Custom Printing of data forms

We need custom printing for Hyperion planning forms. We are using Oracle® Hyperion Planning, Fusion Edition - 11.1.2.2..
Can anyone guide?

Hi,
this is what I woudl condider
- the easiest way would be to use Oracle Reports.
- write a Java Bean that performs printing
- use webutil, write to a temporary file and call host on the client to print

Custom Columns in Data Form

Hi All,
Is it possible to group few columns in a data form and give it a name ? Say I have many columns in a data form , I want to group randomly few columns and call it as a "Main group" , and for few columns I want to group and called it as "Sub group" . How can we acheive this ? Please help

There's no such functionality within forms themselves. However, you could create an alternate hierarchy called "Main Group" and "Sub Group" in your dimensions, and then use that alternate hierarchy to drive your forms. Then make sure "Start Expanded" is not checked in the column dimension Display Properties (assuming you want the form to open with the group collapsed).
Hope this helps,

Selection of ICP and custom dimension in data forms

We are investigating the possibility of changing our divisional reporting – and we are looking into different possible solutions. Maybe you can help us?
We eliminate on both ICP and divisions (custom1= division, custom2= divisional counterpart).
We have 150 ICP entities and (in the future maybe) 100+ divisional counterparts (custom2). However, one entity only has 10-15 divisions (and not 100+).
Do you know of a smart way to choose ICP entity and custom2 in a data form – so the reporting will be easy for the reporting companies?
Ideally I would like to be able first to select ICP entity (add member function) and then at the same time select a custom2 (divisional counterpart) – but only choose between those custom2/divisions that the company has. I do not think you can add member functions for both ICP and Custom2 at the same time in a data form?
Do you have any suggestions?

We thought about that solution but it would not follow good metadata structure (more like Hyperion Enterprise). We are hoping for a clever solution to make the webforms work.

Adobe form is printing wrong data for the first print attempt

Hi All,
I need a quick help from Adobe print form gurus. Until now i dint get an issue on printing adobe interactive form from my portal. For eg., when i am giving a print for the first attempt, it was printing the form with wrong data in form fields and whereas when i tried to print it for the second time, then it is printing properly with right information.
Please help.
Regards,
Praveen Kambala.

Hi Praveen,
Find out the data what is being printed for the first time, and check what is the flag that is making the change. Hope that should resolve your issue.
Thanks,

Customer Printing Forms

Hello -
I am using the registration form for customers to register in a warranty program. I would like them to be able to print out the form for their own records and for sending in with a warranty claim. How do I make this happen? I don't see any options for that currently.
Thank you!
L&G

You will need to create a PDF Form workflow as opposed to a Web Form workflow. PDF forms can filled out, saved and printed from Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat. If you have Acrobat then you can manually add a print button to you form. You might want to have a look at this : http://forums.adobe.com/message/5508597
Do you still want them to submit the data electronically or do you just care about the print paper form mail back to you?

Printing Response Data in the Form Layout?

I'd like to be able to select a response and print the data in the format of the form (so it looks the way it did when they entered it.) How can I do that?

Unfortunately you can't print a selected response and retain the format of the form. You can print out a response in more of a "record view". Try this - go to View menu -> Details View. A panel will open, at the bottom of the panel you can see buttons for save the detail view as PDF or print it.
This type of functionality is something we plan to provide in the coming months.
Hope this helps
Thanks,
Randy

Customizing Data Forms

I need help with customizing the data forms.
We have users entering percentage values in the form. the total percentage amount in a column should not exceed 100 percent. If it is more than that it should show an error message.
How can I achieve this.
TIA.
Rahul

I want the code to verify if the user is entering percentages more than or equal to 100. But this particular code is considering the sum of percentages in all rows + columns. But I want the code to verify for all the rows in first column, all rows in second column.
Can anyone help me change the logic in the below code.
function validateForm()
var valid = true;
if (equalsIgnoreCase(formName,"1") || equalsIgnoreCase(formName,"2")) {
valid = validateVariance();
return valid;
function validateVariance() {
var validated = true;
var cellValid = 0;
for (r=1; r<numRows; r++) {
for (c=1; c<numCols; c++) {
var cell = getCellVal(r,c);
if (isFinite(parseFloat(cell))) {
cellValid = limitPrecision(cellValid + getCellVal(r,c),3);
if (cellValid >= 1) {
validated = false;
cellValid = limitPrecision(cellValid * 100,2);
alert("The percentages you have entered exceed more than 100% \n Your Total Percentage is: " + cellValid + " %");
return(validated);
function limitPrecision(value, limit) {
if ((value == null) || (value.length == 0) || (value == missing)) {
return(value);
} else {
return((Math.round(value * Math.pow(10,limit)))/Math.pow(10,limit));
TIA

Customizing Data Form Layout

Hi,
i want add my company's logo image to the data form in my Planning app.(ver 9.3.1)
Following the documentation i modified the file ValidateData.js in that way:
function drawCustomButtons() {
document.writeln('<img src="ui_themes/tadpole/images_global/logoCompany.gif" ALIGN="MIDDLE">');
Problem is that i can't control the layout of the data form, infact the logo appear in a random position before the data grid...
It seems like the HTML IMG tag doesen't work properly.
How can i overcome to the problem?
Thanks in advance
Stefano

I'm not sure if using a button for your company's logo is the best option, unless you're going to use the button for some additional functionality (launching help, etc). I'm assuming you've found the SampleValidateData.js, right? It looks like it has some information on cellspacing, cellpadding, etc.
Alternatively, have you considered just replacing one of the images that get displayed in the header? (ex. \ui_themes\tadpole_hc\images_global\logo.gif) This is the Oracle/Hyperion logo in the upper-right of Planning, but it isn't limited to web input forms.
Hope this helps,

Contents of a custom print program for a custom smartform

Hi...
Can you please tell me if we are writing a custom print program from scratch for a custom smartform for which there is no standard form available what are all the things that need to be coded in the print program..
My doubts on this are if we are configuring this form for output types of PO purchase order for mediums 1,2, 5 and 6 does any extra coding need to be done in the print program that is related to these mediums or is it just a configuration issue..
Apart from data retrieval part and call the function modules to send the data to smartforms what are the other things that we need to code in a custom smartform.. Anything that we need to code related to printing issues..
It would be great if someone can post a custom print program for any output type valid for mediums 1, 2, 5 and 6.
Also my last doubt is do we need to do anything in SE11 in designing a smartform and in what context do we need it...
Thanks and appreciate your help... Surely will reward for all the helpful answers..
Thanks again..
Kanthi..

Hi,
yes you need to create your own print program. You need to catch printing information and to send data to your smartforms.
To send data to your smartforms you need to use structure describe in the data dictionnary.
This is a peace of code for sending information to a smartform that will be print used an external program (Esker)

Hyperion Planning - Link a web analysis report in a data form

Hi all,
is actually possible to link a web analysis report in a planning data form? I tried from a custom menu but discovered that isn't possible. Any other way?
I'm working with Planning 11.1.2.1
Thanks

Hi Raffounz
Indeed, it is possible to link a web analysis report in a planning custom menu.
Follow this procedure :
- From the explorer :
-> Go to the folder where your web analysis report is stored
-> Right click on the document and left click on "properties"
-> Copy the "smartCut" link
- From your planning application :
-> Edit the menu where you want to link your webanalysis report :
-> Create a URL item and past the link in the input field
Cheers

Issue on the Data Form - Implied Sharing

Hello,
We have a data form on which the user can drill down till Level 0 Customer in rows to input data. The issue is for some customers when the user is trying to input the data at Level 0 Customer it is not saving the input number but was getting overridden with the parent value automatically. If the user was inputting at parent customer it was filling the same value to the level 0 customer too.
When I checked in the outline...I noticed that these were the Customers that had only a single child and I am guessing that this is happening because of the implied share property. I am not sure if there could be any other reason for this to happen. If I am wrong please do correct me.
Now I know if you change the property of the parent customer to Never Share it might resolve the issue.But the problem here is - there are a lot of such customers. And every month we do get new customers that could belong to the same case. It would be tough to manually go and change the property to Never Share for all those Customers and keep a track of it. It might be a maintenance issue.
So are there any other solutions? Can we somehow resolve it? Please let me know your suggestions or ideas on what you think would be the best way to get this fixed.
Any ideas are appreciated.
Thank you !
~ Adella

Thanks a lot Robb for your suggestions.
Yes you are right since both the parent and the children are set to store in our outline more blocks are being created.
Taking the parent off the data form might not be the best solution as there are many such customers and in that case they might have to keep a track to not include such parents on the dataform specially while designing it..and also then its like some of the customers will show parent and children both and some only children in rows. I think they wouldnt like it and it might hurt consistency. But yes I will surely check on the option of turning on the Implied Sharing in the Essbase.cfg
Thanks once again !
