Hi Anish
You can make the standard settings and modify the XML forms builder in line with your requirements in the options. You can set the standard paths for your project on the <b>Paths</b> tab page.
To get a clear understanding, please go through this link.

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?

In XML form builder data schema not clickable

Hi ,
I have installed JRE version 1.6.0_07. When i click on xml foms builder ,it gets opened but when i click on data schema it's not clickable but icon is displayed next to data schema.I am not able to create any node in data schema.
Regards.
Adity.

Hi,
my problem is simular to Aditys: My Java Version is JRE 1.6.0_15. When I go to Content Managment --> Formbuilder, the XML Forms Builder starts automatically but it is not possible to open Data Schema. After downgrade to Java 1.4 I can not start the Form Builder, that means, after clicking on "Form Builder" in the Portal, a pop-up opens, but the XML Form Builder does not load.
Can you help me?

I want to design a News like the *LInklist* by XML Form Builder

Hello:
   Everyone!
   Now I have another problem about XML Form Builder
   I want to design a News like the LInklist by XML Form Builder
   I want the result,For Example
SAP News
       1news1
       2news2
       3news3
who can give me some adviseon about how to disign the Edit, Show and Renderlistitem in XML
Thanks a lot
Hope your help!

Hi,
In XML Form
1) Edit form is used for designing the user interface.
2) Show form is used for displaying the xml form to the end user
3) RenderListItem is used for rendering the xml form into a small description like 1News1, 2news2 etc..
    Here you need to display only the heading of the xml form
After you create the xml form
Create Layout set where you need to give the proerties like xml renderer form , no of items to display etc...
Thanks&Regards,
Raghu

Populating dynamic values in the combobox with XML form Builder.

I am trying to populate dynamic value in the combobox with xml form builder. I see the document saying create property group and document property Id with respecitive values. I am able to create the property group with system admin -> System config
-> KM -> CM -> Global services -> property Metadata -> groups with new button. and I am trying to create document property Id with value. I am not able to find the way to give value in the property. I am using EP 7.0 Sp 14. Please let me know how to sovel it

Hi
You can create new property metadata with System Admin > System Config > KM > CM > Global services > Property Metadata > Properties > New. Specify the values for this metadata as the ones you need to have in the combo box. Use allowed values parameter of the matadata to sepcify the values. Each metadata property will have unique property ID and you can map this property ID to your combo box in xml forms.
Give it a try.

XML Forms Builder - Create XML in external System

Hi,
Is it possible to create a XML file in a system external to Portal (the DataModel is the same) and after uploading it to the Portal and obtain the same behavior (rendering) of a XML created in Portal by the form generated by XML Forms Builder?
I've tried to do it, but the file is not rendered as expected.(It appears the XML File but not rendered by the XSL generated by XML Forms Builder).
Regards,
André

Issue with XML form builder

Hi All,
1 ) My XML form builder is hanging up very very frequently (other than this, my portal is very fast).
when I save the project its hangs up at "50% saving internal model". then I have to close the xml form builder and reopen it and save it again (when i do it repeatedly, some time it saves).
when I click on "open Project" many times its not popup the project list, I have to close the xml form builder, logout from my portal and then login back.
Its horrible to work on this, keeps on hanging every time. Any idea why its behaving like this? as I said, my portal is very fast except XML form builder.
My Java version is 1.4.2_16... XML form builder verison is 6.xx
2) when clicked on "preview" button, can we open a pcd iview??? my requirement is, when user clicks on preview button I need to open my application built in PDK java (created iview out of it, which shows xml form in a better way)?
3) Can I show "Edit" form first other than "Renderer" form in News application? Presently it shows renderer form-> user has to click edit link -> then it will open Edit form. I want "Edit" form to be visible to the user in the first step itslef. is it possible?
Thanks
Pradeep

Hi.
I suppose changing of the JDK, because 1.4.2_16 is not recommended version (see SAP Note 716604). Refer to note 718901 - How to Change the JDK of the J2EE Engine.
Also check what version of client JRE in use. (see Note 1341069 - XML Forms Builder not supported if client JRE is 1.6).

Behavior of XML Form Builder after SP 13 upgrade

Dear Experts,
We are working on E.P 7.0 SP 10 and we've recently applied SP 13 and started testing the system.
What we found on XML Form Builder is, we are unable to add schema (under Data Model) to the project.
Can some one help us where exactly went wrong.
Best Regards,
Satyadev

Hi,
i think, i have faced the same problem recently.
I had the problem that i saw the 3 categorys: namespace,data schema and properties.
But i couldn't open them by clicking on them. This is also your problem?
What i did with lots of hours of testing.
1.Once you have managed to add something to the data schema you are fine. Then it will always be opened. ( Try opening an existing project and you will see that.)
So you could open an old project and modify this.
2. It is still possible to open the Data Schema. I don't know where to click exactly but i click like 100s of times on the symbol of Data Schema and with a little bit of luck it opens. If it doesn't work, i restart the Forms Builder and i try again.
Regards,
Marcus

Query on XML Form Builder

Hi,
I have an news application to be developed in XML Form Builder. I am creating News Author part of it. It has an Date field where i have to do an validation like the user cannot enter date less than the current date. I can perform simple data type validation through the form builder. Can I perform the above said validation in XML form builder or is there an work around in getting this done.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Ganesh

hi,
I opened the schema of this particular application in the KM. I edited the tag for the particular application and included my restriction, so that the validation could occur. I did the same for string field in restricting the no of characters and found to be sucessful. But the same doesnt work for date field...
The tag goes like this
<element name="ExpiryDate" default="" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="date" ns="default"><simpleType><restriction base="date"><minInclusive value="01/01/2009"/></restriction></simpleType></element>
Usually you dont have this restriction.....I have added the tag in bold.....But still validation doesnt occur.....What is the format in which date is stored????
The same worked for string field as shown below. I can restrict the entry to just 5 characters depending upon the restriction, I make in the schema.....
element name="Courtesy" default="" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="string" ns="default"><simpleType><restriction base="string"><maxLength value="5"/></restriction></simpleType></element>
How can i apply the same to date field???
Any inputs from Consultants worked in Form Builder??
Thanks & Regards,

Path to XML form builder reports in Portal

Hi Experts,
I am facing one issue. We have few XML forms builder screens in Portal.
Those were appearing fine but now one of them is not appearing properly.
Please let me know under KM , where these reports are stored so that I can check whether these reports.

Srini,
The XML forms are under etc-xml forms.
However, if the forms are not appearing properly, you would have to open it in XML forms builder and check.
Assign yourself the Content Management role. Check this wiki for more details.
