Names for form fields

I am reading up on forms in GL 7 User Guide. This question is ultra-basic but needs to be asked.
When I create a Text field, the Inspector shows a box I can modify that says "textfieldName."
Similarly:
When I create a Text area, the Inspector shows a box I can modify that says "textareaName."
Do I select and replace the entire "textfieldName" and "textareaName"? Or must I leave in the words "textarea" and "textfield" as some sort of code the program needs?
In other words, can I change "textareaName" to "JoeBlow"? Or must it read "textareaJoeBlow"?
Thank you.

You'd replace the whole name. It's a good idea to use names that:
1. Start with a letter
2. Container only alphanumeric characters and underscores
3. Have no spaces or punctuation
...especially if there's JavaScript involved for validating. Here's a PDF tutorial from Michael Ahgren that may be helpful:

How to find table name for the fields from Standard Extractor in CRM system

How to find table name of fields from the standard extractor in CRM system ?
e.g. We use LBWE TCode in R/3 system to find table name for the field from Extractor VCSCL(e.g.).
Likewise is there any way to find table name for the fields from Standard extractor like 0CRM_LEAD_I.

Hi ,
Please find the link below for understanding BW CRM analysis.
http://help.sap.com/bp_biv135/html/bw.htm
activate the CRM DSs by scenario:
1) Activate the application component hierarchy (tcode RSA9). Changes made to the application component hierarchy in the CRM system can be transferred to the BW using the "Edit Application Component Hierarchy" (SBIW - Postprocessing of DataSources).
SAP Note 434886 must be implemented in CRM 3.0 before the application component hierarchy is activated.
2) Activate the Business Content DataSources (tcode RSA5).
Select/enter the application component and choose Execute (F8).
To compare the shipped and active versions, choose the 'Select Delta' pushbutton. If there is no active version of the DataSource, it is selected automatically.
To activate the shipped version, choose the 'Transfer DataSources' pushbutton.
3) Management of the versions of the BW-Adapter metadata (tcode BWA5). All DataSources are displayed that are managed by the BW Adapter.
As in transaction RSA5 (Service API Metadata Activation), the 'Select Delta' function can be used to select the inactive DataSources or compare shipped and active versions.
You can also go directly to the screen for maintaining DataSources that are managed by the BW Adapter.
The 'Compare Version' function makes a detailed comparison of the shipped and active versions.
All BW-Adapter metadata is considered when versions are compared:
Header information (Table SMOXHEAD)
Mapping information (Table SMOXRELP)
Global selection conditions (Table SMOXGSEL)
Attribute key fields (Table SMOXAFLD)
Hope this helps.

Actions tab for form field properties

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WSDFC888F9-219C-4b55-90E6-D316E2A85F08.w.htm l

I am working in Acrobat. I trying to create a form dealers will complete and submit. There will be no licensing issues. I have created a button and named it SUBMIT. In the Actions tab I have selected “Submit a form.” I have entered “mailto:[email protected]” under “Enter a URL for this link”. I have also selected “PDF The complete document” as the Export Format.
I saved the file but when I go to the Preview Mode and click the new “Submit” button, I am asked to “Save PDF as” from a menu. Even if I rename the file and click save, nothing happens. I am back in the Preview mode. If I click “Submit” again, I get the same “Save PDF as” routine.
I am baffled.

Hi Subbu,
its very difficult to find out the BAPI useing the fileds .
At least you should know the Technical name of your BAPI when you are developing the application.
If you dont know the BAPI name then how can you map it to ur VC user and get the Data.
I think u got my point

Hi mark chalfen,

Setting default value for form field assoc with a table column

On a "Create Record" situation I was trying to set the default values of some form fields using a page level "Process". These form fields have Source Type = Database Column. It wasn't working, I could only set non-db assoc form field values no matter when the "Process" was set to exec. From some other posts it seems that this is by design, ie. not being able to programatically set the initial values of form fields that are sourced to db columns. I was hoping to have just one "Process" that would exec to set these initial values in one place rather than scattered about for each field that needed a default value. These particular default values come from ref tables and may be different for each user.
So, it looks like I have to use a "Default Value" plsql chunk for each field on the form itself or else set their value on the calling form's Redirect in the "Set these Items" area.
Is this correct?

You could define a database function which accepts the name of the item and the user ID of the user running the application. Based on the item name and the user ID have the function return the appropriate initial value. Invoke this function in a "Default Value" PL/SQL block.
Does that help in centralizing your initial values? You could have one function per page or one function per application. I would do one function per application.

Changing CSS for form field elements?

Hi,
Is there a way we can change the CSS for Form text fields in APEX 4.1 so that they look a little better? Or is the .css file located somewhere where we can just go and change?
Thanks,
Sun

Hi,
If you are referring to changing the CSS properties then you can do that.
Add /override styles to the page item's HTML Form Element Attributes
style="<cssproperty1>:<value1>;<cssproperty2>:<value2>;"
e.g.
style="background-color:red;color:yellow;"Red/yellow is certainly not "looking better", the idea is to give you the direction.
If you know the class of the item(s) then you can change the styles by overriding the built-in style of the template by adding the <style> in the Page HTML
Header as well.
Or, define your own class, add the class to the HTML Form Element Attributes field and adding the style in the Page HTML Header.
regards,
