Can I Create A Data Entry Form with iWeb?

I want members of my club to be able to make data entry selections each week directly to my web site via a data entry form, and have those entries stored for my retrieval and later posting. Can this configuration be set up in iWeb? Thank you in advance for pointing me in the right direction.

Can I create a data entry form?

I have inherited a large Excel spreadsheet and would like to create a data entry form to input/view data without continually scrolling horizontally. Is this possioble please?
Many thanks,
Gary

Data entry forms and other alternate views of data are best made in a database application. Spreadsheets like Excel or Numbers show data in rows and columns and that's it. If there are two many rows or columns to fit on a page, scrolling is unavoidable. Ditto for tables in Word or Pages.
A database can create displays that put all related data on a single screen or page.
Mac databases include Filemaker and Bento (by the same company). I'm sure there are others, I've just never heard of them.
Good luck,
Terry

Creating a Data Entry Form combining 2 or more tables like a Master Detail

I have a client requirement to create a data entry form which shows fields from 3 different tables joined by linking key. The data entry form should allow the user to enter a new record details. This should populate into 1 or more tables.
Example: User table with userid,username. userRoles with userid,roleid. The user can have one or more roles. There are 4 roles and possibility of expanding. The data entry form should show userid, username and all the possible roles fetching from a look-up table roles_lookup which has role_id, role_description. When a new user is created with 4 roles selected the system should create one user record and r userRoles records.
What is the best approach.
Thanks in advance.
Satya

I found the solution. We can create a database routine to which we pass all the values and in the routine we create two different insert statements. Based on the number of roles selected we can control the loop to create number of records in role table.

Need to create a contest entry form with a survey

I have a client that would like me to create contest entry from with a survey, I know that I can easliy do this using the Web Form builder and have the data captured into the database, the prolem that I have is that my client only wants the customer to be able to enter the contest once. Is there a way to set this up using a Web Apps or other code so that if a person with the email address tries to enter more than once they get a message that says that they already entered?
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks,
Barry

Hi Barry,
Here's a posible solution...
1- Extend the CRM Database with a unique ID field
2- Add this 'hidden' CRM field to the sign up form so every member has an automatically generated unique ID ( see http://forums.adobe.com/message/4520873#4520873 )
3- Create an appropriate web app field and pre-populate it with this ID- lets call this field xyz (hide this field too)
Now, as long as the web app input form is on the web app detail view page, all you'd have to do is compare these two 'strings' i.e {module_cutomerfield,****,*******} and {tag_xyz}
see http://jsfiddle.net/Webmosphere/Wqvcj/2/
var alreadyPosted = "{module_cutomerfield,****,*******}";
if (alreadyPosted == {tag_xyz})
$('.removeMe').remove();
In this example, the element with a class 'removeMe' is removed from the DOM...what you could add under the same if statement is a function to display another element that perhaps
displays a message such as 'already replied'.
If the form is not on the web app detail view page, you could still ajax in {tag_xyz}....
I hope this helps or at the least sends you in the right direction.

Can I create a sign-in 'form' in iWeb?

Can I create a simple 'form' in iWeb that allows visitors to 'sign in' or leave 'e-mail addresses' (that automatically get sent to my e-mail address)? No passwords or anything complicated.
Ben

No problem...
First, set up a free account at http://freedback.com/
Design a form on their site and select/copy the code they give you.
In your iWeb page, type something like FORMCODE where you want the form to go.
Open TextEdit - free text editor that comes with every mac.
To view the code in an HTML file, choose File > Open and select "Ignore rich text commands." Then locate the .html file and click Open.
(If you publish to your .Mac, mount your iDisk to find it. It will be located at iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/Sitename/Pagename.html)
Find your text, FORMCODE, and replace it with the code you get from Freedback. Save your work.
Remember, if you make a change to a page like this post-publishing, and later re-publish, you have to make the html changes all over again!
You could set up a Find/Replace command in MassReplaceIt (http://www.hexmonkey.brownhost.com/). It's a useful and FREE little program that makes all this post-publish editing MUCH easier and faster.

Creating data entry forms in numbers

How do I create a data entry form in Numbers for Macbook Air?

Hi Francie,
Ever since I switched to the Mac over a decade ago, I've been puzzled by why Apple gives the keyboard interrupt such low priority. When the computer gets busy, keystrokes start to lag. Sometimes, rarely, they are even lost.
The computer gets very busy with Flash websites. If you have several Safari Windows or Tabs running with Flash animation, the fans will start to rev up, a laptop will start to warm your legs (ok in the winter) and your keyboard will lag.
The computer also gets busy when you are editing a large Numbers iWork '09 document. Large for Numbers '09 is not really very big compared to many Excel documents that we are used to seeing in a business setting. This is because Numbers '09 constantly recalculates the document as you type. It doesn't wait for you to finish an entry, it just gets busy recalculating. They tried to address this recalculation problem in iWork '13 (Version 3).
In general, your spreadsheet work will go better if Numbers is the only app you have running. At least close windows, tabs and apps that you aren't using.
One lsat thing is your Free Memory. If you are short on RAM, Restarting your computer will free-up memory by releasing allocations for apps that you may have closed earlier. This is a pain, so it's best to install as much RAM as your computer will hold.

Data entry form problem - form in query-only mode

Hi there,
I am trying to create an data entry form to insert recordacross 2 out of 3 tables. The last of the four tables already have details and does not need to have record inserted into.
This is the scenario, my four tables are Factory, Employee, Works_in. Works_in resolves a many to many relationship between Factory and Employee
Now for a person to be employed in a factory, he must be assigned to a factory.
I have a list of factories already in the database. After choosing a factory from the database, I want to insert records to do with his Fname, Lname, Hiredate bla, bla, bla to the Employee table.
I have a single form with Factory as the master, and 2 tabs each for Employee and Works_in.
After linking all my tables with the ability to choose a factory first on the master form from a combo box and after inserting records into the other forms, it says form running in query-only mode.
What do you think?
Many thanks in advance.
Cube60

I think that's too much of the wrong information.
It sounds like you have multiple forms. Are they Modal or Non-Modal?
What code do you use to call the form that's not working?
Does it work initially and then stop working?

How to Create a PDF of a Webpage Data Entry Form

When using Adobe Acrobat XI, what conversion settings do I need to create a PDF file of a completed webpage data entry form so that the created PDF file contains the data that was typed into the webpage form? Typically whenever I try to do this, I get a PDF file that is a copy of the webpage form but does not contain any of the information that was entered into the form. If I want to retain the information that I entered into the webpage data entry form, I have to retype it into the PDF file that I created.

What did you get when you print to "Adobe PDF" ?

What can be considered as the business logic of simple data entry form

Hi all,
I want to separate my applications logic into layers. It is a simple data entry form and doesn't contain any complex business logic. So I want to get this simple business logic to different layer. But the problem is, I cannot clearly identify what are business logic of this kind of simple data entry form.
How do I separate business logic of this simple data entry form to another layer?
any help is appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Dil.

Suppose that the data comes into your system immaculate from some external system. Imagine that it will go out into some other system. The bits that you would still have to write are your business logic.That's a nice practical definition. Thank you, I'm stealing it.
Also interesting to note that validation falls into that category... say you're recieving data from a magical external source... you still have to validate it.
And of course you'd still have to store it somewhere, ans retrieve it.
Yep, I definately like that definition.

How to populate new record on data entry form based on search results?

Hello,
I'm new to jdeveloper im using version 11.1.2.1.0.
Usually Im using forms 10g.
I created search panel with table and its working but problem is how to transfer/populate all the field value according to that search result to New data Entry Form
by clicking the table record or a button.
Given :
TABLES,EO
1. PatientMasterIndex
2. PatientTransactionMaster <<---- master
3. PatientTransactionDetail <<-- detail relation
Here the scenario,
After Search of any patient, when i clicked one or more patient (which Jdeveloper allow multi select on jtable) on the table record it should automatically transfer or copied to the text field, i want to show on the form of PatientTransactionMaster like PatientNumber,PatientInsuranceNumber etc. to be save on db as new record, also non database field for view only like patient Name,address,age.
IN forms i can do that by :PatientTransactionMaster.PatientNumber := :blocksearch.PatientSearchNumber ,etc.....
or an item trigger to populate the said PatientTransactionMaster block. ( select .... into :PatientTransactionMaster.PatientNumber,etc....)
Any suggestion,links,sample is highly appreciated.
Sorry for my english.
Thank you very much

Hi,
Do you want to create a detail record that will include some values from your master record??
Or do you want to create a record with values from your Search criteria, only in the case you do not have any results?
if it is the second case.
When do you want to do that? After a press of button? or immediately?
In general you have to handle the values from search criteria.
Additionally, if you use ViewCriteria, you have to have bind variables for your search criteria that you will want to use.
So in general, you have to know the values by using bind variables, understand that the query has no results (This can be done in many ways, depending on your implementation. if you are using a button, you could make a disable condition with iterator.estimatedRowCount property.)
Perform the insert operation with the values from the bind variables.
Regards,
Dimitris.

Data entry form to submit to a web Service using webcenter

Currently using Jdev 11.1.1.3, but have potential to upgrade to 11.1.1.4 or 5
Most examples I see in the docs is using web services in webcenter is to display data but I need to pass data to a web service to process the data.
Considering ways to show on a webcenter page a data entry form to send the entered data to a web service. Potential ways:
1. Use Omniportlet that is based on a web service and define for each of the fields a parameter mapped to a displayed field. Submit the data to the web service to be processed.
2. Use ADF syntax to create a web service proxy. Create a form with the needed fields, code a managed bean that uses the proxy code to submit the entered data in the form. Place the form on the webCenter page, but the webcenter already have a <af:form>, so a partialSubmit and autoSubmit set to "true" might be needed.
Haven't used either and would greatly appreciate ideas and suggestions.
Thanks

With the omniportlet, you'll also have to test the form and so on :)
My suggestion is indead an extra step but it is more flexible than just creation a DC from a WSDL. I already have done some implementation in Webcenter for web services and i started by just using the DC from a WSDL but soon i noticed that i needed more flexibility. That's why i suggest to create a proxy and create your own layer in front of it. This way you can easily control what you expose to your DC and do some initializations were needed. It offers a great deal of flexibility. That's why i suggest using the proxy + dc instead of wsdl + dc.
When you should decide for migrating to Webcenter PS3, you can even expose datacontrols to your resource catalog. This way you can create your DC in JDeveloper and allow the business users to put the data controls on the page. a realy nice feature.

"Correct" way to do data entry form?

I have a situation where I want to build a page that will accept input for a number of fields. The data entered will be passed to a PL/SQL procedure that will then be sent to another application. There are no database tables being read, nor are any being updated. This is just a simple data entry screen. I created a separate HTML region for each field so that I can make them so they are not right up against each other. But I am unhappy with what I have created. Is there a "best practice" method for creating a data entry screen so that I can have data fields that I control location on the screen (or at least horiz and vert spacing between fields)? I want to put text at various places, etc.
Most of what I have coded has been some kind of interactive report pulling data from a table. That formatting is controlled by APEX. But here I really want to do more free-form work. I know I can code the HTML itself but I need to take the data values entered and use them in a process as parameters. Maybe I am over-complicating this? Would be fine if I had a pointer to an example that I could work with.

The data entered will be passed to a PL/SQL procedure that will then be sent to another application. There are no database tables being read, nor are any being updated.Sounds like it would best to start with a wizard-generated Form on a Procedure based on the procedure.
Is there a "best practice" method for creating a data entry screen so that I can have data fields that I control location on the screen (or at least horiz and vert spacing between fields)?Use item attributes to control the structure of the HTML table used to layout the form, or try using the Drag and Drop Layout tool. The appearance can then be customized using CSS—such as margin and/or padding properties to provide more generous item spacing, e.g.
.formlayout td {
padding-bottom: 1em;
}

User entry form with submit facility

Hi,
I want to create and user entry form, which users can fill there information and submit it. The information i want to insert in table in oracle db and not in webcenter site db.
I am looking in developer guide on page 217 with topic "Code entry form", there they have created a form and inserted data in Employee_info table. I think they have created table somewhere in catalogManager.
Please can anyone tell me, how i can directly connect to my oracle db and proceed with form submit?
Can i create jsp and java file , in the same way we create in our normal application?
Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
You can use most Java code inside a jsp-type CSElement to save the form data in a way that you're familiar with. I'd suggest doing one of the following:
a) Create a separate connection pool on the WebCenter Sites appserver for the oracle database, and use your own code to access this connection pool and store data in the table
or
b) post the form to your "normal application" and have that process the form and store the data, assuming that's where you'll be using the data.
You could also create a non-managed jsp inside the WebCenter Sites appserver, but this could be hard to maintain.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Stephan.
