Customize Parameter Panel and Labels

Can anyone tell me how to customize the labels in the parameter panel and also change the word "Parameter" to "Search"? I am working on an application that will be accessed by users who do not know what parameters are. Any help will be appreciated.

So get your App to capture the parameter stuff (I use a VB.net program) and then use it to populate the parameters.

Can't change parameters that are not shown on initial parameter panel

I have a Crystal Report that is based on an Oracle Stored Procedure. This was created using Crystal Reports 2008, and it is published on a Business Objects 3.1 environment.
There are actually 7 parameters in the stored procedure, of which only 2 require the user to select. When the report is opened the user is asked for a date and a type to be evaluated. The report opens for a specific location, and the data associated is returned. When the WebElements submit button is hit it passes these 3 pieces of information, along with original information, new information, reason and user passing information. All of this is functioning.
The issue is when I publish the report. I set the location and do not pass it along. What I need is for the information the user does not enter to not appear on the input parameters in InfoView. I tried setting them as nulls initially, and not showing them on the parameter panel. Once these were set I was not able to change them on the second pass (with use of the submit button). Next I set them to specific values which the stored procedure looks for. That way I set them on the CMC and do not pass them. Once again this locks the parameters and I can not change them on second pass of the report. If I show the parameters and populate them on first pass, they can be changed on second pass.
Is there a setting in Crystal Reports I need to set to allow the parameters to not show on the startup parameter panel and yet still be changed?
Thanks

Hello Scott,
I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration|BI Platform; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to administration and configuration of BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, and Crystal Reports Server.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

Hi,
I had done some labels change in Advanced & Self Service console of OIM using OIMUI.jar. Now, i need to change the labels in Administration console. If I search for a user and select the user here, I can see whatever his Resources,Roles, Proxies etc he is having. Now, I need to change the label of Roles with some other name. Along with it, the headers in the Roles table like Display Name,Role Name, Description,Role Namespace etc. should also be changed. But I am unable to find the exact properties file in OIMUI or am I looking at the correct jar to do these changes in Oracle Identity Manager - Delegated Administration console.
Please let me know.
Thanks in advance

CR2008 . Net App - Parameters and Parameter Panel Not working

Post Author: cehowski
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I have a CR2008 report with one parameter, which works fine when running it in CR2008. I have an app developed in VS2005 (which should have been updated when I installed Crystal and re-built the app). The new "Sort Labels" work fine, so the Viewer should be OK (the right version). When I open the report in the app, the parameter does not modify the report in anyway, whether a new value is added when it first opens, or I try to change the value using the Parameter panel after it is opened. I've tried Saving with and without data, discarding saved data on refresh, and one or two other properties that seemed like they might have an effect. None of them did. Everything works fine within CR2008 - it is only in VS2005, using the Version 12 viewer, that the parameter does not work (all records are returned by the way).
Any ideas will be appreciated.

Carolyn,
Firewall is off. No antivirus. Switching Little snitch on an off makes no difference.
Just tried ot connect to the App Store again, and it says no connection, connect anyway.....I click connect, and the entire window flashes balck and white and I can see data traffic to and from the app via little snitch.....the black screen is it trying to load the page but not getting through.
Strange.

Chart, axis and customize grid and labels

Hi!
I created simple LineChart. Chart is dynamic. It changes when
I choose something from ComboBox.
I want to customize vertical axis (mx:verticalAxis) to show
grid and label for: 0,1,2,3,4...etc.
Now I have:
<mx:verticalAxis>
<mx:LinearAxis interval="1" minimum="0"/>
</mx:verticalAxis>
But It doesn't work. Sometimes I see grid/labels in: 0,3,6
and sometimes 0,2,4,6 !! My maximum is changing but I think it
doesn't matter. I want to show label/grid for each integer number.
How to set it?
Thanks for help! :)
newman

Hi,
Yes you can do this....you need to increase Top value for xtitle in cordalayout.cxml at this location OracleBI\web\app\res\s_oracle10\chartsupport.
Totaly we had five types in this LEFT LEGEND WITH TITLES ,RIGHT LEGEND WITH TITLES ,TOP LEGEND WITH TITLES,BOTTOM LEGEND WITH TITLES,NO LEGEND WITH TITLES.
So based on the type of view you used in you chart,change x and y axis titles,title and legends top,left,width,height as per your need.
I think you used BOTTOM LEGEND WITH TITLES,as per you requirement you need to increase xtitle-top value in order to increase size between x-axis and label.

CRVS2010 - Hide Group Tree and Parameter Panel

When I load a report into the CrystalReportsViewer:
crViewer.ViewerCore.ReportSource = document;
the viewer show by default the Group Tree and the Parameter Panel.
I don't want this, I want by default these panels not shown.
Is it possible?
I tried with:
crViewer.ViewerCore.ToggleGroupTree = false;
crViewer.ViewerCore.ToggleParameterPanel = false;
crViewer.ViewerCore.ToggleSidePanel = false;
but it doesn't work. And I don't want to use the ToggleSidePanelButton.
Thanks.

Advanced Dialog button on Parameter Panel?

Hello,
I was reading the pdf version of the online help file dated 5/16/11. The bottom of page 70 and page 471 discusses an Advanced Dialog button on the parameter panel. I opened a report that has dynamic cascading prompts, but did not see this button. I'm hoping someone can tell me where this button is or what options on the create parameter field need to be selected to enable this button.
Thank you
Tracy

Most of our Dialog boxes are dynamic so if the option is not available or supported with the type you have selected or using the various options are not shown.

Oops Don, yes, I am testing CR2011. I'm sorry for not remembering to put that in the message.
It caught my attention because it wasn't a feature that I was familiar with.
At least now you can let the technical writers know that there is at least 1 person that actually reads the user guides - LOL

Crystal Reports 2008 parameter panel discrepancy.

Hi,
I have a report designed using Crystal Reports 2008. The report has a dynamic parameter called Location which is populated from a table. It is a Value - Description pair so it is:
Value = LocID
Descripition = LocationName.
The Show on Viewer(Panel) attribute is set to Editable.
The Prompt with Description Only attribute is set to true.
In the Crystal Reports stand-alone Designer everything works fine. It prompts with the Description. After making a selection, the Parameter Panel shows the selected items(the Description, NOT the value) correctly. This is the desired behavior.
But when the report is viewed in the Crystal Reports Viewer that comes with .NET 2008 the Parameter panel shows the Value, which is LocID and not the description which is LocationName. This is NOT very useful.
I have tried other third party Crystal Reports viewers as well. They all exhbit the same discrepancy.
How can this be resolved?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
- Rajan.

Crystal Reports 2008 parameter panel

Hello,
I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 stand-alone application to design reports. I'm wondering is there a possibility to change information display on parameter panel?
The problem is that I've created a parameter with option "prompt with description only" set to true. This parameter has value and description. When it's prompting for parameter everything goes fine, it prompts with description only, but in parameter panel it's only values (not descriptions) displayed. This is confusing for report users as the value is key (int type) and description is name (string that actually says something to user).
Maybe there is something to be set in Crystal Reports Viewer component properties?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Gemi,
I recommend to post this query to the [Crystal Reports Design|SAP Crystal Reports; forum.

How to keep form field and label together?

In InDesign Creative Cloud (ID CC), I need to create a 20 page form (a type of questionnaire). As a prelude to doing this, I created a one page form. I am trying to keep labels (text) and fields together, so that if I add a question in the middle of the form, everything else moves down and stays in the correct alignment and relationship. Here is what I tried.
Option 1: Anchored Fields. I created fields on a "fields" layer and labels on a "text" layer. The text layer generally had tables to help me see where fields should be placed. However, to keep fields and text in the same relationship on the page, I anchored the field to the text. Hoewever, this has the effect of moving the field object into the same layer as the text. When I tried to use the Articles panel to put the fields in correct tab order, I discovered that only fields (unanchored) that were in the forms layer could be dragged into the Articles panel; anchored fields (now in the text layer) could not be dragged into the Articles panel. Why?
I know that I could also use the Object / Interactive / Set Tabs Order command, but I wanted to use Articles to see how that works.
In this approach, I also could not figure out how to put underline the text form field
Option 2: Tabs and Character Styles. I used character styles for underlining by not using tables, but using paragraphs and tabs to align where the fields should be. I applied a character style to a right-justified tab to get the underline. However, using this option, whenever I add a new question (field + label or instruction) in the middle of the form, everything else down on the page goes out of alignment.
What recommendations do other form designers have? I have been trying to think of how IRS has "dense" or "complex" forms, and how these might be designed in InDesign CC. in order to apply similar techniques to my form design.
I am running on a Mac, OS X 10.8.4, InDesign CC.

Unless I am gravely mistaken, isnt this what you want?
for (int i = 0; i < folderList.size(); i++) {
   String folder = (String) folderList.get(i);
    System.out.println("Folder: " + folder);
    System.out.println ("Messages: " + folderMap.get (folder));
}

Spry Accordions, Tabbed Panels, and Collapsible Panels: changing colors

I wanted to alert everyone to a great new Community article published by our very own David Powers. The article details the various best practices and methods for changing the colors of Accordion, Tabbed Panels, and Collapsible Panels widgets, including tab backgrounds, borders, and so on.
Here's the article:
http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/504/cpsid_50437.html
Customization questions are pretty frequent in both the Spry and Dreamweaver forums. This new styling guide is sure to answer lots of peoples' questions.
Furthermore, the appearance of such an article is a great example of how Community content can interact and live symbiotically with Adobe Help. We've linked directly to David's piece from our own customization pages for the Spry Accordion, Tabbed Panels, and Collapsible Panels widgets:
Customize the Accordion widget
Customize the Tabbed Panels widget
Customize the Collapsible Panels widget
Thanks a lot to David for hammering out this article.
If you're interested in publishing Community articles of your own, you can download the Community Publishing AIR application and get right to work!

The borders you see, are called outline, its a accesiblity feature of the browsers,
Actually called 'focus' lines :-)
Here's an article about the Bluefocus lines seen in Safari.
http://www.brunobergher.com/blog/2009/01/19/safaris-blue-focus-lines/
Without creating a Spry widget myself right now to test, but I'm sure thata there is a 'focus' rule in the css...
trying the
{outline:none;}
on that rule.

Crvs2010 beta - parameter panel - new feature

Hello,
I read the list of new features for crvs2010. One of the new features listed in the message is the Parameter Panel. The runtime engine supports a parameter panel on the left-hand side. You can optionally place parameters on the panel.
I did not see the feature in the beta that I have installed. Is it in the beta yet, or is there really something wrong with my installation?
I would greatly appreciate it if someone would let me know if they have this feature?
Thank you
Tracy

No problem David.
I know that you have a lot on your plate and I have been known to be a handful, as they say.
I can understand not updating the vs viewer, when there are other, more up to date options available. For the most post Visual Studio and Crystal are for what us old timers would have called "hard core" programmers, not end users. Today, though, that is changing, more end-users are sometimes very involved in creating what they need.
When I can catch my breath, I am going to search for a beginners tutorial that covers setting up the .net winform viewer.
As usual, thank you for all of your help. I really appreciate it.

Error refreshing report from parameter panel

I'm using Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 with .Net 4.0 in visual studio 2010
I'm using the following components
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine   12.0.2000.0
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.Framework   12.0.1000.0
CrystalDecisions.Enterprise.InfoStore       12.0.1000.0

CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms            12.0.2000.0
I have embedded the ViewerComponent in a windows form, everything works fine, loading report, exporting, printing, refreshing.
However, I need to allow the user to refresh the report by using the parameter panel, because once the report has been loaded, some parameters are not allowed to be changed by a user. So I try to accomplish this by using the parameter optional function and show in parameter panel (read only/ editable / Don't show)
However, when I try to edit a parameter in the parameter panel, I get to see the regular refresh dialog (this isn't a big problem...) however, when I do not enter any values, or just a few parameters, or all parameters, the viewer crashes with the following error:
Unable to cast object of type 'CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterField' to type 'CrystalDecisions.Windows.Forms.ParameterFieldInfo'.

Thanks for your response.
However, your not really right about that. I have integrated the viewer component into a WindowsFormHost, so it will just operate like a normal Windows Forms applcation.
However, I'm wondering what is causing the Exception. It is trying to cast a ParameterField, can I override this?

CrystalReportViewer in CR2008 - Parameter panel - apply button

Hi,
I'm working on a .net desktop application, that uses CR embedded server as a reports engine.
We just migrated from CRXIR2 embedded server to CR2008 Embedded server in our new release.
We want to use the new functionality of dynamic parameters in CR2008 in our application,
In our client side, we wrapped the crystalreportviewer control and hid the navigation buttons and toolbars, and replaced them with our own. We also have our own parameter pannel.
I would like to hide the viewer's parameter panel in our client side, and add an "Apply" button to our custom parameter panel, that will apply the parameter values without refreshing the report. This is meant to keep the same look and feel with the previous version of our product.
I found how to hide the parameter panel:
this.reportViewer.MainCrystalViewer.ShowParameterPanelButton = false;\\MainCrystalViewer is crystalReportViewer object
I didn't find any method that applyes the parameters.
Please advise.
Thanks
Dana

I think I found how to do it:
public void ApplyParameters(Hashtable parameters)
            ReportDocument doc = ((ReportDocument) m_viewer.MainCrystalViewer.ReportSource);
            foreach (string param in parameters.Keys)
                    doc.SetParameterValue(param, parameters[param]);
            m_viewer.MainCrystalViewer.ReportSource = doc;
Still testing this method.
