Restricting access to metadata field for some people

Hey
Our users have suggested that they would like to restrict the rights to a specific metadata field so that only a few people can do the update. In playing around with this idea, I can see how I might be able to do it through a criteria workflow, but it would be complicated and clunky. Does anyone have any suggestions for other ways of doing this?
Regards,
A

> I was afraid that it might be a customisation.
This one should be quite simple
If I were you I would not bother with metadata editing here. Simply add a new Content Action that will call a service modifying the value for you. Note that you will need two actions: Replicate / Discard replication and those options will display only to those users that are authorized to use them. If you want, you might also perform a security check when the service is called (e.g. if somebody tries to call the service directly, not just use the menu action). However, be aware that since you defined your check as metadata, users without authorization still can modify it, if they switch to Full information during Update.

Reset your password. Be sure your new one meets the requirements for length (8) and characters (at least one upper case and one number).

How do I restrict access at the field level in vendor creation XK01

Hello All,
Does anyone know a way to restrict access to a certain group of fields or a screen in vendor create? I know it is possible in vendor change XK02 using the field groups (transactions OBAT and OBAU) but we have a requirement to have one group of users create all vendor information except the bank details and another group of users just to create the bank details.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
rgds,

We have had a similar discussion some while back. please refer to the thread below as it seems to be much similar to your requirement.

We've just reached our 54th episode and after i uploaded it the podcast it went through to the itunes store... i refreshed my podcast directory and it didnt download to my imacs itunes it also didnt download to my laptops itunes BUT it has downloaded to other subscribers. Ive asked a few people and some have the podcast others dont, the server may have gone downwehn i uploaded it but since then ive deleted of our website and server and reuploaded and i still have the same problem. the podcast is on our website fine and the direct download link is working... its in the itunes store and you can listen to it through the store on itunes but it doesnt seem to be downloading to everybody who has subscribed
i really cant work out what has happened here?
some people have tried subscribing from fresh and it seems to work for them, its just so random!?
episode 54 is the issue. we havent uploaded anymore since as were worried it wont work again but are now getting a backlog of podcast and really need to get them out asap
heres the link to our podcast in itunes> http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/louche-podcast/id318794737
the podcast on our website> http://www.louchemusic.com/podcast/Bicep/
if you need any more info or links to figure it out please let me know?
any help would be massively appreciated!!
thanks : )

It works perfectly well for me, both in the Store and in iTunes when subscribing, so I can't see any reason why it shouldn't work unless you server is sometimes failing to answer requests, or is sometimes so slow that iTunes is timing out.
Your feed is at
http://www.louchemusic.com/wp-content/themes/Louche/rssfeed/louchepodcast.xml
There's nothing in the feed to cause this problem, but it doesn't contain the 'iTunes declaration' at the top or any itunes tags: so though it takes the information from the 'description' tag you will get no image (there is no 'itunes:image' tag) - as you've been running OK for three years you may not feel bothered about this.

Mandatory field FOR SOME PLANTS - batch management - MARC-XCHPF

I know you can force material master fields to be mandatory in SAP. I am not positive that you can force batch management MARC-XCHPF for some of your plants but not all?
plant A - field does not exist
plant B-C - field exists and should always be checked for HALBs

yes you can achive that
first check which field selection key is assigned to your plant
then go to tcode OMS9 and select the field selectin key for your plant and then search the batch manag. field and make it required
3 factors affect the field status
1> matrail type field selection key
2>plant field selection key
3>industry sector filed selection key
as your requirement is plant specific then you need to mak ethe batch. filed mandatory using that

What is the best metadata field for picture TITLE?

Hi -- as stated: what is the best metadata field to use to hold the title of a picture?
I've been using the IPTC field "Title", but:
- I think this is actually used for a person's job title, not the title of a picture, and
- I can't get it to show up in BorderFX (though it does show in Images exported and viewed in Preview)
"Caption" and "Headline" seem to be obvious choices. I'm looking for something is widely used, so that the titles I give my pictures will stay with them and be available to other programs and users after I export the Images from Aperture.
Thanks for you advice!
Kirby.

Correcting myself. After reading the User Guide it appears that the title does go in the Title field, imagine that.
IPTC Core Status section
Title
This field can be used as a shorthand reference for the image or “photograph” — primarily for identification. The title of an image should be a short, human-readable name — text and/or numeric reference —and may take several forms; for photographers this might be the filename of their original scan or digital camera file, for news organizations it might be the name of the story for which it’s to be used. (Note that there are new terms in the IPTC Extension which can also be used as image ID’s, if you are concerned about this field being overwritten later in the workflow). The Title term should not be confused with the Headline term, which is a short synopsis of the content of the photograph. There is a button in the panel which can be used to add the current file name to the Title field; however this will not work with a selection of images.
IPTC Core Content section
Headline
A headline is a brief publishable synopsis or summary of the contents of the photograph. Like a news story, the Headline should grab attention, and telegraph the content of the image to the audience. Headlines need to be succinct. Leave the supporting narrative for the Description field. Do not, however, confuse the Headline term with the Title term.

Custom metadata field for GET_FILE in Content Tracker

Hi ppl,
I've trying to use content tracker to audit some actions including GET_FILE. The problem is that I need to save a custom metadata field that is not in the localdata resultset.
I know that I can save all the custom metadata fields in a column such as EXTFIELD_2 but it makes no sense if I need only one field among a hundred.
Is there any other way?
Appreciate any thoughts.
Cya

Hello,
Can you please share the steps through which I can map my custom metadata fields with the special Content Tracker fields like extField_1, extField_2 etc.
Thanks,
MAK

Messages shows my avatar for some people

I have added Jabber account and sometimes i see that people who i'm talking with have loose their avatar icon and it replaces with mine. Verry annoying to see that. I've tried to remove account and re-create that, but have the same problem, seems something cached inside Messages and i don't know how to reset these caches.
Any one expireicing the same?

I saw your other thread earlier. I didn't have time to make a response about your embed tag. Your using an old html object/embed code for Quicktime. That can be the reason some people can't view you video. Mainly window users.
I took both your poster video and main video and put them into a html that has the new code to be used.
http://www.setfreedenver.org/trashh/
Take a look at the source code and you will see the difference. Also this code uses javascript so people with windows computers can view the video.
I use this program to generate the html for Quicktime. It free! And does a great job in making the html code. PAGEot. http://www.qtbridge.com/pageot/pageot.html
Copy and paste the object/embed tag from the html that PAGEot makes and put that into your html page. Make sure the javascript page travels with the html. Don't forget to copy the javascript tag line from the head.
Using PAGEot: The poster frame goes under the general tab and the main main is set under the advance tab. You have any question ring back.
If the above doesn't fix the problem, it will fix it for window users. Also, to view your video. The viewer need Quicktime 7 installed onto their computer.

Applet loading problem for SOME people

Ive made a java applet that works for me and some other computers:
http://strike.insurrection-games.com/loa2%20test/loa%20test.htm
Unfortunately, for some computers, the status bar shows this message:
"class loa2_t1 not found"
Its not a server problem, because those people experienced the same error when running it from a folder on the hard drive (and yes, that folder contained all class files including loa2_t1)
those same people could play almost all other java applets found all over the internet.
what could be the problem?
(i dont use any jar files, just one folder with all necesary files, it runs perfectly for me)

bbrita,

er_guide/using_tags.html#ie-nav
doesnt work at all, same errorI just tried switching Sun's JVM to be the default browser for IE. This made your applet work.
Thus, I can say with almost 100% certainty that your problem is exactly what we have told you. Those people that are testing your applet and getting an error, do NOT have Sun's JVM installed or it is NOT setup as default JVM for IE.
You need to go back and reread the documentation on how to use the <object> tag properly. Try updating the link that you posted in your first thread to use the <object> tag. Then we may be able to see what you are doing wrong.

Q symbol appears on my site for some people

Hi there,
I am just about to launch my site www.theanimators.com.au but some people who were testing it out got a Q symbol when they tried to play our movie. Just wondering what this might mean and if anyone knows a good way to deal with this.
Thankyou

GetAppletContext().showDocument() won't show local files for some people

Hi,
I have a reporting function that creates a pdf and stores on the users computer in the local temp drive and then displays the created pdf in a new browser window. Everything works fine except for some users it won't show local files. This is a signed applet and everyone has the same policy file. I can't work out why it works for some users and not for others, there doesn't seem to be a pattern in o/s, configurations etc. When i run the code locally on tomcat it works for me but when i upload to server it doesn't. There is no error message either. The pdf is definitely being created as well as you can check it in the temp directory. Code is below:
void btnReport_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
try {
String args[] = {"-pdf"};
File f = File.createTempFile("SCReport", ".pdf");
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(f);
JCPrinter printer = SCPrintManager.getPrinter(args, fos);
if (printer == null) {
System.out.println("Printer is equal to null");
// What has been selected?
SCReport report = new SCReport(printer);
Vector vectSubConsultant = createVectorFromScreenInfo();
if (vectSubConsultant == null)
return;
report.addSectionForSC(vectSubConsultant, true);
SCPrintManager.printDocument(report.getDocument(), printer);
printer.getOutputStream().close();
URL reportURL = f.toURL();
URLConnection con = reportURL.openConnection();
ReDirector().getAppletContext().showDocument(reportURL,"report");
catch (Exception ex) {
System.out.println("Error producing report");
ex.printStackTrace();
}

Did you have any luck? As I am trying to do the same thing...

What are the different metadata fields for in the Metadata presets?

The metadata preset box has a comprehensive array of metadata sections and fields. I just don't know what a lot of them should be used for. Some of them appear to duplicate headings in other fields, albeit with different names.
Can someone tell me what kind of information the following fields are meant for?
Basic Info
Label - I've seen this used for the authors credit. The "Creator" and "Copyright" fields seem to take care of this though. Should it be used for something else?
Copy Name - ?
IPTC Content
Headline - I've read that this is for describing the content. Isn't the "Caption" field in Basic Info for this?
IPTC Subject Code - ?
Description Writer - The author/creator? If not, who?
IPTC Image
Intellectual Genre - Same as "Category"?
ISO Country Code - ?
IPTC Status
Title - This may seem obvious, but the title often appears in the caption.
Job Identifier - I'm assuming this is for applying information pertinent to the author's filing system. If I'm wrong, what is it for?
Instructions - as above?
Provider - Author again?
Source - Author yet again?
I'm sure there will be those who will argue that some or even most fields can be used for whatever information we wish to put in. My point is that they must be there for specific reasons.
Oh yes, before someone points me in the direction of the IPTC website, I've been there already and it was full of gobbledygook!
Thanks in advance.

Also on the IPTC photo metadata site is a more approach able guide to using the fields:
http://www.iptc.org/std/Iptc4xmpCore/1.0/documentation/Iptc4xmpCore_1.0-doc-CpanelsUserGui de_13.pdf
This guide was written for the original 1.0 IPTC Core specification, but I think it covers most of the terms you want to understand better. Specifically, it talks about the different roles the Headline, Title and Description (aka Caption) play as well as the Creator, Source and Provider.
Examples:
Headline:
A headline is a brief publishable synopsis/summary of the contents of the photograph. The Headline term should not be confused with the Title term.
Description:
The Description field, often referred to as a “caption” is used to describe the who, what and why of what is happening in the photograph. If there is a person or people in the image, this caption might include their names, and/or their role in the action that is taking place. If the image is of a location, then it should give information regarding the location....
Here are three other places you might want to look for or ask about how other photographers are using the metadata:
The PhotoMetadata.org web site
http://www.photometadata.org/
David Rieck's ControlledVocabulary.com
http://www.controlledvocabulary.com/
-See Resources > CV Forum to find the Yahoo! groups forum for the site.
Peter Krogh's, the DAM Book site and forum:
http://www.thedambook.com/
http://thedambook.com/smf/index.php
The "Label" field is used to control the colored label that's displayed for the file in Lightroom, Bridge and (when opening multiple files) in the Camera Raw plugin. Both Lightroom and Bridge ship with default values mapped to the six-standard label colors. In Lightroom choose the Metadata > Color Label Set > Edit... to change them. In Bridge, use the Label panel in the Bridge preferences dialog.
You can really use this for whatever you need, but unlike the other terms defined by the IPTC, you should not necessarily expect others to use them for the same thing. Putting the photographer's name there probably doesn't make much sense. I know one Photographer who's assigned the name of a stock agency to each of the label colors so he can track what file was sent to what agency.

IPhoto metadata field for description?

I'm looking for the name of the iptc metadata tag that iPhoto would recognize and import into the description field. I'm writing a script that will move the descriptions from an incompatibly named field from another program.
I initially commented some 20k pictures on my old windows machine in a piece of proprietary canon software called "Zoom Browser." When I imported these into iPhoto, the descriptions were missing. Using ExifTool, I discovered that they were placed in a field called "UserComment" in the JPEGs. I'm hoping that there exists a field that iPhoto would recognize and automatically import into the description field. I tested a file that I labeled with a description in iPhoto, and I couldn't find my test description in ExifTool, so this worries me somewhat.
Thanks in advance!

It's the Caption-Abstract field. I just exported/ writing the Description to the file, then re-imported. This is what Exif tool found on the Exported file:
Upon re-import this was read into the Description field.

New iPhone, love the loo and features, but "crap" for some people...

The mobile phone is a brilliant thing, as I have seen the demo movie... (Well it is unsubtitled, so I just ingore the man who is waffling about the phone, as I just watch the visual item focusing on the iPhone)
It looks really good, eg, the movie, emai, sms, etc, but it becomes a "crap" item, as the Deaf people would like it to have the vibrate alert...
So I dont know if it got vibrate options on this mobile phone???
Also the mobile seems doesn't have the similar fast texting option on the iPhone, like the Nokia Mobile phone which it have the predicable text system, which I use it all the time... But on the iPhone there is a full qwerty keyboard...
So I wondered if it have a option to let me to change the qwerty keyboard to the mobile phone handset keyboard, like number 3 for def and number 4 for ghi, umber 5 for jkl and so go on
It looks really good and I would like to own one, but there is some disavantages as mentioned above for me...
Is there anyone else who have the similar problem as myself?

Really, I did not know that this iPhone have a vibrate alert, as it was not mentioned on the Apple website, Thanks for answering my question, THANKS!!!!
Also thanks for telling me that the keyboard which it have the dictionary and automatically saves which it will memorize the words that I use the most often.
thanks for answering my questions...
So my mind have changed towards this iPhone... I might get one for myself...!
thanks.

Iweb links won't work for some people

Hi! I have recently made a website using iweb and most people have no troubles viewing all my pages (even if they appear slightly different than I designed them). I have gotten emails from a few people, however, saying they can't get to some of my pages.
My website is www.ccforkids.com and the links that are causing troubles are the ones at the bottom of the slings page (sizing, instructions, etc.) there might be others, but these are the ones I have recieved emails about.
Thanks for any help!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

If other people are willing to try a different browser, that seems to be the best solution, yes. Without knowing exactly what isn't working for them, I wouldn't like to say there's nothing else you can do.
For example I find that IE for Mac (no longer supported by MS) doesn't show Apple's comments on blogs, so at the moment I'm using both those comments and iComment. I've also turned off the local iDisk, since that was making the running of both systems unworkable.
