Best way to pre-populate material variable with values for users

Hi, I have a requirement to prepopulate a material variable with about 5 materials and that is the materials that will default when the query is called. The users would also need the ability to change those values.
My thought is to create a User-exit variable that derives the values from a user maintained table (infoobject).
Does anyone else have any suggestions or ideas on the best way to handle this?

I don't know if there is a best solution...
Infoobject
With this option you have to create a new infoobject (ZMATERIAL) without attribute (you need only a list material codes) and then to set the authorization profile for the user in order to manage the content.
The creation of an infoobject corresponds to a table creation, but you don't need any other specific options that belong to the infooject (as technical object)...
Table
With this option you have to create a Z table with only one field and then to allow the maintenance of the table by SM30....
In the ending, if you want to be a purist use the table, otherwise use an infoobject (but there are no significant differences !
Bye,
Roberto

Parallel ledger with values for past period

hi
we are creating addl ledgers with different fiscal year variant
is it possible for me to fill up this ledger with values for a past period?
my fiscal year variant is V3 April - March, however I need the parallel ledger for calender year Fiscal Yr Variant K4.
Going live with this in april is it possible to populate this ledger with values for jan-march period
regards
sameer

HI,
I am not sure if it is helpful but what you can do is to define an asset movement type limited to a valuation area, which allows you to post for example acquisitions only in on valuation area, but not in the other one.
Thus you can post ABSO with one asset movement type for one valuation area (APC-value X) for another valuation area use another movement type and post APC value Y.
Anyway the difference of the APC value (thats not ativated) needs to be posted to an P&L account.
Maybe there are other/better suggestions from other people.
Best regards, Christian

What is the best way to define this missing variable?????

I think I am almost there with this question, thanks for working with me on this: trying to make buttons go target cue points in video
I get this error code:
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable seek_btn is not defined.
import fl.video.*;
// Video component instance name
var flvControl:FLVPlayback = display;
var flvSource:String = "lou.flv";
// Set video
flvControl.source = flvSource;
// Add seek functionality to the button
function seekHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
flvControl.seekToNavCuePoint("lou1")
seek_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, seekHandler);
seek_btn1.cuePointName = new String();
seek_btn1.cuePointName = "lou1";
seek_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onButtonPress);
seek_btn2.cuePointName = new String();
seek_btn2.cuePointName = "lou2";
seek_btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onButtonPress);
// onButtonPress function
function onButtonPress(evt:MouseEvent):void {
flvControl.seekToNavCuePoint(evt.target.cuePointName);

Definitely.... you are trying to assign a listener to something that does not exist
seek_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, seekHandler);
If you do not have a seek_btn, the best way to define the missing variable is to create the seek_btn object. If you don't plan to, then rather than define it, get rid of any code that uses it.

Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
MB021Z/A Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

What is the best way to zero a 'custom voltage with excitation' sensor from the front panel?

What is the best way to zero a 'custom voltage with excitation' sensor from the front panel?
Thanks for any help

Hi Donavan,
There are two options for zeroing with the NI-9237. You can perform offset nulling and shunt calibration with a strain task, or if you use custom excitation you can use software compensation.
See the Bridge Balancing, Offset Nulling section in the Load, Force, and Torque Measurements tutorial. Take a measurement before the strain is applied and subtract this from all subsequent measurements. See the above tutorial to consider the tradeoff in accuracy between these two options.
Hope this helps,

Pre populate an item with source type="Database Column"

Hello gurus,
How can I pre populate an item with source used "Always, replacing any..." and source type="Database Column"?
I have a form that creates/updates rows in a table and when creating a new row I want to populate some of the fields based on some parameters from the previous page. How can I achieve this?
I tried adding a conditional process when PK is null and populate the expected fields, but in the browser they are not shown with those values, even if I look into the session I can see that they have the values assigned in the process ?!?!?!
Thanks in advance,
Florin

Florin,
Use the Default Value item attribute. In you case, set the Default Value Type to Static Text with Session State Substitutions and enter your item using the &P1_ITEM_NAME. syntax in the Default value text box.
Thanks,

What is the best way to set up business accounts with multiple ipads?

Here are three different methods >
How to use multiple iPods, iPads, or iPhones with one computer, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
This article > iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
suggests using contacts groups.
When syncing contacts, you can choose to sync all of your contacts or only selected groups.
You can select a group of contacts to which all new contacts created on your iOS device will be added.
You can set up groups in the Address Book application.
If you are all going to use the same iTunes apps library, turn off "Automatically sync new apps" in the apps tab just below the list of apps. Then you won't get new apps on your device unless you select them.

What is the best way to hookup my airport extreme with my time capsule ?

what is the best way to hookup my airport extreme with my time capsule ?

It sounds like you have the AirPort Extreme configured as the "main" router on your network.
If that is the case, connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to the WAN "O" port on the Time Capsule
Power up the Time Capsule
Connect another spare Ethernet cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the Time Capsule, then click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons and make sure that the setting for Wireless Mode = Off
Click the Internet icon, the click the Internet tab
Insure that the setting for Connect Using = Ethernet
Insure that the setting for Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
Click the Update button at the lower right of the window and wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart
Then power cycle the entire network by powering everything off....order of power down does not matter
Wait a minute
Power up the modem first, and let it run a few minutes by itself
Power up the AirPort Extreme next and let it run a full minute
Power up the Time Capsule next and let it run a full minute
Keep starting devices one at a time about a minute apart until the entire network is back up
You will need to reset the backup path from your Mac to the Time Capsule to get backups going again
Open System Preference (gear icon on the dock)
Open Time Machine
Click Select Disk
Click the Time Capsule to highlight it
Click Use for Backups or Use Disk and backups should begin again in a few minutes
If you do not want to leave the Mac connected to the Time Capsule by Ethernet, remove the Ethernet cable from the Mac to the Time Capsule, then log on to the AirPort Extreme wireless network

Best way to make a clipping mask with indesign drawn vector shapes?

What is the best way to create a clipping mask with vector art that is drawn inside of indesign?
I have a group of vector shapes to paste into a rounded corner box. This art is grouped.
What i tried:
-create the rounded corner box i want the art inside
-cut art
-edit > paste-into
This worked, but i could not figure out how to move the artwork once it was pasted into the shape. With the direct select tool i could move the individual objects, but not the group of objects. Any ideas?
Is this the best way to acomplish what i'm trying to do?
Thanks!

Yopu don't mention the version of ID, which makes a difference here.
Paste Into is correct. In CS5 you can then use the content grabber donut to move the group inside the frame. In all versions you should be able to select the frame, tehn use Object > Select > Content to get the group, or use the button for that onthe Control Panel. Before CS5 you'll need to use the arrow keys or grab the center spot withthe mouse to move the group.

What is the best way to sync multiple collections of contacts among multiple users?

(I originally submitted this question under the "Mac OS X Technologies" section, but got no response. I'm submitting a duplicate here because this is where all the smart folks are! My apologies that my question is only partially related to OS X Server . . . )
What is the best way to sync multiple collections of contacts among multiple users on iOS and OS X?
For example, suppose I have three collections of contacts: Bob's, Sally's, and Common. I want Bob to be able to access and sync Bob's contacts and Common contacts, and Sally to access and sync Sally's contacts and Common contacts. Bob and Sally never need to access or sync each other's contacts. Bob and Sally would both sync and share contacts in Common.
How would I best implement this? It's my understanding I have three options for managing contacts across iOS and OS X: 1. iCloud accounts, 2. Install OS X server, or 3. Install and manage Darwin CardDAV directly. Which method would best support what I wish to do?
I am a seasoned Unix geek well versed in the terminal, so I am prepared to get my hands dirty as much as necessary to achieve what I want. Also, it is sufficient if syncing takes place over WiFi on the local network, in fact, that is desirable versus syncing over the cloud.

Thanks for your reply Nick101. I see my example was oversimplified. When I say "multiple groups of contacts over multiple users" I'm really referring to N groups of contacts over N users.
So I need to add Fred, who can access and sync Bob's contacts, Sally's contacts, and Common contacts, as well as Fred's contacts. Can I do it with OS X server?
You mention you keep your and your partner's contacts administered locally. What keeps you from administering them through OS X server as well?
I am guessing this can all somehow be accomplished with multiple contact accounts, but I can't find any information on the web explicitly describing this.
