Can I make certain fields conditionally required?

I am TOTALLY new to acrobat- just to put that out there first. I am wondering in acrobat (NOT formscentral or indesign) how to make certain fields required based off the answer of the previous required field.
I.E first required field- "is this a single application?" if so, do NOT make the next few fields required
"is this a joint application?" if so, make the next rew fields required.
Can I get some help with this?
Thanks!

What is commonly done is a button is used to initiate the email, using a "Submit a Form" action and specifying the email address of the recipient. The submit will fail if any fields that are marked as required are blank. In your case, you need to set the required property of certain fields conditionally, based on the sate of the form, and this will require a bit of scripting. It's not overly complicated though and you can get some help here.
The Acrobat help document is a good place to start, though it won't help with JavaScript programming. A good resource is AcrobatUsers.com where there are a number of tutorials and other resources available about forms.
Be aware that submitting form by email is often less reliable than expected, for many different reasons. A more reliable and secure approach is to set up the form to submit to a web server, but this involves even more expertise as it involves server-side programming and interacting with a PDF form. Emailing may seem sufficient for your needs, but be aware of the alternatives.

Make certain fields in the Account Detail Page Read-Only based on a Checkbo

Hello
We would like to make certain fields on the Account Detail Page Read-Only based on a checkbox that is on the Admin Account Detail Page. The fields we are looking to make read-only are Account Name, Primary Address, Phone Number.
Thanks

Brian,
I think you'd need to use dynamic page layouts for this. Look at the Account type values, if you are already using it then replicate those values you have so if you have Business and Personal make it Business Read-only and Personal Read-only.
When you are ready to lockdown those fields change the Account type from Business to Business Readonly and have the page layout for this screen with Account type, Name, Primary address and phone number as read only. You will a separate page layout for yourself so that Account Type stays as writable for you.
You will need to check if you can have Account Name as read only as it is a required field.
cheers

How can we make a field confirm control compulsory field

how can we make a field 'confirm control' compulsory field while creating a vendor code
this field is under tab default data material tab while creating vendor code in purchasing org .part of vendor

Hello,
This can be done using the configuration..
Go to Logistics - General >Business Partner>Vendors>Control>Define Account Groups and Field Selection (Vendor)--> and select the vendor group for which you want this field to be mandatory.
Press details --> in the block "field status", double click Purchasing Plant and again double click Plant level purchasing data, in the second page (down), you can see the confirmation control key, that you have to make as req entry.
If you want the conf control key to be mandatory for all the vendors groups, then you can do this by purchasing organisation level..that config node is just below this settings.

Yeasin

Hi Yeasin,
There are three ways.
1) By using incompletion procedure by using OVA2 T.Code which is already discussed by Raja.After this assign this incompletion procudere to your document type in VOV8 and also check the box incompletion messages.
2)By using SHD0 T.Code.
Goto SHD0 T.Code.
Enter the transaction code as "VA01".
Select the transaction variant as "BUS2032".
Two programs will appear .Select the last one(BUS2032_4480).Click on details.
Search for the field "VBKD-KDGRP" using "CTRL+F".
Against that field tick the mark Required.
Save.
3) By using SE51 T.Code.
Enter the program name as "SAPMV45A" and screen number as "4301".
Select Layout editor.
Click on Change.
The screen layout will be opened.
Select the field "Customer group" and double clik on it.
Attributes screen will be opened.
Goto Program tab and for the Input field,tick this and for input select the option required from the dropdown.
Save.
Now If you then you can find it as mandatory.Among these three you can use any one.

How can you make a field "key" in transformation rules - master data maping

Hello ,
We are in the process of creating some custom master data datasources for HR module. In this we are trying to extract fields from particular infotypes. In my situation we are pulling fields from only one table PA0032. From this table I am making a view where in I am selecting all the key fields from that table and including 2 other fields (Buliding name and room number). Now I create an ATTR master datasource with this view and check in RSA3 I see the data very good. All this is time dependent data like for Employee he might be in buliding AB room 32 first and then get moved to Buliding CD room 34. So we need to keep a history of the records. Now I replicate the DS in BW system, and create custom infoobjects for building and room no. I create an infoobject called Zworkaddress and dates I use 0VALIDTO and 0VALIDFROm. I make both the dates, bulding and room as attributes of ZWORKADDRESS. Now I map all the fields from datasource to the infoobject but field ZWORKADDRESS is on,y coming up as KEy field not the dates and subtype. Thats why I am getting only the last record not all the records of the emplyee work address.
We are using BI 7.0, so my question is how can I make the other fields as key's so that I can have all records.
Thanks in advance.

Kiran,
If you make any one time dependant system will create Dateto and date from internally. we don't need to add those.
1. for Employee, add Company Address as attribute. make this as Time Dependant. keep Subtype as Compounding key to your employer. then you will get Employee, Sub Type and Dates as key fields. you can have complete history of Employee Address change.
Hope this helps.

How can I make a field unfillable when a check box or radio box is selected?

I'm looking to create a rule that makes selected fields un-fillable when one check box is selected, and fillable when another is selected. Is this possible in Adobe Acrobat?

In that case they are mutually exclusive, or at least should be...
You can use something like this as the custom MouseUp script for the check-boxes:
if (event.target.value=="Yes") {
     this.getField("Field1").readonly = true;
     this.getField("Field2").readonly = true;
     this.getField("Field3").readonly = true;
     this.resetForm(["Field1", "Field2", "Field3"]); // this line will clear those fields as well
} else if (event.target.value=="No") {
     this.getField("Field1").readonly = false;
     this.getField("Field2").readonly = false;
     this.getField("Field3").readonly = false;

Struts validator for two fields(conditional required)

Have a Drop down and an input field.
When user selects "Type 1" from drop down only then the input field is required. otherwise it's not a required field.
Looking at the validator guide in struts maybe I have to create a new validator rule which should check if drop down value "Type 1". But not sure how to code to say that the input field is required here.
How to do this?
Thanks.

Yes you have to check for drop down value "Type 1".
when you hit on submit it goes to the validation function right ...
there add a condition. Check if tpe 1 is selected , if so proceed validation the text box , else skip that validation and come out.

Can you make certain social network applications available in all countries?

I've recently been hearing a lot about the application Yik Yak, and I wanted to download it. However, when I went to download it, I found out it wasn't available for Singapore users, but only for United States users. This I find rather unfair because there are a lot of people all around the world who are unable to download certain applications or even purchase certain items from the itunes store, simply because they do not live in the United States. Is it possible, to make certain applications and even items accessible to the whole world rather than just the US?

Contact the developer.

Can I make form fields highlighted by default?

When the user opens the form, can the form fields be highlighted by default?
Thanks.

Normally you;d place the code in a document-level JavaScript, outside of a function definition. To do this, select: Advanced > Document Processing > Document JavaScripts > Add
- Yes, that's exactly what I did and pasted the code above into it, giving it a name.
Delete the function skeleton that it provides by default and enter the code.
- I didn't see any function skeleton, but a blank window.
But I want to make sure we're talking about the same thing. What I suggested will highlight the active fields (e.g., not hidden and/or not read-only) with a background color, which defaults to light blue. If you're asking about a field border color, what you may be seeing are the red borders of the fields that are marked as required, which is a different matter. Can you clarify which you're asking about?
- No, I don't see any red borders. Yes, I wanted to highlight the active fields with a background color. In the case of the code above, the color is "red" not blue so I expected to see a red background color. Won't the code above make the background color red? My forms open with a blue highlight by default (can't figure out why) so the only way I can check to see if it's working is to use a different color.

How to make a field as "Required" ?

Hi,
I have two fields: payment method and expiration year, both picklist.
There are 5 values for payment method. Leaving one value say 'card on file'
of payment method i want to make my expiratioin year a required field for any other value selected in payment method.
For this 'card on file' , expiration year should be a normal field. This should happen dynamically . Can this be done through configuration or eScripting is required?
Please help how this is to be done.....
Thanks,
Sara

Hi Axel,
I have tried writing the following code in applet's Applet_ChangeFieldValue method.
if(field == "Payment Method" && value == "Credit Card")
var vApp = this.Name();
alert(vApp);
alert(this._applet.docName);
var doc = eval(this._applet.docName);
var file = doc.getElementById("Expire_yr");
file.innerHTML = "<img src="images/icon_req.gif" alt="Code Validated field" border="0" space="0" hspace="0">Expiration Year";
Here, i am just trying to test if for payment method "Credit Card" my Expiration year field is becoming mandatory or not.
In Applet > Control > Expiration Year : for caption string ovverride i have written
“<span id='Expire_yr'>Expiration Year</span>”
in BC (Payments) i haven't checked the "Required" prop of Expiration year field.
In field user property i have created a rec and set the name: Required and Value to IIF([Payment Method] == "Credit Card","Y","N")
Still, not able to achieve the desired result,
Please suggest something about the code..
Thanks,
Saira
