Comments field in project

Is there a way to capture the clip file names with the comments field, in plain text, to import into MS Word? So far all that allows printing this material is using "print-screen" and bringing it into photoshop to print.
Thanks...

The PRPROJ file is an XML database, so one can edit it in a text editor. Now, I am not sure exactly how the Description data are listed, but would assume somewhere around the word, "Description." You can Open the file in, say NotePad, and then do a Search/Find. To simplify that, and to give me the clues on where to look, I'd type in some unique character string, say "QWERTY," and do the Search/find for that. You will then get a look at the text string, where this part of the data appears, and can then use that to do additional Searches/Finds.
There could be utility, that can strip out select strings from the XML, and maybe package them as DOC, TXT or other, but I do not know of one off-hand.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to read the comment field of the Leave of absence Workflow.

Hi,
I have attached a custom Workflow template to the
Standard class "CL_HRASR00_WF_PROCESS_OBJECT" and event "TRIGGERED" for my Personal leave of absence approval.
During the Workflow step, once the approval goes to the final approval step and it is there in the Benifit Administrator's inbox (Portal) for approval, the Benift Admin is having an option of Withdrawing the process(Withdraw Process button). After filling the comments field, once he clicks this withdraw button the standard class "CL_HRASR00_WF_PROCESS_OBJECT" event "WITHDRAWN" gets triggered and it calls a separate workflow.
I need to capture this comment in the new Workflow but not able to do the same.
Can anyone let me know how can I do this. The event container does have any parameter to pass this value to the workflow container. And since the Step_Object GUID also changes I am unable to read it in the second workflow.
Looking for some real help as this has become critical for the project.
Thanks is andvace.

Hi All,
Thanks for your reply Trevor, but I guess you misunderstood my question. What I am not looking for is not the absence data. Basically I need to capture the comments put in by the Benifit administrator in the Leave of absence application form (Personal or Maternity/child care ), incase when he goes for withdrawing the Application submitted by the Employee.
To elaborate it functionality step by step...
1. An employee logs on to portal and submits a LOA application with a few mandatory field ( Commencing date,Returning Date, Reason).
This kicks of a Workflow say WF1 attached to
ABAP Class- CL_HRASR00_WF_PROCESS_OBJECT, Event- TRIGGERED.
2. Then after executing a few tasks to retrive data it goes to the Manager for approval. Once the manager appoves it goes to the Benifit Administrator.
3. The Benifit Administrator can approve the application or has an option of withdrawing it.
4. In case the Benifit Administrator goes for Withdrawal, after putting some comments in the form, it triggers the Event-WITHDRAWN of ABAP Class-CL_HRASR00_WF_PROCESS_OBJECT.
5. This event in turn starts a new Workflow WF2.
6. In this Workflow WF2 I need to pull in the comments put in by the Benifit Admin.
How can I pull this comment?

Resource Comments field

I have created a custum resource field "Resource Comment" that I have built into a report. I would like to provide a view that allows a user to populate this field. It appears in the Resource centre edit view, but I don't want to give access to
all the other standard data fields, because someone will chaneg something.
Is there anyway I can create a simple Resource Name and Resource Comment field for Managers to update?
I did try creating a PDP using the Resource Centre Web App, but it provided the same view as Resource Centre and the fields cannot be edited.
Many Thanks.

Hi Dave,
I'm afraid you will need a custom development to do this specific requirement. Or handle it with a new process.
3rd party tools could allow you to do this (bulk edit in a excel like mode) only with the project center. Another way would be to edit the resources in Project Pro, but it will not be restricted to some fields.
Hope this helps,

User Comment field available for reporting?

User Comment field available for reporting?
When doing custom reporting against requests with reportable dictionaries we have a user request to also include the user comments. How do I reference / point to the comments field for a request?

If you are referring to the comments which are added in the Comments and History section of a requisition, this information is not migrated to the datamart and is not reportable.
If, on the other hand, you are referring to a comments field that you have included in a dictionary on the service form, that information will be available in the datamart so long as that dictionary has been made reportable.

Is there a way to simultaneously add text to Comments field for multiple files?

Is there a way to simultaneously add text to Comments field for multiple files? I know I can use Option+Comman+i to bring up the Inspector window but it doesn't have a Comments field. For example, in iTunes you can select multiple files and change metadata for any field simultaneously and easily yet when it comes to the Comments field in the Finder, this seems to be missing.
In our production environment, Comments field is important because we place notes about what drive the file originated then when it gets transferred to LTO-6 tape via LTFS, we can quickly trace it in the event we needed to recreate the hard drive. Because tape archiving is linear, we can't store all of the files on the same tape.
We've tried using Apple's Automator but it too seems to not have a way to batch change text in the Comments field. Any help is appreciated.

What is "order data"?

Id3 tags notes or comments field

I have MP3 files that contain ID3 tags with Comments fields that contain information. When inserted into iTunes library these show up with a blank Notes field. I don't see a Comments field available, so I assume that Notes is the label given that same field by iTunes. However, the content is not displayed.
By the way, I access those fields by right clicking on the song, picking Get Info, then going to the Info tab.
Any clues as to how to get the Notes/Comments field imported or displayed correctly?

Notes? I don't have a Notes field -- I DO have a Comment field.
iTunes support for Comments fields is spotty. It does not support the short description field according to the ID3 specification; maybe it uses an older spec -- to be honest I'm not familiar will all of the ID3 specs, since there are several versions and they all have differences.

Missing values of Enterprise Custom Field in Project Professional and Project Web Access

Hi all,
In Project Server 2010 SP2 we created a custom field called Iteration Path (without a lookup table).
We're in an environment where Project Server task data gets synched from TFS and we've mapped the Iteration Path from TFS to the Enterprise Custom Field in Project Server.
We've triggered synch of all synchronized work items from TFS to Project Server
Then, in the database we can see the Iteration Path values coming across
When I open these projects in Project Profssional, the entire column of Iteration Path is empty.
When I open these projects in Project Web App (from Project Center), the entire column of Iteration Path is empty.
When I open the master project which contains all these projects, no values are shown.
Any ideas what can be wrong?
I did already clear my cache, global.mpt, but nothing changed. We don't have this issue with other Enterprise Custom Fields that are mapped to TFS fields.
Cheers,
Bram

Hi Bram,
In the 4th item, when you say "database", which one are you talking about? Project Server DB? Draft or reporting DB?
If the value are not showing up in Project Pro, it is no need to clean your cache, since the value are obviously not stored in the Project Server Draft DB. The issue is more likely to come from the TFS sync for this particular field. Do you have any logs
for the sync process? If your field in anyway different from the others, containing specific characters?
Hope this helps.

View whole annotations/comments field in Pages 5?

Is it possible to view the whole annotations/comments field in Pages 5? It's so annoying if you have to scroll through the annotations!!

Ditto. This is sad. The app changes and loses features. The old app was pretty nice. The new one is pretty but not nice.
What is even more pretty (as in pretty sad) is that I have to use MS Word now more often because of Pages 5.x) to get things done... minor things like identifying the author of a document.
Hard to have faith in this company and products when they leave you swinging in the breeze with half baked products that have so much potential but like raw cookie dough, can give you an upset stomach after you commit to a plate full.
Put another way, to switch to using my iPad for work I have to be able to rely on Pages on my Mac and my iPad to not leave me swinging in the breeze like this (and this is one example of many many examples).
I really don't mind paying for Pages, even out of my own pocket, but it has to live up to some minimal Pages 4 standard.

Making the comments field Required in the Workitem

Hello,
I have a GP Application wherein the initiator fills out a form which goes to the Approver using Visual Approval Callable Object.........now when the approver opens the workitem he sees the information entered by the initiator and a comments field at the bottom......we want to make this field required for them.......how can we achieve this.....while creation of the Visual Approval Callable Object i see the comments as a output parameter with the 'Is Required' checkbox option....but it is disabled and does not allow you to select it......Please help...
Any help would be highly appreciated...
Regards,
Anil

Hi Anil,
Standard Visual Approval CO doesnt work like that.
Either you can create your own CO.
OR
i can suggest you as follows, but it is making little complicated process.
1. Create one Action with Business Logic callable object, which will check for Comment EQ space or not and have 2 different states.
a. If Comments is blank, Go back to Approval Action
b. If Comments is entered, Proceed for further actions.
2. Set this action as target for Approval Action.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,

How to add multi-line text in comments field of song tags in iTunes 12?

Recently upgraded to iTunes 12 and can no longer enter multi-line text in the comments field of a song tag. Used to use option+return (alt+enter) to go to a new line (carriage return). Can it still be done? Any help in this regard would be appreciated.

See my other post for the solution to this problem.

Problems with the 'Comments' field in iTunes

First, sorry for my english (I'm danish).
I've read a lot of threads here and everywhere else, but can't find a solution for my exact problem. I use Windows Vista and the newest version of iTunes.
Most of my mp3 songs (35.000) are put directly in album folders to the folder 'D:My Music from another computer via a USB drive and the songs already have id3 tag information on them.
I then add the albums to iTunes and most of my tag information is now updated in iTunes. Names, Artists, Genre, Year, everything is okay. By the way the songs have ID3v2.3 tag information. I see that in my Mp3tag v.2.42 application.
But the problem is with the 'Comments' field:
Those tags (originally put to the songs directly in the proberties of the song in Windows Explorer) will simply not transfer to iTunes 'Comments' field. And if I write something in the iTunes 'Comments' field this will not show up in the fields properties in windows Explorer. It looks like the 'Comments' fields in iTunes and in the proberties in the song are not connected at all!?
I then found out, I could let iTunes convert the ID3 codes, but nothing happens except from when using v. 1.0 or 1.1, because then the comments tag are transferres, but unfortunately all the tags will only show 30 characters!!!
And there's also a different story:
A few albums though are put directly on my computer by using iTunes to import the CD. These songs have ID3 v.2.2 tags, so I guess iTunes import files in that format?
And here it's a little different story. If I put comment data directly to the file proberties in Windows Explorer (after the CD's been imported to iTunes), the comments will show up in iTunes, but only as several 0 and 1 digits! On the other hand, if I put information directly in iTunes 'Comments' field it wil show up correctly in the file proberties! But it's only a few songs/albums that are handled that way.
Well, bottom's line, I want to see my comments tags (which are allready there in the song's proberties) when I browse my music in my folders in Windows Explorer and I want to see the exact same comments if I go to browse my music in iTunes. That should not be a problem ... but it is not ...
Can I please get a solution or at least an explanation, and hopefully in not too tecnical terms.

I, too, hope someone will answer this! I am hoping to catalog my entire CD collection in iTunes and I want to include the storage box number somehow, thinking that "comments" would be a good place to do so. If I cannot do that I'll try to find a program other than iTumes to do it. Does anyone have any suggestions on this topic? ...perhaps I need to open a new thread?
THANKS!

Read versions of comments field using javascript client object model

Hi,
Does someone knows how to Read versions of comments field in 'tasks' list using javascript client object model?
Thanks
Manvir

Hi,
According to your description, I know you want to read versions of comments field.
We can use the
SPServices to achieve it. The below code for your reference:
$().SPServices({
operation: "GetVersionCollection",
async: false,
strlistID: "tester",
strlistItemID: 1,
strFieldName: "comments",
completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
$(xData.responseText).find("Version").each(function(i) {
console.log("Name: " + $(this).attr("Information") + " Modified: " + $(this).attr("Modified"));

Can you export the date and user to Excel that appears into a Comments field in a tracking list?

Hi everyone,
Can you export the date and user to Excel that appears into a Comments field in a tracking list?
When i export a tracking list with a Comment field in the Content type, the screen where you enter the data for an item, the Comments field just export the text of the comment into the Excel file.
In the Comments field appears also, besides the comment text, the user and date from who and when the comment is added.
Is there a way to export also the user and the date?
Thanks
Wim

create another comment field that doesn't use 'appending', and through SP Designer change workflow keep
updating that field with the new comments (prepend the field with date/username/new comment). Hide the field on all forms, but put it in the view you need to export to Excel.
Please refer few more links: Hope they will help

Applying Album names to Comments field in iPhoto 6

I was never in the habit of applying anything to photo comments, but gave my albums a desriptive name so I knew what they were. However album titles are not searchable. I'm wondering if anyone knows how to create an Automator workflow or Applescript that could take the Album Name and apply it to the comments field for each picture in the album. I have over 25,000 pictures and quite a few albums. I've started to do it manually for each album but would love to find a quicker way to accomplish this.
Thanks.

Hi elenting,
It must be done within iPhoto. I started doing that awhile ago so I could find images in an album by doing a spotlight search for the album.
This is what I have done using Spotlight to find my images that are in iPhoto albums without opening iPhoto..
In iPhoto, select the album, then select all, go to Photos/batch change.
Change the comments to text. In the text field I put the name of the Album.
Do this for each album.
Close iPhoto.
Open Spotlight and put in the name of the Album ( you have to remember the names of the albums or have then written down)
In the spotlight search results. click on "show all"
Under "Images" click on the "xx more" to show all the images in the album.
Make sure you have it in icon view, the icon view box is the last one on the blue images line.
Now you can control click on the image to "reveal in finder", open in iPhoto or Mail, etc.
I am not sure if this is going to make you happy and it is a little more work, but you can find images in albums and even view them in a slideshow (by clicking the play arrow at the end of the Images highlighted blue line) using Spotlight, all without opening iPhoto.
I've also go to mention a useful widget called "iPhoto mini widget"
This widget will show you all images within it's viewer in an album.
for the image you are currently viewing , go to the Gear icon (menu" and you can choose to "open in" Preview, Mail, Safari or custom. It's pretty handy to choose an image and have it open in Mail to send.

Comments field in RCV_SHIPMENT_LINES

I am working for a client, running on 11i who is using OPM extensively. They are going for R12 upgrade now. The comments filed is populated with "OPM:<Delivery Detail ID>" in 11i. However, the comments field is populated with NULL value in R12. I would like to know whether it is the seeded functionality. If so, what is changed in R12. Please let me know.
