Auto populate Infopath 2013 fields after selecting a specific dropdown option.

Auto populate Infopath 2013 fields after selecting a specific dropdown option.
Hi.
I have a Sharepoint 2013 list with three fields. Code, Section and Sub Section.
I would like to be able to have the form autopopulate the Section and Sub Section fields when a value for code is entered.
How would I go about this please?
Thanks
Jon

Hi JonMorgan,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to achieve that the second dropdown gets populated depending on what the first dropdown is set to.
To achieve your requirement, creating cascading dropdown fields with InfoPath.
Please refer to the following links about cascade drop down in InfoPath form:

Auto populate Infopath 2013 fields after entering a data into a textbox.

Firstly can I please say I am sorry to be revisiting this but I just can sort it out!!
I have 3 fields in a SharePoint 2013 list, Code, Section, SubSection, after some guidance I am trying to use rules to populate Section/SubSection when a Code is entered. I am getting the Data for the three Fields from an XML file. The form can see
the XML data fine. Here's the BUT.. I cant seem to get the quering correct to autofil the other two fields.
I promise this is the last time I shall ask for help on this!
TIA
Jon

Thanks Cameron.
No that’s not what I need, not Cascading Drop Downs, I want TextBox’s to be populated.
I have 3 fields, Code, Section, and SubSection, when a user enters a code into the first box, a rule queries the list, I(I have XML or SharePoint List) to populate the Section/SubSection with
the data relating to the Code.
So far I have a rule that on FormLoad when the Code field changes it queries the XML list for the info. The problem I have it I can’t get the query correct.
Thanks

Auto-populate CRMOD Communication fields

Hello,
I'm trying to tighten up the reporting in CRMOD based on our calls coming into COD, and I'm looking for help. When a call comes in (we're using COD), the agent gets a pop of an Activity screen (subtype = Communication). If the agent doesn't associate a first time caller with a Lead, Contact, or Opportunity, then the record of that call in CRMOD is not of much value to us. (I believe that for subsequent calls, the Activity will automatically be associated if we've created a Lead or Contact with that phone number, but I'm not 100% sure.) But still, it's the first call that I want to report on. That is, the first time someone calls, it may be on a number that's dedicated to a particular campaign. But if we send out information (or an agent just gives out a phone number), it may not be the same as the first time.
So, is there:
1) A way to auto-poulate the Campaign field in Call Detail based on the Destination? (This would be for select Destinations. For example, if some calls in on 800-555-1234, I know it's always a call for Campaign X. But if someone calls in on 800-555-7890, I can't assign it because there are multiple campaigns using that number.)
2) A way to associate the Calls after the fact. Say someone called in 5 more times and those all associated properly, can I update that first one without having to go digging for it?

The easiest way to do what you want to do is to have your agents create the new lead from the call detail during the call. So here are the steps:
- Call comes in, but the number isn't recognized so the call detail (activity) comes up.
- On the call detail, click the magnifying glass (search) on the lead field.
- On the lead search screen that comes up, there's a button to create a new lead.
- Create the lead and enter the phone number of the lead. (The call detail will have the origin phone number that the caller called from. You should verify with the caller that this is the best number to reach them at.)
- Save the lead - this will populate the lead onto the call detail and associate them

Auto populate a date field in pdf

in the form I am working on I have a date/time field. I need it to populate the current date when the form is open. I get it to work but it has the time on it. I only need the date. when I try to change it to display just the date. It will not auto populate ? please help. Thank you for any one who can help.
using adobe livecycle ES

I found out how to use current date.
To add current date fields in LifeCycle
You can use a date/time field to automatically show the current date by using the Runtime Property option in the Value tab of the Object palette.
Note: When using a current date field, the date updates to reflect the system’s current date each time a user opens the form.
1. In the Object Library palette, click the Standard category and drag a Date/Time Field object onto the form design.
2. In the Object palette, click the Value tab and select Calculated - Read Only from the Type list.
3. Select the Runtime Property option.
4. View the form in the Preview PDF tab.
Hope this helps!

Can Acrobat auto populate a date field upon digital signature of a form?

We use several fillable forms with digital ID signature fields. A business rule requires a date field next to the signature field. Is it possible to define the date field to auto populate once the user signs the form? I can't check this in Acrobat since I only have the reader.

Hi,
The short answer is yes, but of course you'll need to get Acrobat to edit the PDF file.
Generically, here is what you are looking to do:
Open the Digital Signature Properties dialog
Select the Signed tab
Select the This script executes when the field is signed radio button
Click the Edit button
Add the code snippet below to the JavaScript editor
Click the OK button on the JavaScript editor
Click the Close button on the Digital Signature Properties dialog
// JavaScript code to add the date at signing time
    var currentTime = new Date()
    var month = currentTime.getMonth() + 1
    var day = currentTime.getDate()
    var year = currentTime.getFullYear()
    var signingTime = day +"/"+month+"/"+year //Modify into your preferred format
    var f = this.getField("Text1"); //Modify the field name as necessary
    f.value = signingTime;
Good luck,
Steve

Is there a way to auto-populate text based on a selection?

I honestly don't even know how to word my question haha... so the title may be misleading...
For my job I need to fill out indesign files, and at one part of the file based on the state a person is from I need to paste a specific e-mail in several places.
Is there a way where maybe I create a dropdown menu of the several state e-mails I can choose from, and upon choosing it auto-populates that choice into the several other places?
I guess, is there a way where if I make a select or input text into one area it will generate in the other areas as well?

Maybe you need some kind of clipboard manager to choose several texts to paste

Digital Signature - Auto-Populate Multiple Signature Fields

Hello,
I am in the process of testing digital signatures with PDFs. I have a Topaz Signature Pad working in conjunction with Acrobat 9 and Reader 9 so that I can insert digital signatures with no problems.
We are wanting to take this a step further and streamline a particular business process. Does anyone know of a way to have a digital signature auto-populate multiple designated signature fields? We have about 15 documents that require an employee signature in multiple places and rather than having someone sign a document over and over again, we'd like the option for a single signature that auto-fills in all the required signature fields.
This doesn't necessarily have to work with Topaz Signature Pads. I am completely open to other suggestions, products or methodologies for making this work as long as something can be automated to auto-fill multiple signature fields.
Many thanks to the forum!
Regards,
Geoff

Hi Geoff,
Maybe there is no need to re-inent the wheel. Auto-population of forms is a feature of SignDoc - se http://www.signplus.com/en/products/signdoc/features.php#Form_Preparation
Auto-filling of forms is requirement which can be achieved through various processes.
In combination with Adobe LiveCycle this is executed in the case study of Adobe/SOFTPRO.
http://blogs.adobe.com/security/2010/01/adobe_secured_customer_showcas_8.html
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/showcase/index.cfm?event=casestudydetail&casestudyid=762388&l oc=en_us
However there are also other ways to move forward depending on the envrionment you are using.
If you are based in the US you may want to get in touch with Rod Vesling SOFTPROs E-Signature Specialist, based in CA near LA, for a chat. His office phone is 805 435 1214. His email is [email protected]
Depoending on the deice of Topaz you are usinfg you may start right away as quite a decent number of Topaz tablets are supported by SignDoc. However the best idea might be to give Rod a ring and idscus your business requirements in detail.
Kind regards

[ADF-UIX] updating some fields after selecting an item from messageChoice

Hi,
I'll try and keep it short and simple.
How do I do the following: I have 2 ViewObjects: department - employees, they
have a 1 - many relationship. But there's no master-detail in my ViewObjects
(no link between my view objects)
On my UIX page I have a input form for Employees, with a messageChoice for
choosing a department. And I show an extra label department_description, which
comes from Department view. How can I update this label after selecting an item
from the messageChoice?
Is is possible?
I tried searching this forum, but didnt find anything, hard define search
parameters for this :)
kind regards
Ido

Hi,
I tried it in another page, one with a read-only form for courses.
There it kinda works for the first 2 out of 3 items in the messageChoice,
but not the last option.
It does give me an error in JDev during runtime though
05/10/20 15:13:57 editCourseV2DP.uix:line 60,col 95: Illegal HTML: cannot put a <td> element in a <form> element.
which points to <messageTextInput model="${bindings.Longname1}" id="longname1"/>
Dont see a relation between the error and my xml source...
and it states: 05/10/20 15:25:48 Parameter partialTargets=_uixState longname1
so that should be ok
Can it be because CourseView has 2 EntityObjects, course and course_codes.
and I have a course_codeView, with just 1 EntityObject, course_codes
So when im building the uix page I have 2 options where to pull the longname
from, CourseView and course_codeView. I tried both btw, and only the longname
from CourseView changes. I would expect the other one to change.
Oh well, im kinda lost now, perhaps I'll drop this feature and think of an
otherway to implement my screen.
Thanks for the replies
kind regards

How do you auto populate a dynpro field when hit key while in other fields?

This is a dialog programming question for a custom dialog program (it is NOT an SAP program).
I have a dialog program that neds to be changed to accomodate the following.
i have searched SDN and can not find anything to resolve this issue.
I have a screen with multiple lines, scrolling, etc.
The first field in a line is a required entry.
There are two date fields that need to be automatrically populated when a value is entered in the first field.
In other words - when the user enters the first field value and then tabs to next field (or they may press enter, etc.) i need to populate the date fields on the same line and display them back to the user immdeately.
I can not get this to work - any help most appreciated.
Thanks.
Scott

Unfortunately, there's no 'tab-out' event in ABAP standard dynpros - you've got to trigger a PAI event to make that happen (such as hitting 'Enter').

Beginner User: Locking (making read only after data entry) a single field after selecting date

Hello, I am a beginner user trying to create a form using Adobe Livecycle. One of the fields I would like to make read only/protect it/password protect it after a user selects the date. For example, I select August 17, 2010 as the date. After I select it, I would like that field to be read only or protected so that another user can not edit it.
I am a complete novice using XML or codes. I'm learning alot from these boards though. I know its probably simple.
Any help is appreciated.

The attached locks a text field if the date chosen is "08-17-2010". If it is not the text field is accessible.
// form1.page1.date::exit - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.rawValue == "2010-08-17") {
form1.page1.tf.access = "protected";
else {
form1.page1.tf.access = "";

Auto-populate Computer Description Fields in AD Console

Hi guys,
I need some help with populating computer descriptions in AD. I have searched this on google numerous times and everytime I find a script there are loads of comments with "changes" saying it doesn't work.
What I am looking for in the description field is the last logged in user and the date and time of when they logged in. Now as we don't have multiple tenant machines this only needs updated every few days.
I want a solution really to find machines that aren't used, as the IT asset register is severely out dated! Plus this is always a handy feature to have for future reference.
If anyone knows of a script online somewhere or has one they use successfully I would greatly appreciate it and also some advice on how to deploy it (I know it gets added in to GPO but not 100% sure how).
Thanks

To track user logon / logoff, you can simply refer to what I shared here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/20422.record-logon-logoff-activities-on-domain-servers-and-workstations-using-group-policy.aspx
If you want to populate the collected information and put it in the Description field, you can simply use a Powershell script that reads the CSV files and set the value using
Set-ADComputer cmdlet: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee617263.aspx
To identify obsolete computers, you can refer to lastlogontimestamp
attribute value: http://blog.mattvogt.net/2011/10/06/powershell-last-logon-timestamp-for-single-ho/

How to auto-populate the Contact field from a Custom Object

Hi,
I am working on a project where the Contact record is the main focus. I have setup the Contact record as having a one-to-many relationship with CO4. From the Contact Details page I can click on the New button in the Related Record section for CO4 and the Contact from the Details page is auto-populated (which is what I want). I then enter the data into CO4 and click on Save so that the record is displayed in the Related Record section, and then I click into it so that I'm now on the CO4 Details page.
My page layout for CO4 has both Activities and Service Requests as related records, and the page layouts for both of these include the CO4 field and the Contact field. When I click on New for either of these record types, the CO4 field is populated from the previous record but the Contact is not. I realize this is because there is a one-to-many relationship between CO4 and the Activity/SR, but is there any way to also pull over the value in the Contact field?
I also tried this using CO1 which does have a many-to-many relationship (if I understand it correctly), but the Contact field is still not pulling over. Is there a way to make this happen?
Thanks!

This functionality is not available at this time. I would recommend that you submit a enhancement request to customer care.

How do you auto-populate a text field based on entries in other text fields?

I would like to be able to have a text field that populates as "Complete" or "Incomplete" based on whether all the mandatory text fields have been filled out or not.
For example, if the "First Name," "Last Name," and "City" text fields are not filled out, the "completion status" text field will show "Incomplete" and once they are filled out, the "completion status" text field will turn into "Complete."
How would I do this using javascript? I've searched the web for a tutorial, but most of the results seem to be dropdown-centric.
Please point me in the right direction!

Try the script below. I put this on the calculate event for Field1
if(FirstName.rawValue == null || LastName.rawValue == null || City.rawValue == null){
Field1.rawValue = "Incomplete"
else
Field1.rawValue = "Complete"

Populate a table field from selection made from drop down menu

Hello all,
I'm having a bit of head scratching problem that i just can't get my head around. I'm using Dreamweaver CS4
and phpmyadmin for my site.
I have a form that inputs a record into a table in my database.
The form is a user picking a fantasy sports team. A user selects a player from a drop down menu.
The players name is got from a recordset that accesses the player database, with the values coming
from the id field and the values from the name, so a user selects a player by there name and not
there unique id value. The code for this is as follows:
<tr valign="baseline">
<td nowrap="nowrap" align="right">GoalKeeper:</td>
<td><select name="gkid_team">
<?php
do {
?>
<option value="<?php echo $row_rs_pt_gk['gkid_gk']?>" ><?php echo $row_rs_pt_gk['gkname_gk']?></option>
<?php
} while ($row_rs_pt_gk = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_pt_gk));
?>
</select></td>
What i'm trying to achieve is that when a user selects a player from the drop down menu, their price is displayed in the table cell next to the menu. The value is held in the same table of database as the names and id values. I need to do it so the page doesn't need to be refreshed so i assume i need to use some sort of javascript, php and/or maybe ajax. However with java and ajax i have very little or no experience so i'm not really sure what i'm doing. I've been on numerous forums, looked in text books and have been searching the net for hours but i can't seem to solve this problem.
Any help or advice would really be appreciated as i just can't seem to get my head around it,
Thanks,
pb1uk

can this be done??? thanks in advance annieYes.
One way of doing it is submitting the form on change of the selected value and fetch back the query results. Have a servlet invoke the method and set the results in the request.
Another way (not recommended) is to fetch the results corresponding to all the values in the dropdown and have it in the session. The latter solution would obviously be slow.

Auto populate blank text fields with n.a from a button or on print out.

This seems straight forward but I cannot find an existing questions on this topic.
I would like to add a form function that will fill any blank text fields with n.a. I do not want to use the default field value as I think it will cause confusion and cannot be applied for text fields formatted for dates. Is it possible to run a script that can do this? It would be OK if the action was triggered from a button or print activity after the rest of the form has been completed.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

The question is whether your form is used only for filling out on screen (and not as a level 0 form, being printed out and filled out manually).
If so, why not make the default value of the concerned fields to be "n/a" (or whatever you want to name them). That would relieve you from any validating before printing.
Otherwise, you could maintain a list of field names which should get the n/a value if empty. This list would be an array.
Your code in the willPrint event (if you want to have it reliably) would then look like this:
for (var i = 0 ; i < nafieldarray.length ; i++) {
if (this.getField(nafieldarray[i]).value == this.getField(nafieldarray[i]).defaultValue) {
this.getField(nafieldarray[i].value = "n/a") ;
