Creating columns in InDesign

Hi,
Hope you're well.
I've created an In Design document with two columns. However, do I have to draw separate text boxes in each column to get the columns to work?
I would think there is a way to go from one to another automatically?
Thanks!

You don't "have" to, but that is one way to do it. You could draw one big text box and 'split' it into 2 or more columns. This would then allow you to span columns without drawing additional boxes and to also use the column break to move content from one to the next. Neither way is wrong, just depends how you work and what is easier for your layout.
If you drew different text boxes, one for each column, you would simply link them together to get the text to flow from one to the next.

How to create columns in Pages 5.2.2

Please help me create columns in Pages

Hi Picas -
Thanks for that tip - I was having similar problem. In my mind and thinking, I should be able to make the column split first, then add the text I want in each one. Is there away to do this without creating a table? I am trying to keep track of information (similar to cause and effect), and as you think of one thing for column A, I have a reply for column B. It is not a critical issue by any means; it would help my workflow, though, tremendously.
Thanks!

In a document library Show time in seconds also for a created column

HI
i created a sitecollection with DocumentCenter Template and created documentlibrary,
after i upload documents i want to see created column should display seconds with created time
how it is possible to show seconds also with time.
adil

Create a Calculated column and display it instead of the Created column.
If it's for display purposes, then the easiest way is to convert the date into any format / pattern you like:
=TEXT(Created,"MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm:ss AM/PM")
If you want the column to be sortable by the user, list the year first and leave off the "AM/PM" and display using 24 hours:
=TEXT(Created,"YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm:ss")
You could also display the "Created with seconds" column and sort the view on the original Created column.

I have been creating forms in InDesign and pulling into Acrobat XI Pro to do form fields. My client would like to fill in the PDF form using Reader, save under a different name locally on their device, and redistribute. The problem I have is that, sometimes, they want to redistribute the form as Read Only. I know how to flatten the form on a mobile device, but uncertain how they can do that with a PC or Mac using Adobe Reader. I looked at FormsCentral thinking there might be a solution going that route, but don't believe there is. Any advice?

FormsCentral won't help with flattening a form. You could set up the form in Acrobat so that the fields are set to read-only, using JavaScript. Not quite the same as flattening but it's the best Reader can do.
Note that when Reader is used to e-sign a document, it gets flattened, but this won't be possible if you need to Reader-enable the form and under certain other conditions.

Created column not showing in the Document Library View for a Custom Content Type based on Document

We have a custom content type based of Document Content Type. The OOTB "Created" column does not show up in the view as well as in the Site Settings -> Columns.
But it shows up in the Display Form and Edit Form of the Item at the bottom "Created at " by " " and "Modified by" at by ""
Would anyone know how to make this column appear as part of the view ?
thanks,
Harsh

Hi,
They should by default be possible to add to a view. The only reason they would disappear from the UI if someone has changed the attribute of the Field to hidden = true. You can verify that with PowerShell and if so you can use PowerShell to revert the setting
to false.
$w = Get-SPWeb http://dev13$f = $w.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName("Created")$f.Hidden$f.Hidden = $false$f.Update()

Creating charts in Indesign vs. Illustrator

I'm asking more for opinions in this post. I have just upgraded from CS2 to CS3 today. I have a large yearly publication that has roughly 40 pie and bar charts in it. For the past three years I have created the charts in Illustrator and "edited" them from the previous year, rather than fully recreating it because the sizes remain basically the same, saves time, etc. I just change the colors and data and import the eps files into indesign.
I am seeing that there is some sort of script for creating charts in Indesign (note that I am not knowledgeable on Scripts). Do you believe it to be better to create the charts in Illustrator and import them into Indesign or to create them directly in Indesign? I wouldn't want to get halfway into this huge project and realize the script could take twice as long OR not know that I could save tons of time by using the script.
Any opinions are appreciated!
Thanks! :)

Thanks!!
Questions:
1. Are AI files transparent? I often have background photos on the page to lighten up the heavy data in the report so I don't want a white box around the chart.
2. There won't be any problems importing an AI vs. EPS? I always assumed you couldn't import an AI file...that it needed to be converted. Not sure if that's my assumption or if I heard that somewhere along the line.

Can't select "include book documents" when creating index in InDesign CC

I'm trying to make an index for several dokuments in a book. I've made the index but when I try to generate the index the checkbox is greyed out so I can't check it. Do You know what's wrong?

Thank You. That worked well.
One more question: It looks as if the index does not include the words of all the documents in the book. Is it something I do wrong?
Thanks

Change 'Created' column/field value

I have a business requirement of changing the date of 'created' column/field of selected
document/s in a document library(it has to be changed to current system date). This has to be done by adding a custom button to the ribbon and providing authorization to the button. Please let me know if this is possible?

Hi,
Please refer to the following article.
http://www.learningsharepoint.com/2011/06/13/using-javascript-js-file-in-commandaction-of-custom-ribbon-button-sharepoint-2010/
In the above article, command action is JavaScript function. For example.
<CommandUIHandler
Command=”AboutButtonCommand”
CommandAction=”javascript:ChangeDate();“/>
Create a script file and refer to your command action.
//Referencing the Script
<CustomAction
Id=”AboutFilesButton.Script”
Location=”ScriptLink”
ScriptSrc =”/_layouts/RibbonScripts/ChangeDate.js”/>
You can add the following function to the "ChangeDate.js" file.
function ChangeDate()
var ctx = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var list = ctx.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle("CM");
var items = SP.ListOperation.Selection.getSelectedItems(ctx);
var item = list.getItemById(items[0].id);
item.set_item("Created", "2/13/2015"); //change the date
item.update();
ctx.executeQueryAsync(
function () {alert("Created date changed") },
function () {alert ("Error")}
Hope this works for you.
Please don't forget to mark it as answered, if your problem resolved or helpful.

"create columns with a where clause" in BMM

Hi All,
I have a question about OBI EE Meta data layer.
We have OBIEE sitting on a Data Warehouse with a star schema.
Our Fact table holds the following fields...
EmployeeID
CompanyID
Measure ID
Measure Name
MEASURE
This is what we have in the physical layer, BMM layer and the presentation layer but I want to be able to "create columns with a where clause"
So my fact table in the presentation layer would look like this
Amount Sold
Unit Cost
Company Amount
I thought I could just create a logical column with
Amount Sold = Measure
where Measure Name = "Amount Sold"
But I can't seem to find any to do that.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Or you simply map your measure in the Logical Table source as something like :
CASE WHEN MEASURE_NAME = 'Amount Sold' THEN MEASURE ELSE 0 END.
You need to decide if you want the where clause adding in the Logical table source (be careful you will need a seperate LTS for each measure, this will mean more than one SQL being fired when you have more than one measure in the report).
Or you go with this case method on each measure, be able to have all the measures mapped in 1 LTS, include all those in the report and they will be retrieved by one SQL block.

Thanks - SelvaKumarSubramaniam.Please MARK AS ANSWER, if my answer is useful to U.

see
http://www.sqlteam.com/article/custom-auto-generated-sequences-with-sql-server
You can make it computed column based on UDF
make UDF as below
CREATE FUNCTION GenerateStudID
@StdStudy varchar(15)
RETURNS int
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @StudID int
SELECT @StudID = @StdStudy * 10000 + COALESCE((SELECT MAX(StudentID) FROM StudentDetails WHERE StandardStudy =@StdStudy),0) + 1
RETURN (@StudID)
END
then create column as
ALTER TABLE StudentDetails ADD StudentID AS dbo.GenerateStudID(StandardStudy)

(InDesign CS5) I have created hundreds of InDesign documents incorporating images stored on an external USB connected drive. I did a manual back-up to another drive at regular intervals but far from ideal.
I now have a network drive which is properly backed-up. I have copied all of the images and folder structure from the USB connected drive to this new drive.
My question is how I get all of the links in my indd files to point to the new drive. I am aware how to do it one file at a time, but is there a way of doing the same thing over many files/folders at a time?

It depends on how you organize your work. If you have one folder for images for a document, relinking one image should alert you that other missing images are in the same folder, but this assumes that images are missing. If the links window sees a clear path to the original location of the images, they aren't missing, so that won't work.
Another thing to try is to select all of the images in the links window and go to the fly-out menu and select Relink To Folder (navigate to the new folder, and you don't even have to select any images by name).
If you store your images in many different folders for the same document, you might want to either package the document to copy all of the images into one folder (you can specify to only copy images if you like) or use the fly-out in the links window (Utilities>Copy Links To…) and select or create a new images folder.
