Allowing end users to build search queries?

We have several large document libraries that have a significant amount of metadata columns tied to them. I'd like to create away for users to build queries based on those columns.
I'm picturing a page that displays all of the properies for a given list allowing the user to enter search criteria as desired. for example - ten fields are listed but the user might choose to enter three fields - invoiced date, a customer type and a country
which then returns the results. The next user might enter an invoice total, sales rep and ship date.
Can anyone suggest how to build this type of thing? I'd describe it as an end-user query builder, but that might not be the best way to describe it.

I'm starting to wrap my head around this a bit more and I think the complication is that several of these metadata fields are 'Single Line of Text'-fields.
Metadata navigation would seem to be a perfect solution if it allowed for these 'Single Line of Text'-fields to be filtered.
Is there anything that I might make this a workable solution?

When creating a fillable form fields from an existing pdf file, how do you set or allow end user to set the font size in the fields?

I successfully created a form filled pdf using an existing pdf document. However, the font size is too large to allow end user to type in information in the form box. Is there a way to 1)globally set all of the form fields when generated to a much smaller font size &/or 2) allow end user to change the font size if needed to put all information in one box without font being so large?

Hi DenisonDoc,
There is no option right now to set properties globally primarily for Text fields. You may make sure fields doesn't contain anything.
Select all the text filed from the form and right click any of the selected field make sure all of them are selected choose properties --> Appearance there you can choose Font Size and Font type.
- End users cant change size and type of font. It is up to designer.

Allowing end-user to create a user using a form

Hi all,
I'm working on a project whereby I must allow end-users from anywhere to create an account for themselves (Register).
Which table/object should I create a form on to enable users to register.
(APEX 3.1.2)
kind regards
Mel

Hi Mel,
I just set up custom authentication for the last application I developed. The user table is pretty simple and you can easily hash the passwords. I even developed a process where a person can change their own password and the process email them of any such changes. Course, that requires an email address to be a column in the user table.
There is a relatively new Apex book out titled Pro Oracle Application Express. It has a lot of good information concerning custom authentication. It takes you through the whole process, step by step. Also, the book is excellent in itself and definitely worth having. It has a lot of good information in it.

Questions for the end users in Building an application.

Questions for the end users in Building an application.
Hello,
I am assigned a project in building a CF application. As far
as the business requirements, I have an idea from the MIS people.
However, I have a meeting with direct users and I have to ask
questions to add to my requirements. I am still a beginner in this
but I need to ask questions.
Can anyone give me tips? what basic / important questions?

For starters,
DO:
Ask them to discuss what they want to do with the application
Try to understand their level of computer literacy
Keep your conversation non-technical
Continue to interact with the users during the design and
development process
Try to identify a "champion" with whom you can interface as the
project progresses
DON'T:
Use technical terms or discuss technical issues
Talk down to them
Promise delivery dates until you have documented their
requirements and they have approved them

End User will build the report by himself by choosing the columns from tabl

We are using Oracle 10g Application server (Forms and Report Services), Forms and Report., our most urgent requirement is End User have to build the required reports by him Like wizards style, (Example Adhoc, MIS reports)., More clear, from the form we want to show all the tables structures, queries, after that end user will choose some columns from the form and specified the condition by himself to run the report after that he will press start button , then automatically report has build for the selected columns from the end user., and this report is parmanent afterwords., he can use any time.
Like this kind of report building is possiable , anyone has faced same situation.

Yes it is.
In BW, this can be achieved by using document management. The option will be available to the user via context menu in the report (goto-->documents - text/pdf/img etc). In your case user can choose to create/change/display a 'text' document, which will be attached to the report.
cheers,

Component to allow the user to build a list from another list's items

Hello everybody,
I'm looking for a widget that allows the user to create a list by choosing from items from another list.
Something like the tool to customize the button bar in MS Office or MS Explorer. You can see an example of what I'm talking about:
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/jscreator/learning/tutorials/2/databoundcomponents/displayedcolumns.gif
It would be easy to program a component like this (and I've already found some piece of code by Googling), but I'd like to know if someone made a stable Swing component of it to avoid reinventing the wheel.
Thanks in advance.

There is one here
http://www.geocities.com/nirajkagarwal/html/ListSelect
or.htmlThanks, I already found this one via Google but I was looking for something more "professional".
It seems the apache project team made a utility to
control elements in a list...it seems very generic
(maybe over-flexible if there is such a thing...) and
really needs a tutorial !!!
http://incubator.apache.org/uima/apidocs/org/apache/ui
ma/tools/util/gui/ListSelector.htmlYes, it really looks like a work in progress.
I'll wait some more to see if other readers come with links, then I'll start coding my own ListSelector ;-)
NB: another example of what I want to accomplish is shown in figure http://java.sun.com/products/jlf/ed2/book/images/SelectableList1.gif

Allow end user to save form entries

I am using Acrobat Pro8. I am creating a live form and want the end user (Using Acrobat Reader) to be able to fill in and save, not just print. Is that possible? I can not figure out how to save the doc so that that is possible. Thanks for any help w/his.

The end user license agreement is at http://www.adobe.com/products/eulas/pdfs/Gen_WWCombined-20080205_1329.pdf
You will specifically want to read section 15.12.3.

Allow end user to Remote Contorl or Remote View a workstation?

With ZENworks 7 we have certain operating room computers setup with remote
view capabilities to one specific workstation. These doctors needed remote
view capabilities to a computer that displays useful live medical
information.
This was done by using the software called "ZEN Workstation Browser" which
avoids needing them to start ConsoleOne to initiate a Remote View session
and of course, privileges are all controlled within eDirectory.
Does anyone know if this kind of capability might be possible with ZENworks
11? Can an end user be given limited access to ZCC such that they only have
the ability to remote view a specific workstation?
We're starting to roll out our agents and I'm not sure how to deal with this
unique setup. Because multiple computers may view that one workstation,
using RDP is not an option.
Thanks,
Marc

Marc Charbonneau,
Have you tried the ZENworks Remote Management viewer tool?
Else, then yes, you can give some users the rights to remote using the
ZCC.

Essbase parent level aggregation business rule for end users

Can someone provide me the basic syntax of a business rule to allow end users within Planning to run a run time prompt business to aggregate their responsibility level within a dimension like Cost Center? So for example, I want to allow a cost center manager to pick his parent level cost center and then run the aggregation script to rollup only his cost center expenses. I've tried to include AGG and CalcDim commands with various global variables to enable them to select the cost center fix point, but the aggregation doesn't seem to produce the right results. Anyone have a workable syntax for this?

If you are just trying to agg the children up to the parent it is even simplier I'll assume you are trying to roll up the company to some intermediate level
Say you have the outline
company
---East
------NY
-----NJ
---West
-----Ca
-----Az
and you want to roll up East you could do something like
FIX (FY10, Final, Actual)
@IDESCENDANTS("East");
ENDFIX
Of course I would add more into the fix to do the least work possible
The command Idescendants really means calculate all of the descendants of the selected member. I guess if you wanted to make it more efficient you could add the level command into it
like @idescendants("East"",-1) that would avoid looking for anything to do on the level zero members

Command line for end users

Hy guys, in order to run the command line below:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\DTEXEC.EXE /F
"G:\SHAREDFOLDER\PIPPO.DTSX"
Does the user need to have BIDS installed in the local machine?
My goal is to allow end user to run packages saved in the network shared folders.
Many Thanks

Hi DIEGOCTN,
The SQL Server Data Tools option installs the Integration Services components required to design a package, but the Integration Services service is not installed and you cannot run packages outside of Business Intelligence Development Studio. If we just
want to run packages outside the design environment, we needn’t install Business Intelligence Development Studio, but we must select Integration Services on the Feature Selection page to install Integration Services.
The following two articles for your references:

Looking for browser-based, end user ad-hoc reports

Hi all. We have need for an easy to use, browser based end-user reporting tool that can be hosted by CF10. We are spending a fantastic amount of time building custom tabular reports for our client and would prefer to give them a tool in our app that let's them build reports whenever they want. Do any of you know of any good reporting tools where the end-user could build their own reports?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Andy,
You could try JReport. Its a reporting and data visualization tool that let's anyone of any skill level create and modify their own reports and dashboards. You can even embed them into other applications. Let me know if you want to chat about it.

End User's mailing list administration

Hi,
I have a customer who has just migrated from iMS 5 to newest JES05Q4. Everything seems to be OK except one thing: In iMS 5 end users were able to use Delegated Admin to manage their mailing lists.In 05Q4, Delegated Admin does not allow end users to login. Is this a configuration issue, or is that function removed from the newest Delegated Admin? What is the recommended way for web-based mailing list manipulations?

Yeah, that's gone from the current DA. We're hoping to get better stuff into JES5, due out sometime around the end of the year.

How to limit end user from creating grid

Can I limit the end user's ability of creating new grids? What is the best practice for managing grids?
Thanks!

The best practice is to allow end user to create and save their own grids. There is no need to limit users from a potentially useful feature. If you have grids which you don't want users to change, assign a class to those grids which they should change, and give them View access to that class.
If you still don't want users to save their own grids, you might try giving them View access to the [Default] class, though any user smart enough to assign a class to the grid for which the user has All access to can still save the grid. Such users should be recruited to the application administration team and given a raise :-)

Is it possible for the end user to make changes to business processes?

Hi
I'm investigating Oracle's BPEL Processor Manager and BPM technologies for a large project we are going to do. The client wants to be able to change/create new business processes which would mean different web services being called in different orders after different amounts of time.
Is it possible to allow end users to change business processes in a SOA environment with a portal using Oracle's offerings. This would eliminate JDeveloper & the designer and the need for knowledge of the underlying architecture.
The only way around this would be getting users to edit the business rules but that would only work in a linear environment with lots of decisions won't it?
Regards
Sean

I will leave your real question to be answered by product folks.
BPEL does have capabilities that let you change how a given process will execute. For example, it's normal to have a process that will react differently depending on an incoming message (CancelMessage processes one way, SubscribeMessage does something else, ...). You can have the partnerlink that is invoked be selected based on a variable, a rule, a message element, a property in a property file or a preference set in the BPEL console. However, these all fail to answer your original question, because they require the original designer to code it all, not giving someone the capability to add a new WSDL on the fly with JDeveloper.
You can also overlay endpoints, like if the user is in California, send to the west-coast server instead of the east coast. There is (was?) a tutorial about overlaying WSDLs.

How to Allow the End User to Save a Form

How do I allow an end user to save form after they've filled it out? I understand this can be accomplished using the distribute function where you email the form to people. We don't want to do that. We want to put it on a website and allow them to access it, open it, fill it out, then save a copy to their hard drive (with the data they entered visible). I have searched the forums and cannot seem to find a solution for this. Thanks, in advance!

Hi Kyle. Thank you for the reply. I do have Acrobat Pro, so I will try that. To make sure I understand correctly, the form has to be create in LiveCycle Developer, then you have to open it on Acrobat Pro and set the permissions?
