Asking user to input some data

Hi,
I can't find if this is possible to run javascript, that will display new window (like a form) that will contain some text areas to input some data by user, and some checkboxes, that user can mark/unmark. According to values user will type, and option user will chose the scrypt will have another functionality.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Gregory

Yes, you can bring up either simple UI elements or quite complex dialogs. Details are in the Acrobat JavaScript documentation.

Hello there,
I am totally green in web development.
my goal is to, for the user will input a date range from and
to and will out put the records in the intranet when they press a
button.
However, the good news is: I have experience in programming.
I have written applications for desktop in VB>NET and I
understand RDBMS /sql concepts .
But CF and WEB development is new to me.
My current projects involves in connecting to DB and testing
it. (it works fine)
And outputting reports by to a intranet page. (records)
i need help on how to start this asap. I will even do some
practice at home.
Tools I have at work
• Development server(test)
• Home site.
• Toad for db connection.
• Html reference guide
• Cf dummies book.
How can start my projects.
(ex. Create cf, outputpage?)
seriously, I am new to this.
Thanks.

Well, I had a really nice response with some concepts and
ideas for you to practise on etc, but these dumb forums timed out
and I lost it all
If you want to pop me an email we could probably do a few
exercises together that way - or even by MSN Messenger if you want.

Requires a user to input a date (condition [%0])

Hi,
I'm trying to write a query that requires a user to input a date (condition [%0]). The data brought back would show invoices with activity but I need to get only the invoices that are 60 days past due from the date the user inputs.
--SELECT T0.[DocNum]'Invoice No.',
--T0.[CardCode],
--T0.[CardName],
--T1.PYMNTGROUP,
--T0.[DocDate],
--T0.[DocDueDate],
--DATEDIFF(DAY,T0.DOCDUEDATE,GETDATE())'Past Due',
--T0.[DocTotal] 'Balance Due',
--MAX(T2.RECONTACT)'Last Activity',
--max(t2.details)'Activity Details'
--FROM OINV T0 LEFT JOIN OCTG T1 ON T0.GROUPNUM=T1.GROUPNUM LEFT JOIN OCLG T2 ON T0.CARDCODE=T2.CARDCODE
--WHERE T0.[Docstatus] ='o' and
--T0.docduedate<getdate() -60
--GROUP BY T0.[DocNum], T0.[CardCode], T0.[CardName],T1.PYMNTGROUP, T0.[DocDate], T0.[DocDueDate] ,
--DATEDIFF(DAY,T0.DOCDUEDATE,GETDATE()),T0.[DocTotal]

Hi,
Welcome you post on the forum.
Try this:
Declare @ToDate DateTime
SET @ToDate = /(SELECT T0.DocDate FROM OINV T0 where T0.DocDate =/ '[%0\]'
SELECT T0.DocNum'Invoice No.',
T0.CardCode,
T0.CardName,
T1.PYMNTGROUP,
T0.DocDate,
T0.DocDueDate,
DATEDIFF(DAY,T0.DOCDUEDATE,@ToDate)'Past Due',
T0.DocTotal 'Balance Due',
MAX(T2.RECONTACT)'Last Activity',
max(t2.details)'Activity Details'
FROM OINV T0 LEFT JOIN OCTG T1 ON T0.GROUPNUM=T1.GROUPNUM LEFT JOIN OCLG T2 ON T0.CARDCODE=T2.CARDCODE
WHERE T0.Docstatus ='o'
GROUP BY T0.DocNum, T0.CardCode, T0.CardName,T1.PYMNTGROUP, T0.DocDate, T0.DocDueDate ,
DATEDIFF(DAY,T0.DOCDUEDATE,@ToDate),T0.DocTotal
Having DATEDIFF(DAY,T0.DOCDUEDATE,@ToDate)>60

Report that Forces a User to Input a Date Range

Greetings,
I am generating a work times report and would like to force the user to select a date range when the report first opens. This would pull only the data for the specified range from my database.
I prefer drop down lists or calendars, but am wondering if this is possible.
I guess one other important element is that I would like to "dumb down" the interface, so the user of the report does not have access to all of the features of the program. Basically I only want them to have read privileges.
I'm new to CR, so would appreciate any guidance.
Thanks
Peter

Here is what the Help system has to say about the read only feature:
You can make a report, section, area, or object read-only so it can't be formatted.
When you set this option, choices in the Format Editor become inactive.
The formatting options that are usually available on the toolbars or shortcut menus are also suppressed for the report or object.
Note: This feature is for your convenience in protecting report formatting; it is not intended to be used as report security.
Also, if you want the user to be prompted for parameter values each time they open the report, take the check mark out of the
"Save Data with Report" option.

Ask user for input after Workflow has already started?

I am in the process of creating an "expense report" declarative workflow in Designer. I want to have it start automatically when a new document (here, an Excel file) is uploaded to the Library. I also want some user input (e.g. "Is this
ER urgent?"). Is there a way to this without requiring the workflow to start manually?

You can have required information as metadata on your library and user needs to fill those information. You read that information in your workflow.

Need to automate report having user response in a date prompt variable

Hi,
I've a webi 4.0 report which is having date prompt as a input from the user. This report has multiple data providers and is using variable as
=FormatDate (ToDate(UserResponse("Report Date");"dd Mmm YYYY");"Mmmm YYYY") in the report. Report Date is the user prompt enabling user to input the date and is usually the last day of Month.
I want to automate the report so that user dont have to input the date in Report Date prompt. How do I implement this?
If I simply remove Report Date being used as a filter, report will run without asking user but this Report Date is being used as a variable and will #ERROR.
Please advise.
Thanks
Pritesh

Pritesh,
Well you can create a Prompt at universe level with if and else as user input or Month end date( eom function ) or you can create variable today at universe level and schedule the every month end.
Thanks,

How do I prompt a user to enter numeric data while a vi is running?

I am writing a Labview vi that to calibrate angle sensors. I need to prompt the user to enter numeric or string data for the low and high angle points so the vi can then calculate the span based on these values and the a/d output differences at these two points. I can't use preset points because the angle data is resolute to 0.1 degrees, and having the user raise or lower a boom to a predefined point is not within reasonable expectation. I would be much obliged for any help that is offered.

Build a subVI that has two numeric controls for the user to input the data (name them something appropriate like "High Angle" and "Low Angle").
Add and "Enter" button to the front panel.
Set the subVI preferences to include Open Front Panel When Called and Close Afterwards if Originally Closed. these are in Windows Appearance, Customize.
Put a delay (say 50 ms) and a while loop on the block diagram to wait until someone presses the button.
Connect your front panel controls to outputs on the connector pane.
This will pop up a dialog type of window when you need the user to input data. And make the dialog window disappear when done. You can also add valid data checking to the subVI and whatever else you need.

How can I have a program prompt a user to input a selected number of simultaneous (different devices run off com/rs232 ports) and be able to compile all the data and/or graph it simultaneously?

I have a project that I'm working on that I could use some help on.
Some background on it is I'm taking data from a balance via RS-232 (can be a selectable list of balances), and then communicating with them on their own separate COM port. I need these to then run in parallel to then take masses in regular increments and then output them to a graph and/or TDMS file.
What I'm trying to have is that a subVI prompts the user to how many simultaneous runs will be going.
Then I will want multiple pop prompts (one for each simultaneous run) which will have initial data input (data cluster) and then associate these with the COM port and the specified balance.
I initially thought of utilizing a For Loop this way but I can't get these windows to pop up multiple times while storing their own values in say a cluster array. Can anyone give me any ideas to get me a little further?

Cameron,
I've created a prompt for the user to select the number or runs to be run simultaneously.
This then should trigger the amount of prompts the user needs to input - ie VISA resource, and headers to label the "samples".
I want this to be done in multiples (somewhere around 1-10 simultaneous runs - bounded by the program) so that data points from multiple sources can be taken and graphed/saved to file. I just am having issues with the loop situation to be able to keep prompting the user X times and also output the data to the front panel. Originally i thought I could somehow manipulate a tab control container but I'm getting roadblocked.
Does that help you understand what I'm trying to do?
I've attached an image of what I want the user to input for each sampling.

Go to File I/O / Advanced File Functions / File Dialog.
This vi have input parameter "Select Mode".
Set it to "Select Existing or New Directory". User will see File Dialog where will be button "select current directory". It means that user go to some directory and press this button, so vi will return path to this directory.
Use vi "Build Path" and give him any file name.
I believe you understand me.
Good luck.

How to prevent user from inputting in a Date field?

Hi, everyone
I have another small problems, for a Date field, user can choose from a date window or input from keyboard, is there any way to forbid user to input?
I want to make the date field behave like a Drop-down list. User can just choose from list, can not input. is it possible?
Thanks

User input in date format in data form is not identified in BR

Hi all,
In a data form,user provide input for start month and end month against account members "Transfers Start_Month" and "Transfers End_Month".
Eg:
Transfers Start_Month = Jul
Transfers End_Month =
Nov
When i tried to use the above 2 members in BR as below,
@MEMBER(@NAME("Transfers End_Month"->"BegBalance"->"SY_Forecast"->"MF04"))
so that it should return the user input month.Eg:"Nov"
Above method is not working and its not returning any months.
I tried using CDF function as below,which also dint return the user input month.
@MEMBER(@NAME(@HspDateToString("Transfers End_Month"->"BegBalance"->"SY_Forecast"->"MF04")))
Kindly enlighten on how to handle this scenario.I need the user input month to be returned in BR.
Thanks!

Hi,
Please find the below IF condition where we try to check if the period dim member is between "Jan" to the value entered by user in data form(Eg:"Nov"),then assign 200 to headcount.
IF(@ISMBR("Jan":@MEMBER(@NAME("Transfers End_Month"->BegBalance->SY_Forecast->MF04))))
headcount->SY_Forecast->MF04=200;
ENDIF;
In above script,@MEMBER(@NAME("Transfers End_Month"->Begbalance->SY_Forecast->MF04)) should return the value entered by user in data form(Eg: "Nov")
Note: Jan to Dec are level 0 members of period dim
Kindly enlighten if any additional functions/conversions from date to string i'm missing out.
Yes,i'm using calc manager to write the rule.
Thanks!

Asking a user for input trouble

Hi,
Im writing something where I need the user to input the width and height of a certain object and then output the area. I will use that area for later calculations.
The problem I am having is its continuously running every time, I only want it to run if the fields are left blank or the area is equal to zero.
Any suggestions on what I should do?
I am using labview 8.20
Thanks

What kind of controls are you using for the inputs? Logical would be numeric controls (not e.g. strings).
Use an event structure inside a while loop, triggerend by a value change in the two inputs and recalculate the area whenever one of the inputs changes. (it is probably cheaper to always calculate the area, even if one or both of the inputs are zero. You will simply get an area of zero, which is a correct result.
A normal program never uses the "continuously run" button. If you want the program to stop after the area is no longer zero, do the above and wire the area result to the loop termination via a "not equal zero" node. Typically you would not do that, but instead keep it running as long as you need to calculate areas.

Some data DVD's and External Hard Drives not recognized by Leopard only.

1] Some data DVDs that were burned under Tiger do not show up in Leopard. Only a dialog box asking what I want to do with the blank DVD comes up when I insert the disk. On my Tiger computer, the disk shows up perfectly fine. It is a DVD+R being used on a MBP 2ghz... and was burned on that very machine in Tiger and would load fine in Tiger. Now nothing on the same computer in Leopard. I'm going to reburn the disk on my Mac Mini on a DVD-R, but still wanted to know any ideas or input as to why it won't recognize the disk.
2] I also have an external USB2.0 HD. I formatted the disk using my G4 Mac Mini (which has Tiger) and it is not recognized on my MBP. In Disk Utility I try to reformat the drive, but it says that it cannot do so because the "resource is busy". I plug the drive back into the mac mini and it works perfectly fine. Why would this be and how do I correct it?
Full updates on both OS's. No other problems with either computer that I know of.

Unfortunately, commercial DVDs that you have bought 99.9% of the time will be copy protected and Apple's forum terms prohibit discussion of circumventing the copy protection. In various places circumventing digital copy protection is potentially illegal even if you own and intend to keep the DVD. Hence Apple do not wish DVD rippers etc discussed here.
Another problem is that AppleTv cannot play back DVDs copied to an external drive as it does not understand the format. So even if you can 'copy' your DVDs you then need to convert to h264 format to play on AppleTV.
Video formats for AppleTv are limited. They also do not support DVD like menu structures (thogh AppleTV 1 did with itunes Extras movies).
If you have unprotected video you wish to convert eg home video on DVD, then something like Handbrake or MPEGStreamclip with Apple's MPEG2 component might do the job. These programs are not DVD rippers but can process unprotected MPEG2 video.

How to cast a String input into Date variable?

I am using JOptionPane.showInputDialog to ask user for a date input. This will be read in as a String. I need to pass it to a variable call date. And when I print date using JOptionPane, it should be shown as whatever the user keyed in in this format: 25/2/09. How do I do it?

By the way, that's not casting. Casting is when you have a variable whose type is at a particular level of detail, and you assign it a different level of detail -- say, casting an int to a long, or a List to an ArrayList.
What you want to do is convert one type to a completely different one. In particular, you're going to do that by using SimpleDateFormat to parse the String -- that is, SimpleDateFormat will read the string, pick out the individual parts that express the date, and create a Date object that corresponds to it.
