11g write-back drop down box

Hi, I have enabled write back in OBIEE 11g dashboard. I would like to know if it is possible to create a drop down box within the write-back enabled column?

I realize this is a very old thread, but I was hoping there was a way to do this.
I would like to enable write-back to an a table we use to track running processes. I would like to be able to update the status to either 'COMPLETE' or 'INCOMPLETE'. The programs can change theses statuses to anything meaningful, but I only want those two values as options for write-back.
Is this even possible?

How can I go BACK to the site I was at, say, 5 site previous or forward without hitting the BACK arrow 5 times? The previous version had a drop down box with a list of previous sites I could click on.

It can take a while to go back by hitting the back arrow again and again. The previous version had a drop down box that listed nine or ten previous URLs. This allowed me to pick out which one I wanted by clicking on that URL. Version 4 doesn't have this feature or, if it does, I cannot find it. Is this capability on Version 4, and if so, how can I find it?

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.

My drop-down list won't appear anymore so every time I want to go to a new site I have to type it in where before my drop-down box would appear and I could just click it and hit search and go there how do I make my drop-down box come back

somehow I must've clicked a button that took away my drop down box when I go to use my Google search so different sites that I go to a lot I would always just click it when the drop-down box came up I would click again and hit search and you would bring that page up but even if I go to a site once I leave that I try to click and make the drop-down box come up again with the new search and it nothing happens so the problem is I need my drop down box to come back up to all the places that I visit kind of like a history of like I said I would just click and it would come up by itself now the drop-down box won't come up anymore so I need somebody to tell me what to do to bring my drop-down box back also I am new to computers so I don't know a lot so don't be real technical thanks for the help merry Christmas from Joe

It's not a matter of me assuming to restore it, once the error comes up, the only next step I can do is to restore it. I can't access any of the iphones settings in itunes or anything, it's a mandatory restore. If I just cancel the sync (before restoring) and disconnect the phone, all my apps crash on opening: aka unusable phone. So I have literally no choice but to restore every time the error shows up if I want my phone to work.
I have no idea where I may have duplicate files as it doesn't tell me, so if that is the problem (which I don't think it is) then I don't know where I have to go to delete the duplicates.
And the duplicate file error still doesn't explain why leaving iTunes to restore the phone doesn't work and me having to drag the window around. I know it sounds utterly ridiculous, my friend didn't believe me when I told him either but then I showed him and he was as confused as I am. If I just leave the restore to do its own thing at it's own pace, it will loa maybe 20% then fail for whatever reason.

Somehow I lost the drop down box to put the e-mail address in for the "Submit by Email" button. How do I get that back?

Awesome. I REALLY appreciate this. Everything you said directed me to do all the right things. Thanks again. It really is nice not to have to type in my e-mail each time I log in to my frequently-visited sites.

Arrow icons back/forward, where is drop down box?

version 4, I use the back & forward arrows a lot, what happened to the drop down box, where I could go back using the list on the drop down?
much faster than hitting the back icon over and over?

You can get the drop down list by either right-clicking on the back/forward buttons, or holding down the left button until the list appears.

Linking TextFields to Drop Down Boxes and selections back to subforms

I suppose I have two separate questions here.
#1 - I would like to have a drop down box auto populate based on a text field in a repeating sub-form.
For instance, I have a "Loan Info Subform" with the loan number text field on it that can be repeated on the same form and I have a "collateral subform" where I would like to have the choice of which loan number within the form the collateral belongs to.
Is this possible?
And if so, question #2
I have a "FairMarket Value of Collateral" decimal field on the Collateral Subform that I would like to autopopulate back into the proper Loan Info Subform, based upon the choice in the drop down list.
Make sense?
Thank you in advance for your help!!

So hopefully you can see this, if not, I will re-vamp.
Does this help?
Essentially the loan form and the collateral form can be repeated and I would like to link them together.

When I want to go back a page the drop down box is filled with the current page, all earlier sites have disappered out of sight

When I have been at a site for a while and decide to go back, when I use the drop down box it has filled with the current page location. The longer I am there the more times it repeats its self.

Did you try Safe Mode?
An extension may be responsible for adding up those entries of the same page.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.

HT4864 The Outgoing Mail Server drop down box in mail setup keeps reverting back to 'None' - anyone have any ideas why?

Hi
I've been having difficulties with mail on my Mac and have checked all the settings. I have three mail accounts, 2 iClouds (different acct names) and 1 bigpond account.
Whenever I change the outgoing mail server drop down boxes for the iCloud accts and save my changes, I go out of it then when I go back to the iCloud accts the drop down boxes for both iCloud accounts have reverted back to 'None'.
Is this of any relevance? Is it 'normal'?
I've tried deleting all mail accounts and adding them all again but the same thing still happens.
I have been on Apple Support and followed the Mail Acct setup tutorial.
I'd appreciate any help on this matter thanks.

Thanks for your reply Winston Churchill.
Because I'd been having problems which had recently been resolved by AppleCare Support I decided to go through all my accounts and check their individual settings. I found a Tutorial on Apple support for setting up or verifying email account settings and found mine were different so I changed it.
In any event I took your advice and just went with the option of automatically setting the iCloud accounts up and I haven't had anymore problems thus far - fingers crossed.
I do however note that my drop down box in account settings still says 'none' for the outgoing mail server and the 'use this server only' check box isn't ticked despite being ticked in the 'verify account' info on the tutorial, so hence my question to the community - did this matter and what was the difference?
I will let sleeping dogs lie I think and will see how I go.
Many thanks for your help.

My Firefox drop down box located in the upper left hand corner is no longer there. How do I get it back

The only thing that appears above is the URL and the tabs that have been open. I have no other bars across the top of the screen. I especially need the Firefox Box in the left hand corner which includes commands to print, commands to bookmark a page, commands to clear History.

Hi,
Enabling / disabling the '''Menu Bar''' via '''View''' ('''Alt '''+ '''V''') > '''Toolbars''' alternates between the Firefox drop down box and the menu bar. To temporarily view the menu bar after the Firefox drop down box is activated, press '''Alt''' or '''F10'''.

I was trying to figure out how to stop my pinned apps from disappearing after I've shut-down my computer during storms. In the process of trying things I lost the Orange Firefox drop down box in the upper left corner. How do I get it back?

Question 1 - How do I restore the Orange Firefox drop-down box that was originally at the top of the screen.
Question 2 - How do I undo the last command I changed
Question 3 - How do I prevent my pinned apps from disappearing. I have about 10 loaded and it's a pain to have to reload those several days a week. Seems to only happen if I shut down the computer.

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden.
*View > Toolbars > Customize
*Right-click a toolbar).
*Press F10 or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily if the Menu Bar is hidden.
Make sure that you do not use "Clear Recent History" to clear the "Browsing History" when Firefox is closed because that prevails and prevents Firefox from opening tabs from the previous session.

What do you mean with Question 2: ''How do I undo the last command I changed'' ?
Which last command are you referring to?

How to get ALL values as default for a drop down box in JSF

Hi,
I have a drop down box in JSF page which retrieves values from LOVCache.java. I have values like Company, Client, User, ALL in the drop down box.
By default blank value is selected for the drop down box. I want to make ALL(which retrieves data for all the values) as default value for the drop down box.
Could any body help me? Any help must be appreciated.
Thanks,
Aseet

Thanks Nikhil. But I am fetching the values from the LOVCache.java.
I am using <af:selectManyChoice>. Is there any way I can use LOVCache.java value for selecting default values instead of hard coding?
I mean to say can I write
unselectedLabel="#{LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList.anyValue}"
where LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList is used to populate the drop down box.
Regards,
Aseet

For this case.. Create one table control. you can select one record and create record in the Z table by pressing button on Application toolbar..
Check the following steps to handle Table control.
1).
U should take one variable in your internal table or in structure which
is used for table control fields
ex :
data :
begin of itab occurs 0 ,
    mark type c , "This is to select the record.
    matnr like mara-matnr ,
    matkl like mara-matkl,
    maktx like makt-maktx,
end of itab .
Controls: TABC types TABLEVIEW using screen 100.
2).
This mark variable should be given in Table control properties.
follow the path
double click on the table control-->attributes .->select
w/SelColumn and in that itab-mark. Check in the figure.
[Table control properties screen|http://bp2.blogger.com/_O5f8iAlgdNQ/R99gOUH8CXI/AAAAAAAAA9I/d3gOum1fJ6s/s1600-h/pic28145-796618.jpg]
3).
After that. Take this example.
PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT.
MODULE STATUS_0100.
LOOP AT ITAB WITH CONTROL tabc
ENDLOOP.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE CANCEL AT EXIT-COMMAND.
LOOP AT ITAB.
   Module read_table_control.
ENDLOOP.
module user_command_0100.
In this Module read_table_control, You should write the following code
MODULE read_table_control INPUT.
MODIFY itab INDEX tabc-current_line."( This will update the
"ITAB table MARK field with 'X ' whatever we have selected
"on table control.)
ENDMODULE.
4)
If you want to Delete some of the records from Table control
follow this code Create one pushbutton and give Fucnction code to that
and write below code
CASE OKCODE.
WHEN 'CREATE'.
LOOP AT itab WHERE mark = 'X'.
"Use UPDATE statement to create new record.
ENDLOOP.
ENDCASE.
I hope that you will get something.

i think normally u will get data from databsae as objects.they are like java beans having getter and setter methods.so you create a collection of those objects like collect all the objects coming from database into an arraylist or....
suppose you want to populate the dropdown box with say "username" from database object s, your code will look like that
<html:select property="name">
<html:options collection="databaseList" property="username" />
</html:select>
"databaseList" is collection(say.. ArrayList) of objects you are getting from database.this dropdown will contain all the "usernames" you are getting from database.

Adding '-Select-' on top for a drop down box

Hello,
I have a drop down box mapped to a field in the context, the field has some domain values and are populated in the run time. but I have to add another top row '-Select-' indicating to the client that the field need to be selected.
To add 'Select', I can write a method in the WDDOINIT method of the controller and also loop through the domain values and append to the drop down box. But I don't want to do too much of d/b interaction, as the fields are anyway loaded to the dropbox by mapping.
Is there a way in web dynpro, that we could do like in normal ABAP reports, to Loop at the screen and identify all the drop down boxes and add a 'select' row at the top?
I really appreciate any help.
Thank you
KV.

Hi Kiran,
Can you make your requirement more clear to me?
As much I understand from your message is that you want to add a dynamic Text on the top of Dropdown.Like Select the field need to be selected.
from where you will get this field information?
what message you want to add?
If you have the field information then
(a)Create a textView on the top of Dropdown
(b) Bind it's property "Text" to the context attribute say Text .
(c) now set this value like
wdcontext.currentcontextelement().setText("Select "+field);
If this is not the right interpretation of your problem then please explain it in detail and tell me step by step what you want to do?
Regards,
Praveen

Drop-down box population

I have tried to research this situation through the forums, but all the answers I've found are ... not quite 'it'.
I'm working in a relatively small company, producing forms to automate a good deal of the workflow. ( I used to be a Notes Dev and Admin, back in the day, so I'm very familiar with workflow and automating forms but this company is small enough that a lot of the backend processing is ... missing or in 'long term development'.) I have an expense report type form where I need to be able to have the users select the type of expense from a drop down box to start their line items, and then use the other kinds of fields to fill in the other data. However, the drop-down needs to be at least vaguely dynamic as specific projects/work details come on and get removed. Managing more than a dozen lines by hand is tedious and annoying.
Is there any way to popluate a drop down box's list with a hidden field on the form? It would save me a LOT of trouble if I could enter the data into a multi-line field and have the form auto-populate with that data instead. Barring that, is there a 'fast' way to clear out a list for a drop-down field without using the little minus sign to remove each item individually?
Many, many thanks in advance.

I know this is a over a year old, but I needed to populate a drop down list with over 400 entries, so I downloaded the above form and it would not hold enough entries. So I edited it and made the file 100 inches long and it had more than enough room for my entries I needed. It may well hold almost 1000 entries, I did not check. but here is a link to the longer form for those of you who need to enter many more entries.

Thanks to George Johnson for the wonderful first edition that has work well for many I am sure. This is his form only much longer to allow more entries.
