Default object settings in templates?

I would like to save highlight boxes size and color, mouse
click properties, and others as default object settings for new
recordings. After saving a movie as a template and creating a new
movie from that template, objects in the recordings do not retain
the properties I expected. Is there any way to set these
defaults?

You can do nothing about the mouse - that I can think of,
anyway. The highlight boxes (including properties) as well as
click-boxes, buttons, text-captions and other objects can be saved
to just one or two slides in another movie, then opened in a 2nd
instance of Captivate to be copied and pasted as needed into the
"current" project.
Without criticizing "templates", this simple "Library Movie"
concept is similar but without the confusion-factor that some
people have with templates.
Have a good day!

How do you set default object settings

I don't know how this happened but my default setting for object transparency got changed from "normal" to "color burn"
(By selecting: Object - Effects - Transparency - then Color Burn or Normal) How can I switch this back so that the default is always on normal so I don't have to switch it from color burn to normal everytime I create a document?
It took me an hour to figure out why objects were translucent. I kept thinking they were behind other objects and trying to bring them to the front, but they weren't. They were just set on color burn. I switched it back to mormal but everytime I start a new document, it defaults back to colr burn. Its driving me crazy.

By the way, color burn is the default ONLY when I draw cicles. If I draw a box, or any other shape the default is normal and works the way I want it to. Very odd. Just a pain because everytime I draw a circle I gotta go through all these steps to set it back to normal so the colors don't burn through

Runtime error with column default value settings

I have one SP2010 (enterprise) document library which gives me a runtime error if I click on "column default value settings" in the settings. Other document libraries' column default value settings are working fine. I use managed metadata
and created libraries from templates. I deleted all custom columns from the site, only title is left over (content types are document and link to a document) but runtime error still shows up. How can I fix this?

Change default table settings

How do I change the default table settings in Pages? I usually want 2 columns without headings or borders, and it always defaults to 3 columns with headings and borders.

You need to create your own default template. Open the blank template & insert a table, click in it & choose the font, size, color, etc. you want in the fonts panel or format bar. You can do similar changes to inserted objects & text boxes. While you're at it resize the box if you want, set the amount of extra space in the wrap inspector, etc. Delete each text box, object & table after you've set them. Now, save this document as a template & select that template as default in preferences. If you decide to make any changes to the template down the road, just Save As Template again with the same name & replace the previous version.
Now, save this as a template then, in Pages > Preferences, select this template as the default for new documents. All of your new documents will have these settings for inserted objects, images & tables. Unfortunately, the settings won't apply to any other templates or "foreign" documents you open with Pages.
About the only thing you can’t set a template to do is remember to show invisibles & the window position. It is possible to get a template to show invisibles when opened, if you want. Save this document as a document then, in the Finder, change the extension from .pages to .template & put it in your My Templates folder in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates.Set up your document with the line spacing, margins, headers, etc. as you'd like. Redefine all of the paragraph & character styles to have your desired font.

Change the default margin settings for the MS word!

Hi All,
BI Publisher version:latest 10.1.3.4
DB:10.2.0.4
Oracle Apps:12.0.6
OS:AIX
We are facing an issue of which description is as below:
RTF output is being uploaded through "XML Publisher" Responsibility.
3.1.9 Header and Footer Margin from Edge Not Preserved in RTF Output
This issue applies to Versions 10.1.3.3, 10.1.3.3.1, 10.1.3.3.2, 10.1.3.3.3, 10.1.3.4, and 10.1.3.4.1.
Microsoft Word provides a Page Setup option for specifying the margin for the headers and footers from the edge of the page. This option is available by choosing the File menu, then Page Setup, then the Margins tab, and the From edge box. This margin setting is not retained when the output format is RTF. The output is created with the default margin settings instead. The margin settings do work correctly for other output formats such as HTML, PDF, and Excel.
So, the "default setting" mentioned here is around 1/2 inch for MS Word which is getting added in the output, even if the margin in template is zero.
Expected output:
So what we need to do is -
1. Check the MS word installation on the application server
2. Change this default margin setting as top and bottom 0 on the server in the MS word page setup. (I can give you steps to do this in word if required)
We have tried setting this margin to 0 on client side and generating the output and it makes no difference, so it must be coming from the server.
We need to know how could we modify the settings and need to know te source and Check the MS word installation on the application server?
Could anyone please share such an issue faced before!
Thanks for your time!
Regards,

Hi All,
Moreover,
Our understanding about the RTF output is this -
When we generate an RTF report output from Oracle EBS, the word document that is generated is with the settings of MS word that is installed on application server.
This understanding could be wrong as we have never faced such situation before! We have come to this conclusion because the default settings that we do on client machine do not work.
And as per the documentation of BI publisher the RTF should always be generated with the default settings of MS word.
So what you could help us with is this -
1. See if the MS word application is installed on application server ( if you think this is not application server, but any other server then please check there!)
2. Change the default margin settings for the MS word.
Regards,

Category Group (Objective Settings and Appraisals)

Hi
How can I create a new category group in the activity "Edit Templates" from the objective settings and appraisals?, The system automatically generates one category group Personnel Appraisals, so we need to create a new one?
This new category group is neccesary for the events appraisals (PE), and the category group that we had in the system is for personnel apraisals.
Somebody can help me to response this question??
Thaks,

Hi Carlos
Try to access transaction code PHAP_CATALOG.

CTC DI all-in-one fails at Step: Upload Default ACL Settings

Hi,
i need your help.
I tried to install a NWDI on a SolMan (Rel. NW7.01 SP06).
I deployed the necessary SCAs (DI_CBS, DI_CMS and DI_DTR =7.01SP6).
At the next point I'd like to use the wizard for the initial setup (DI all-in-one) and here are my problem.
At the step "Upload Default ACL Settings" it aborts with the error: Not a valid URL: Unexpected character found [':' at position 7]
Here an an excerpt from the log:

I checked the default Users. The NWDI_ADM, NWDI_DEV and NWDI_CMS (The NWDI_CMS was manuel created) exists and have the expective roles/groups and actions (e.g. NWDI_ADM = Group NWDI.Administrator = Role NWDI.Administrator + Action LcrInstanceWriterAll)
I checked the log/protocol and the strange argument there is dtrUrl : http://:/dtr.
I think the wizard is missing the right hostname an port for the as java. I tried to execute the Wizard with FQDN, simple hostname, localhost and edited also the host-file (like in other threads proposed).
The check of the SLD-Connection in the SLD-DataSupplier in the VA are OK (the http-settings and CIMClient Test works fine).
I spent a lot of time at the VA and configtool to finde the possible key with the missing value for the host an port, However with no success.
So now im here and hope some of you can give me an advice.
Best regards
Denis

Hello Denis
I have checked the attached error together with our expert for the DI
configuration wizard and found that the problem is most liked caused
by some variables that are not properly set by the underlying
framework (CTC framework) due to problems with the data bindings.
To investigate the problem in more details it is important for us to
know how the engine was being setup. Can you please let us know if you
directly installed the engine or if you upgraded an existing
engine? In case of an upgrade can you please tell us
which SP had the engine before the upgrade?
So if you upgraded from an earlier SP this might explain
your problem and we would directly know in which area to look.
Unfortunately we cannot offer automatic configuration
after an upgrade case (see our central CTC note: 923359) exactly for
such reasons (besides of that CTC don't know the state after the
upgrade). Configstore does not offer to add new parameters only to
modify.
As workaound you can try to run DI template and everytime where it
stops, do the step manually and skip the not working step.
Thanks
Kenny

Can I import (or create) default Lightroom settings from an existing document?

Can I import (or create) default Lightroom settings from an existing document and save them? Make them a personal default set opening with all future LR catalogs?

Thank you, John. That brings up the question: How to build a template?
BTW, I'm not trying to duplicate a catalog; moving it to a larger drive. When opening the newly moved catalog in LR, my former settings (identity plate, defaults, etc.) didn't migrate, though I copied the LR settings folder and its contents into the new location (drive) and opened my develop presets.

Appraiser Authorization Issue (Objective Settings and Appraisals)

Hello!
We are currently using Objective Settings and Appraisals for our
performance appraisals. ESS and MSS is also used during the process. We
do not use structural authorizations either.
Authorizations work fine for the vast majority of employees. However, we have an issue with some of our Human Resources users. For his/her ID they have authorization to certain personnel areas. However, his/her appraiser is in a personnel area they do not have authorization for. As a result, the appraisal does not show up when the user access ESS to work on their appraisal.
For example we have an HR user who has access to information in
personnel area 1081. However, her appraiser/manager is actually in 2054. As
a result when she accesses her appraisal it says no entries exist.
One solution we tried was selecting the 'No Authorization Check for Appraiser' on the
template. With this selected, the appraisal shows up with the personnel
number of the appraiser on the listing. When the appraisal is accessed
and the user tries to perform an action, the following error pops up stating the
appraisee person is not allowed and it has the appraiser number within
the error message.
Currently, we have the HR employee using a different ID for ESS that allows the
user to access the appraisal. Is there anything standard that will
allow the user to view the appraisal without using a different ID?

'Next Status' in status overview of Objective settings & Appraisals

Hello,
While configuring the status flow for a template in objective settings, we have the field called 'NEXT STATUS".
There are only three options
a. Save and change to display mode
b. Save and leave Appraisal Document
c. Nothing
Infact, we wanted the the document to be saved and moved to the next status with "Change mode" (or at least the push buttons in the next status should be working).
Is there any way to add this choice?
Thank You
Raghu Kolukuluri

Raghu,
The "NEXT STATUS" field specifies the status(save &leave or save &display), but you're talking about the status flow change, which is very much possible with in the same tab "Status Flow".
There is a filed called Pushbutton, this is where you select the pushbutton for the form to change the status flow. This staus flow change you can define in the field "TARGET STATUS", if you have any substatus in that status you can define that in " TARGET SUBSTATUS".
I hope this helps.Award points if this resolves your issue.

Status overview iview Objective Settings & appraisals

Hi,
is there a way to hide some status columns in the status overview iview of objective settings and appraisals. we tried by deactivating the available status in the appraisal template, but it does not seem to affect the iview.
we would like to hide them since they are not used in our process.
we are using ECC 5.0.
regards,
Bert Caryn

Hi
In our case, if a status is not used in Appraisal Template (in tcode OOAM - tab 'Status Flow' for the template - we removed the check against the unwanted status), that status column does not appear in Status Overview iView.
This is FYI. I don't know why this is not the case with you, but you may un-release and release the template and check again.
One more point - You may check view named V_TWPC_ACOL (Assign Columns to a Column Group). In this, you can set column visibility parameters such as Visible, Invisible and Do Not Display.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Vikas Bhatia

Quarterly & Half yearly appraisal in objective settings and appraisals

Hi,
I've customized the Objective Settings and Appraisals, created a template with part appraisal & its working properly. In my company the appraisals take place every 6 months i.e twice a year. If I create an appraisal document for an employee with validity say 1 year i.e. 01.04.2009 to 31.03.2010 in infotype 0025. Now within same appraisal document using part appraisal concept how can I do appraisal of that employee 2 times. Is it possible or I'll have to create 2 records in infotype 25, first for first 6 months & second for next 6 months. what should be the standard process?

Hello,
The administrator functions are in transaction PHAP_ADMIN. If you have a customer report and want to assign this to the transaction you implement HRHAP00_ADMIN. This has the advantage that the document selection (screen) is a given and you only need to start the report on the selected documents.
However, you normally would not give the administrator functionality to a 'normal' manager. This because the admin functions are performed without any checks and are very powerfull.
Your requirement can be or done via statusflow configuration (with extention set 2.00 and higher) or only by the administrator. To be honest, I think the statusflow won't give you the flexibility you probably want in this case (do workflows get re-triggered, are value determinations restarted etc etc.)
In our design resetting a document status is an interuption in the process which should only be possible for the administrator. The transaction phap_change_pa allows the manager to reset the document from completed to in process but thats all (This is not available in the portal).

When importing images in Pages, how do I set the default object placement to "stay on page" and "no text wrap"?

when importing images in Pages, how do I set the default object placement to "stay on page" and "no text wrap"?

Then use a Layout template.
I am a designer and I use Word Processing templates with layout breaks and all the other tools available because Layout templates are just WP templates with a lot of options removed.
Pages is not Indesign, but then Indesign is not Pages, …and Pages 5 is not Pages '09.
Unless your flyers are for the Web, why are you using Pages at all?
I am curious, what does your post have to do with the O.P.'s question? …and why are you posting it here?

Changing default render settings?

On CS5.
Every time I render it's reset to the default seetings.
Is there some way to change the default, or save and easily recall settings?
Cheers!

As Mylenium says, using render settings templates and output module settings templates is the way to go. Here is some more information, including how to set your templates as the defaults:

Any way to override default printer settings into a PDF

Hi -- I work for a large organization that has lots of computers and printers and prints a lot of forms and documents. We are moving towards more digitization of documents and records including printing forms as needed as opposed to having large sets of forms onhand. This should save us a lot of time and money once complete as these forms often change and the old process would be to then trash much of these documents and re-print for just one change. The majority of our printers do have letter & legal trays as well as duplex support, however due to the vast number of users the default printer settings tied to each user and/or computer may be slightly different. While standardizing all the printer settings across all users/computers would be one solution, we don't anticipate doing this as depending on the job peformed the different settings may be more preferable / advantageous for that user.
As such the other solution I can think of is to hardcode the specific printer settings needed to correctly print a large document into that PDF file which may differ from that computer's print settings. For example, the default computer print settings may be to print on just 1 side but duplex would be encoded / scripted directly into the PDF so IRREGARDLESS of the computer/printer settings this document would always print duplexed.
Is there anyway to do this? I would need to do more than just duplexing -- ie some form sets would need to be both duplexed and 'fit to printable area' whereas some would need to be only on one page and 'shrunk to printable area', etc, etc. Our current practice is to insert a 1 page coversheet at the front of each document with the printer settings that need to be used for that form set, however this has been difficult for some users to do and has caused unnecessary time with our IT troubleshooting form printing.
-Brandon

Hi Brandon,
You can use the Print Presets in Acrobat for that purpose. Please follow the steps below:
1. Open the PDF in Acrobat
2. Open Document Properties dialog (using Ctrl + D)
3. Select the "Advanced" tab
4. In the "Print dialog Presets" section, you can choose DuplexMode as well as Page Scaling for this document.
Please let us know if this works for you
Thanks,
