Customize autocomplete filter of DropDown

Hi there,
I'm currently working on a more complex autocomplete solution for a dropdown list.
It's described in several sources that by enabling the "custom text entry" of the dropdown list, open it up on enter and do some filtering on exit, you have a simple autocompletion. This filters the items in the list such that only the items starting like the typed text are shown.
In my case, I have an adressbook in the background and want the autocompletion to search in multiple fields. For example, having "John Doe" in the dropdown list, I want to match the filter not only on "Joh" (first letters of the display value) but also on "Doe" (first letters of the last name).
For that I created a change event script that takes the typed string and fill the dropdown with the matching items. So far it's working fine.
But sadly after my filter the build in filter seems to hook in and hides all items that are not starting with the custom text.
Is there a way to disable this behaviour?
I have tried several other solutions like put a text field in the foreground of the dropdown box and use this for text entry, but it moves to the background as soon as I focus on the dropdown, or using a text field and a floating list that is shown when needed but no scrollbars are shown unless you focus the list and then you can't type anymore, and so on.
I would be glad if you can help me or tell me an idea that could work!
Regards,
Philipp

Hello Philipp,
I am also trying to work thru the same thing. Possibly we can get there together ...
I am familiar with the "custom text entry" method, but that alone doesn' suffice.
I am trying to tackle it without creating any extra text fields, etc, ... just use the drop-down list field itself.
Right now I am reading in detail http://forums.adobe.com/message/2372156#2372156
Seems like this is trying to tackle the same functionality you are looking for.
I'll keep you posted if I find anything.

Customize the Filter HUD

Is is possible to customize the Filter HUD?
I don't use the Flagged or *Color Label* options often, but would like Calendar to be part of the filter every time.
Can I remove the ones I don't use and add calendar? If so how would I do that?
TIA
Jerry

In the filter hud there is a white minus sign far right of the filter you want to remove , click that, if
you want it back click add rule (top right)
Ray,
Thanks for the response. I am aware of the controls you mentioned and, of course, I have had to use them.
I'm just a little put out that for this kind of filter I have no better control of the filter items than this. As I said earlier I almost never flag or color images and almost ALWAYS use the calendar so it becomes a huge PIA to delete and add these filters every time I want to look for and/or work on specifically dated images.
I think I ought to be able to designate the default filter items.
Thanks again for your interest and assistance.
Jerry
I am very new to Ap3 so ignore me if it is't what you are looking for

Edited by: 836776 on Sep 6, 2012 3:59 AMAre you serious? The user cannot handle "Name is equal to xxxx"?? It never ceases to amaze me how much users can find something to complain about. But as an analyst, it is important to manage expectations. Remember that whatever you customize, you must document and maintain so anyone else can support your design. To me, this is a perfect example of telling the user "sorry, this can't be done," rather than try to add anything suggested earlier to try and mimic what the user wants.
This kind of change is not worth the effort to figure out... my two cents... :)

AutoComplete in Infopath Dropdown list

Hi Techies,
I want to implement autocomplete feature in Infopath form drop down. The source of the contents are from sharepoint list. Can you please let me know if it can be achieved through OOTB features?
Please remember to click 'Mark as Answer' on the answer if it helps you

If i understand you, autocomplete is a feature available with Managed metadata. If you want this kind of functionality, it is not available in the Infopath form OOTB. But when you highlight the dropdown, you can go to the first character of the options by
hitting any alphabet. I hope that answers your question.
Below is the link to do this using Jscript:

TableView: Filter as Dropdown

Hi @all
Has someone experiences with rendering the filter-row in an TableView? I get the access to the "data-rows" and i am able to render them, but how to get access to the filter row and create a "dropdown-Filter".
I want to create a functionality which is know from Excel: Autofilter!
Thank you for helping on this
Thorsten

As promised, here is my example (using MVC):
In DO_REQUEST, I call a model method to create my filter table, because the content in my table is changing all the time, I need my filter to be up to date as well.
Example: LASTNAME as column name for the filter
data: lt_filter      type tableviewfiltertab,
      lv_last_insert type string,
* here go your table and table structure definitions
* lt_tvdata type ...
* ls_tvdata type ...
field-symbols: <filter> like line of lt_filter,
               <wa>     type ihttpnvp2.
append initial line to lt_filter assigning <filter>.
<filter>-columnname = 'LASTNAME'.
* define a pre-selection
<filter>-selection = '*'.
* append filter lines:
* first a joker character
append initial line to <filter>-dropdownlistbox_table assigning <wa>.
<wa>-name = '*'.
<wa>-value = '*'.
* ... and now the tableview table entries
* lt_tvdata is a copy of the table for the tableview
* sort table
sort lt_tvdata ascending by 'LASTNAME'.
* now do the loop ...
clear lv_last_insert.
loop at lt_tvdata into ls_tvdata.
*   if not in filter already ...
    if lv_last_insert is initial or lv_last_insert ne ls_tvdata-lastname.
*     then append the value
      append initial line to <filter>-dropdownlistbox_table assigning <wa>.
      <wa>-value = ls_tvdata-lastname.
      <wa>-name   = ls_tvdata-lastname.
*     set last insert
      lv_last_insert = ls_tvdata-lastname.
    endif.
endloop.
sort <filter>-dropdownlistbox_table by value.
This should do for a quick example, all left to do is use the filter in your tableview:
<htmlb:tableview
id = ".....
columnFilters = "<%= model->filter %>" />
* filter table as model attribute in this case
Well, I should turn this topic into a weblog, as I got another (slightly different) dropdown in my filter ...
Hope you get your part going with this example for a start.

Customization of filter view in obiee 10g

Hi,
I have a report with chart view and filter view.
We have some implicit filters in the report(static filters).
Is it possible to hide the static filers and display only the selected prompt values(explicit filters/dynamic filters) in the filter view.
Thanks in advance.
Sankat.

Hi,
I dont know if this idea works for your requirement.
Try to have a dummy condition validate the static and the dynamic filters in the reports.
For example-
column_name less than 0
and static filters
OR
column_name greater than 1
and dynamic filters
Hope this helped/ answered

Filter Query in dropDown box in WAD 3.x

Hello,
I need to filter the dropDown values dynamically, This is the data:

Can we customize the column name in filter view?

When i select filter view and select an option from the drop down, it shows the name of the column and not the variable set in the prompt.
I want to customize that name so that it does not show the column name,shows the name given by us instead.
Please Help!!!

You can't customize the filter view, play around with the narrative view instead.

Search Criteria: how to filter dropdown lists?

Hello Experts!
In my 'Search Criteria' page of Complaints I have some fields such as Transaction ID, Transaction Type, Created By, Partner Function, etc. 'Partner Function' is bringing ALL partner functions of the system in the dropdown list. I need to restrict/filter this dropdown list in order to bring ONLY the values that I need.
The same thing happens, for example, the field 'Status'. It brings all statuses of the system, but I just need it to bring the statuses of my Status Profile.
This happens for all dropdown lists in all search pages.
How can I filter these dropdown lists?
Thanks a lot,
Luis.

Hi Luis,
Redefine method GET_DEQUERY_DEFINITIONS and use the following piece of code:
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <rt_result> TYPE crms_thtmlb_search_field_info.
CALL METHOD super->get_dquery_definitions
RECEIVING
rt_result = rt_result.
READ TABLE rt_result WITH KEY field = 'STATUS' ASSIGNING <rt_result>.
<rt_result>-ddlb_options will contain all the values for status you see in the dropdown list. Modify this list as per your requirement and hence modify the main Internal table - RT_RESULT from <rt_result> for field status.
I hope this helps.
Thanks
Vishal

Customize Filter View in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
Is there any way to customize the filter view? My requirement is not to show formulas that are used in Analysis in the “Filter view”. All analysis that we create should go with Filter Views at the bottom and Users should not see the formulas.
Example:
Column Formula:
FILTER (sales.sales USING products.product =’Electronics’)
If I filter the above column, it shows something like this:
FILTER (sales.sales USING products.product =’Electronics’) is Prompted.
What is need to show in the filters is the Title of the column i.e. Electronics Sales.
Thanks in advance.

Customizing MSS reporting selection period dropdown list

We have diffrent ABAP programs that uses the PNP logical database and we want to customize the period selection dropdown list on the MSS reporting iview. In same scenarios we want to display only 'Today'. In these scenarios we use the report together with a variant.
When the user execute the report, the selection period on the variant is used and that is 100% correct. The problem is that the user change the selection period on the frontend (on the Iview) and this is not what is reflected on the output of the report, becasue the report uses a variant.
Therefore we want to customize the period selection dropdown list on the Iviewin the scenarios where a report uses a variant.
I know that we cannot customize the perido selction on the Iview, beacue we cannot set the properties on the Iview.
Is anybody familiar with how we can accomplish this.

Hi Darren,
We do have a property in the iview for which you can set the period. You need to know the name of the property. Give us the iview name so that we can have a look.

Add Zoom option to my filter plugin

Hi all,
How can I add the Zoom in and Zoom out options to my filter?
Does the inputRate parameter of FilterRecord relates to this topic?
I really need help on this one
Thanks alot
Inbal

Thank you Microsoft, for listening to your audience and restoring our threads and thank you Mike Laughlin, for starting this thread off and getting them restored.
You're welcome, but the thanks really should go to everyone who voted and voiced their opinions.
Actually, Microsoft listened to a portion of their audience. For people with a lot of threads, the 60-day option was far preferable.
I agree that the slow loading time is pretty bad. As I've stated elsewhere, I really didn't intend for the entire change to be rolled back. All I wanted was the option to view all of my thread history.
We frequent posters are definitely impacted by this, but IMHO this is still a good change for the majority of the forum users. There are many users who refer back to their older threads when they need that same information again down the road. I would rather
deal with slow loading time than having to answer the same questions every 60 days when people are unable to find their original threads.
What is needed here is improved search, and/or an option to personalize My Threads.
Yes, absolutely. A good search feature and a customizable date filter should solve this problem once and for all, for everyone.
