bit out of my depth here), perhaps like Apple’s Time Capsule. Downside: perhaps impossible, or at any rate too slow?
Are there other options? For example: is there an option where the pics reside on my MBP’s internal SSD but, in some very easy way I can get them onto an external drive if my wife wants to edit or take them somewhere? (If there is, I should ensure I buy a MBP with a big enough SSD; otherwise, I needn’t worry about that so much.)
Perhaps there’s an option involving smart previews, which I am just beginning to get my mind around?
Any asdvice you have would be MOST welcome.
Thank you.
David

2. Keep the images (unlike the catalog) on a networked drive and edit either (a) them or (b) smart previews of them (stored, I guess, on the computer of whoever is editing them, either my wife's or mine).
Even though I have mentioned this a few times, you do NOT need smart previews if the images are available. It's an extra step, completely optional, done only for speed purposes, and to be honest, if your catalog is on a thumb drive, that may be the speed limitation, not the speed of loading photos. In addition, smart previews are stored with the catalog ... I do not think you can put them on a different drive.
3. Keep the images (unlike the catalog) on my MBP's internal ssd, and network my computer to my wife's so she can access either (a) them there (when I am around) or (b) smart previews of them.
Using the SSD for images is not going to produce speed benefits, other than trivial benefits that you probably can't even notice.
a. I take it 1 would deliver pretty good performance. I sometimes worry that it might seem mad to get an MBP with a fast internal ssd if I then don't use that ssd for images! But I guess the internal ssd will still deliver good speed simply in terms of housekeeping, I take it, even if the machine has to go to a stick for the images. Right?
I remain skeptical that a catalog on a thumb drive would produce "pretty good performance", but I admit that I have not tried. I fail to see what benefit you think you are getting from the SSD, "good speed simply in terms of housekeeping" is a phrase that I am not understanding. Yes, there are benefits to putting operating system and software on an SSD, but that's not what you are talking about, is it?
b. By contrast, I take it that 2 and 3 really would be quite sluggish on the original images option, i.e. if someone were editing original images located on a network drive (whether that's a third drive or my internal drive, with my wife editing them wirelessly). Yes?
No. Here's a major misundertanding on your part. The speed of the drive where the images are stored has little effect on the performance speed of Lightroom. Ian Lyons did a study, read it for yourself. A network drive would not cause performance issues in Lightroom, unless the network was failing to perform. Wireless? Well that's a different story, who knows, you haven't specified what type of wireless or the speed of the wireless
c. But would 2 and 3 work not only better, but pretty well, if the person editing were editing only smart previews?
Possibly, but I reject the premise that 2 and 3 are sluggish because of the location of the photos, it may be sluggish because your catalog is on a thumb drive.
d. Even if so, IF I can get a thumb drive which is bigger for the images, there doesn't seem much point going for 2 or 3, and some point in not doing so, i.e. editing smart previews has its limitations, and on option 3 my wife wouldn't be able to edit when I was travelling (unless we'd taken steps in advance to make smart previews of all the relevant pics)? Or perhaps this last point is wrong? Does LR make smart previews, locally, of ALL pictures in the catalog?
Number 2 is a very reasonable solution, even without smart previews, it is fine if you are accessing photos on a network drive. The speed limitation is the speed of accessing the catalog on the thumb drive.
e. What's the best way of backing up the images? I currently back up the catalog BOTH to dropox and to (yet more) external drives that I then take off-site, to the latter of which I also backup the images. I guess that's the best way? Apple's Timecapsule sounds good but wouldn't get anything off-site. And I take it uploading thousands of raw images to the cloud would be either impossible or costly in terms of time or money?
All backup strategies are best when they are automatic (i.e. don't rely on the human user to remember to do it) and backups must go on a different physical disk than the originals. Many people backup to the cloud, see for example, the commercial service called Carbonite. In your backup strategy for Lightroom, you need to make regular, automated bakcups of the images and also of the catalog file.

Is it possible for one user to use Aperture and another iPhoto?

I have a new imac 21.5", 3.33ghz, 4gb and I was wondering if it is possible for me as admin user to handle camera downloads automatically with Aperture, and my wife as second user to use iPhoto as automatic camera destination? Any comments would be appreciated.

If you want to use the same account there are a number of possibilities:
1. Set both Aperture and iPhoto to Do Nothing when a camera is connected. Then each one can launch their preferred app themselves. It's just one extra click.
2. Use [Cameras|http://www.flexibits.com> to configure what happens when different cameras are connected.

Is it possible for multiple users to use a "generic" account simultaneously without screen sharing?

Hey and thanks for checking out the thread.
I am wondering if it is possible to have users use a generic account at the same time without any sort of screen sharing.
I have set up a generic user account (for example useraccount, password 1234) for users to use in the time before I can set up a custom user name for them. However, I have run into some issues with this.
When multiple users log on using this generic account, their applications seem to be shared on each screen. In the room with multiple Mac workstations, if someone starts working on Photoshop, Photoshop will open on every one elses screen who is logged on under that generic account.
Is it possible for users to log on using a generic network account and have their own isolated work environment or is this sort of sharing a feature? I am new to Mac servers and am not sure.
Thanks for reading the thread.

That shared-account approach seems impractical for the various reasons you've identified, as well as the inevitable issue of cleaning up the detritus that'll inevitably build up in a shared account, and for the lack of accountability for activities occuring under the shared account for both auditing and security, and sharing directories would tend to introduce obscure conflicts around which-file-version-wins file updates when the same file is used in several places, and would probably be contrary to any per-user application software licensing agreements that might be involved.
Put another way, get unique accounts created for folks, and work toward the ability to create accounts for arriving folks, and — if it's applicable here — talk to management about getting any per-user software licensing issues sorted out, whether that's having spare copies purchased and ahead or some advanced notice on accounts, or establishing group software licensing where that's available.
AFAIK, there are tools around which can automate account creation, too. Either generic, a tool such as Passenger, or it's certainly feasible to script the account creation sequence.
Trying this shared-access generic-account approach just looks like it can create more work and more hassles and more effort to me...

Drop Box - possible for other user to monitor progress?

Is it possible, for the user whose Drop Box I am tranferring files to, to monitor the progress so they can tell when an upload is complete to their Mac?
I get the progress window on my end, but they have no idea what is going on on their end.

Pretty difficult, iirc the Filesize required is reserved at the start, so Get Info wouldn't help.
Perhaps they could use Activity Monitor to observe the Network IN activity?
Most likely someway to monitor it with a Script, but beyond me at the moment... Maybe Sharepoints with AFP Monitor!

Organizing entries in link list shall not be possible for standard users

Hello,
how can I avoid that a standard user can organize the entries in the iView <i>Links List</i>?
That means the link 'Organize Entries' shall not be shown for them.
Only the content manager shall be able to organize.
Regards,
Susanne

I got the solution by myself:
In the KM repositories click on the context menue of /documents/links and choose 'Details'.
In the opened window choose Settings > Permissions and change the permission you like.
