Customizing table of contents

Hi everyone,
I am looking for help with TOC's. The book I am working on needs to have the page numbers followed by either "A" or "B" to define the top and bottom of the page. Please see images.
How can I achieve this ?
Thank you !
PS: Im sorry if my english isn't perfect. If you think you can help, but didn't find my message clear enough, please let me know, and I'll try to phrase it another way.

You can add a logo graphic to the TOC, but you don't currently have any control over sizing etc.
You use the Separate mode TOC if you want it to be present on every slide rather than sliding in or or out. However, on Cp 5.5 and up you also now have the option of triggering slide in or slide out of the Overlay TOC using a system variable. You can trigger this ON Slide Enter, or via an interactive object such as a button or click box. So if you wanted the TOC to appear or disappear when you get to a certain slide, you can do this.
If you make changes to the slides or slide names in your project, you will need to regenerate the TOC to update the list it shows, then publish. That's currently the only option you have.
The default TOC has check marks and changes colour to show which section the user is currently on. In my experience these work quite well. Are you not using this?
If you have suggestions for how you think the TOC should work, feel free to log an enhancement request using the form provided here on the forum. That's the best way to lobby for improvements. Just talking about stuff here in a post doesn't necessarily get anywhere.

Can I create a custom table of contents and link to other .pdf files based on responses to a form?

Hey Everyone! First post ever, so bear with me:
I'm trying to create a streamlined method to use a form to let myself and others add information and select certain options to put together a custom table of contents. Basically, I would like to have a form with a series of text fill and single/multiple choice options that will automatically populate a table of contents based on the selections and will link to other .pdf files that are associated with the selections. I was hoping this would be possible with a form, but I'm relatively new to the function of the software as a whole and my research came up short. Any suggestions on how to start are more than welcome, and if I wasn't quite clear enough I would be happy to elaborate.
Thanks for your time!

You would need to search for other PDF creation software that can accomplish what you desire.
There are many cheaper PDF creation alternatives other than Adobe's Acrobat Pro software.
Also, try doing a web search under these terms to see if you can find an app/software/solution that may work for you.

Change formatting of table of contents in Hyperion Financial Reporting

Hi
We're using Hyperion Financial Reporting to generate carefully formatted books of reports. Users complain about the default table of contents in these books, specifically:
--> formatting: the basic text-only, portrait-only, formatting does not fit with the "look and feel" of reports within the books.
--> placement: the fact that it doesn't seem possible to place anywhere within a book, apart from as the first page (they like a title page to sit at the front of a book of reports).
--> content: having a limited options for defining the text identifying each item within the table of contents. For example, the same combination of dimension members appear for each item in the table of contents, so the first few items look something like:
Report1_Label
Dimension2_Label, Dimension1_Label, Dimension3_Label, Dimension4_Label ....................1
Report2_Label
Dimension3_Label, Dimension1_Label, Dimension4_Label, Dimension2_Label ....................2
I remember reading somewhere that it's possible to define custom table of contents. Has anyone had any experience of hacking this? Where can I find relevant documentation on defining custom table of contents?
Grateful if anyone has any advice.
Thanks
Nathan

Hi Nathan
I've never done this before but there is a section in the Financial Reporting Workspace Administrators Guide (chapter 5). However this involves accessing the css style sheets and in my experience this can have unwanted and unexpected effects in other areas. It does appear to be fairly well documented though in this case so perhaps it is more reliable in this instance.
It does specifically mention HTML format and not PDF format so if you are publishing to PDF it is worth checking the impact on that too. Take a look at the attached for version 11.1.2 but I'm fairly sure this was available in earlier versions too.

Downloading blob content from a custom table

In our hosted Apex application, the following code from the Application Express Developer's Guide works great for allowing a user to download blob content from one of our custom tables via a download button. However, the code doesn't work on the Oracle Cloud because the "owa_util" package is no longer available. The code is as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE download_my_file(p_file in number) AS
v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
v_length NUMBER;
v_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
Lob_loc BLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT MIME_TYPE, BLOB_CONTENT, name,DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(blob_content)
INTO v_mime,lob_loc,v_file_name,v_length
FROM file_subjects
WHERE id = p_file;
-- set up HTTP header
-- use an NVL around the mime type and
-- if it is a null set it to application/octect
-- application/octect may launch a download window from windows
owa_util.mime_header( nvl(v_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE );
-- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
-- the filename will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||replace(replace(substr(v_file_name,instr(v_file_name,'/')+1),chr(10),null),chr(13),null)|| '"');
-- close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
end download_my_file;
Besides using web services, does anyone know of a way to do this? Is there a way to add access to the "owa_util" package in the cloud? I have also tried apex_util.get_blob_file_src but that is also unavailable in the Oracle Cloud.
Thanks,
Steve

Following Joel's advice:
The way I solved this was to split the code between two page processes and one application process. The download button first calls a page process to move the report data into a blob column and then calls another page process which is of "run application process" type. This calls the application level process where the download code, shown below, is called.
Notice the following changes to the code from the one posted earlier (also from Joel)
1) added sys.htp.init;
2) "sys." to all htp, owa and wpg_docload calls
3) added apex_application.stop_apex_engine; after the wpg_docload statement at the bottom of the script.
Now the download button launches a "save as" dialog box and the report content is downloaded to the client.
The code now looks like:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE download_my_file(p_file in number) AS
v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
v_length NUMBER;
v_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
Lob_loc BLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT MIME_TYPE, BLOB_CONTENT, name,DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(blob_content)
INTO v_mime,lob_loc,v_file_name,v_length
FROM oehr_file_subject
WHERE id = p_file;
-- set up HTTP header
-- use an NVL around the mime type and
-- if it is a null set it to application/octect
-- application/octect may launch a download window from windows
sys.htp.init;
sys.owa_util.mime_header( nvl(v_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE );
-- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
sys.htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
-- the filename will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
sys. htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||replace(replace(substr(v_file_name,instr(v_file_name,'/')+1),chr(10),null),chr(13),null)|| '"');
-- close the headers
sys.owa_util.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
sys.wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
apex_application.stop_apex_engine;
end download_my_file;
Thanks Joel for your help.

Customizing the Cell Content of a Pivot Table

Hi,
I have been away from ADF for a few years (since 10g v 1.3.1) and am quite impressed with all the Faces functionality added to the 11g release. The application I wrote relied heavily on pivot tables which back then, I had to use stored procedures in the database and dynamically views to display information. I am very interested in moving this application to 11g and taking advantage of the PivotTable component. One thing the application does is change the style of cells based upon the object being presented. I have been reading:
Oracle® Fusion Middleware
Web User Interface Developer's Guide for Oracle Application
Development Framework
11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
B31973-03
And am very interested in section 26.8 Customizing the Cell Content of a Pivot Table.
I easily created a pivot table and would like to change the formatting of various cells. I created a backing bean for a test page and added the Example 26–4 Sample Code to Change Style and Text Style in a Pivot Table to the bean.
public CellFormat getDataFormat(DataCellContext cxt)
CellFormat cellFormat = new CellFormat(null, null, null);
QDR qdr = cxt.getQDR();
//Obtain a reference to the product category column.
Object productCateg = qdr.getDimMember("ProductCategory");
//Obtain a reference to the product column.
Object product = qdr.getDimMember("ProductId");
if (productCateg != null && productCateg.toString().equals("Sales Total"))
cellFormat.setTextStyle("font-weight:bold")
cellFormat.setStyle("background-color:#C0C0C0");
else if (product != null && product.toString().equals("Sales Total")
cellFormat.setTextStyle("font-weight:bold");
cellFormat.setStyle("background-color:#C0C0C0");
return cellFormat;
Almost verbatim except changed the literals to select data in my use case domain. My question is: How do I invoke this message from my pivot table? I need to pass it a instance of the DataCellContext. The example is great and illustrates what I am looking to do but does not go into the implementation details required. Is there a sample app available for download that demonstrates these capabilities?
Thanks,
Jeff

Hello,
I haven't fully understood your question.
Is it: How do I call the getDataFormat() method from my pivot table?
If so , you need to set the dataFormat attribute of your pivot table.
ex: <dvt:pivotTable id="pt2" var="cellData" varStatus="cellStatus"
value="#{bindings.YourView.pivotTableModel}"
headerFormat="#{viewScope.yourBean.getHeaderFormat}"
*dataFormat="#{viewScope.yourBean.getDataFormat}"*
contentDelivery="immediate" pivotEnabled="false"
columnFetchSize="-1" rowFetchSize="-1"
/>
I also put the *headerFormat* attribute which allows to customize the headers
I hope I understood your question ;)

Custom button table of contents widget

Hi guys,
I used to have a widget that would allow you to create a custom button for expanding the table of contents ... one for the default state and then it would swap the image when it was expanded, the button would attach to the right hand side of the TOC ... does anyone know if this widget still exists and preferably one that works in version 7?

Do you really still need it? Since Captivate 6 in the TOC-settings you have the possibility to upload custom Collapse/Expand icons to use as buttons:

What kind of transport request is used to transport custom table contents ?

What kind of transport request is used to transport custom table contents ?
Also what kind of transport request is used to transport SAP standard table contents ?

Create Workbench request only.
Because when u will transport the table from development server to quality that time table records won't transport.
We don't have any TR type to transport table with records.
If usefull reward points helpfull.....

Creating a Table of Content (toc)

Hi
I am very new with Output designer, so please dont mind if it is a silly question.
I have to create a PDF report which has around 15-20 sections. I need a toc (table of content) at first page and at the specified position with page number for each section.
All the sections has some header and detail subforms, so pagenumber is not known at the begining for each sections. I am using xml file as the data file.
So can i use JFPREAMBLE to get the page number for different subforms, and write that on to the toc subform,
i did lot of mind storming but not able to resolve my problem, please help.
thanks and regards
nitin

Hello,
I was able to create a TOC for a recent customer in the UK.
Took a lot of work, but it worked.
You will have to create a TDF to get the data that you require to be on the TOC, but this is quite easy. The best way is to get the TDF to output the result as a seperate file, and then get the orginal data to call the file as the first thing that you do by using the ^file command
If you would like an example please drop me a line at [email protected]

How to find out which program fill a custom table ?

Dear All,
I am trying to find out which program fill custom table, I tried se11, which programs used this custom table via where used list but could not find. Is there any different way ?
Regards

Hi Sappcon,
yes, it is as Brad said, but you should extend the approach regarding this tables content: If it is related to an existing business object (i.e. order, delivery or the like), you may have a look at user exits/Badis in that field.
Also, the dynamic approach is possible. First use report RPR_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN to find the name of the table in all programs in customer name space - it may be defined as a constant in program/function group/class.
If the dynamic approach is used, the name of the table may be determined by reading another (custom) table or even in a programs text pool. You may find this by searching a pattern UPDATE() - or MODIFY/INSERT in customer programs.
If the table has update date/time fields, check what jobs or online activities can be responsible.
If, after all, you still do not know, then I'd say this is a consulting issue

Clemens

Table of Contents is not working in Pages 5.0?

I am attempting to find a solution to this TOC issue, in Pages 5.0:
The INSERT>TABLE OF CONTENTS sub-menu is grayed out.

In the Pages '09 it looks so simple to insert a Table of Content.
Is this an incompatibility issue?

Span columns problem with Table of Contents order

Hello,
I'm having a strange issue with headings that span columns and Table of contents order. My document has a heading paragraph in a coloured box, which is then inserted in-line into a 2-column text box. The paragraph style for the box (set to in-line) is set to span all columns, so that the 2-columned text doesn't get messed up.
When I create a table of contents, the Heading style that is inside the coloured box is being picked up fine, but even though it is inserted before the headings below it, it is showing up after the level 2 headings, instead of before.
I have confirmed that the insertion of the blue bar is before the text below it, as when I remove the span columns option, the TOC works as it is supposed to. Is this a bug?

Hi there, thanks for the reply.
The only way I could move the inline box to the left was to make a custom anchor and change the X value, this did not affect the TOC unfortunately. I also checked the location of the invisible marker indicating the location of the inline text box, and it is definitely before the heading that follows. I confirmed this by removing the span columns option for that paragraph, and the TOC displayed properly after doing that, meaning there is likely some problem with the span columns option not properly recognizing the order of content.

i want to change field 7 as key field.
Can i do perform operation??
when i am tryingto perform bove operation it is taking long time to get the table activated.
Could any one please help me in getting this resolved.
regards,
Sravanthi.

Use DB Utility (se14) to perform alter table or conversion. The latter is used when atemps to perform first operation fails. Which one is used, really depends on system and current DB table state (i.e. if has any content and what is being adjusted).
The way Max suggested is similar to [conversion process|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/cf/21f1b8446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm] which system takes care of itself.
Refer [Adjusting Database Structures|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/EN/cf/21f1ab446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm] and already given link to conversion.
Please also consider potential errors while doing conversion . This can lead to data loss, so you should think of some backup to prevent that.

Creation of Custom table in MII database.. Recommended?

Hi All,
In MII 12.0.6, I came with a requirement where I need to store some data in a table. As MII 12 runs on netweaver so naturally it has a associated database. Can we use that MII schema (or some new schema in that netweaver database) to create some custom table, to store some data. I am planning to connect that table by creating a IDBC connector and sql query.
Thanks,
Soumen

I would not create a custom table in the same schema, but I see no reason why you couldn't create another schema in the same database server to hold your custom content.
