Cascade parameter based on user input

Post Author: jalverson
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I'm creating a quoting report for our product development group. They want a report where they input an item number, then have a drop down box that shows all the sales proposals that this item is on. The user will then select one of the proposals from the drop down box and run the report based on the item number and the proposal selected.
Cascading parameter works but the item list is too long (20k items) to select from. It is easier for the user to enter the item number they want. I can't figure out how to enter an item number in a parameter and then use it like a cascading parameter to populate the drop down box. If it helps, we are using Crystal Reports XI.
I appreciate your with this issue.

i think u can use GET /SET CURSOR command...check for sytax.

How to configure the schema name dynamically based on user input.

configure the schema name dynamically based on user input.
For ex:
We have two schemas:
Schema1 - base schema having 15 tables.
Schema2 - tables which is specific to modules. Having only 10 tables which is also available in Schema1
Login to application using Schema 1
Access a particlular module and select the country. Here country selection is identified.
Based on the country selection, we need to connect the schema respectively.
If the user selects France --> It should connect Schema1
If the user selects Germeny --> It should connect schema2.
Used: Eclipselink

You may want to have a different persistence unit for each country, then you just need to switch persistence units, and can put the schema in your orm.xml file.
You may also want to investigate EclipseLink multi-tenant support,
http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/documentation/2.5/jpa/extensions/a_multitenant.htm
You can the schema in a persistence unit in code using a SessionCustomizer and the tableQualifier.

how to add column dynamically based on from_date to to_date?

You cannot add columns dynamically. But you can define a maximum number of numbers and then hide unused columns in your form useing SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(..,VISIBLE, PROPERTY_FALSE);

Redirect to different pages based on user input value

Hello,
Anyone please help.
I am trying to redirect to different pages based on user inputs. I have a form in which I have one text item and a submit button. For example consider text item to be empno; So once the user enters a empno and hits submit button; I need to redirect to different pages based on this job.
For Ex: if user inputs empno whose job is 'ANALYST' then redirect to page 1
if user inputs empno whose job is 'MANAGER' then redirect to page 10
For this scenario. i wrote a pl/sql process for the submit button; but no luck -- its not at all redirecting instead its in the same page. Below is the process.
declare
v_job varchar2(20);
begin
select job into v_job from emp where empno = :P9_EMPNO_R;
if v_job = 'ANALYST' then
OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL('f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.::', TRUE);
end if;
if v_job = 'MANAGER' then
OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL('f?p=&APP_ID.:10:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.::', TRUE);
end if;
end;Please help. I am using Oracle APEX version 4.2 and database Oracle 11g R2

Thanks,
OrtonI have a similar scenario in my application and this is how I handle it.
1. Create a page item on the page, say Px_PAGE_NUM
2. Create a "On Submit - After Computations and Validations" page process to set the above page item. In your case, you can use the same logic that you have already in place (except the call to OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL) :
declare
v_job varchar2(20);
begin
select job into v_job from emp where empno = :P9_EMPNO_R;
if v_job = 'ANALYST' then
:Px_PAGE_NUM := '1';
end if;
if v_job = 'MANAGER' then
:Px_PAGE_NUM := '10';
end if;
end;3. Create a "On Submit: After processing" branch. Specify the "Target Type" as "Page in the application" and "Page Number" as &Px_PAGE_NUM. (with the dot).
I hope the above helps.
BTW, the following thread in the forum related to OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL might help:
issue OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL with APEX 4.1.1

Drawing a line of asterisks based on user input - where do I start?

Greetings,
I'm trying to write an application that will ask the user for a number then the program will output that number in a line of asterisks based on user input - where do I start?
I really appreciate any informaiton.

import javax.swing.*;
public class numbers {
     public static void main ( String args[])
          String strNumber;
          int number = 0;
          strNumber = "";
     for (int num1 = 0; num1<=5; num1++)
               strNumber = JOptionPane.showInputDialog ("How many Asterisks do you want printed?");
               number = Integer.parseInt(strNumber);
          for(int num=0; num<number; num++) System.out.print("*");
               System.out.println("");
          System.exit(0);
                    }This compiles fine, but it just keep rewriting the same thing... Any suggestions would be greatl appreciated. Also, how would I be able to confine the number entered to under 30?

Displaying columns based on User Input

Hi,
I have a following requirement :
I have four columns in a report : Performance Indicator ,Target (XTD) , Actual (XTD),Indicator(Traffic Lights)
Based on the prompt, which contains column named as "Review Frequency" having values as 1. Monthly 2. Quaterly 3. Yearly.
When User select "Monthly" in pormpt I want to see MTD in Actual and Target column and Indicator depending on these columns.
When User select "Quaterly" in pormpt I want to see QTD in Actual and Target column and Indicator depending on these columns.
Can anybody tell me how can we achieve this?
I think I can achieve this with guided navigation but for that I have to create 3 reports.
Can anybody have any better idea to create just one report and based on user input I can show/hide columns in a single report?
This is mainly related to Balanced ScoreCard.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Vikas

you have seperate columns for monthly, quarterly, and yearly, right?
In the prompt, save the "Review Frequency" as a Presentation Variable "abc";
In the request, you add actual (MTD) column, edit the formula, use something like:
CASE
WHEN @{abc}='Monthly' THEN "- SalesFacts"."actual (MTD)"
WHEN @{abc}='Quarterly' THEN "- SalesFacts"."actual (QTD)"
ELSE "- SalesFacts"."actual (YTD)"
END
then do the same thing for target column.

Query Based On User Input

Hello,
Is there a way that I can get Discoverer to run different queries based on user input? In other words, I have two parameters "A" and "B". If the user enters a value for "A", execute QUERY1. If the user enters a value for "B", execute QUERY2. If both parameters are left blank, execute QUERY3. If the user enters values for "A" and "B", execute QUERY4.
I'm fairly new to Discoverer so any help that I can receive on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

Excel Macro to Delete rows based on user input

I need help creating a macro that will delete rows in a spreadsheet based on user input. Have little to no experience writing macros.
Rows are distinguished based on codes in column B, so if the user types "6657", the row with code 6657 should be deleted. Any help would be much appreciated

Hi,
Please try the macro:
Sub Sample()
Dim Ret As Long
Ret = Application.InputBox(Prompt:="Please enter a row number", Type:=1)
If Ret = False Then Exit Sub
With ActiveSheet
.Rows(Ret).Delete Shift:=xlUp
End With
End Sub

Displaying alert message based on user input on input param screen

Hi,
Based on user input I wish to display an alert popup on my report. I
have provided the user 2 dropdowns called sortasc and sortdesc with all
the column names used in the report to simulate dynamic sorting.This is
because we do not have dynamic sorting in CR XI R2. When the user
selects same column name in both sortasc and sortdesc then the sort
type which has priority in the record sort expert is executed. This is fine but we want an alert
or message popup displayed so as to prevent user from selecting same
column names.
I tried adding an alert with the following code:
if {?sortasc} = {?sortdesc} then true else false
So far I have not been prompted with any alert message box.
Let me know if there is any other option.

Hi Shalu,
I have created a alert and it is working fine, please follow the steps
Create a new Alert using two static parameters and give the condition for message like :
if {?Myworld} = {?Myworld1} Then
'You have entered a correct word'
else
'This is not a correct word'
Then create a condition like :
{?Myworld} = {?Myworld1} or {?Myworld} <> {?Myworld1}
Also check the check box Enabled and save the alert. Now it will popup if the myworld is equal to myworld1 or myworld is not equal to myworld1.
Hope this will help you
Thanks,

Generate charts based on user input

Hello!
My goal is to create an application in which a user would enter information (specifically in the form of numbers and financials). The final output would create a page / document that shows summary of the data and also manipulates the data into bar and pie charts. (We are trying to create side by side comparison charts based on user input.)
I have a subscription to the Creative Cloud, so I have access to a large % of Adobe products. Do you have any suggestions on what application I should use for this project? The final output could be PDF or Web based.
Thank you!
Bethany

Hi Bethany,
You may check out Adobe FormsCentral at https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en/home.html and see if that's what you need. You can create forms using Adobe FormsCentral to collect user input and user responses will be displayed in charts.

How to hide/display chart based on User input parameter

hi,
I have a chart in WEBI report. This report prompts the end user with values {Yes, No}.
If user selects value 'Yes', Chart should be displayed
If user selects value 'No', Chart should be hidden.
Please let me know how to achieve this....
Thanks,
Vamsee

You can use a combination of steps. First, create a filter for the chart block based on your input prompt value. If the user says "No" then the chart should be empty due to the filter. Next, there is a checkbox that tells Web Intelligence whether to show an empty block or not. It is on by default, you can turn it off.
I detail a solution with similar results on my blog where only one of two charts is displayed using a similar technique. It might help you understand more of the concepts.

Widget to get drop down values based on user input query string

Hi,
I have a requirement, where in user types in some text and clicks on a search button. On button click, a drop down or some box appears which has result based on the input string (from json ). User can select one of the values in the drop down or box. User should be able to select values from drop down or box only.
How can I achieve this. Is there any custom widget in CQ for this, or I have to write my own widget.
Can i use SuggestField widget for this? if yes, please give some example for this widget.
I want something similar to "authselection" widget. In case of authselection widget user names come from CQ, in this case user name will come from some other system using a CQ custom json.
If user types "gopa" and click on search , i should be able to call a json with query parameter "gopa" & the result from the query will be in the drop down.

Gopal

Hi Gopal,
Out of the box there are many example. You can look for siteadmin has a reference.

Fixing parameter based on User in Infoview

Hi
I want to know whether there is an option in Infoview to fix the parameter values based on the user who has logged in or any othe similar actions.
What I want to do is
I have one report which gives data for different departments. I have included one parameter Dept Name , based on which report data is distinguished.
I want to fix this parameter for some users like "Accounts" department user can only view data for Parameter "Accounts" only. or "HR" for "HR" only. but "Management" can view data for specific department or all department. This parameter is List of Values.
The report is working fine. only thing i need to do is to "fix" the parameter value as "Accounts" if any user/group of ACCOUNTS logs in. He should not be able to choose any other parameter value like "HR" or "MANAGEMENT" etc.
I am using BO X1 R2
Thanks

This can be implemented by Row level restrictions. Assuming you are on XI, you can do this in the universe by going to Tools>Manage Security>Manage Access Restriction.
You can also read the Designer guide for more details on how to accomplish this.

Derive values based upon user input

Hello,
I recieved a request for a report.
When a user runs the report they are to be prompted for a fiscal year/period.
Based on the fiscal year/period that the user provides I have the following columns (in bold below are 2 examples that may make the description more clear).
1. Revenue for the Fiscal year Prior to the fiscal year of the user input value
2. Revenue for the Fiscal year/Period prior to the input Fiscal year/period
3. Revenue for the Year to date accumulation up to the prior fiscal year/period that the user input
4. Revenue for the Year to date accumulation up to the prior fiscal year (fiscal year rolls back first) and prior period (for period 01, it then rolls back the fiscal year 1 more year) that the user input
Example 1: If the user ran the query and they provided the value 05/2007, then the values that need to be obtained would be:
1. Revenue for 2006
2. Revenue for 04/2007
3. Revenue for 01/2007 to 04/2007
4. Revenue for 01/2006 to 04/2006
Example 2: If the user ran the query and they provided the value 01/2008, then the values that need to be obtained would be:
1. Revenue for 2007
2. Revenue for 12/2007
3. Revenue for 01/2007 to 12/2007
4. Revenue for 01/2006 to 12/2006
Please help me with determining how to obtain the user input value, and then how to derive the time periods for the columns based upon that value.
Thanks,
Nick

Auto populate a textfield based on users input

Hi All,
Working with Designer ES ver. 8.2, and I am looking to see if it is possible to auto fill another field based on an end users input.
Example: End-user enters a 6 digit departmentCode for a program; in turn the field opposite to the departmentCode auto fills with a corresponding programCode; if they do not input the correct 6 digit departmentCode the field will return a null value.
I am trying to move away from my current auto fill drop-down option, so end-user is less likely to select incorrect departmentCode from drop-down
Best Regards
Jeff

radzmar,
Thank you for your response, I assumed there was a simple script to accomplish my task. I had assumed that the .rawValue property would have come into play and was unaware of the xfa.event.fullText property.
Thanks Again
