2 Data entry improvement questions

Data entry is quicker if you can stay on the keyboard and not have to use the mouse.
When I hit tab and go across to my next cell, if it is a drop down box cell, is there a way to simply type in the first few letters causing the drop box to predict my selection? So far i have to stop using the keys and use the mouse to choose my selection.
Also, when i finish filling a row with info, If I hit tab expecting it to drop me to the row below, obviously it creates a new column. Is there a hot key to drop to the first cell in the row below? Or can you change what the tab key does?
cheers for any answers!
Evan

Hi Evan,
1. No. Popups always require the mouse. But Numbers does build a live list of previous entries in a column (or regular cells), and will offer these as auto completion hints when you start an entry with the same letter(s). Less than completely useful, though, as Numbers remembers the mistyped entries too, and offers no way to edit the list.
2. Pressing return on the last entry will return you to the cell under the first one in which an entry was made in the row. Pressing tab in the last column will confirm the entry (and not add a column, or move the selection) the first time you press it. If you then press tab again, a new column is added. If you press return, the action is as described above.

Barry

confused ADF/Struts/JSP: Data entry page question

Scenario: If I have a master page, say department, and a detail for entering new employees for that department (say emp).
Page1: Browse Page of Departments
link to [create] new emp in this department
Page 2:
Emp Input form
If I want to display information such as the Department#, name, and location in the second page, what should I do?
a) drop a read only version of dept here, and do a setCurrentRowWithKey and an Emp creation action prior to going to the page
b) pass parameters from the calling page, and fire an emp create action prior to getting to the page
If I go the route of (b), what's the easiest or recommended way of doing it?

a) Seems like the best approach here

Date Entry Fields

Hi,
We are trying to improve the functionality of the Forte date entry
fields. Currently you can set the template to allow either 2-digit or
4-digit year entry. If you enter an invalid date Forte will display an
error message telling you this when you tab off the field.
Does anyone know if it is possible to disable this error message?
What we want to do is have a date entry field that accepts 2 or 4 digit
year. If you enter the date as 01/12/00 the system will assume you mean
2000 and display 01/12/2000. If this is not what you meant you can
re-enter the date as 01/12/1900. Is this possible with the Forte
widgets?

Jace.

Jason,
Yes this is possible. You need to create a CustomDateTimeData class(inherits
from DateTimeNullable, DateTimeData, DateTimeDomain depending on your needs)
which you override FillString and SetValue methods. Using template
functionality is not flexible enough for your needs, so the FillString
method will make sure that the Value of the CustomDateTimeData is always
shown a standard way on Windows. The SetValue method will have the
intelligence to decide on how to store the entered value depending on what
the user enters and raise exceptions when needed.
So when you use the CustomDataTimeData on your windows it will automatically
call the FillString and SetValue methods when a value is changed or
displayed.
Read the online help on FillString & SetValue for further details or contact
me if you have any more questions.

Hi,
Yes, that is used to set the 'watermark' at which Forte will change
between 1900 and 2000 years when 2-digits are entered.
The problems is we currently have our widgets set to accept 4 digits.
This means the user MUST type in 1-9-0-1 or 2-0-0-1. What I want it to
do is allow the user to enter 0-1 and then display 2-0-0-1, and then
overtype it with 1-9-0-1 if they wish, but instead you get the Forte
error message if you only enter 2-digits.
Do you know if this is possible?
Jace.

There is an environment variable called FORTE_OLDEST_19YY which help
you do
what you want. It is documented in the System Management Guide for
release 3
on page 242. There is more information in the Framework manual also.

How to select a single row in a report for data entry?

Hello All, and Greetings.
I am a newcomer, with no experience in Apex, and in need of help.
I have to generate a report with some read-only columns and two write columns. These will be the result of a SQL query.
For the sake of robustness in data entry, a row has to be selected prior to data update. The document specifies that a radiobutton for each row be present, and the corresponding row selected accordingly by clicking its radiobutton. There could be any number of rows returned in the report, which means that the number of radiobuttons will vary dynamically according to the number of returned rows.
1. So my question is, how do I construct the page to do this? Please remember I am a newbie, so detail will be appreciated.
2. Another question is, how do I change the fonts and colours of the names displayed along with the listboxes?
Thank you very much for your attention. Any help will be warmly received.
With regards,
Arindam.

Two step confirmation with RF device (Mobile Data Entry) - 1st step only

Hello
I want to implement the following scenario:
- WM transfer orders are created, relevant for two step confirmation;
- a user working with RF device confirms the 1st step - picking;
- then the materials are transported physically to another building (the same warehouse number);
- another user working with RF device confirms the 2nd step - putaway.
For confirming the 1st step I tried to use standard transaction LM07. Confirmation of the 1st step is working fine but right after that a screen for confirming the 2nd step is displayed to the user. I would like this transaction to finish just after confirming the 1st step and not to proceed with the 2nd step immediately - because the confirmation of the 2nd step should be done by another user (with some other transaction).
What is more: if you exit the transaction manually after confirming the 1st step the system saves the TO number (in table LRF_WKQU) and in some circumstances triggers the screen for confirming the 2nd step even if you do not run LM07 - this is so called "recovery" function which is a nuisance in my case.
So my question is: is there a way to customize LM07 so that it finished processing automatically right after confirming the 1st step for a two step confirmation TO ? (and without storing data for "recovery" function). Or maybe some other mobile-data-entry transaction should be used for that ?
regards

Hi Vlad,
One more information, which i would like to communicate on this issue.
We have raised OSS message to SAP on this issue. They have replied back that, on screen 1302, we have some custom code which is interfering with the system behavior.
As of now, we have analyzed at our end, and we found that, the enhancement at screen 1302 is restricted for the functionality, and in theory, this enhancement should not be effecting at all the system behavior.
SAP has suggested to test the scenario , without any enhancement on screen 1302.
Still we are in discussion with SAP, and try to find out the resolution.
Can you also check in your system, if you have any enhancement on screen 1302 ? And if yes, does it interfering with the stander SAP codes.
Thanks & Regards,
Raj.

Data Entry Tab for Numeric Indicator does not Exist

Hi
I'm trying to set the data range for numeric indicators on LabVIEW 10.0.1. For some reason when I go to properties of my numeric indicator, there is no Data Entry Tab as explained on the NI website: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/lvhowto/changing_data_ranges_of_nu/. Also, in the data type tab, there is a section for range but everything is grayed out. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Solved!

Hi
Thanks for the replies
I just realized that data entry on a numeric indicator doesn't really make sense. But my question is, how do I go about setting data range for a numeric indicator? Based on this tutorial : http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/320998a.pdf (Page 128/250) in the older versions there seems to be a data range tab or option when you write click the indicator. In my case, the range is greyed out and I tried to play with it with no avail.
Thanks very much

3) On wednesday he comes bak , he is already assigned to data entry profile 1, where he books his time for Per Area 1 (HR). Now how does he book his time for the one day where he was assigned to Per Area 2 ( PS)
any ideas ? I know this wud be a custom enhancement,

Data entry

Hi All,
I'm creating a pretty standard desktop database app using Swing for the GUI. However, I'm getting RSI hand-coding all the data entry forms and was wondering if there are any good tools out there to perform this task for me. I'm looking for something that will generate a swing form from a database table or view. Ideally, form elements would be pre-formatted for the appropriate data type, prepopulated for 'enum' style fields and would handle foreign keys intelligently. Anyone know of anything like this?

I've posted similar question on Nov 9 recently. Not sure if you are refering to the same thing. Search "Rapid Development" or http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=681232. I got 42 views but no replies unfortunately.

Data entry sheet with combined info objects?

Hi,
we are using Bex workbook as data entry sheet for planning function. It is working fine, however, I have 0cust_sales as parameter. As we know, 0cust_sales is combined with sales org and distribution channel.
The problem:
1) requirement is to plan sales org DE21, distribution channel 01, all customer
input parameters: DE21/01/#
2) requirement is to plan DE21, all distribution channel, customer 4711
input parameters: DE21/#/4711
my question:
1) why do I have to type the parameter for customer '#' in requirement No.1?
2) why do I have to type all the combined keys even I have sales org and distribution channel also in the data entry sheet?
3) are these normal functions? if yes, what is the workaound / solution for this?
your feedback is highly appreciated!
Regards,
Sally

Hi Sally,
Yes you can define it at infoprovider level as well in planning application,If you are using IP then go infoprovider tab in RSPLAN Tcode,there you will see CR tab in lower panel - where you can specify characteristic relatioship and how to derive.
Similarly you can use in BPS as well.
Can refer to the link below for more details for IP:-

Ios 4.1 Search Calendar data entry delayed by "Instant Search".

When attempting to enter search data into the Calendar Search Box, display of characters entered is delayed. The first character is fine, the second will hold the character display above its key for about 4 seconds and then display it in the Search Box after the +Instant Search+ results based on the first character entered have been displayed.
Entry of more characters while the second character is still "hanging" results in their keyboard clicks being delayed until the second character has been displayed in the Search Box and then they will all display too. The situation repeats itself if one restarts data entry after a pause.
I note that the same problem _does not exist_ in the +Spotlight Search+ which, in my case, is set to search all +data types+, not just the Calendar.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Suggestions? (Other than switching to a 3rd Party calendar.)

Thanks for the suggestions. Reset was the first thing I tried - No improvement. My second thought was the data until I tried the Spotlight Search and that works fine on the same data.
I've only noticed this problem since the iOS4.1 release and will postpone an OS reload until I see if anyone else is experiencing the issue. I note that many people have already reported the initial calendar display problem that has manifested itself with this release and if Apple QA let that one through, there are probably more.

E-Recruiting Workflow after Data Entry Error

Greetings,
The E-Recruiting Workflow after Data Entry Error enables you to change and internal or external application that was entered manually. If for example, you enter the application to the incorrect reference code, you can assign a different one. As a result the status of the original application is set to rejected with the status reason of "Replaced by new Application".
My question is why doesn't the candidacy also get set to rejected? Although the application is rejected, the candidacy is still in process and so this candidate will continue to show on the Candidate Shortlist for the requistion. There is nothing that I can tell that will stop a recruiter from continuing to recruit this candidate. I am thinking of changing the workflow to also reject the candidacy, but before I do that, I want to know if there is an error in my thought process here.
Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks!

Change Button from Mobile Data Entry Menu

Hi, as we know, we can start the mobile data entry menu via t-code: LM00, my question is, how to change the button sequence, or add addition button, or remove button from the mobile data entry screen...
Please kindly help.
Best Regards.

You do this with configuration. You need to setup a menu, attach the menu to a queue and then the queue to a user profile.
Go to SPRO,
Logisitics Execution
Mobile Data Entry
Define Menu Management
Here create the menu, Give the menu name and for each transaction you want on the screen you assign a different tcode. Say you have 3 transactions tied to this menu, this means that you will have 3 buttons on the initial screen of LM00.
Back out of that, and now go to "RF Queue Management"
Choose Define Queues from the menu, Create your queue .
Now go to "Assigne Processor to Queues" Here create a record for your user and assigne the queue and the main menu. Now when this user logs on and runs LM00, you should see the buttons that you just configured.

RIch Heilman

Generating data entry screens from entity

Hi all. am new to visual studio. I am creating a small app that connects to a database. i have added an EDM. What i wanted is to write a piece of code that can generate screens, just as in the case with lightswitch. I do not want to use the lightswitch,
i just want to learn how this is done. What are the approaches to this?
Thanks in advance.

One, this post is in the wrong forum.
Secondly there is no forum from Microsoft as your question pertains to "How to Design" which is not really specific to any Microsoft Product (the fact that you use Visual Studio as your dev environment is incidental).
Thirdly, your basic approach should be to read the table, use the field name, data type, etc. and dynamic control creation in Visual Studio to generate the form. This portion is relatively easy, factoring in proper data validation, data entry formats, etc.
which are not stored as part of the data definition would be more difficult.
Have fun.
Regards.
