Custom fields and line length in Address Book

Hi everyone. Does anyone know how to alter the permitted line length of a label in Address Book? If I create a custom label the label will be truncated if it is too long. This does not seem necessary as there can be loads of blank space to the right of the card window. In other words the label will not resize dynamically to accommodate a long custom label. I have a feeling that you may be able to edit a .plist file in the Package to adjust the default number of characters the label can have, but I'm a bit nervous about poking about when I'm not too knowledgeable. Any ideas?

In other words the label will not resize dynamically to accommodate a long custom label.
Of course not. You've chosen a specific label style/size, so if it were to resize dynamically, that would cause text to print where there is no label stock.
You cannot edit any file to change the number of characters per label; at best, you could creae your own label size and define the margins, but that's it.

Migrating custom fields from Palm Desktop to Address Book

I have a 6200 contact database with 10 custom fields that I want to migrate from palm desktop to address book. I was hoping it was a simple matter of exporting the palm desktop database as a vCard, double clicking on the vCard icon on the desktop, and clicking yes to the question "do you want to import...to Address Book." But that imports the database without creating the custom fields, and instead puts all the info stored in the custom fields in the comment section for each database entry. Is there an automator action or a Apple Script (or any other way) of automatically creating these custom fields in Address Book?

I have been able to translate most of the fields from Palm Desktop over to Address Book, but the 1 field left is "Division." Address Book allows for "Company" and "Department," but not the "Division" field that is one of the default fields in Palm Desktop.
Address Book doesn't seem to be able to add a custom field to the top section of the Addess Book Templet. Is there a way of creating a custom field for "Division" that would appear at the top of the templet, just under the "Company" field?
Thanks.

How can I import multiple email addresses in cc field of MAIL email into Address Book or Contacts?

Hello...Mail and Address Book used to have a great feature where when you received an email (in Mac MAIL program), if there were multiple emails I'm the "to" or "cc" fields, you could select them all as a batch and drag them into Address Book and it would add them all to Address Book. Now it doesn't seem to let you do it as a batch...you have to click each email address and select "add to address book".
Does anyone know of a workaround, or an AppleScript, or third party app that would allow users to add email addresses to AB in a batch from a MAIL email?
Thanks!

Try this.. Click the first in the CC field hold Shift, Click the Second Third, Fouth, Fifth and so on... click right Mouse select add to Contacts.

Query : Custom field at line item level in SRM 7.0 .

I was going through a document which instructs on how to add a custom field at line item level in SRM 7.0.
I found this code :
CALL FUNCTION 'BBP_PD_SC_GETDETAIL'
EXPORTING
I_GUID = IV_DOC_GUID
I_WITH_ITEMDATA = 'X'
TABLES
E_ITEM = LT_ITEM
E_MESSAGES = LT_MESSAGES

LOOP AT LT_STATUS INTO WA_STATUS.
IF WA_STATUS-STAT EQ 'I1015' AND WA_STATUS-INACT IS INITIAL.
LV_STATUS_APPROVE = 'X'.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
I wanted to know what is 'I1015' and what is its significance .
please advise .

HI
This speaks about the status of the Cart. This means that the Status of the Cart is AWAITING APPROVAL...I dont know which document you have gone through but procedure for adding a Custom Field in SRM 7.0 is:
1. Create a Custom field in the Database in SRM. Preferrably add the field in an include and extend thta include to the table in SE11.
2. Go to Portal Login of SRM and right click the part of the screen where you want to add the custom field. Click on More Field Help. The popup will give you the name of WebDynpro Applicaiton which controls that area.
3. Login to SRM via GUI and display the webdynpro application using SE80. Enhance the Webdynpro application.
4. Add the custom field to the Context of the WebDynpro Application View. You will be selecting the field from the database table while adding the custom field to the context
5. Add the field at the specified place in Layout Tab of the WebDynpro View,
6. Create a binding between the Layout Field and the Context
7. Activate the changes.... you will see the field in Portal login of SRM....
For more details , refer to the Webdynpro help of the application...

CUP - custom field and match code

Hi,
is it possible to have a custom field in CUP with a match code to help searching ?
the only two way that i found are dropdown lists for a table from a backend system and free field ( varchar, date, numeric)
thanks
Regards
Aurelien

Hi Aurelien,
You can create custom fields in CUP for the following types.
1 Text type
2 Numeric type
3 Date type
4 Drop down
a) drop down data define in CUP
b) Drop down data coming from backend table.
If you want a request to be associated with a match code that helps you seaching the request later.
Than create an text type custom field and use in a workflow.
While a creating the request define the value of custom field.
Now you can serch request on the basis of the value define in the custom field.
Kind Regards,

Did you create these notes in the iPad notes App ... I assume?
This support article will explain how you can restore from a backup - which is what you have to do in order to have any chance of recovering your note.
How to backup and restore from a backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
But you have to remember, that you will lose any of the notes that you have taken since the date of the last backup. If you synced your iPad last week, then you will lose a whole week of current notes - or whatever notes you have created since your last backup. When you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup onto the iPad - that was on the iPad on the time and date of the backup.
If you backup every day, then all of your notes should be recoverable from the backup - except for any notes that you took since you last backed up. There is no foolproof way to recover everything once you start taking more notes or creating new documents or whatever that you do in an app unless you are syncing those notes with iCloud and backing up all of the time or unless the app is set to sync with iCloud as you work on the files - like in Pages, Numbers or Keynote - Apple's iWorks apps.
If you decide to restore from an iTunes backup you should turn off at sync before you try restoring because iTunes will want to backup your iPad right away when you plug it in and you will lose your old or last backup.

Exchange 2010 and Outlook 2010 Offline Address Book Download

Hi All,
Strange problem that I can't seem to get to the bottom of.
On a couple of users, about 10/100, can't seem to download the Offline Address Book. When they do a manual Download Address Book through Send/Receive Group, the progress window will remain at about 5% and the status will show "Copying Offline Address Book
Template File". If I leave the window, it will be the same for a couple of hours without erroring out.
We have a casarray set up, forced the ports to 59595 and 59596 for the address book as mentioned the guide. We are not doing SSL redirect on the Virtual Directory. Test-AutoConfiguration from Outlook returns the correct entries. Works for most users but
not all.
On the users that do not work, I've tried deleting the users profile, deleting the Outlook Directory under AppData. Sometimes, magically (for a lack of a better word), if I check the Offline Address Book Directory a few days later, there are files there.
If I then do a manual Download, same thing, the progress bar will be stuck.
Puzzling as I'm not quite sure what else to check.
All clients are on Windows 7 and Outlook 2010.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave K

I also used your recipe --disconnect the wireless mouse-- and the OAB update worked right away.
     (It is not a Microsoft mouse.   )
Thanks for the information.
I have been trying to find information on non-HID.
If you have any quick tips or a pointer to info about this, I wanted to get a better understanding of this topic.
Does this "wireless" for the mouse use the same "wireless" for the laptop regular network access via WiFi ?
(We had some evidence that when the laptop did not use the wireless mouse the OAB worked OK and/or when the laptop was running only on WiFi the OAB worked OK.    Not sure if this is all the same root cause.)
Also, does anyone know if this is something that Microsoft will fix at some point ?
We are trying to determine if "few or many" people here might be having OAB failures and have not reported it.
Thanks again.

Dialing and Sending SMSs from Address Book

Just upgraded to a new iMac 24" from a G4 MD running OSX 10.4.8. I successfully used my Sony Z520 phone before to send SMSs, and dial via the address book, along with the normal sync and other functions.
On the new iMac, the SMS and dialing functions do not work, though it pairs and syncs with my address book fine.
My phone pairs easily, easier than on the old computer. I have tried to delete and re-pair with same results (no dialing, no SMS).
It does dial Skype and Jajah (another VOiP system). Works fine.
When I recieved a call before, I could see who was calling me, but now it just says "unknown" in the dialogue box.
Any ideas how to get this working again?

You can use the Sony Ericsson Address Book Enabler to add SMS and Calls support for over 40 of the latest Sony Ericsson phones:

Fields and Table for Delivery address in a PO

Hi Gurus,
I want to find out the fields and the corresponding table for the delivery address in a PO (line item details). It is the address of the plant. I searched the tables ADRNR, ADRN2 and one customized field (/GLB/Ship_to) in the table EKPO, but of no help. I can find out from other tables the address of the plant, but I want to go to a table for PO, where I can have the delivery address/ship to address.
Please help.
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi
For Plant Address, check the table T001W
If you want complete address details, take the ADRNR field value from T001W and pass it to the field ADDRNUMBER of table ADRC, you will get the details.
Normally addresses are stored in the table ADRC. If you gave any other Delivery Address in the PO, instead of Plant, get the value of ADRN2 from EKPO and pass it to ADDRNUMBER of ADRC and you will get the address detials.

Multiple address books and/or Editing multiple address book entries

Two questions from a neophyte to Address Book:
1) Is there any way to make a "bulk change" to multiple entries in an address book (e.g. Add the text "Bob's friend" to the notes section of all the contacts in a selected group, or add the note "family" to a selected set of contacts?
Perhaps there is a way to use Automator for this? or AppleScript?
2) Is there a way to create multiple address books (short of creating multiple user accounts and logging in and out) to separate, for example business contacts from personal ones? Or perhaps is there a way to add a field to a template that allows one to categorize a contact as personal, business, school, retail, Sharon's friend, etc?
Please lend me your ideas!

Welcome to the discussions, Rangely.
1) Yes, certainly, Applescript is ideal for this. See below for a simple sample. You can see which features of AB are accessible by using Script Editor to open AB's dictionary.
2) Well, you could, but AB assumes its database is in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook, so you could have several parallel AB folders and swap them around as needed - but you can't do it from inside AB. It is much simpler to use the feature that suits the job - groups of contacts. As well as simplicity this has the advantage that details of someone who is business, school and Sharon's friend need only be stored once, as a contact can be in multiple groups.

Problems with pages and mail merging from Address Book

hey guys. I have just created an invitation using one of the templates in Pages. this template is for four postcard size invites on one sheet of A4. i want to merge addresses from my address book. i can do the merge except that rather than four different contacts on each page i end up with four of the same on each page before it moves on the next contact on the next page. what i want to do is for it to merge one address per postcard. in Word i would put 'next' as the last field in the merge fields but i cant find a similar command in Pages. please can some advice?

I don't use Address Book for mail merging, but I tested this on a four page document and it worked for that so maybe it will work for your postcards. First, do your merge with full size pages and one address per page. Then in the print menu select Layout (drop down from Copies and Pages) and set it for 4 per Page (any direction you wish). That should print four different addresses on one sheet.

Project server 2010 What are the number of Custom fields and views allowed?

How many customizations are permitted in Project Server 2010?
Thanks in advance

Hi
new findings on that issue...
There is an article for Project Online that speaks about limits for reporting: https://support.office.com/en-US/Article/Project-Online-software-boundaries-and-limits-5a09dbce-1e68-4a7b-b099-d5f1b21ba489?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
Apart from that you will have an issue if you like to upgrade to Project Server 2013. When trying to convert the 2010 databases to a 2013 database a SQL stored procedure will fail if you have more custom fields than fit into the UserViews.
Error message will be something like this:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): INIT METADATA ERROR! At least one mismatch found between SQL schema for view MSP_EpmProject_UserView and reporting metadata. Call to MSP_Epm_CheckIntrinsicAttributes failed for Projects INIT

Workaround for the issue (UNSUPPORTED !!!!!!)
Execute the Convertto-SPProjectDatabase script. Now you need to be fast or well prepared. You need to find the MSP_Epm_CheckIntrinsicAttributes stored procedure. Execute an ALTER statement for it and change the last lines of code to something like this:
LblError:
   PRINT @ErrorMessage
--changed RETURN code if an error occurs to be able to proceed with migration
--RETURN 1
   RETURN 0
END
I hope that helps someone out there - when I came across the issue last night, a google query returned nothing for INIT METADATA ERROR....

Timezone and Birthday bug in Address Book

Hello,
I just found a bug related to the Address Book, birthday fields, and timezones in 10.4.6. I had many contacts with filled birthdays. I had my system timezone set to Brazil (GMT-3), but now I moved to Japan, and set the timezone to Japan (GMT+9). When I opened Address Book after that, all birthday fields are showing one day late (for instance, if the birthday was on 1978/02/24, it will now show as 1978/02/25). Consequently, the birthdays in iCal are also showing late.
I guess this is an internal representation bug, in that the birthdays are stored with the timezone, and when I changed the system timezone the correct date started being recalculated. But as a "timeless" event, birthdays should only display at the set date, without any conversion.
PowerBook G4 12 Rev. A/iPod with Video 30GB Mac OS X (10.4.3)

You seem to be right. Here is what I noticed with further experimentation.
The time difference between Brazil and Japan is 12 hours, that is, in any given day, when it reaches noon (12:00) in Japan, the day is just starting (00:00) in Brazil, and when it reaches noon (12:00) in Brazil, that same day is ending in Japan (23:59). So, during the period 12:00-23:59 in Japan (and 00:00-11:59 in Brazil), both places are under the same day.
Here is the interesting bit: birthday events added in Brazil during this period (before noon) show with the correct date, when I set the timezone do Japan. Birthday events added in Japan in the afternoon also show the correct date when I set the timezone back to Brazil's. So Address Book is using the field edit date, somehow.
For now, I have manually reedited all the birthday fields during this "same day" period, and birthdays are showing correctly no matter if I am in Brazil or Japan, but that is definitely a hack.
