Add Content Convas to a Form with Tab Canvas

Hi,
I have a From with the tab Canvas (with 3 tabs). I wanted to provide few buttons which are common to all the tabs.
How can i do it?
I know of one way that it can be done is to add the tab canvas to the content canvas and then put the buttons on the Content Canvas. I can't seem to add it(Content Canvas) to the existing form. I tried using a fresh form and then copying the existing tab canvas on to it, it doesn't work.
I don't want to recreate this tab canvas as I have lots of code that has been added to the tab pages.
Is there a way to solve my problem ?
Appreciating in Advance.
Reena

Hi Reena,
Create the content canvas. go to layout editor.
Go to View --> Stacked Views on the menu.
select the tab canvas and say ok.
Now go to Edit --> Select all. Deselect the new content canvas .
Move all these selected items on the tab canvas down so that you can have enough space on the top of content canvas.
Cheers.

Form with Tab Canvas

Hi,
I've a form with 12 blocks. We are displaying the these twelve blocks in the tab canvases(Tab attachment Edge: Top). The problem with these tab canvas is user can see only the names of 4 tab canvases. Then he need to navigate using the scrollbar. But the user requirement is that he needs to see all the tabs above in multiple rows. i.e.., In the first row he needs 4 tabs and then in the next line he needs another 4 tabs etc. He do not want to change the Tab attachment Edge to Right/Left. I'm using Forms 6i version. Thanks in advance.

Integrating mutiple forms into one form using tab canvas

Hi everyone,
I'm relatively new to Forms 6.0 and also to this discussion. Could somebody please explain the pros/cons while integrating 8 maintenance forms into one form(Each page in the tab canvas representing one form)?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Aruna

If the maintenance forms are small, you can integrate them into a single form with a tab canvas, although 8 may prove difficult--try it and see what it looks like to have eight tab pages. Make sure the first block and field in the form navigator is the field you want to show at startup.
You would use multiple forms (1) to modularize largish chunks of complex code that don't interact with each other (2) to decouple logically separate applications (3) to decouple reusable modules that you can then pop into other applications (4) to create shareable components to share through an object library into base forms.
In your case, the main issue is the logical separation with reusability also raising its head. Each form is logically distinct for maintaining a specific set of tables, so putting it in a separate form makes sense. It would also allow you to reuse the maintenance forms in different applications without including everything. This might be a security issue, for example--some apps might need access to only some of the 8 forms.
Tab pages are also not as easily formatted as you might like, so check it out before assuming that tab page interfaces in Forms are your solution.

Oracle Forms 10G(tabbed canvasses not working the same as in Forms 6i)

Hi everyone,
I have a form which gets called from another form through a list of value. The called form(second form) has a group of tabbed canvases which get displayed depending on the parameters passed from the first form.
The Form is working prefectly fine in Forms 6i but when I converted the same form in to forms 10G it does not seem to work the same way. The tabbed canvasses are not getting displayed. I am manually having to press the execute query to get data displayed in the tabbed canvasses. I checked the parameters that are being passed and they are the same as that in Forms 6i.
Please let me know where my 10G Form is going wrong. Appreciate your help, please send me an email on [email protected]
Thanks

Forms 5 Tab Canvas & Horizontal Scrollbar

We are trying to implement a tab canvas which will hold a multi-record data block. The difficulty is that we would like to display a lot of fields and there is no Horizontal Scrollbar easily available for the Tab Canvas.
We are thinking about "simulating" a tab canvas by using stacked canvases. The stacked canvas allows us to have the scrollbar, but looses some of the look & feel of a tab canvas.
Anyone try to do this in Forms 5? How about anyone try to place a stacked canvas on top of a tab canvas?

We're using forms 6.0.8.8. Our standard practice is to never put items on a tab canvas, instead we put stacked canvas' on the tab canvas. Besides having canvas scroll bars, it also provides a basis to work around documented bugs for refreshing/resizing windows when returning from other forms/windows of different sizes etc.

Add button to SharePoint 2013 form with InfoPath and/or SharePoint designer

Since I am new to working with Sharepoint 2013, I have the following questions to ask you about Infopath 2013 and possibly SharePoint Desinger 2013:
1. Yesterday I created a custom list in my 'test area of SharePoint' and opened the list in Infopath 2013 to see what the form would look like. Now I have alot more columns and edits to add to the list. I am planning to add more columns to the list when
I am in my 'test area' and then make cosmetic changes to the form using Infopath 2013. I am thinking that if I continue this way, I may lose some ediut changes I have made using Infopath 2013. Thus can you tell me the best way to add more columns to the list
and/or modify the existing columns and not lose the edit changes that I made using Infopath 2013?
2. The infopath 2013 form does not contain any buttons to click. I need a button to show up for every user to click so that a workflow can be started. Do I need some kind of a task list(action)? Thus can you tell me how to add this type of a button to the
form?

Wendy, Please go through this video from
channel 9 (http://channel9.msdn.com/Blogs/NickDallett/InfoPath-2010-Customize-a-SharePoint-List-Form) which will uilding froom explain similar form building from scratch.
As per Peter's replay yes you can update form even after add columns in list and you can add extar control like button to your infopath form.
Workflows are usually started when creating or updating an item inside a SharePoint document library.
Open the workflow in SharePoint Designer and under "Start Options' on the workflow's home page, remove the check from "Start workflow manually...". Be sure the check either "Start on create..." or "Start on change...". In
your case I think you would use "Start on create...".
Hope these inputs will help

Content Search web part Customization with Tabs

Hi,
I'm customizing a Content Search web part. I need to create dynamic tabs on it based on the values of a retrieved specific column. Do you have idea on how to retrieve all the values all at once, so that I can format the tabs itself? Because right now, I
can only get one list item at a time by using ctx.CurrentItem. Thanks. :)
Regards,
Napster

You can make a REST call with groupby query on the specific column to get distinct values.

Applying a New Template to a Page with Tabs

Hi,
We use page templates for our pages. We know that you cannot add a region to a page based on a template, but supposedly you can add tabs to a page based on a template.
One template we have has a single tab on it. The web designers have been adding content to pages built on that template. When they need another tab, they add it and add content to the new region on the tab. They may do this until there are 4 tabs on the page (the original tab that is in the template, plus three additional tabs). We use this for example to collect links to memos and to divide the links onto 4 tabs representing calendar quarters.
One of the problems with this process is that the web designers have not been consistent in using uniform definitions for the region on each tab causing an inconsistent look-and-feel from one tab to the next.
I have created a new template with 4 tabs already defined and with the region properties already defined. The web designers can then add content as needed and if a tab is not required it can be marked as hidden.
The problem that I am running into is that if I try to apply the new template to an existing page, I get the following error message:
Error: ORA-00001: unique constraint (PORTAL.WWV_THINGS_NAME_UK) violated
Also, consistently the content from the original first tab is lost and there is no corresponding tab on the reformatted page. Content on the second tab appears to be OK, but content on the third tab is missing. Content on the fourth tab appears to be OK.
Can anyone tell me 1. what is specifically causing the error message, and 2. is it possible to do what I want to do or will all of these pages have to be recreated manually instead of changing the templates.?
Thanks,
Peter

You should be able to do what you are trying to do. You seem to be running into a bug. Please file this with support if possible. Based on the error message, you seem to be running into a case of duplicate names, on either items or tabs. What you might try doing is renaming the tabs, ensuring uniqueness, before changing templates. By "renaming", I mean changing the NAME of the tab, not the Display Name, by clicking Edit Tab in edit mode. Does this help at all?

How can i add rows in a tabular form

Hi,
How can i add rows in a tabular form with out updating in database and after adding the rows one by one and after filling the data then iwant to submit them all at once.Please help me on this.
Thanks

Hello Leandro,
In the Add_Rows page process, there is a box for "Number Of Rows". Change that value and you change the number of rows that get added. The default is 1.

Horizontal ScrollBar disables for Tab Canvas

Dear OTN Members,
I am developing a form with tab canvases.
If I set Horizontal Scroll Bar property to true, it comes as
disabled during the execution of the form. I am only able to
move to the rest of the items through keyboard.
Thanks in Advance.
Bye

Hi,
not directly. However, if - at runtime - you overlay parts of the tab canvas with a stacked canvas, then you could have this showing a horizontal scroll bar. All you tab canvas content need to be on the stack canvas though.
