Change auto numbering in list options
Is their a way to add a new auto numbering format to the list? I need to add a decimal point and a zero to my numbered lists but can't figure out how to do it
Hi
create a separate NEW_LIST with only one column [CURRENT_ID]
Next to your discussion board, add a workflow using SharePoint Designer, and attach to the post ( in a DB are existing 2 diff content types: post and messages ( replies ) ),and set it to start when a new post is addes
Next in the workflow, extract value from NEW_LIST [CURRENT_ID] , add +1, replace/update the new value in NEW_LIST [CURRENT_ID] , and next also update your DB's NEW_ID column with NEW_LIST [CURRENT_ID]
Let me know if you need more details

Auto-numbering of list continues on to next list
Hi all, I have three defined lists in my document (InCS4)...
1. bulleted multilevel
2. numbered multilevel
3. numbered (i, ii, iii) multilevel
The first two lists work fine. The numbered (i, ii, iii) multilevel list seems to carry on upwards (iv, v, vi, etc...) on the next list a few paragraphs later. I'm not understanding how it's possible that I am breaking out of a list (via a paragraph of text), and the next 'new' list resumes auto-incrementing from the last list. I'd like to simply start a new list and have it auto-increment from the beginning... in this case 'i'......
Any help is appreciated. TIACheck out the following link. I think you'll find your answer here.

How do I turn off auto numbering of lists?
I've tried unselecting all boxes in the preferences / auto correction menu and Pages still tries to add numbers or letters to items.
I just figured out one neat trick. If you don't want the next line of your text to be numbered in your document, hit "Control-Enter" instead of "Enter" when you create a new line. It will give you a blank line to work with.

How to change numbering in List?
Can I change numbering of lists? As in Keynote for iMac, one can choose to start from any numbers, or continue from previous.
Not change order. I have ten bullets numbered from 1 to 10. The first five fit on one page, but the other five need to go to the next page. Therefore I need to be able to number these bullets from 6 to 10.

How to use auto numbering with ENG_ECO_PUB.PROCESS_ECO (EBS version 12.1.1)
Hi All,
I'm trying to create a new ECO using the PL/SQL API "ENG_ECO_PUB.PROCESS_ECO". I want the ECO name to be automatically assigned by the system but when leaving the ECO_NAME empty (in paramter P_ECO_REC) I get the error message:
"You must enter an ECO name and organization because they are the primary identifiers of a business object. Please ensure that these values exist in all your records and re-run the import process."
I have set the profile option "ENG: Change Order Autonumbering - System Administrator access" to yes.
I have set following fields in P_ECO_REC:
p_eco_rec.organization_code := 'V1';
p_eco_rec.change_type_code := 'ECO';
p_eco_rec.description := 'Test';
p_eco_rec.transaction_type := 'CREATE';
p_eco_rec.plm_or_erp_change := 'ERP'; -- also tried with 'PLM'
p_eco_rec.approval_status_name := 'Approved';
Do I need to set anything else?
Thanks,

I checked note 1242524.1, but there's no advice what to configure for using auto numbering.

How to Build an Auto-Expanding Select list
Hi everyone,
I want to know if it's possible How to Build an Auto-Expanding Select list ?
I saw some discussions which tell us to use Jquery to acheive this. Is it the only solution ?
I want a solution that it is easy to implement.
Thanks in advance. Bye.Hi,
Not sure what you've seen before, but anywhoo:
In my select list, i set element attributes of :
style="min-width: 130px"Just because some of the smaller values were getting truncated.
Then I add this onload javascript code:
$('#P10_AUTO_EXPANDING').change(function(){
$(this).width($('option:selected', this).text().length*10)
})It's not perfect for getting the right size (i.e. i think it increases exponentially, but you can play around with the multiplier)
Which you can see: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=45448:10:
Edited by: trent on Dec 15, 2011 10:35 AM
Probably best to add this line of code:
$(this).width($('option:selected', this).text().length*10)
into a dynamic action for a change event of the item, of which the true action is to execute javascript code. -
I recently did the iOS 7.0.2 update, now I'm unable to purchase apps. "App could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later. ". I have tried a few of the suggestions and nothing has worked. Reset,change auto lock time on main screen, change language setting. Now what???
This sorted it for me:
Backup your iPhone to iCloud (I believe backing up to iTunes will work too). Now go to "Settings --> General --> Reset --> Erase All Content and Settings" to completely restore your iPhone to factory settings. Assuming you've backed up to iCloud, you'll be asked when setting up your iPhone if you want to restore from an iCloud backup. Choose that option and once your iPhone has restored itself from your backup, this annoying problem will finally be gone! (was for me anyway).
To restore from an iTunes backup, connect your iPhone to your computer, load iTunes. Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up. -
Attachment List option in PR , SO and NOTIFICATION etc
Hi All,
The Create ,Attachment List option in generic object services (GOS)
doesn't work sometimes in Purchase requisition(ME52N and ME53N) , Sales Order , Notification etc.
The (Services for Object ) Button is always Visible however the Create
Attachment , Attachment List and other options will not be Visible to the
users.This happens sometimes with all the users, however after a while
all the options will be available.
We are facing this issue since last 3-4 weeks.
Thanks and Regards
Maheshask your basis team if they have changed some settings, maybe you loose connection to the content repository.

Change from Parameter to Select-options.
Hi All,
Requirement is to change the existing program.
One of my requirement is to change parameter(P_VKORG) to Select-options(S_VKORG).
I mean earlier we have only one Slaes Organization, now we have got to use multiple Sales organizations. For this requirement I have used select-options insted of Parmeters.
But the code has:
a)PERFORMS using Parameters( P_VKORG). This inturn is used in the select statement of the FORM-ENDFORM.
b)READ statement also has P_VKORG in where condition.
How should these be replaced with Select-options(S_VKORG)?
What would be the effect if I directly replace them with S_VKORG.
Kalyani Tyou cannot just directly replace with S_VKORG.
select option is a structure with 4 fields, sign, option, low and high, hence it has to be dealt accordingly.
a. performs has to be changed to 'tables S_VKORG'
eg. perform get_data tables s_vkorg.
b. read statement has to be modified to deal with multiple values. best option will be to select for data in s_vkorg, and save in an internal table.
for eg, if select option was for vkorg,
select vkorg from tvko into t_tvko where vkorg in s_vkorg.
now t_tvko has list of possible vkorgs - regardless of we had a range or ne or gt or CP or whatever we had in select option.
now modify the read table to do for entries in T_TVKO.
c. in the select statement which is used in forms, wherever you see ' = P_vkorg' , replace with IN S_VKORG. -
Problem when create auto numbering in BP master using Formatted Search
Hi all,
I have a problem in creating auto numbering in BP for Customer type using Formatted search
My query is like this
declare @tempNo as char(20)
set @tempNo=(select Isnull(max(REPLACE(OCRD.CardCode , LEFT(OCRD.CardCode,10),'')),0) + 1
from OCRD where (CardType ='C') and LEFT(OCRD.CardCode,3) = 'CU.' )
set @tempNo='CU.'left(convert(varchar,GETDATE(),112),6)'.'+@tempNo
select cast(@tempNo as char(20))
It should be creating the new number for example
CU.201101.1
CU.201102.2
CU.201103.3
CU.201103.4
The format will be like this CU.YYYYMM.autonumbering
So if the current year is still the same it will always increase the number and it will reset the number become 1 if the current year is change.
But when i execute the number , the number doesn't increase, still generate the last number CU.201103.4
I have use this query in generate item number, it runs well but different format.
Is there some thing wrong with my query?
Thanks in advance

Hi everyone,
I have a 24-page facing pages document. The first and last pages are the cover for this booklet I'm doing, and the first page will be on the inside cover and therefore a left hand page. I'm using master pages for the inner pages of the booklet and have used automatic page number on these master pages. With it set up like this, the second page of the file (which is actually page 1 of the inner pages) is showing as page 2 since it's a left hand page being the inside cover, but I need it to show page 1. I tried clicking on this second page and choosing "Numbering and Section Options" and then chose "Start page numbering at 1", this changes the page number to 1 but it also makes this page a right hand page whereas in fact I need it to stay a left hand page and just change the numbering.
Is this possible in Indesign CS2?
Appreciate any advice.^ There is something to be said for David's response and I would certainly check with your printer before sending it to them.
If you do need to number your pages such that odd numbers fall on LH pages, uncheck "Allow Pages to Shuffle" from the flyout menu of the Pages Palette before changing the section start.
We actually have to do this in Teacher Editions quite frequently because the A, B, C teacher insert pages frequently start on a the left page (and A is equivalent to 1 in InDesign's pagination brain). -
Auto Select Available Shipping Options
After a user enters a zip code they must choose an Available Shipping Options. In my case I am only offering one shipping option and would prefer this to be auto-selected for them to ease the process. I have attempted the following code but it did not work:
var $radios = $('input:radio');
$('#shippingPostcode').change(function() {
$radios.trigger('click');
How would I auto-select the only option available?
Thanks!Yes drop me a line, I've re-written nearly of this Javascript to auto select based on 1 input. Not done it for Fedex but have done it for the Australia post but the code and UI interface is the same.

Position of Numbers in List (RoboHelp 8 HTML)
Apologies if this question has been answered before; I looked through a lot of threads about numbering and lists.
My question is whether you can change the numbers in an ordered list to appear left justified. Currently, when a numbered listed goes into double digits, it looks like this:
9. Step 9
10. Step 10
Would it be possible to make it look like this, with the 1 in 10 directly under the 9 instead of to the left:
9. Step 9
10. Step 10
I have tried changing different settings but am not sure how to go about it.
If this is not possible, is there a setting to allow numbers/characters to appear in the margin area of a topic? In my project, we don't indent any of our lists - they need to line up with the paragraph above (which is not indented and start at 0 pt). This seemed to work in RoboHelp 5, but we have upgraded to 8 and now the 1st digit is cut off when you get to step 10. For example:
Appearance in RH5:
Paragraph text.
1. Step 1, etc
9. Step 9
10. Step 10
11. Step 11
You can see both digits in the number 10 in design view as well as in the published webhelp. The first digit is to the left of everything (even to the left of the "Normal" paragraph style which is 0pt), but you can still see it. However, in RH8, you can see both digits in design view, but not in preview or in webhelp. In preview/webhelp, it looks like this, with the first digit being cut off:
Paragraph text.
1. Step 1, etc.
9. Step 9
0. Step 10
1. Step 11
Is there any way to change this so the first digit appears in the preview/webhelp?
Thanks very much and please let me know if I haven't been clear.
ChrisHi Chris.
I know you are looking for a solution to this numbering problem, and frankly, I don't have one. But since this isn't the first numbering / outline position issue I have seen with RH, especially RH8, I had to interject a question.
Why are you even numbering instructions? Have you considered not doing so?
I know you are probably thinking I am an idiot - but here's the thing. In the past 15+ years I have been in the wonderful world of help authoring, I have NEVER numbered a set of instructions, unless ordered to do so - and I usually could convince my opponent that it wasn't necessary. And guess what? No end user has EVER complained that the process they were following didn't work because they did the last thing first, or the third thing eighth, or whatever.
I have always used bullets. Sometimes, I will use checkboxes as the bullets - but that's as fancy as I get. I do indent my Procedure style a little too. But that's it. Although end-users can be hysterically silly sometimes, I think that they do now have the presence of mind to follow a set of instructions in the order that they are given.
OK, that's my two cents. Off my soapbox. But seriously. Consider how much effort you are taking to force instructions into a format that probably isn't necessary.
Good luck, if you decide to press on. -
Hi everybody
I'm using oracle 9i , and I want to add auto-numbering identity column to existing tables, how can I do this? is it possible to add it for already existing rows?
and is it necessary to link the related tables through this new added ID???
thanks in advanceAn "auto-numbering identity column" is a bit of a SQL Server-ism. In Oracle, you can create a sequence object and use that in your insert statement or create a BEFORE INSERT trigger that populates the value, i.e.
CREATE SEQUENCE my_sequence
START WITH 1000
INCREMENT BY 1
CACHE 100;
INSERT INTO my_table( new_id_column, <<column list>> )
VALUES( my_sequence.nextval, <<more data> );Justin -
How do I turn off auto-numbering?
I want to turn off auto-numbering in iWeb. I tried doing it in the Inspector under Text/lists by selecting "none" but that didn't work. Can anyone help?
Thanks, Old Toad. I'll try it. While continuing to work the problem last night, I discovered if I hold down "shift" when I hit "return" to go to the next line, it suppresses numbering and I can do it myself, the old-fashioned way. I remember seeing that trick in another iWeb context in a Google search, but it appears to work on numbering, too.
Hey, if I want numbering, it's surely simple enough that I can do it myself, just like if I want to type the word "the"! I'm a touch typist, and I can fly when I get going, and any sort of "auto" function trips me out of the flow, actually making what I'm doing harder, not easier. The "shift-return" solution will also make it harder, until I get it down pat. Maybe one of these days the propellor beanies will bring in an actual user for a consult before they force such dubious improvements on the whole population. I'm sure there are folks who think this is cool, but that doesn't mean it's progress.
Anyway, thanks for your help.
Best,
Steve
