Add Comment Column in Webform

Hi Expert,
We created some common members for our users, which users from different departments can use these common members for different purposes. We would like to know if it is possible to add a "Comment" column to a Hyperion Planning Webform, so that the user can input their required description for the member, to identify these common members?
We currently ask them to put in their specific name in the "Cell text", but user would have to place the cursor over the cell in order to know what that member stands for, whereas they request if it's possible to list the "Cell text" in the column by each row, so that they know what each member stands for, something like the below:
Column 1 (dimension 1) Column 2 (cell text of dimension 1) Data
Common member 1 user entered description 12345
Seek any expert advise as to how to achieve this in Hyperion Planning? We are using the latest version 11.1.2.2.
We don't want to use Alias, as we don't want to have to deploy the application everytime the user merely update the description of the common member.
thanks in advance for the help!

I've done this on several apps by adding a "data type" dimension to my application. It typically contains two members: 1) Amount, 2) Description. It's usually a sparse dimension, and does not consolidate, so has little to no impact on performance. What this allows you to do is add text annotations (directly in the web input form) for any cell combination. The "Description" member must have a data type of "Text", and the evaluation order must be set correctly in Hyperion Planning for the text to display properly.
Users enter text directly in their web input forms. No cell text, supporting detail, or other methods required.
It's especially useful in situations like you described, where you have a set of "generic" members that you want to give context or a name.
There are some downsides that you should be aware of:
- You need to be careful about clearing data, as you may inadvertently clear descriptions. Just be careful about your FIX in your clear statements.
- You cannot report on these with the native Essbase add-in. You must use a Planning connection in Smart View or FR.
- Sometimes you have to tuck a description in a slightly different cell combination than your data. For example, you may put your description in BegBalance, but your remaining data in the months.
This means you need to be aware of where your descriptions are stored for reporting purposes.
- The text data is stored in a table in the Planning app repository, so if you want to migrate your text, you need to move this data as well as your Essbase data.
It's not perfect, but tends to work out pretty well.
Hope this helps,
- Jake

  • How to use Version and Comments column in Finder

    Hi,
    in Finder you can choose to show the Version column and also the Comments column.
    Can someone please explain how to use these features?
    I hope there are some type of configuration managment feature hidden behind this column but I haven't found any info on this when seraching the web. To begin with I'd like to be able to add info to these fields.
    Have a nice day!
    /Erik

    Applications can have version numbers, like Safari 5.1.10 or 7, or Image Capture, as above.
    Files that the user can write to, may have 'spotlight comments' added via the Finder - Get Info window. Those can be displayed in a Finder listing, as you've noted, and entries  will be indexed by spotlight so that they show up in a search of file contents.

  • Comment column in a query

    Hello,
    In a BW query, I need to add a column of text comments (for example, the description of a calculation, the unit used, ...). These texts are static, the queries will only be used as static reports (download scheduler), in excel and web, so we can not use any VB script.
    Is it a way to add some text in a cell of a column, as in the following example (columns 2 and 3) ?
    KF1    |    Comment for KF1    |    Euros    |    12
    KF2    |    Comment for KF2    |    %          |    47
    Thanks in advance
    Michaë

    Please let me know if you this is possible.
    Thanks!, Kinds Regards

  • SharePoint 2010 Allow User to Add Comments to Files in a Library and to the Header of the Web-Page

    (1) I need to allow an end-user to be able to add comments to files either when they are added to a library or after they are added. I didn't see a Column available for adding to a Document Library for "Comments".
    (2) I need the same user to be able to add text/comments to the Header of the web-page that contains the library (above the library at the top of the screen).
    When I (the SP Admin) add the "Content Editor Web-Part" to the top of the web-page that contains the Document Library, the Toolbar disappears. The Content Editor Web-Part would be ideal to allow the end-user to add comments to the Header, but I
    really need the Toolbar available.
    Is there another Web-Part that I could use for allowing comments to be added to the Header of a web-page without disabling the Toolbar, or is there a known-fix for allowing the Toolbar to be available and functional after adding a Content Editor Web-Part?
    JCashon

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to add Comments to Files in a Library and to the Header of the Web-Page.
    (1)If you use the document content type in the library, it will contain the “Comments” field automatically. When you add the document, you can enter the conments. You can also edit the “Comments” field after the document added.
    (2)If you add the add the "Content Editor Web-Part" to the AllItem.aspx Page, you can add the text to the web part as the Header.

  • Comment column in Calendar app OOB shows 10:00 8:00 in chrome while giving inputs as 8:00

    HI All,
    I have sharepoint calendar and in comments column when i am typing "8:00" it gets converted to "
    10:00 8:00"
    in google chrome. In IE it works fine. To reproduce follow the below steps.
    1. Create a calendar library
    2. Add an event.
    3. Edit the column "comments".
    4. By default you dont find any options to select the type of column.
    5. Now to add a one more column say "comments 2" with multiple line of text.
    6. By default it type will be
    "Enhanced rich text (Rich text with pictures, tables, and hyperlinks)".
    7. Add an event and type "8:00" in new ly created column.
    8. Edit the new column and change the type to "Plain Text"
    9. It will display the above html tag as well "10:00 8:00"
    10. If you change the column type again to rich text it will behave normal.
    Now the issue is with default column "comments" which is still giving the above html tag in google chrome when we write similar to 8:00
    Please assist.
    Regards

  • How to use COMMENTS column of PER_ALL_VACANCIES?

    In Table PER_ALL_VACANCIES, there is a column COMMENTS. I want to add this column in the CREATE VACANCY page. Do I have to use the customization of IrcEditVacancyVO to use this column?

    Thank you very much! This is exactly what I wanted.
    Average Calories by Trainer

    One last question since you were all so helpful. How do I sort by the Average calorie burn column from highest to lowest? Every time I try to sort, it messes up all the formulas or won't change the names, just the numbers. In excel it's so easy to do this, I'm so surprised that I'm having issues sorting too! Ideally I'd like it to automatically sort to have the highest trainer on top, but I'm ok doing it manually if I need to.
    Thanks again!

  • Alter table add new column

    How to include
    Thanks
    Sudhir

    Directly you can add the column in existing table, No matter which position column find in the table, Its depend on your SELECT Statement. You add column in the table like this..
    ALTER TABLE TEST
    ADD COL_NAME DATATYPE CONSTRAINTS
    OR
    Rename your table table , Take the same table creation script add your column whereever you want.
    Run the script and drop the old table.

    Hi,
    You can use concat function or also '||' to combine two columns.
    1. with concat-
    concat("D4 Product"."P01 Product","D4 Product"."P02 Product Type")
    2. With '||' operator
    "D4 Product"."P01 Product" || '-'||"D4 Product"."P02 Product Type"
    (Remove '-' if not required)
    This should resolve. Hope this helps

  • Is there a way to add a column after a filled DataTable from SQL with the same rows?

    My problem is that not to add rows like filled by SQLDataAdapter at the same row in DataGridView. How to make that? I showed below the details with my code also a screen shot, which shows the rows differences from the origin one.
    I don't want to add an expression as column behave in my sql script to get what I need with query result. I don't want to obtain that way.
    using (SqlConnection c = new SqlConnection(ConnStrMSSQL))
    c.Open();
    // 2
    // Create new DataAdapter
    using (SqlDataAdapter a = new SqlDataAdapter("SELECT SIPNO, SERINO, TARIH FROM SNOHAREKETLER WHERE Cast(TARIH as DATE) BETWEEN '2015/03/20' AND '2015/03/20' AND (TEZNO = 'T23' OR TEZNO = 'T31') AND CIKTI is null", c))
    // 3
    // Use DataAdapter to fill DataTable
    DataTable t = new DataTable();
    a.Fill(t);
    t.Columns.Add("MyColumn", typeof(string));
    DataRow workRow;
    int iGetCount = t.Rows.Count;
    for (int i = 0; i <= iGetCount - 1; i++)
    workRow = t.NewRow();
    workRow["MyColumn"] = i;
    t.Rows.Add(workRow);
    dataGridView1.DataSource = t;

    The extra column isn't applied to only certain rows.  The columns of a table identify what data each row will contain.  Hence adding a column to the table automatically adds them to the rows.  What you're seeing is that all the initial rows
    aren't being assigned a value so they retain their default value of null.  Later you enumerate the rows of the existing table and call AddRow which adds new rows.  This isn't adding columns, but rows.
    To generate values for the existing rows you should ideally simply pass the data back from the database.  DT computed columns can be difficult to set up as it is limited to what it can do.  If you want to use a computed column on the Datatable
    itself then define the column as a computed column and every row will calculate its own value.
    DataTable data = GetData();
    //Add elapsed time column
    var col = new DataColumn("ElapsedTime", typeof(TimeSpan), "expr");
    data.Columns.Add(col);
    dataGridView1.DataSource = data;
    The issue you will run into however is that calculating a diff on DateTime doesn't work in a computed column as the expression doesn't support the necessary functions.  You can google for how people solved this if you are interested in alternatives. 
    Most people just tend to add the column and then hook into the various change events to update the value as needed.

    Hi ,
       Can any one tell me how to add a column in table control? My requirement is to add two columns ( custom fields ) into table control ( It is a standard program). I have added the column in the table and also in the table control. But when I am running the standard program, The newly added column is not there. But I have added in the perticular screen.

    Hi,
    Ensure the following :
    1. After adjusting the database, you`ll have to use the database utility and activate the table.
    2. If you have changed the standard screen, in tcode se80 -- right click on the program and click activate all. This activates all objects related to that program.
    Now execute the program.

    Assume you already have two columns SalesAmt1 and SalesAmt2, and you want to derive 3rd column say SalesAmt3 which would be the sum of SalesAmt1 and SalesAmt2.
    For this, as I mentioned above pull SalesAmt1 and SalesAmt2 columns in Report. Now pull another column (say SalesAmt1) and open the fx. Clear the contents of fx. Now locate the columns button in the bottom of the fx. From Here, first select SalesAmt1 and + sign and the select SalesAmt2.
    Now in this new column, the fx should look like SalesAmt1 + SalesAmt2.
    Let me know if you are looking for something else.
    Thanks
