Using a Table as a Default Value in a Custom List

Hi,
I am trying to create a list for users to fill out that utilizes multiple tables for data entry. I would like to set the table to be the default value for the field in order to have consistency across submissions and for ease of use. I have tried using HTML
code for the table as well as copying the HTML markup from inserted tables in the field but I have been unable to generate a table in the field by default. I have tried this in both the web based editor and Sharepoint Designer 2010.
Thanks!

Hi aelawler,
Which type field did you use for storing the table? Please try to create a site column using Publishing HTML type or Enhanced rich text, and add the column to the list, use it to store the table. Test it using your method, compare the result.
Here is a post about setting default value for enhanced rich text, please pay attention to Amit's reply:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/a6b5614d-ae45-4e2f-af0e-7e1887b05f60/set-default-value-to-enhanced-rich-text-box?forum=sharepointcustomizationprevious
If it doesn’t work, I think, you need to create a custom field type to store the table, and set default value for it. You can try to create it based on the Publishing HTML or Enhanced rich text type.

How to use one variable as a default value for another variable?

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to use one variable as a default value for another variable?
For example:
Variable 1 = current calendar year month
Variable 2 = mandatory input ready variable for calendar year month
I want to use variable 1 as default value for variable 2, but also have the ability to change the month if required.
Thanks!

Steps I have done so far:

That AM is attached to the Page. The page consists of employeed details and SAVE button.

I checked with System.out.println(getattribute("my attr").toString()). It send output correctly.
But y other values are not inserted.?

In VO i havent added anythig xcept the query.
The following fields are only getting inserted in the table.
My EOImpl code:
public void create(AttributeList attributeList) {
super.create(attributeList);
System.out.println("NOW I AM IN CREATE METHOD");
OADBTransaction transaction = getOADBTransaction();
Number EMP_ID = transaction.getSequenceValue("Employeeid");
setEmpId(EMP_ID);
setCreationDate(transaction.getCurrentDBDate());
setStartDate(transaction.getCurrentDBDate());

public void saveForm()
OAViewObjectImpl empvo = getEMP_VO();
System.out.println("NOW I AM IN AM SAVEFORM OF EMTS");
if ( !empvo.isPreparedForExecution())
empvo .executeQuery();
Row prow = empvo .createRow();
empvo .insertRow(prow);

System.out.println("NOW I AM IN ROW CREATED");
public void commitdata()
System.out.println("commitMethod()") ;
getDBTransaction().commit();
CO:PR & PFR:
public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)

if(!pageContext.isFormSubmission())
pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).invokeMethod("saveForm",null);
public void processFormRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
OAApplicationModule EMP_AM = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
OAViewObject vo = (OAViewObject)EMP_AM.findViewObject("EMP_VO");
if ( pageContext.getParameter("BtnSave") != null )
pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean).invokeMethod("commitdata");
s1 = (String)vo.first().getAttribute("Empname");
s12 = (String)vo.first().getAttribute("Emptype");
s3 = (String)vo.first().getAttribute("Emporg");
s4 = (String)vo.first().getAttribute("Empcity");
System.out.println(" values are " + s1+s2+s3+s4);
here i can get the values correctly printed in output as entered in the form.
I dont know where the problem is.

Default value of BeX customer Exit variable not Displayed in WeBI??

Hello Experts,
We are stuck with a problem where WeBI report is created on top of BeX query and we are not able to see the default value of Bex Customer exit variable in WeBI run. Here is the complete scenario:
1. One restricted KF is created in BeX, restricted with Customer exit variable on net Due date. And this variable is mandatory, ready for input, and Default value in calculated is user exit as current Week's Monday.
2. So, by default KF data should be restricted to Monday of current week, if user does not change this value.
3. Now, WeBI report is created on top of this Bex query, and all is working fine, i.e. we are getting variable as Prompt in WeBI, but Default value is not shown while Running the Webi Report.
So, need your inputs on the same, if default values from BeX in WeBI is supported or not? If yes, why this is happening, and how to resolve it?
Please notice, the restrcition is in KF only, it is not a separate restrcition on Net Due date in Filter area or in Defualt area of BeX
and we are on SAP BW 7.1 and BOXI 3.1 SP4.
Regards,
Vipul

Hi,
See 1285993 - Support of Customer Exit Variables from BEx query into WebIntelligence via OLAP universe
WebI will prompt when executed, but the default values calculated by the user exit - do not appear.
Note: If the BEx variable has property 'ready for input' set / enabled, then its WebI prompt shows ok, but no default value appears.
Cause
This behaviour expected 'by design' (in the context of the product's current limitations) as explained in the online guide below:
Please refer to Chapter 7, page 44, document link here: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf
Characteristic variable > processing type > Customer Exit is "Supported, without user entry"
--> This should be understood as meaning "User will not be shown a prompt"

Using a Sql Result in Default Value of Dashboard Prompt

Hi,
I Create a Dashboard Prompt, this have two dates, the initial and the last for a period to filter. I need to set the default value in the fist and last date of the previous month, for example, if today is 20th of november the default value of initial date has been 1th of October and the last date has been 31th of october.
I used in default the option 'SQL Results' and use the next sentences:
SELECT TRUNC(add_months(sysdate, -1), 'MM') FROM dual;
SELECT TRUNC(last_day(add_months(sysdate, -1))) from dual;
But when I try to use the dashboard prompt the result is:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27002] Near <(>: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] . (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT TRUNC(add_months(sysdate,-1),'MM') FROM dual
When I try to use only select sysdate from dual; the result is:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27004] Unresolved table: "dual". (HY000)
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help. Finally I solve this issue of
this form:
1. I Create a Initialization Block with the next
sentences:
SELECT TRUNC(add_months(sysdate, -1), 'MM')
INITIAL_DATE ,TRUNC(last_day(add_months(sysdate,
-1))) END_DATE, To_char(TRUNC(add_months(sysdate,
-1), 'MM'), 'YYYYMM') PERIOD FROM dual;
2. Then I Create three Repository Variables and
assign the Initialization Block to this
3. In the Dashboard Prompt I use the "Server
Variable" Option in the default and call the three
variables.
Thanks again

Using a trigger to set default values

Hi
Does anyone know of a way to set a default value of a column in Oracle trigger code? I am trying to write an on Update trigger to set the default value of a column in a relationship when the parent is updated.
Thanks
Mike

Solution :
Suppose you have 2 tables, Emp and Dept,
In this case Dept is parent and emp
is child.
So if you update parent (change deptno
from 20 to 21 , then you want the same
to be reflected in emp table i-e all the
record in emp table having the deptno as 20
now should have 21.
Create trigger upd_emp
after update on dept
begin
update emp
set deptno = :new.deptno
where deptno = :old.deptno;
end;
Hope this helps

How can I use today's date as default value in query string filter web part in SharePoint

I have a query string filter on my web part page. I am trying to figure out how I can set it's default value to Today? I can't find anything online...

Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to set a default value to the Query String Filter Web Part.
It would not be able to set default value to the Query String Filter Web Part with the OOTB features available.
By default, with a Query String Filter Web Part in the current page, we can filter other web part in the same page by adding parameters and values in the address bar
of browser.
If setting the “Query String Parameter Name” of a Query String Filter Web Part as “t”, then we can filter the corresponding connected web part by inputting such an
URL into the address bar:
http://sharepoint/SitePages/Page1.aspx?t=value1
Suppose you want to filter the list view with a value dynamically when user opens this page, as a workaround, we can generate an URL with the parameters needed when
page loaded, then redirect user to this URL afterwards. This can be achieved using JavaScript.
About how to redirect user to other page with an URL:

Use system console with editable default value

Hi,
Is it possible in java (or maybe groovy) to ask user for input in console with default value passed? User should be able to edit the default value or commit it by pressing enter key.
Sample:
<CONSOLE> Enter type: TYPE1<cursor>
if user hits enter key the TYPE1 is passed to application, when user hits backspace the TYPE1 is edited. Any ideas?

Opal wrote:
if user hits enter key the TYPE1 is passed to application, when user hits backspace the TYPE1 is edited. Any ideas?For java it would need to look more like the following
<CONSOLE> Enter type[enter for default 'TYPE1']: <cursor>
I suspect that generally users will not be editing the default, so although you can't do it, it isn't much of a loss.

Set Default Value of Multi-select list item

I have a multi-select list item I want to default the value of to '%' (which is really '%null%') and have it selected. I tried setting default value of item, but it doesn't take '%null%'. I also tried a computation with a static of
:P507_ITEM := '%null%'; How do you get the default value set and selected?

Hi
Shijesh is right, you need to change your null return value and use that return value as your default. Try and use something of the same datatype as your real return values if you plan to use '%' to display all as it will make your queries simpler. eg.
Company A returns 1
Company B return 2
% returns 0
Then your query would be...
SELECT ...
FROM ...
WHERE company_id = DECODE(:P_COMPANY,1,1,2,2,0,company_id)
Hope this makes sense.
Cheers

Unable to create table with column default value with date interval

Please help to create table with calculated date defaullt value:
CREATE TABLE emp (
birth_date DATE DEFAULT sysdate + interval '3' day NOT NULL
or
CREATE TABLE emp (
some_date DATE,
birth_date DATE DEFAULT some_date NOT NULL
or
CREATE TABLE emp (
some_date DATE,
birth_date DATE DEFAULT some_date + interval '3' day NOT NULL
below syntax error:
TT1001: Syntax error in SQL statement before or at: "+"

I'm afraid this is not possible; as per the SQL Reference, TimesTen only supports 'constant expressions' for the DEFAULT clause and none of these are constant expressions.

Table Control with default values for a Column

Hi,
I have a table Control with fields kschl    kbetr    konwa    mark
i have created a range for KSCHL
now i need to pass this to the table column
Kindly suggest how can i handle this?
BEGIN OF y_condition,
kschl       TYPE kscha,
kbetr       TYPE kbetr_kond,
konwa       TYPE konwa,
mark        TYPE char1,
END OF y_condition,
t_cost TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF y_condition,
MODULE mo_tc_cost_init OUTPUT.
IF w_tc_cost_c IS INITIAL.
    REFRESH CONTROL c_tc_cost FROM SCREEN c_scr2000.
    REFRESH t_cost.
    MOVE c_select TO w_tc_cost_c.
    FREE r_kschl.
    MOVE: c_i    TO r_kschl-sign,
          c_eq   TO r_kschl-option,
          c_zhb1 TO r_kschl-low.
    APPEND r_kschl.
    MOVE: c_i    TO r_kschl-sign,
          c_eq   TO r_kschl-option,
          c_zhb2 TO r_kschl-low.
    APPEND r_kschl.
    MOVE: c_i    TO r_kschl-sign,
          c_eq   TO r_kschl-option,
          c_zhb3 TO r_kschl-low.
    APPEND r_kschl.
ENDIF.

Can you clarify please?... you say have a table control containing the following columns:
kschl TYPE kscha,
kbetr TYPE kbetr_kond,
konwa TYPE konwa,
mark TYPE char1
so where do you expect the range table "r_kschl" to appear? ... did you want a second table control on the screen?

How to add a default value in a prompt list?

I have a prompt list that I'm getting from the database, I want to add a deafult value in the top of the list. Ei "ALL", my current list is:
"AMERICAS"
"EMEA"
"ASIA"
I want a list like:
"ALL"
"AMERICAS"
"EMEA"
"ASIA"
This is the code I have:
@Select(Country Region\Regionname)IN @Prompt('Enter the region','A',{'All'}distinct 'Country Region\Regionname',Multi,Constrained)
It is displaying only "All". Does someone know how to merge text with a database list in a promp variable?
Thank you!
Marcela

please find this post
i've solved this problem with someone before
Optional User prompt
ok, lets get back to our problem
since you are in sybase databases i dont know weather there is a DUAL table like oracle or not,
anyway forget about it and follow those steps
1. import the universe to the desginer
2. Right Click any empty space on the Stage to Create a derived table.
3. Give The derived table any Dummy Name lets say "ALL_table"
4. write a small SQL statment in the derived table "Enter SQL Expression"
select 'ALL' from anytable you have in the database.
lets say the countries table itself
SELECT 'ALL' FROM USER.COUNTRIES
validate the SQL and Click ok.
5.you will have a derived table called "ALL_table" with field name "ALL"
6.Drag the Field Name ALL to the Same Class whicn you "Country Name" in.
7.Get back to your "Country Name" Dimension and Double Click it to get its properties, then go to the Properties tab.
8.in the peroperties tab. "Associate List of Values" ,, Click "Edit" Button.
9.you will find your "Country Name" Dimension, click "Combine Queies" icon in the bar, to have another queries union with the first one.
10. you will have another query with "U" beside itm Drag the "ALL" dimension in it, and remove the "Country Name"
so you will have 2 union queries one with the "Country Name" and another on with "ALL"
gooooooood.
11.Click "Save and Close"
12.Check Export with universe and "Automatically Refresh before use"
13.now you can hide the "ALL" dimension we have created before, to make it invisible for the users. (do you have problem hiding this dimension?)
14.export your universe
15.open WebI
16.Create Report on this universe.
17.put the "Country Name" Dimension on the filter and make it prompt,
18.Run the query,
19. tell me what you see?
good luck

How to add default values when adding custom component to design view?

I have a set of custom components (usually) extending Spark components. But when adding our custom component onto design view, how can I define defult values (in AS3).
For example, s:Button has default label = 'Button' when added to application, or mx:DataGrid has 3 columns predefined, but when using custom components there are no predefined values like this.
I can put this values in constructor, but they are not visible in design time, only runtime.
Any ideas? Thanks
Esmin

yes, I am. By the way I've found the solution. Someone might find this usefull.
In design.xml having
<component name="ExtendedTextInput" namespace="mynamespace" category="beta" displayName="ExtendedTextInput"/>
use this
<component name="ExtendedTextInput" namespace="mynamespace" category="beta" displayName="ExtendedTextInput">
<defaultAttribute name="text" value="ExtendedTextInput"/>
</component>
so when adding this component to design view, it will have text setted to value ('ExtendedTextInput' in this case).

Want to remove the default value of a column in a table

HI
I have a table called User_ind. This table columns have default values as 'n' like
create table user_ind(
ind_num varchar2(1)
,group_allowed varchar2(1) default 'y'
,view_allowed varchar2(1) default 'y'
now i want to remove the default values How can i procede with this.
Urgent .
Thanks in advance.
Chaitanya.

In Oracle 9i you cannot remove the DEFAULT, you can only change it to null:
alter table user_ind modify group_allowed varchar2(1) default null
You can check it using this one:
select table_name,column_name,data_default
from user_tab_columns
where table_name = 'USER_IND'
