Dynamic Data forms

Hello,
In HFM Data forms, is there a ways that I can make the Form columns dynamic - I wanted my columns to pull the base members of the entity selected in POV. Is that possible?
Thanks,

How to build Dynamic Data Form in Planning

Hi,
I need for building Data Form in Planning 11.1.2.0 with table columns that would be consist of (example 1):
- Nov 2011 - Actual
- Dec 2011 - Actual
- Jan 2012 - Actual
- Feb 2012 - Forecast
- Mar 2012 - Forecast
- Dec 2012 - Forecast
Note: current period is "Feb" and current year "2012" has been got from Essbase substitution variables.
How to build Dynamic Data Form in Planning app using @relative function for period and year dimensions and Essbase substitution variables?
Example 2 (for current period is "Mar" and current year "2012"):
- Dec 2011 - Actual
- Jan 2012 - Actual
- Feb 2012 - Actual
- Mar 2012 - Forecast
- Apr 2012 - Forecast
- Dec 2012 - Forecast

As I know you can't use such range or functions in form member selection. Below are couple of options:
Use bunch of variables for each scenario and the number depends on how many months you want to display (18 months etc..)
pre-fill the data for related months and years and use data suppress options.

Dynamic period columns in data forms?

Hi,
We are running HFM v11.1.1.3
I have some input data forms that shows some different periods and scenarios, however the periods sometimes needs to be changed, so I was wondering if anyone knows a way in doing this dynamic?
For January we would like it to be:
C1=S#Actual.Y#CUR.P#CUR
C2=S#Actual.Y#CUR.P#CUR-1
C3=S#FYE.Y#CUR.P#CUR
and in March it should be:
C1=S#Actual.Y#CUR.P#CUR
C2=S#Actual.Y#CUR.P#CUR-1
C3=S#FYE.Y#CUR.P#CUR
C4=S#FYE.Y#CUR.P#CUR-2
in June and September it should be
C1=S#Actual.Y#CUR.P#CUR
C2=S#Actual.Y#CUR.P#CUR-1
C3=S#FYE.Y#CUR.P#CUR
C4=S#FYE.Y#CUR.P#CUR-3
so basically this would require 3 different forms, and with linked forms as well it will be many forms. So if there could be build in some kind of if statement?
Thank you in advance
Best regards
Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,
Nobody is answering you because there is no way to do that with Data Forms.
If you are skilled with Excel, and if you understand the implications of going that path, you can create dynamic Excel grids that send data to HFM using HFM functions.
Depending on your needs and your budget, you can also create a custom web application that would replace data forms.
If you want to stick with data forms, then you will need to create 3 forms (+the linked forms you mentioned).
Not sure that helped...

Dynamic add row/columns to data forms(11.1.1.3) v/s (11.1.2.1)

Hello All,,
There used to be an option in Hyperion planning 11.1.1.3 to Dynamic add rows in data form. I don't see this option in planning 11.1.2.1 ?
Could you please suggest how we can grant right users to add dynamic add rows and columns in data forms? or it is possible in 11.1.2.1 ?
out user want to have a feature of adding row in data forms (planning forms)
Thank you

Do you mean 11.1.2, if so then adhoc web forms really take over from adding rows as they add much more functionality.

Hyperion Planning Data forms - conditionally/dynamically populate rows

I am building a budgeting data form which I am trying to invoke some dynamic capabilities so that it is either not one giant for, or one that users have to load to multiple pages through a drop-down, which they will essentially see as too cumbersome and not accept it as a good solution.
The basic relationship is one entity owns multiple cost centers. I am trying to find way that a user can select their entity in the header row drop-down, and from that have the data form only pull in their relevant cost centers into the rows, then repeat the set of accounts we have defined for each group.
Essentially i want it to provide something such as below (the spacing is not being recognized, but the accounts should all be justified into a row). The set of entities are pre-defined. No problem. As are the set of accounts. The issue is getting it to vary which cost centers are on the page to load to. There are thousands of cost center in the system, so again I can't list them all. Also there are hundreds of entities so I can't have a different form for each. Way too much maintenance. I have a few ideas on how to link the relationship between the entity and cost centers. Probably an attribute on each cost center to tell it which entity owns it. Or worst case an alternate rollup in the Cost center dimension, grouping them together under a CC-Entity parent. Problem again is how do I use this in the form? Open to any suggestions at all. Thanks
Mark
Sample
Entity (user selected)
Cost Center 1 Account 1
Account 2
Account 3
Cost Center 2 Account 1
Account 2
Account 3
Cost Center 3 Account 1
Account 2
Account 3

If you have data tied for the cost centers of entities 'supression' options should only bring the related cost centers.
You can put all entities and accounts in a single form , member level access will only let the users see what they have access to...
There may be other solutions from experts here..
Thanks

Import/Export xml data from subtree of dynamic XFA form

Hi
We would like to import/export xml data (subtree) of a dynamic xfa form. The following script does only work with static AcroForms:
formular.content.subformDaten.Button1[1]::click - (JavaScript, client)
event.target.exportAsXFDF({aFields:["formular[0].content[0].subformDaten[0]"]});
With dynamic forms the script does export an empty xml file (no data is included, only xml root tag):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xfdf xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/xfdf/" xml:space="preserve"
><f href="ExportTest_frei.pdf"
/><ids original="EA43F92A6B6EA34F9C4DBBC2DA0B1840" modified="6A7C6282A167594F91240B773AA979A7"
/></xfdf
>
Any ideas? Many thanks.
Best regards,
Daniel

Hi Paul
The Problem that Daniel posted was originally mine. Now after subscribing to this forum myself, I try to describe the aim of using exportAsXFDF/importAnXFDF.
exportData("", false) and exportXFAData works, in my opinion, only with a DataConnection. In my form I have indeed such a connection for sending the whole form. But in addition I need the possibility to export and import only part of the data without overwriting the rest of the filled form.
exportAsXFDF works with static forms. So there MUST be a possibility that works with dynamic forms, right?
I hope anyone has a solution.

Why does my Adobe Dynamic XML Form (*.pdf) submit as data.xml

Hi, I have created a form and saved it as Adobe Dynamic XML Form (*.pdf) the form used to submit perfectly via email but today it keeps attaching to the email as in a data.xml format. What would cause this and how do I fix it.
P.S. I am a novice with Livecycle

Check the properties on your submit button. That is where you define the submission format.

Dynamic Rows in Data Forms

I have a data form, with the member in Page layout, and I want the rows of the form to be populated with the children of the parent that i select in the Page.
Example: Client 1 (2 Children members) and Client 2 (4 Children members)
When I select Client 1 as the page, the 2 children member should be populated in the row.
I have made a composite form currently, is there any better or efficient way to do it. My form has approximately 40 such clients.
Thanks

Cascading filtering yet again. It is unfortunately not quite possible out of the box. We have done it through hacking into Planning's own jsp files and heavily modifying validatedata.js but still what we have done was just a workaround. User variables seem to be the only option that doesn't require code bashing.

Data Forms - Dynamic changing months

Hi,
In my form i must have actuals and forecast. So e. g. Actuals(Jan, Feb) -> Forecast (Mar, Apr....). This layout will change next month. Actuals (Feb, Mar) -> Forecast (Apr, May....) The problem is to set-up the data form to move the "start" month in forecast scenario. I have my actuals set up as substitution variables. Problem is that when i set up 12 subs. variables to cover the whole year and then move one month further i do not want that last subs. variable to be set up but then the data form will not work. And if i set it up lets say continuosly i will finish with something like... Nov, Dec, Jan in the same year and i want it to finish with december.
Thank you very much for your help
lubos

I have one option for you, the data coming for Actuals can be loaded on Actual as version member. Load the forecast on the forecast version member, pull both the versions in the webform with supress the missing data. This should work as your actual data will not have anything for months in future so the future months will be supressed, and anything coming in the forecast will only for future months and not the months that have passed so past months will be supressed.
Hope this approach works for you

Get cell value in Planning Data form and using it in a business rule

Hi Everybody,
if i set the data type of an Account Member as text, is there a way to get the value inserted by the user in a dataform, turning it as dimensional member and using it in a business rule?
So, if the user insert the value "USA" in a cell, can i use any functions to tell essbase that "USA" is a dimensional member and then using it in a business rule, for example in a cross-dimension like Period1->FY12->USA?
I tried to use the function @Member and it doesn't work, but i'm wondering if there is a way that can let me get the value inserted and use it just like a dimensional member. What are the ways that can let user input value that can be used in a business rule? I think one is by using SmartList, is there any other ways? Maybe using variables?? As an alternative i tried to use Prompt Variable but there are too many members on which the rule must run.
Please help me, i wanna know if i can or not let the user input the member on which the rule must run...
Thank all guys
Bye
Maurizio

Thanks EW for your answer,
YesI could use SmartList even if i think it's very tough to handle. My experience on using SmartList in caclc script is not so good. I try to enter in details of my requirement:
I have 500 account members.
For each one, I have to calculate the monthly budget by sharing the amount among the months. The user wants to calculate it on the basis of the actual flow(over the months) of an unspecified account of the prior year. The unspecified account must be inserted in a data form.
So, i could use a Smart List but it colud be of 500 elements and then i should make a rule with as many IF as how many are the accounts. Or im wrong? The only way to use smart list dynamically in a business rule is by referring its values in a IF condition. Or i'm wrong.
I tried to use execution variable ma it seems don't work. In this case the user must pay attention to write the account correctly, otherwise as you say the rule doesn't work.
The value in PD0A020 is "PD0A000" (that is a dimensional member). The value in PD0A000 is "hello". In PD0A040 the rule returns "PD0A000" and not "hello" as i would. The function @Member appears to be not able to catch the dimensional member by the value in PD0A000.
{Example}="test"->"Input"->"Scenario_test"->"FY12"->"PD0A020";
Fix("test1","Input","Scenario_test","FY12")
"PD0A040"=@Member({Example});
endfix
So, my doubt is: is it possible for Essbase/Planning to use the value inserted in a data form and to turn it in a dimensional member? What are the practicable ways to let the user input/choose the member on which makes the rule run?
Thank you Ew, thank you guys
Maurizio

Data Forms takes a lot of time to open

Hi,
My Data Forms are having around 24 columns and some 150 rows, with multiple currencies. I have gone through the document 779502.1 for data form design considerations. But I cant split this form, have dense dimensions in rows and columns and rest in page and POV, not many dynamic members, have static dimensions in POV and hidden, no business rule running on save, and not much data in it as its still in development so not using suppress #missing. What are other ways to have data forms open faster? its not the IE , I tried opening with other browsers too. Please suggest
Thank You

Hi,
What are your hardware specs ?
Are you working from a remote environment ? If you are, activating HTTP compression will greatly reduce the time needed to open the forms.

Urgent: Problem opening a data form that uses a smart list

Hi, we've got a problem with a data form that is quite unusual.
The data form was working perfectly until yesterday when we put a smart list in it. The smart list is composed of 8 possible choices activated by the following member formula:
IF (SML==1)
((BDG->BegBalance->&CurrYear)/12);
ELSEIF (SML==2)
((INC_BDG->BegBalance)*("01A2"->ACT_FINAL));
ELSEIF (SML==3)
ACT_FINAL->&PreYear;
ELSEIF (SML==4)
(INC_ACT->&PreYear)*("01A2"->ACT_FINAL);
ELSEIF (SML==5)
ACT_FINAL;
ELSEIF (SML==7)
(INP_PER)*("01A2"->ACT_FINAL);
ELSEIF (SML==8)
INP_ASS;
endif;
Initially we tested the functioning of every different choice in the smart list and it was working properly. After a while we tried again to change the choices combination and we couldn't open the data form due to an error.
It is quite strange because sometimes it work and sometimes it doesn't. In the data form (that is very large) there are many accounts and scenarios that are dynamic calc, in addition to the smart list formula; we tried to open the form two minutes ago converting the data storage type of a scenario from "Dynamic calc" into "Dynamic calc and Store", and it seems to work at the moment... does planning have a memory limit? Can someone suggest a solution (or help us find out the reason)?
Bye

Anton,
new thread is one possibility, but the messsage box is not win message box, but SAP form, so I think you can clcik there without new thread too.
Check this thread, hope it helps

Adobe Reader XI - dynamic PDF Form and the E-Mail Dialog

Hi Community,
I have a dynamic PDF Form and we use the E-Mail function to save the XML-Data to local harddrive. That works until Adobe Acrobat Reader 10.1.2. But with the Adobe Reader XI (11.0.4) the E-Mail Dialog has changed so I am One is forced to send the XML file with Outlook or the internal mailer and has no option to save the file locally.
Does anyone know a workaround or something similar. The Live Cycle server with PDF extension is too expensive for our small project.
E-Mail Dialog (10.1.2)
If you choose Internet-E-Mail you get a Save-As File Dialog
E-Mail Dialog (11.0.4)
There is no way to save the XML-Data to local Harddrive.

Hi Pat,
Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
I guess I should not have updated the reader.
