Dropdown list & search options

I am setting up my Aperture catalog and would like to have dropdown fields for info. on each image. How do I set this up and how do I search through the catalog for these?
For example, I want each thumbnail to have info such as:
Location shot: (drop down list - Hawaii, NY, Asia,etc)
Model: (drop down list - Christy, Amber, etc)
How do I set this up, and when importing what's the quickest/easiest way to select several thumbnails and put them into one field (ex: Location: Hawaii).
And then how do I search the catalog for all images where the model is Christy?
thanks

I believe you are asking how to configure Aperture to intelligently display keywords when defining a search. From your original post, you seem to want separate fields and drop down menus showing the values used in those fields. That makes sense but as far as I know, Aperture doesn't enable custom submenus. However there are workarounds. For information such as model names, locations and years, I suggest that you create keyword hierarchies of those categories and then create sublevels that contain the values you assign to images, such as
Model Names
->Christy
->Jack
etc.
Locations
->NYC
->Paris
etc.
Years
->2001
->2002
etc.
Then it might be helpful to create keyword button sets following the same organization - one set for Model Names, another for locations, another for years. But not necessary.
Finally you will need to create smart albums that correspond to your keyword hierarchy. Group the smart albums by folder and name the folder with the category (Model Name, Location, Year).
What you create with this system is a way to browse through the library. It isn't quite the same as searching, but it does give you a list of Names, Years or Locations to choose from. However, this is a labor-intensive approach because you need to create a keyword and a smart album for each new value. But once created, Aperture does automatically include new items using the keyword.
Sorry if this is a vague or sketchy description of the process; ask more questions of you want further details.

I want to access the options in the context menu when clicking on a dropdown list in the bookmarks toolbar, but the context menu disappears when I try to click on one of the options. How can I keep the menu from disappearing?

I have several dropdown lists in my bookmarks toolbar and would like to access the properties for some of the the items. This used to work fine. However, now, when I go to the list and place the cursor on a particular item, the context menu that is usually available on a right click disappears when I try to access one of the options. This is the menu that begins with Open. What can I do to regain this functionality? I really need the information in the Properties section. I'm using Firefox 3.6.8

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
Also check the Mouse driver settings in the Control Panel.

Please use the code tags when posting code (there is a button on the posting page for them). It would also help if you told us what you are trying to do, what error you are getting, and what you expect to get.
If you are just asking us to write the code for you, then you are in the wrong place.

Why does Google auto-complete fail in Firefox 17.0.1 when I type something in the search field there is no pull down list of options as I type?

When I type a word or term into the Google search bar the auto-complete fails; there is no pull down list of options for my search, only what I have completely typed in. I have to type in the complete word or term that I am searching for and then press return to get the results. I'm using a MacBook and OS X 10.7.5 Please help! This is so frustrating!

Note that websites may be using autocomplete=off to prevent Firefox from saving and filling autocomplete data as I posted above.
Did you check for that?
You can remove autocomplete=off with a bookmarklet.

If a site uses autocomplete="off" then look at this article for a bookmarklet to remove the autocomplete attribute.

Search Criteria: how to filter dropdown lists?

Hello Experts!
In my 'Search Criteria' page of Complaints I have some fields such as Transaction ID, Transaction Type, Created By, Partner Function, etc. 'Partner Function' is bringing ALL partner functions of the system in the dropdown list. I need to restrict/filter this dropdown list in order to bring ONLY the values that I need.
The same thing happens, for example, the field 'Status'. It brings all statuses of the system, but I just need it to bring the statuses of my Status Profile.
This happens for all dropdown lists in all search pages.
How can I filter these dropdown lists?
Thanks a lot,
Luis.

Hi Luis,
Redefine method GET_DEQUERY_DEFINITIONS and use the following piece of code:
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <rt_result> TYPE crms_thtmlb_search_field_info.
CALL METHOD super->get_dquery_definitions
RECEIVING
rt_result = rt_result.
READ TABLE rt_result WITH KEY field = 'STATUS' ASSIGNING <rt_result>.
<rt_result>-ddlb_options will contain all the values for status you see in the dropdown list. Modify this list as per your requirement and hence modify the main Internal table - RT_RESULT from <rt_result> for field status.
I hope this helps.
Thanks
Vishal

Default values to be populated in the search option ' Equip by equip list'

All Experts,
I am running the transaction code IE01 to create a equipment. While creating, i would like to select a reference equipment. When i am doing so, there are so many included search options are displayed. Now, there are two queries from here onwards.
a)Is it possible to hide / deactivate all other included search options except ' Equipments by Equipments list'.
b)When the option 'Equipments by Equipments list' is selected, is it any way to default the values for the fields 'Equipment category' as 'M' and the 'Class type as 002'
Please help.
Thanks,
Suresh

Suresh,
You will not be able to accomplish this using standard functionality without doing some development. It maybe possible to accomplish this through Transaction variant.
Other than the above, the simplest way to hide the search options would be to place a implicit enhancement at the begining of the FM "PM_HLP_PREVENT_RECURSION" to delete of the search helps other than "Equip By Equip List" based on the calling program and screen number.
With respect to defaulting, other than what Paul had indicated , try defaulting those values by setting the Parameter ID.
Thanks
Narasimhan

Who is Who - dropdown list for fields in the advance search

Hello:
In the advance search of the Who is Who service, we have the Organization Unit and Cost Center as searching fields.
We can't be able to see the dropdown list for these 2 fields from the Portal.
Do anyone have any idea of what configuration is missing?
Thanks.
Regards,

hi,
according to my knowledge they don't have Unique ID but unique names attached to them.
open Outlook
go to Tools -> Forms -> Design Form -> select Message then right click on 'To' textbox and chose Advance Properties it has a field 'Name' that name can be used for reference in your development.
hope this helps you.

Open tabbed panels from dropdown list option value

I have about 10 tabbed panels on my page.
I created a dropdown list, <option value></option value>.
I need to open the specific panel when an option is selected from the dropdown list. I know how to open tabbed panels by URL, a button, and a link on the same page. But how do i open a tabbed panel from a dropdown list. The <option value> in IE does not allow for onclick events in IE.

Yes and I have been trying to find that. Right now I have it setup where the onchange event is "location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;">
and then I have each<option> in the dropdown list with teh value=http://URL.com?tab=3#tabbedpanels1.
It works but it isn't as dynamic as I would like. When i select each option in the dropdown, it refreshes the page and opens the correct tabbed panel. Then the dropdown list is reset to the default value because the page refreshed. I wanted to do this without the page refreshing, that way the dropdown list item remains at what I selected to open the tabbedpanel. and plus, I didn't want the page to refresh everytime but to just open the tabbedpanel the same way as if i made a button to open it.

Restrict Equipment Search Options to only "Equipments by equipment list"

Hello Experts,
Is there a way to restrict Equipment Search Options to only "Equipments by equipment list" in all PM related transactions like maintenance plan, order, notification, measuring point, etc.,
We would like to put a hard stop on that option and restrict users from accessing (preferably not to even display other options) other options like "Equipment by Cost center", etc.,
Appreciate immediate response to this issue.
Thanks in Advance!!

Hi PM_User_2009,
The Equipment Search Options can be restricted by two ways.
1) If the restricted search option required in all transactions where you are using equipment field,
Edit the search help collecting search help 'EQUI' in SE11, Flag the checkbox for all the search helps in the 'Included Search helps' tab except the 'Equipment by Equipment list' search help (EQUIL).
2) If you want for particular transaction or program,
Use the search help exit 'PM_HLP_PREVENT_RECURSION'.
ABAPer can help you for both the options.
