Creating forms in numbers

Using a Macbook Pro, how do I create a form in numbers for easy data entry?

Alas, Numbers on the Mac doesn't (yet) have forms. That's one feature that's "better" on the iPad. As in iOS you can, though, take advantage of special cell formats (Checkbox, Stepper, Slider, Pop-up Menu) to make data entry a little easier.

How do you create forms in numbers the same as in numbers for ios

I have a Macbook Running Maveriks 10.92 and Ipad running IOS7. I have numbers on both machines. On the Ipad there is a function that allows you to add a form to enter data from a sheet using Popups.
I can not find this function on the Macbook Pro.
All versions are the latest.

Numbers for iOS supports forms.
Numbers for OS X does not support forms (yet).
Make a request for this feature using the Provide Numbers Feedback item in the Numbers menu.

Creating data entry forms in numbers

How do I create a data entry form in Numbers for Macbook Air?

Hi Francie,
Ever since I switched to the Mac over a decade ago, I've been puzzled by why Apple gives the keyboard interrupt such low priority. When the computer gets busy, keystrokes start to lag. Sometimes, rarely, they are even lost.
The computer gets very busy with Flash websites. If you have several Safari Windows or Tabs running with Flash animation, the fans will start to rev up, a laptop will start to warm your legs (ok in the winter) and your keyboard will lag.
The computer also gets busy when you are editing a large Numbers iWork '09 document. Large for Numbers '09 is not really very big compared to many Excel documents that we are used to seeing in a business setting. This is because Numbers '09 constantly recalculates the document as you type. It doesn't wait for you to finish an entry, it just gets busy recalculating. They tried to address this recalculation problem in iWork '13 (Version 3).
In general, your spreadsheet work will go better if Numbers is the only app you have running. At least close windows, tabs and apps that you aren't using.
One lsat thing is your Free Memory. If you are short on RAM, Restarting your computer will free-up memory by releasing allocations for apps that you may have closed earlier. This is a pain, so it's best to install as much RAM as your computer will hold.

Forms - Formating numberic cells in LiveCycle

Creating forms in Adobe acrobat Pro I could format a number cell to show negative numbers in red text and show parentheses. How can I do that in LiveCycle?

The error(s) occur when trying to save the document. I want each user to tell the first page how many rows they will need in the photo log table, so they would enter however many photos were taken in the box: "Number of Photos on Roll:" ---> Then click the "Submit" cmd button. That should expand the table. Once it expands, it should also add the same amount of instances of the photo compilation page (2nd Page) as there are rows in 1st page table. Then the user will populate each cell of the table on page 1 with data. The data entered into the page 1 table cells will populate the text fields (photo caption) in Page 2 once the user clicks on the "Populate Captions!" cmd button in the lower left corner of the table on Page 1.
The problem is in the distributing of the form to the user so they can save the form after populating the data. I did a test run this morning and for some reason it did do the "print to PDF" correctly for 5 photos on the roll (though this has not been happening every time and especially for a large number of pages, ie. 80 photos). However, after entering the data for 5 rows on page 1 and then populating the 5 photo compilation pages, I saved a copy as "Save As PDF" and closed the document. Then re-opened the copy in Acrobat Pro X. The new copy:
-had 5 additional rows added to Page 1
-Duplicates of some of the fields
-Only retained the 1st instance of the Second Page (Photo w/ Caption) and not all fields were populated
Again, this all works fine in the LiveCycle Preview but not anywhere else. I do not have this set up to be linked to an external data source (YET) but there is javascript in the cmd buttons. I also do not want to distribute this form to end users and then collect the data back from them. I want them to be able to save a copy of my LiveCycle designed form, open in Adobe Pro, populate the data and save as many copies as needed for form production.

Forms in Numbers always on same record

I have an IOS Numbers file I use to track daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly activities. Each on a different tab/sheet. I have created forms for each of the 4 sheets. When entering data for say day 30, the forms for the weekly, monthly and quarterly activities automatically jumps to record 30. Is there anyway to have the forms independently scroll or is this a bug in the program?
Thanks

I am trying to create a form in numbers to simply enter data

Here you are in the forum dedicated to Numbers for OS X.
In this app there is no form structure.
Please ask in the forum dedicated to iWork for iOS.

Flash forms: Adding numbers from different text inputs

Hello,
I am trying to create a quote estimator on my website. I want to create forms in flash that can take inputs (numbers) from the user and then automatically calculate the values by mutliping certain forms and and then totaling them up.
The total value does not need to be saved. No database is required.
Any suggestions on how to do this?
I am assuming I need to use dynamic texts?
I am using Flash cs4.
Simon

Hello,
Thanks. That helps. I also found an example at:

Error while Creating form on remote Database

Hi All
I m getting error while creating form on remote database thru

I haven't seen the ora-03116 problem.
What version of Portal are you running? Are the databases at the same version? Does your table have longs or anything strange in it?
Can you query the table via the synonyms and link in sqlplus as the application schema? This is a good test because it eliminates Portal.
You should try setting up synonyms etc for the emp table. If you still get the problem then Oracle may be able to replicate it. If not, then there's sth funny about your table maybe.
I agree with Vishnu about creating everything in sqlplus. I create all my links and synonyms in sqlplus. They are all public. I have 2 synonyms: one takes you over the link the other takes you to the right schema. It's flexible and it works.
data database: D grants to P (local schema) on table T
public syn T = D.T (sys) (get the right schema)
portal dbase : public db link to data database connecting as P
public syn T = T@dblink (sys) (over the link)
P is a schema created in both databases.
Test is: P in portal dbase can "select * from T" and gets the right data.
I never, ever refer to a schema when defining a form. ie. never P.T or D.T or whatever. I always refer simply to a synonym. For the above my form would be defined simply on the table T.
Hope this helps

How to override the create method invoked by a create form?

Hello everyone, I'm using ADF Faces and have the next question:
How can I override the create method which is invoked by a create form to preset an attribute in the new row (the preset value is not fixed, I have to send it to the method as a parameter as it is obtained using an EL expression)?
In the ADF guide I read how to override a declarative method (Section 17.5.1 How to override a declarative method), but this explains how to do it with a method that is called by a button. I don't know how to do the same with a method which is called automatically when the page is loaded.
I also tried overriding the view object's createRow() method to receive a parameter with the preset values but it didn't work, I believe that was because the declarative create method is not the same as the view object's createRow. This caused the form to display another row from the viewobject and not the newly created one (I also set the new row into STATUS_INITIALIZED after setting the attribute).
Well, I hope my problem is clear enough for somebody to help me.
Thank you!

Hello,
I'm not sure you can do it with standard generated Create Form.
In your view object you'll need to create your own create method with parameters, publish it to client interface and invoke instead of standard generated create action in page definition.

How can I create a new Numbers Document through AppleScript?

How can I create a new Numbers Document through AppleScript?
I try this:
tell application "Numbers"
make new document with properties {template name:"blank"}
end tell
But don't work.
Where can I find documentation about it?
Thanks

If you try to invent your own syntax, you are starting on very wrong basis.
The required syntax is defined by the Numbers AppleScript's dictionary.
This one doesn't know what is a template.
This is why, in the link posted by badunit, I use an other scheme to create a new document.
I know that it's awful but it's the only one available at this time.

Is there a way to create forms where certain fields would become required only if there was a certain choice made in a dropdown box in another field?

Is there a way to create forms where certain fields would become required only if there was a certain choice made in a dropdown box in another field?

Yes but you will have to create some custom JavaScript to do this.
Also you should be aware that the "Required" property is only processed when the form is submitted to a scripted web page or "mailto:" process.

Select the fields with the mouse, right-click one of them, go to Properties
and set the settings you'd like them all to have.

Is there a way to edit, or link to other tables Forms on Numbers?

I was trying to edit a Form in Numbers, and also try to use multiple tables for a Form, and on that same topic, how can I link a cell from a table on a different tab to another table, i also tryed to format a cell as popup menu, and than poin the options on that menu to a cell on a table so it would update it self every time a new cell would be add.. is there any one with ideas how to?

What you are asking about is possible. I don't have an iOS device with Numbers. Referencing others cells (linking) is found in the Numbers Users Guide:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Numbers09_UserGuide.pdf page 127
you can get more focused help on this question in the forum dedicated to Numbers on iOS: https://discussions.apple.com/community/app_store/iwork_for_ios
