Create auto-numbered rows?

I'd like to auto-number the first number of a new row when creating a new entry in a form. In other words, when I create a new entry in my form, in the corresponding table the first column is numbered sequentially 1, 2, etc.
I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Any help is appreciated.

I have been trying to do this myself. I would think that if you place a formula like =row()-1 and then added a row beneath that it should copy that formula to your new row. I think the desktop version does this, but not the ipad version, I might have missed a setting somewhere, but cannot find it.

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

My CSS email newsletters look fine in Hotmail. The trick is
to either -
1. Use inline CSS, or
2. Use embedded CSS BELOW the <body> tag.

How do i create a auto numbering field

How do i create a field that is auto numbering? Starting from 1017?
Thanks

Yes only one person will be using the form. This is a inventory receiving report that is filled out everytime inventory is received and and new # is used each time. I have been manually putting the number in the current field and would like it to be automatic now to help cut down on using the same # in error.

Adding Auto-Numbering ID

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 advance

An "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

Auto numbering in an editable table cell

I created a dynamic table with add/delete row buttons and the second column with text fields. The text field I want it to initially say <enter task 1> and <enter task 2> and when the user clicks on the add row button it would then say <enter task 3>. I tried the patterns display but not sure how to get it to do auto numbering. I also tried the formcalc script $ = Concat ("<Task", $.parent.index + 1, ">"). This seemed to work with the auto numbering but then I couldn't actually edit the boxes. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated...thank you.

Did you make the field as ReadOnly or Protected?
Also make sure where did you place your code? If it is in the Calculate event, the default is "Calculated - ReadOnly".
Placing the code in Initialize event might help.
Thanks

Auto numbering is happening even when F11 is pressed

Hi ,
We are developing a customer form wherein we have 2 data blocks . These two data blocks share the master-detail relationship. The detail block is a multi record block.
We are auto numbering an item <line_number> in the detail block following the steps mentioned in the metalink [ID 33342.1]
https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=130989808463426&recommended=true&type=DOCUMENT&id=33342.1&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=ud1uneota_69
The steps mentioned in the link are generating numbers automatically when a new record is created and resequences the line numbers when a record is deleted. It works fine in these two scenarios.
But we have two issues here :
1) The line numbers are getting generated even when we press F11 in th detail block. This should not happen in our form. (We need to suppress the auto numbering in F11 mode)
2) If we move the cursor to a new record in the detail block, the line number gets generated there but if we move back to the previous record without entering anything in the new record, that new record does not disappear. It stays there .
Please let us know how can the above two issues be resolved
TIA
-SR

Hi.
From what I saw on metalink note this is expected behavior. So the first problem is simply to solve, Just call :SYSTEM.MODE function and if it's result is ENTER-QUERY then do nothing (do not call resequence routine). As for the second problem there is a simple solution if your business logic can accept it. You could make one item in child block required. This way a user could not walk away from that record without deleting it first. If this solution is not applicable to you then you will have to manually program logic for this situation.
Best regards.

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,
Carolin

Auto calculation row, work around for mixed calc methods?

I have a problem with an auto calculation row. One of the columns in the report is a percentage so I want the total row to calculate using a column formula, instead of the Auto Calculation Row calculation method setting.
We're using the auto calculation row as a way to churn through many Entity members, displaying financial totals for 4 Account category groupings for each Entity member.
For each Entity, those 4 rows display the data they're supposed to, and the auto calc row generates the 'Total', which is the calculation method it is set to do. With 2 columns in play, it works like this:
A1 through A4 display data, and are summarised in [A][Total Row]
B1 through B4 display data, and are summarized in [B][Total Row]
An updated requirement for a % column came up, and now we're trying to get that to display properly in column [C].
[C] is created as a formula column
The formula is set to [B]/[A], and formatted to display 0.01 precision
We expect each row to use this formula, and for rows 1 through 4 it does.
However, for [Total Row], it does not calculate [B]/[A]... instead it calculates [C][1]+[C][2]+[C][3]+[C][4]
This makes sense in terms of what the 'auto calculation row' is designed to do, or as to how it is explained in FR documentation.
The calculation method is set to 'Total', so it just adds up all of the data.
But we're looking for a combination of settings or a work-around that permits the Auto Calculation row feature to be used with mixed calculations as I've described.
We're on FR 11.1.2.362
Thanks

Hi osgood, thanks for getting back, thanks for that suggestion, I think that's a nice way of going about it. The form is working great with the calculation but I still can't get it to work on the reply email back to the site.
This is what I've used in the PHP form;
$freight = $_POST['PROD_freight_1'];
$totalcost = ($chardonnay_2011_bottles * 20 + $chardonnay_2011_cases * 204) + ($pino_gris_2011_bottles * 21 + $pino_gris_2011_cases * 228) + ($sauvigon_blanc_2011_bottles * 20 + $sauvigon_blanc_2011_cases * 204) + ($riesling_2012_bottles * 20 + $riesling_2012_cases * 204) + ($pinot_noir_2009_bottles * 25 + $pinot_noir_2009_cases * 250) + ($PROD_freight_1);
This the code for the reply back to the site;
\n selection \n $PROD_freight_1
Cheers
The variable should be:
+ ($freight);
and
\n selection \n $freight
Does that work?

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 Query

Hi,
I have to create the insides for a diary and I was wondering if there is a way to count the days automatically. I have used this feature for the actual date numbers (e.g. 23 March) in the month but I am having difficulty in finding a way to get the auto numbering to count down aswell as up. For example the format will 001-364 and count up/down progressively through the diary 002-363, 003-362. I assume that if this is posible it would just be a different symbol in the formula of the number field in the numbering and bullets dialog.
Hope this is clear enough
Thanks
cwrighty

Hi,
Thanks for your help, I've just tried running the javascript file that you posted, I was wondering what the best way of using this script would be. When I ran this script it gave the information as I needed but is there a way of running this through. Would it be best to create the text frames through the pages of the diary one line high and then use text threads so it would flow through?
Sorry but I've never used javascript before so this is new to me. Would I need to have a series of different scripts to get the relevant information for each field? I only ask because the diary I am working on is laid out differently so its seperate fields of information. Hope this clear,
Thanks & Kind Regards

Auto numbering in TOC tags

I am creating books that use auto numbering in the headings.
For example:
1.0 Introduction
2.0 First chapter
2.1 First topic
2.2 Second topic
2.2.1 Sub topic 1
When I generate the TOC, the numbers do not appear. I do not see any information in the User's Guide.
I am using Framemaker 7.2.
Any suggestions?

Go to the Reference Page(s) in the TOC file and scroll down until you find the collection of variables that generate the TOC contents. It'll look something like:
openObjectId <$relfilename>:<$ObjectType> <$ObjectId>
<$paratext> <$pagenum>
<$paratext> <$pagenum>
<$paratext> <$pagenum>
Each one of the lines is the format for a tag that should be included.
Scroll up and down to identify the tags that you want have display numbering.
Type in the para numbering variable, like this:
<$paranum> <$paratext> <$pagenum>
Save the file and update the book....

Fill in Blank Auto Numbering

I'm creating fill in the blank questions for an online math
course and I want to remove the auto numbering (1, 2, etc.) because
it is confusing. Is this possible or is it possible to edit the
auto numbering so the number has a period after it and looks more
like a question number??

future version. You may do this by
clicking

In the mean time, you can "fudge" a period by simply
inserting a transparent text caption that consists of only a period
as the text. You then position it so the period appears to follow
the number.

Create auto page alphabets inlieu of numberings on masterpages

Hello,
Is there a way to create auto page letters and not numbering in Indesign on master pages. I know under special characters > markers > next page number, automatically produced numbers but would like to use alphabets.
If anyone knows of a way to do this, please share.
Thanks!

No, not a section marker. There's a dropdown in the dialog marked "Style." That's where you set letters vs. numbers.

Vacancy auto numbering in IRecruitment

Hi,
In IRecruitment, if we need to have auto numbering of the vacancies so that when ever the first vacancy is created, it should automatically start with 999 and then continue furthur with 1000,1001,1002 etc on each and every vacancy creation.
Is this possible? Please update.
Jim

The numbering may be based on a sequence. If you can find the sequence, you may be able to control it's starting value.
