Thanks and Regards

Using xml forms you can publish news, articles as per your requirement.
All these will store in some repository in KM content.
These news are publishes to end user using KM iviews(KM Navigation iview, KM documents iview...).
KM Naivgation iview - displays a list of docs in a folder
KM document iview - displays a single document in a foldefr
Check those iviews property called Layouset. Initially the layout set will be empty.
You can change the layout set as per your requirement.
You can find the types of layout set in the below path
System admin -> System Config -> KM->CM-> User Interface ->Settings ->Layoutset
The common used layout sets are 508adminexplorer, linklistexlporer.
You can make duplicate of them and then customize.
In that layoutsets there will be two options called collection renderer and resource renderer.
These should be customized.
In your xml form you create a xml renderer news and that name need to be given here.
hope that helps

Xml forms not rendered in default layout set - urgent

Hi guys,
I've to display several properties and to provide the rating and feedback service in conjunction with xml forms because a "NewsRenderer" doesn't support the display of additional properties.
So I tried to use one of the default layout sets (e.g. "Consumer Explorer") but the <b>xml forms are not rendered after selecting the "contentLink"</b> (displays raw content of xml document). I'm looking quite a long for a command that opens and renders the xml forms in a new window - without any success...
Please help! TIA

hi,
you have to create a XMLForms Repository Filter. Check this link:

XML FORM - How to save read-only controls with a default value

Hello everybody,
I have a 3 xml forms, each one to create one type of news. I need to use 3 because each of this forms has their own controls. But the control which indicates the type of news (asociated with a KM Predefined Property) must be common in the 3 forms, in order to use it on searches.
The question is, how can I include in this forms a control:
- Visible for the user
- With a default value defined in the control properties (each form has a different value, corresponding with the type of news)
- Read-only mode
- The value showed in the control must be saved in the associated KM Predefined Property when the user clicks the Save button.
Anyone knows how to do this?
What control can I use?
I was thinking of trying with text boxes, but I don't find the way to make them unwritable (Read only mode).
It is posible using labels?
Thanks.
Kind regards

Hello Jose,
I know you responded with a question... I see it in the email, but I don't see it here! Very odd... but in response:
The first thing I do when I open the Edit.xsl file is do a 'find' for the name of the text field that I want to be read-only (in my test case, it's 'location'). Repeat the find until you see something like:
[code][/code]
Below there is where I put the new code. Mine looks like this:
[code]- <xsl:choose>
- <xsl:when test="location='' and ($editmode='create')">
- <xsl:choose>
- <xsl:when test="./xf:ValidationError/@tagname='location'">
- <input name="location" size="30" type="text" class="urEdfiTxtEnbl" id="field_1157467268006">
- <xsl:attribute name="tabindex">
- <xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$accessibilitymode='true'">21</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>3792</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
- <xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="''" />
</xsl:attribute>
- <xsl:attribute name="readonly">true</xsl:attribute>
</input>
</xsl:when>
- <xsl:otherwise>
- <input name="location" size="30" type="text" tabindex="3792" class="urEdfTxtEnbl" id="field_1157467268006">
- <xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="''" />
</xsl:attribute>
- <xsl:attribute name="readonly">true</xsl:attribute>
</input>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>[/code]
I put the <xsl:attribute name="readonly"> in both places (when test, and when not test). I'm not entirely sure if that's necessary, but that worked for me.
Hope this helps,
Fallon

Layout set for XML Forms.

Hi,
I am developing a 'who is who' (contacts) page using XML Form builder.
Now, I want each contact to be displayed in a credit card design.
So, I could think about two different options for that
1. Adding the design as a background image. tried to add in the XML form itself; but it is not properly rendering. Is there any option to set it using Layout set(CollectionRenderer)?
2. Adding style sheet in XML form builder itself. But I am completely illiterate about this. Can write the design in a css file?
I could find two options in the FORM
Row Style:
(Style sheet for the table rows)
Column Style:
(Style sheet for the table columns.)
Can some one provide me a solution? or suggest some better solution.?
Regards,
Jelbin

Hi,
Just explain your requirement in Single line. What you want to do in XML form? What is your requirement?

How to use adifferent Show form to display a document created by XML forms

Hi,
I have created some XML documents using an XML form.
The XML form contains two Show forms, Show & Show2. The default is Show. When I view the XML document via a KM Docs iView the default Show form is used to display the resource.
If I wish to display the XML document using a KM Docs iView, but using the Show2 (non-default) form how is this done?
I have created Layout Sets for each of the different ways to display the XML forms, but there is no option to choose Layout Set in the KM Docs iView config.
Thanks,
Tom

Changing date format in XML form!!

Hi,
I have created a form by using XML form builder.I have many date fields in the form. I want to change the date format of date field from default MM.DD.YY to DD.MM.YYYY.
Helpful answer will be appreciated with points.
Regards,
Dharam

Hi Dharam,
you can change the date format in the KM Layout set as described here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?threadID=240057
but the XML Forms functionality does not refer to the additional format information set on he property as you can read here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?threadID=105044
Hope this helps,

XML form Help Needed Please

Hello Everybody
Here is my requirement.
I am creating a XML form that will be set up with a approval workflow. My form has a combo box with several entries and whenever the user selects something from this box the approver should be changed accordingly.
One more requirement is I should show this approver in the form.
Can somebody please help me. I have seen the propeties in the XML form but not getting any clue on how to use them.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Renu

Renuka,
In KM you can use layout set in order define something such as: command groups by files, folders and links. Also you can define your layout controller, which columms you want to display, number of rows so on. Please, read about layout set, collection renderer and resource renderer.
After, you can assign this layout to your folder or iview.
Therefore when you open your form from this iview, you can use botton defined in this layout.
As you can see by default there are two layout defined for news:
NewsBrowser
NewsExplorer
Try to analyze it.

Can we include a Document into a XML Form

Hi!
If I want to attach a document into a XML Form is posible?
i.e an Excell Document.
Thanx in Advanced!
Gerardo J

Hi Gerardo,
The info it's on my brain, jejeje, I have some experience with XML Forms. I really don't think you can attach (by standard/default) anything to an xml form, everything is a refence (even images).
XML Forms generates xml files, witch are rendered thru layouts and the configuration you set in the RenderList and Show forms.
Unless you find some kind of deployment that unifies the xml document with the file you want you will have to work with the references (link).
Best Regards,
Jorge M.

TWO objects of XML FORM

I have two questions
1- I would like to get the Form in the XML format. I have regular submit button BUT when I distributed the form, I got it in PDF format.
I tried to put a regular button then I put mailto: someone@somewhare then I picked the send format as XML. But when I distribute the form, it is coming as PDF as default.
Also, I tried from FORM PROPERTIES, then Advance -> selected the PDF Compatibilities then out put I put it XML, and I saved, BUT its go back to the default which is PDF.
2- When I designed a PDF FORM, it would take one XML object for the PDF. Is there way to include two or more of XML object with in one form?
Any help will be appreciated

Hi Shankar, thanks very much for your assistance!
Those links have solved my problem.
To summarise for anyone else who is attempting to do the same:
1. Create a custom property
2. Include the customer property in your XML form
3. Create/Edit a resource renderer, and set the Property for Sorting to the property that you created in (1). Note that this has to be preceded by the namespace in the format <namespace>:<propertyID>
4. Include this resource renderer in a layout set
5. Set your iview to use the layout set.
Hopefully I haven't missed out any important steps here!
Thanks again for your help!

Hi,
Create a KM Navigation Iviews which points to /documents/myNews , Now create a custon layout set or use news browser layout set for users (who need to see the news and cannot create) and for other users who can also create or edit news , a new layout can be created or news explorer layout set can be used.
For creating a custom layout .
Duplicate a default layout say News Explorer. and name it as Custom_News_Explorer.
this can be used for the users or gorup with create and edit option.
Duplicate this and make another layout, say Custom_News_Browser.
Click on Collection renderer > Displayed Properties
here you can see entries like rnd:icon,rnd:displayname(noWrapping/contentLink/maxChars=30)+rnd:action
the "rnd:action" is for the context menu option please remove this.
You can also customize your colums of navigation iview this way.
Hope this to be helpful.

XML Forms Builder - problem with checkbox

Hi,
I have created many checkboxes in XML Forms Builder and if I want to create a new document based on this "Form" I have still checked one of checkboxes. I would like to have all empty checkboxes becasue user should check the appropriate checkboxes.
Do you know how to resolve this problem?
Thaks for help!
Regards,
Andrzej Tabara

Hi,
is it always the same checkbox that is already filled in? Is this ckeckbox based on a metadata-definition?
If yes: You could maybe have a look at the metadata-definition. Is there maybe a default-value defined?

How to display system property in XML forms

Hi
We are using XML forms template for publishing news in KM. In the show form we got author field (a label in the form) which is mapped to system property createdby (PropertyReference = /Properties/default:createdby).But while displaying the form author is not getting populated. When I try to edit the form in XML forms builder in data model tab under properties node no property is visible. Nothing is shown up in properties even after reload option is selected from context menu of properties node.
I cheked by manually editing PropertyReference to some other property (e.g. modifiedby) but nothing is showing up.
Can you please suggest how the createdby system property can be shown in the xml form?
Thanks & Regards
Sudip

Hi Sudeep,
Please try to open the formbuilder in another machine and try to see the properties xml form design view.
You can even directly can create a lable in show form and add the property name along with the nama space name.
For default properties namspace is default.Create a lable UI element in show form and select the datasource property and add the property value in that.
With we can show file related system generated properties in show form.

How to reduce a PDF document that contains an Adobe XML form?

Hi,
I have created some fillable PDF files using Adobe LiveCycle Designer and used Adobe Acrobat Pro XI to save it as Reader Extended PDF > Enable More Tools (includes form fill-in and save)…
The form includes image, text field, check box, radio button, table and other controls, as well as java scripts behind. The files are from 1 to 3 MB in size. I tried Reduced Size PDF and Optimized PDF, but I got a message: “This PDF document contains an Adobe XML form. Such files cannot be optimized.”
My questions are:
Is there a way I can reduce the file greatly, say about 100 KB?
And after the size reduced, does it still keep the original quality in format and function?
Thanks

Hi,
if you only use default fonts like Arial or Myriad don't embed fonts into the form at all.
If you have to use a specific font because of corporate identity you should check if there are fields in your fom using other fonts like Arial.
Especially floating fields are a reason for big files as they use Designers default font even if you'll never see it in the PDF.
When using images, you should not check the "embed" checkbox, as this will save the images a base64-stream into the xml-source.
If unchecked the images are stored as hex-stream in the PDF-stream which cause a smaller file size.
Also, don't use high res images, 150dpi are far enough. You also don't need 16Bit depth as Designer only supports 8Bit images with RGB colors.

Filter Predefined Properies, Feedback Search, XML Forms Show form issues

Hi all,
I have created XML forms with XML builder and I have some questions.
1. When filtering by predefined properties I want to filter by two properties, which are the same. For example, if there is a publication with two authors and author is the predefined property, in the first field I write the name of the first author, in the second field I write the name of the second author, the result is all publications, which are by both authors and all publication, which are either by the one, or by the other.
I don't have this problem when I filter by two different predefined properties. For example the author and the year. Than the result is all publication, which are by the author AND published in the requested year.
How can I set this option to be able to filter by two same predefined properties and the relation between both properties to be AND?(only publications by both author)
2. In the Show form I have created link to the feedback, using XML Forms BUilder, but I need to write first the feedback to be able to see already existing feedbacks,
if there are any. In the ResourceRendering Form I have created link to the feedback by LayoutSet, where I can see first, if there are already existed feedbacks.
If there is any possibility to set a LayoutSet for the Show Form or any other way in the Show form to display first the existing feedbacks and than to be able to write a new.
And something else reffering to the Show form, is it possible to rate the item from Show form or at least to have link to the rating, not a link to the Details.
I have tried to create a link to the /Properties/col:rating, but it doesn't work. The link dispays the value, if it has been already rated.
3. Is it possible to search for any information in the feedbacks(to make the feedback searchable)?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best regards,
Zlatina

Hi Zlatin,

By Default identic properties queries are connected by an 'OR'.
Please have a look into the documentation for further info.

So far it's not possible to connect two identic proerties by an 'AND' within the standard.
You can preset a search filter via the relevant Search Option Set.
