Excel import to create forms with pre-populated fileds

Can/how do I create forms with pre-populated fields from an external data source like Excel? Example: I would like to create 100 forms with pre-populated name fields from an Excel document containing 100 names.

Hi,
Sorry, we don't currently support creating forms with pre-filled data.

Is there a tool that exports and imports Planning Web Forms with securities

Hi,
Is there a tool that exports and imports Planning Web Forms with securities?
Besides Planning FormDefUtil.cmd
OS: Windows2003
Planning Version: 921
Thx

I don't think there is any one utility that exports both forms AND security. In version 9.3.1, the ExportSecurity.cmd will export dimensional security and form security. However I seem to recall that earlier versions only gave you the dimensional security, and not the form security. Unfortunately, I don't recall at which version the change was made.
Have you given the ExportSecurity.cmd utility a shot?
Hope this helps,

How can I get data from excel to populate a form with unique entries and distribute?

I would like to use Adobe LiveCycle to create a form, then use data from an excel spreadsheet to populate the form in a repetative fashion so that each person in the spreadsheet gets a populated form with only their applicable data on it.
Also, if there is a way to use a mail merge function, this would be helpful to know since each person is to receive their copy as an attachment through email.
Any help would be appreciated - have been researching for 2 days now how to do this and am at a loss.

See Connecting a From to a Database and Connecting to a Web Service by Stefan Cameron. Excel can have named ranges that can be connected an ODBC connection.

Form data pre population

I have read through the numerous pre population posts but none of them addresses the requirement I have.
I need to prepopulate a fillable PDF form with some information that will tie the person who downloaded this PDF.
I understand I can use XDP to specify the data and within this specify the URI to the PDF template. That way when the user downloads and open the XDP it will launch the PDF and fill in the data.
What I need is also the requirement that the user cannot update these prepopulated fields. The prepop fields/data is to be read only.
Is there a way I can achieve this?
Thanks
Jim

Jim,
This isn't the right forum group for talking about PDF Forms. This group is
for dicussion of the LiveCycle Data Services server which supports Remoting,
Messaging and Data Management from Flex applications.
Sorry we can't help.

How to read User ID from the request Form and pre populating in the AD User process form before provisioning

I am trying to read the user Id from the submitted AD User request form( Catalogue AD User form. I need User Id,firstname and lastname inorder to prepopulate the common name as in this format - lastname,firstname (userid) for the user to be provisioned in Active Directory.
So after filling the AD User request form with User Id and Organization and submitting the request, I am trying to
prepopulate the common name in the process form before the provisioning.
The prepopulate adopter for the common name is configured to read the firstname, lastname and userid. firstname and
lastname variables are mapped to User definition and user Id is mapped to Process Data. In this setup I am not getting the
User Id value from process data, it is empty.
Is this a bug with OIM 11g R2 or I need to do it differently in order to read the user Id that user has entered in the
request form for populating the common name?
Thanks

How to get USER_ID and IP_AddressWhy exactly do you need this data and what do you plan to do with it?
The data is not reliable and trustworthy. IP addresses can easily be spoofed (a few seconds if you know what to do and how to do it). Also, IP addresses are not static. Users also do not use the same network device to access the database - different devices will have different IP addresses.
The o/s user on the client is supplied by the client driver. This can also be spoofed.
The user can also use a virtualised device - which means that recording the IP and o/s user seen from the server side, is pretty much useless and meaningless.
So if this data is intended to be used for auditing for example - it would be pretty suspect data to use for that purpose.

Creating forms with dreamweaver

Hi i'm new to the forum.
I need help with a certain aspect in creating forms. The company I work for is running Dreamweaver MX 2004. We have an online application form that we have create to collect data for people wishing to join our Club. In one section of the form we ask for peoples vehicle details. My question is when they choose what type of vehicle they own from the drop down menu I then want the next section of the form to expand to reveal a new section for them to be able to fill in their vehicle description such as Year, Make, Model etc. We have 7 different vehicle types for them to choose from. so depedning on which one you choose a different vehicle description will be revealed.
Can anyone help me with this? I have seen it done on other website such as insurance companies but I don't know if it can be done through dreamweaver.

Let me try to answer this on a broader level.
Prepeare your complete form and make the property visibility as hidden (or display style as none) for the fields you don't want to show.
Now say you select any option out of vehicle description drop down, for example 'Sedan', then your drop down will have a javascript function call which will be fired onChange event ...something like onchange=javascript:vehicletype(this.value)
<select name="test" id="test" onchange="vehicletype()">
          <option value="sedan">Sedan</option>
and hidden fields example:
<input type="text" name="sss" id="sss" style="visibility:hidden" />
Now in the vehicletype() function check for the value passed.Based on that set the visibilty to visible for the required form fields inside the function. Following is a small page to show you all. Just save this as a html page and then try.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>Stretched Background Image</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function vehicletype(type){
    if (type=='sedan'){
    alert(type);
    document.getElementById('sss').style.visibility='visible';
</script>
</head>
<body>
    <div id="page-background">
      <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
        <p>
          <label for="hhh"></label>
          <select name="hhh" id="hhh" onchange="javascript:vehicletype(this.value);">
            <option value="Select">---Select---</option>
            <option value="sedan">sedan</option>
            <option value="coupe">coupe</option>
          </select>
        </p>
        <p>
          <label for="sss"></label>
          <input type="text" name="sss" id="sss" style="visibility:hidden" />
        </p>
      </form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Hope this gives you some idea of what I am tryint to convey.

Filling out form with pre-determined values

I am new to LiveCycle. I want to set up a form where if a person hits a button or check box, it fills in the form with predetermined variables. I want to there to be several different buttons/check boxes which if selected fill out the form with the predetermined values. These values would be different, depending on the check box/button selected. Is this possible?
Just to help understand a little more, I am designing a medical prescription form.
If the practitioner selects 'Option A' I want it to automatically fill out the required fields in the rest of the form with the predetermined values (set by me).
Similarily if the practitioner selected 'Option B', it fills out the form with another set of predetermined values.
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks

After looking at your form, I understand what you were going for. You want several fields prepopulate values when you select either Option A, Option B... and so on. Here is the script I use for the different fields, I would also suggest adding the same script to the initialized event so you can save the state of the form after it has been changed.
From a Drop Down - JavaScript Change event
if(xfa.event.newText == 'Option A'){
optionText.rawValue = "This is option A";
optionText2.rawValue = "This is option A value";
optionText3.rawValue = "This is option A";
optionText4.rawValue = "This is option A";
optionCheckbox.rawValue="0"; //0= unselected 1=selected
optionRadio.rawValue = "Option A";
if(xfa.event.newText == 'Option B'){
optionText.rawValue = "This is option B";
optionText2.rawValue = "This is option B value";
optionText3.rawValue = "This is option B text";
optionText4.rawValue = "This is option B";
optionCheckbox.rawValue="1";
optionRadio.rawValue = "Option B";
From a Radio Box - JavaScript Click event (make sure you define your values)
if(optionRadio.rawValue == 'Option A'){
optionText.rawValue = "This is option A";
optionText2.rawValue = "This is option A value";
optionText3.rawValue = "This is option A";
optionText4.rawValue = "This is option A";
optionCheckbox.rawValue="0";
optionDropdown.rawValue = "Option A";
if(optionRadio.rawValue == 'Option B'){
optionText.rawValue = "This is option B";
optionText2.rawValue = "This is option B value";
optionText3.rawValue = "This is option B text";
optionText4.rawValue = "This is option B";
optionCheckbox.rawValue="1";
optionDropdown.rawValue = "Option B";
From a Button - JavaScript Click event
optionText.rawValue = "This is option A";
optionText2.rawValue = "This is option A value";
optionText3.rawValue = "This is option A";
optionText4.rawValue = "This is option A";
optionCheckbox.rawValue="0";
optionDropdown.rawValue = "Option A";
optionRadio.rawValue= "Option A";
I would attach a sample form, however I can't see where to upload it on this forum. I will email you the form.
Suggestion on your form: Make sure your form fields have unique names in the hierarchy (Shift + F11).

How to create a button on a form that automatically creates a new page or form with pre-filled field

I'm trying to create an advanced workorder for my company. In short, I need to have a summary page that includes pertinent contact and matter information but then have the users have the ability to essentially click a button and have it auto-generate and populate certain information in a new form (or page). In this instance, it's trying to take summary form and then allow it to expand to an additional 5 forms, but not necessarily always have all the unecessary details or modules if not applicable for that job.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank for reply.
The computers are in different locations, but yes it's possible, the users in this enviroment are all local administrator of the machines, and we can distribute the script centrally from the DC automatically
Acrobat use Java, right? I'm not so expert in java, but something about it could not be so difficult to manage.
Do you know some place where i can get some info about JS and acrobat?

Create forms with out being logged into planning

This may appear as a dimb questio. Besides building an xml webform via planning, using an lcm to import the xml, or using the defutilform utility does any know of there is a way to build a web form in excel and import that to planning?
If you have any information please respond.

The only way you can import forms from outside planning are building the formats used for the import tools such as LCM or formdef utility, you cannot build a form in excel and send it to planning as there is no way to save the right xml or txt definition from there for the import tools.
Some users sometimes confuse adhoc forms on a planning or essbase connection with planning forms and therefore think that they have "built a planning form" in excel when setting up adhoc, but this definition only resides in their excel sheet and there is no way to turn this into a fully fledged planning form, they are two different formats of datainput.
However a user with adhoc designer privileges can create adhoc grids and save these definitions to make them available to others. These adhoc grids will reside on the planning server, but they should not be confused with forms as they do not have the full form functionality such as asociated rules, run on save etc.

Create form with inside functions

Hello members,
i want to create a simple invoice form which has the adressline in the head, the positions in the middle and a footer with summary lines.
Like an invoice.
I have search several days in all forums, but i haven't found a simple explanation, how to use the printing options with printer friendly pages.
Could anyone help for this ?
I have found to create a report, which can marked with "printing = Yes" and then several tabs opens to modify the paper width and so on.
But how to place some information in the header ?
How to place some information in the footer
How will i get a page break, when the positions are more than one page ?
How it is working with these kind of simple printing forms ?
Thank you for help with a simple "how to" document !
Regards
Frank

To do an invoice you will either need to:
1) Work with XSL-FO to format your output so that FOP/Cocoon can format your output properly
2) Get a copy of BI Publisher, take one of the existing templates and modify the layout to your requirements.
3) Get a copy of pl/pdf, and hand generate your layout..
My suggestion here is BI Publisher, since it has a Word based template editor you can use.. However it is rather pricey.. Less you are hosting with a 3rd part hosting company, I know of one that charges $50 a month to host apex apps and offers BI Publisher..
Thank you,

Create forms with objects embedded (photos, docs, etc)

Hi gurus,
I am designing a solution for a client on EH&S, and I am searching for some ideas.
The solution have 3 stages:
1- Adding an User Exit at "Acc/Inc Log Entry" (Trx. CBIH82) to upload all the docs related to a specific Entry Log such as PDF, photos, documents, Medical documents, etc.
2- Create a form for Log Entries that can have all the info of one entry, with all the extra docs uploaded at stage 1 attached, and that can be send by email to the persons responsables to take care of the entries.
For example, I am thinking that implementing a new tab on the transaction to upload all the documents by type will be easy, but don't know where this files will be stored and how to obtain them.
For the form, I think that I can use Smartformt, and then convert it to PDF, but don't know how to retrieve all the file uploaded at stage 1, and how can I attach them.
If someone did some solution like this, no matter is no relative to EH&S will also be a great help.
Thanks in advanced!

See

The problem is Parental Control's Internet content filter. It blocks all https requests:
https note: For websites that use SSL encryption (the URL will usually begin with https), the Internet content filter is unable to examine the encrypted content of the page. For this reason, encrypted websites must be explicitly allowed using the Always Allow list. Encrypted websites that are not on the Always Allow list will be blocked by the automatic Internet content filter.
You need to set it up explicitly to allow it, as described in the Apple KB doc I quoted.

Need Help creating form with checkboxes

I am using Acrobat Standar 9, and I am trying to create a form that has a bunch of checkboxes on it. First off, the PDF that I am workin with (before I try to input form stuff) is a check list that has spots for marking (if it was printed out). Acrobat will recognize all of those places as spots for a form tool, but it always inserts textboxes. I want it to insert check boxes. So far all I can do is delete all of the textboxes that were inserted and manually, one by one, insert check boxes in all of the locations.
Is there a way to make the wizard input checkboxes instead of text boxes? If not with the wizard, is there any way to do that? (I am not familier with programming languages.. fyi)
thanks

Thanks for getting back to me. What I have is a pricing page. The feedback form is so we can see who views or is interested in services. We want only people who fill out this form to be able to view it. I have created simple contact forms that are sent to an email and directed to another page. The problem I am having is trying to figure a way to where hopefully if the same person comes back they won't have to fill out the form again. I know if they fill out the form and create a user name/login it could be a possible fix but I am trying to make it simple. I am just starting to learn PHP/XML (which I have copied from another sources) and haven't written my own. Maybe creating a cookie that is checked once the page is loaded? I have no idea how to do that either though... I am a front end "designer" and a lot of this is greek to me.

Is it possible to populate readOnly text box(es) on a FIM 2010 R2 RCDC User create form with the details of the logged in user?

Hello
I am curious if this can be done. I guess its a Person object I need to fetch, but how can I refer to it?
What would the XPath look like?
*HH

Thankyou for the response. Yes indeed those environment variables are documented, but how to use them is not.
Very Hard to use. I just wanted to show the Requester information on the User Create and Edit rcdc screens.
I could only get the UocListView control to work though, but it is sufficient, like so:
        <my:Control my:Name="CurrentUser" my:TypeName="UocListView" my:ExpandArea="true" my:Caption="Requester">
       <my:Properties>
           <my:Property my:Name="ColumnsToDisplay" my:Value="DisplayName,Email,OrganizationalUnit" />
           <my:Property my:Name="EmptyResultText" my:Value="" />
           <my:Property my:Name="PageSize" my:Value="1"/>
           <my:Property my:Name="ShowTitleBar" my:Value="true" />
           <my:Property my:Name="ShowActionBar" my:Value="false" />
           <my:Property my:Name="ShowPreview" my:Value="false" />
           <my:Property my:Name="ShowSearchControl" my:Value="false" />
           <my:Property my:Name="EnableSelection" my:Value="false" />
           <my:Property my:Name="SingleSelection" my:Value="false" />
           <my:Property my:Name="ItemClickBehavior" my:Value="Server" />
           <my:Property my:Name="ListFilter" my:Value="/Person[ObjectID='%LoginID%']" />
       </my:Properties>
       </my:Control>
This gives me a nice 3 column display of the current Requester's Name, Email and Unit.
