Is there any way to create fields reports users can enter data into?

I am using Crystal XI to develop reports for my company and have not received any formal training on it.  I'm learning it fairly well through the help files. 
One of the reports I need to create summarizes our scrap, rework, and additional incurred expenses for our monthly quality reports.  Most of the information is stored in the main program used by all employees, a very small amount of it is not.  I have created sub-reports for each of the different types of costs that are tracked in the system.
Is there any way to create an area on the report that our QA people can use to enter the items not tracked in the main system?  I am imagining that it would be through another sub-report of some kind, but do not know how to create the fields needed. 
Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide, even if it is to tell me "You can't do that, ma'am..."  At least then I would know and wouldn't beat my head against the desk trying to figure out how to do it.

Is defining parameter prompts in the Crystal Report and displaying it in the report a possible workaround? 
If you define parameter prompts, then Crystal will query the user before running the report - so this would be problematic if the user needs to reference data in the report to enter appropriate values (one possibility then is to use interactive parameters feature available in CR 2008).
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

  • 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.

  • Is there any way to create admin role only for one resource.

    Hi all,
    I am trying to create an admin role with 'update user' capability. But I want to restrict the user(with the admin role) to be able to update a user's attribute only for one resource, The user(with the admin role) should not be able to update the attributes of the other resources which a user have.
    Is there any way to create admin role only for one resource?
    I customized the tabbed user form to show only one resource attribute (deleting the missing fields and adding my tab for the resource) and then assigned this new User Form to the user(with the admin role) in security tab.
    It works fine. But the problem is that if any user(with the admin role) is also admin of some other resource then he/she will not be able to view the other resource attributes.
    Please suggest,
    thanks

    The loop function always repeats the same region so of course the fade is also copied. So option+drag the original region to make a (non clone) copy, fade the first region and loop the second one (which you just copied).

  • Is there any way to create a HTTP_AAE Receiver without a path in NW PO 7.31

    Hi ,
    Does anyone know how to create a HTTP_AAE Receiver without a path??
    We are in a phase of migrating Interfaces from PI 7.1 to PO 7.31(Java Only).
    For one of the Interface in PI 7.1 there is a RFC Destination for vendor communication through HTTPS connectivity  :
    TargetHost: IP Address
    Post: value
    Path Prefix: Blank
    During migration  requirment is to keep the Path field BLANK of the Communication Channel,however since  PO has mandatory path field   a "/" is been provided, because of which data post fails.
    PI:  https://IP:9443
    PO:  https://IP:9443/  (Since Path Prefix is mandatory)
    As per my understanding The data is supposted to be posted directly to the IP (https://IP:9443) however it is getting posted to (https://IP:9443/) where the service is not available. For Reference attached relevant screenshots.
    Is there any way to  create a HTTP_AAE Receiver without a path. Need ardent support and suggestions
    regarding this.
    Regards

    Hi,
    For Service auto- PO from PR, you need to activate Automatic Purchase order creation for Service requisitions in ML91 t.code.
    Note:
    For material :automatic PO creation from PR, follow the steps.
    1) Material Master purchasing view tick automatic PO check box
    2) Vendor Master purchasing view tick automatic PO check box.
    3) Maintain Source list for Vendor & Material.(ME01)
    4) Maintain Purchase Info Record.(ME11)
    5) Create a Purchase Requisition.(ME51)
    6) Use T.Code: ME59 & execute for PR for vendor, you will be able to create automatic PO.
    During creation of PR , select check box of Source Determination in the 1st screen of ME51
    Ensure that Purchase Info Record should be there.
    If you have more than one vendor then fixes only one vendor in source list.

  • Is there any way to create a setup file Like Visual Basic

    Hi,
    I want to create a setup file of all developed foms and reports to install them to desireable location, is there any way to create a setup file in oracle, Like Vb.
    Raza

    I believe there is something from Oracle but it was frustratingly buggy when I used it a few years back and only worked via the Oracle installer.
    Personally, I'd recommend something like Innosetup, which is freeware and a Windows-style installer much like InstallShield etc. so it'll create an executable setup file probably OK if they've already got the Oracle Runtime components installed.

  • Is there any way to create a style sheet in APEX?

    Hi experts,

    Is there any way to create a style sheet in APEX any version?
    I want to create a style sheet and use APEX report column link to it.
    Thanks.

    Well, if that is the case, then you'll need to do some PL/SQL programming to write a package to create all of that for you, then execute the package when the 'link' column is clicked.
    After your package is written, change the attributes on your link column to be a URL instead of page in your application and call it like:
    javascript:{MypopUp2('http://your.server.name/print/owner.package_name.sub_procedure?key=#COL01#',800,600);}
    On my system, I created a new DAD and user just for this one purpose, to read an select the information in my report, generate the HTML to display the data, etc. without leaving a loophole someone could exploit to get direct data manipulation access. My report though is a form-type report of all the data from about 40 tables for that one 'master' record, with css formatting included. I'm not directly generating a css file based upon data within the database, but simply adding the css formatting into the HTML file my package generates.
    Does this help your problem?

  • Is there any way to create a VMvmare server cluster?

    Hi,
    I have two machines which don't support install ESXi, these machines are running centos 5 with no X and I installed vmware server 2.0.
    My question is, is there any way to create a vmware server cluster like is possible create in ESX?
    I know in ESX once you create a cluster, the resources are increased since resources are added. Is there any way to do same thing with vmware server 2.0?
    Also is there any other option for my machines, I don't want to install X since the machines don't have much resource.
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the COmmunit - With VMware server each environment functions independently and there is no way to pool resources as you can with a DRS cluster - and remembering even in a DRS cluster the VMs swill only run on a single host at a time as they would in VMware Server machines/
    Also just because it is not suppported does not mean you will not be able to create a VM with an unsupported OS -

  • Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created?

    Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created?  I have created an executable application that I want to distribute to Mac and Linux users (different applications were created in the respective OS).  I was wondering if there is any way to create an installer?  I think there probably isn't...  If the user were to simply download the Labview Run-time Engine from ni.com would they be able to run the application or is it more complicated than that?
    Thanks so much for your time.

    I think Shane tried to say, that it is on the Mac OS X installation DVD, NOT the LabVIEW for Mac OS X installation medium. And that could very well have changed in recent Mac OS X versions as well. They used to have Xcode on it too, but that seems gone as well.

  • Is there any way to create a wifi hotspot for my macbook using my IPad?, Is there any way to create a wifi hotspot for my macbook using my IPad?

    I am going to a lake cabin in Northern Minnesota for a week and need to get wifi for my Mac.  Is there any way to create a wifi hotspot using my Ipad so that I have internet service for my laptop?

    No, iPad can become a hot spot, but if you have an iPhone, it can tether if you have a data plan that incudes the tethering option.  With AT&T for example, you can add tethering for $20 month or for $45/month, you receive tethering and 4GB of data per month.  If you have the unlimited data plan from AT&T you'll unfortunately have to give it up if you want to tether.  You can also go to almost any carrier and purchase a MiFi unit which may work for you.  Whether iw will work in Northern Minnesota is something only your carrier could answer.

  • Is there any way to create a system-wide variable?

    Hello IDM gurus.
    Is there any way to create rarely changing system wide variables that can be loaded at system startup that will be available to all users? For example, at IDM system startup, the variables would be read from configuration or generic objects and live in memory for ALL users as opposed to each workflow/user having to read the same variables when the workflow is run.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    That may very well be the answer I'm looking for. Is there a way for that to be available within the entire application instead of having to read it in each workflow?

    3D communication is good but sometime we don't want the receiver to be able to study every components in model.
    or any way to make the receiver cannot use model tree and measurement tool ????
    Thank you very much

    You can remove the assembly tree by doing a roundtrip in 3D Toolkit, here's how:
    - start Acrobat 3D
    - drag & drop a CAD file
    - click on 3D Annot to activate
    - right-click on 3D
    - select 'Edit in 3D Toolkit'

  • Is there any way, to create with Adobe Muse HTML-Mail Templates?

    Is there any way, to create with Adobe Muse HTML-Mail Templates? or to convert the createt page to only html content? any other tool like an website copyer?
    tanks for help!

    Off the top of my head, you should be able to create mail templates in muse BUT it will require  very basic html/css knowledge on your part. I am assuming you want to do just the signature?
    Create the design you would like on one page, dont do any kind of styling in a master page. Then export the site into a folder. Open the html file with notepad/ textedit and then copy just the code for JUST the template. Throw it in you mail app of choice and it should work.
    This seems like something that would be done alot quicker in dreamweaver in design view.
    PLEASE NOTE: ^i could be completely wrong - but in theory this may work.
