F4 Help based on a previous selection

Hello,
Could someone let me know if it is possible to set the F4 help based on another variable selection in WAD?
To be more clear:
I have two variables.
Based on the value the user selects for the first variable, the F4 help for the second variable is to be populated.
Note: Both the variables are created on two different Info Objects.
Thanks in advance.
Kirit

Hello Suvarna,
Thank you for your reply.
But I doubt that if I do the way you suggested, it would be the variable that would be called instead of the F4 help of that particular variable.
The variable I have in my selection screen is having a F4 help by default . I need to restrict the values in that F4 help based on the value selected by the user for the first variable.
I will have to restrict the default F4 help and then assign my custom F4 help to that variable.
Regards,
Kirit

OTL:Generate Timecard Tasks based on the Period selected on the Period LOV

Hi,
I want to generate the Tasks' LOV Based on what is selected on the Period LOV. It must only list Tasks that are valid/active for the select Period LOV.
I want to integrate the "validation/condition" in the script to generate the PA_ONLINE_TASKS_V view.
Best regards,
Ernest

Ernest,
OTL renders the LOV through its own rendering mechanism and is a wrapper over OAF LOV component. Hence you won't be able to treat it like a normal LOV as it gets rendered at runtime based on layout ldt file.
But you sure can have the LOV based on a previously selected item inside Timecard matrix. Considering your case, the Period list is not inside the matrix, hence your LOV cann't refer to that. But instead if you are willing to use a package choice list, you can get access to the Start date of the selected time period through bind parameter TIMECARD_BIND_START_DATE. Hence my suggestion would be to use a package choice list and use your VO in the function used for choice list.
Instead if you want to use LOV only, make a hidden package choice list where you default it to the Timecard start date through a custom function attached to it and so you
have a field with start date inside the matrix.
Let me know, how it goes.

F4 Help based on previous F4 value

Hi,
I have two tables
empmaster
employee number ( Primary key )
emp name
empdetails
employee number ( foreign key)
Team_of_employee
date
hours_worked
There are 3 teams
Each team have around 5 employees
Screen Program
I have following details to enter data daily
Team :
Emp id :
date :
Hours_worked :
Hours worked will vary each day ....
It will be saved to the base table
My question
1.Search help should be enabled for team and employee in screeen
2.If i select team search help, the team description should be there
3.Then based on the team selection, the employees of that team only
should be showed if i click search help for employee
Then i will enter date and hours , that is not an issue
How to achieve this
tried to put values on domain value range for f4 help.. is this
ok?
how to put employee f4 based on the team f4?

Hi,
Check the below thread
Re: Search help with 3 return values
You can create a View on the 2 tables and use the above method.
or
you can use DYNP_VALEUS_READ fm and get the Expected Output by providing the F4 Help programatically
for more info take Where used List on the above FM
Hope this serves your purpose.

Creating select option with the search help based on other select option

Hi,
I have displayed a selection screen with two select options S1 and S2.
My requirement is that the values in the search help of S2 should get filled based on the values selected in S1.
Note: User has option to select multiple values in S1.
Does anybody know how to implement this?
Thanks,
Feroz

I'm getting fairly tired of seeing this completely incorrect information on this forum. As stated before and already found out by this poster, you can map input and output values between multiple data dictionary search helps. You do NOT have to resort to using OVS for this option.

Select List in Manual Tabular Form based on a previous column

I have a manual tabular form that have several columns One column (vendor) is a select list that should be based on a previous column (Vendor Type - Internal/External). So if the user selects Internal for Vendor Type, the Vendor column's select list should only contain those vendors with type of Internal. By the way, it also uses APEX collections.

Plot a chart dynamically based on the values selected

Hi All,
I have some requirement like this i want to plot a chart . The chart should change dynamically based on target_name and date. What type of UI should I use ? I tried using multiselect or shuttle for choosing the target_name and date picker tool for date once i choose all this the chart should appear. Can I have a custom button called submit so once all the values are entered it plots chart ? Please help me out with our ideas.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Using the dependent value sets you can govern the values which can be selected based on a specific value selected in a particular segment. Example if Country name is selected in segment 1 then specific states names as per the country selected can be displayed in segment 2.
As per the requirement described you want to enable different fields based on the value selected in segment1, currently there is no standard mechanism available to enable/disable fields based on a value and you will have to do an extension/customization to meet this requirement.
Thanks,
Sanjay

Performing Calculation based on drop down selection

I need help with simple calculation. Im building an estimate form, and have the fields:
"Total" (manually entered total amount)
"GrandTotal" (automatically calculates Total*1.07 to add 7% NJ sales tax)
Next I have 3 drop down boxes with payment options, and then text fields to receive $$ amounts based on drop-down selection:
"1st Payment Option" (options: 50% down, 100% paid in full, custom entry)
"2nd Payment Option" (options: 50% at completion, 25% in 14 days, custom entry)
"3rd payment Option" (options: 25% completion, custom entry)
For whichever options are selected in the drop-downs, i'd like the text fields to auto-fill.
(Text fields are titled "1st Payment", "2nd Payment", "Final Payment".
So how do I take the value from "GrandTotal" and get it to automatically be calculated by 50%, 25% or whatever and be filled into separate text fields?

It can be done with proper form design. You can use the any of the 3 calculation options but some may require some extra form fields and you can specify a numeric value to a drop down option that is different from the displayed text.

Error message: "the previously selected audio interface is not available"

HELP?!?!?!?!?
I'm stuck, and I can't go forward. Here's my issue:
I've bought a Focusrite Saffire LE, a simple firewire audio interface, for use with my Logic Express 7 (with all the latest updates). I run the setup assistant and select my saffire as the audio interface to use, and then when logic runs I get the message "the previously selected audio interface is not available" and it defaults to my Macbook Pro's internal microphone and speakers.
Just for sanity I've tested the audio interface with garageband and it's fine. My other audio apps aso run fine using the saffire as the audio interface. The setup assistant for logic has no problem finding the saffire, so why does it get rejected as soon as logic starts?!?!?
Please - this is driving me crazy.

I asked Focusrite for some help, and they said it should work (which I knew) and made some suggestions. Here's their email:
"Saffire LE should work fine in Logic Express.
Try resetting your logic preferences. Go to Logic > preferences > initialise all except key commands.
Do you still have the same problem?
Do you have any other firewire devices attached?
Have you had any other interfaces installed in the past?"
All good suggestions, but so far no luck.
Has someone else got the same config as me? (15" Macbook Pro and focusrite saffire le)?

How to populate a table based on a row selection from another table.

Hi, i just started to use ADF BC and Faces. Could some one help me or point me a solution on the following scenario .
By using a search component , a table is being displayed as a search result. If i select any row in the resulted table , i need to populate an another table at the bottom of the same page from another view. These two tables are related by primary key . May i know how to populate a table based on a row selection from another table. Thanks
ganesh

I understand your requirement and the tutorial doesn't talk about Association between the views so that you can create a Master-Detail or in DB parlance, a Parent-Child relationship.
I will assume that we are dealing with two entities here: Department and Employees where a particular Department has many Employees and hence a Parent-Child relationship.
Firstly, you need to create an Association between the two Entities - Department and Employees. You can do that by right clicking on the model's entity and then associating the two entities with the appropriate key say, DepartmentId.
Once you have done that, you need to link the two entities in the View section with this Association that you created. Then go to AppModule and make sure that in the Available View Objects: 'EmployeesView' appears under 'DepartmentView' as "EmployeesView via <link you created>". Shuttle the 'DepartmentView' to the right, Data Model and then shuttle
"EmployeesView via <link you created>" to the right, Data Model under 'DepartmentView'.
This will then be reflected in your Data Controls. After that, you simply would have to drag this View into your page as a Master-Detail form...and then when you run this page, any row selected in the Master table, would display the data in the Detail table.
Also, refer to this link: [Master-Detail|http://baigsorcl.blogspot.com/2010/03/creating-master-detail-form-in-adf.html]
Hope this helps.

Calculating based on a previous value when initial column values differ from the rest

Let me preface this by saying I am new to the BO world. I'm trying to build a report/chart that tracks incoming loads. The first supply on hand value is pulled from the database and each successive supply on hand is based on the previous row's values.
In the supply arriving column below, the iniital value differs from the rest using the formula:
=If [Row Number]=1 Then [First Supply Arriving] Else [Supply Arriving]
The supply on hand uses the same idea, but is where I'm running into problems. The first column value should be [Supply On Hand], easy enough. Each successive column value needs to follow this equation:
Previous([Supply On Hand] (this won't always be [Supply On Hand] though, only for the second row essentially - problem 1) + Previous([Supply Arriving] (same as problem 1, where this is first supple arriving for the second row and then supply arriving moving forward) - [Usage Rate]
If someone could help me in getting the calculation to pull the previous values correctly without making a ton of variables, I'd greatly appreciate it. We just upgraded to 4.1

Yes, the supply on hand and the supply arriving from the previous row need added together. The usage rate, which is a constant is then subtracted from that. The result is the on hand total for the next day.
For example:
Date
On Hand
Arriving
Usage Rate
9/9/2014
100,000
250,000
100,000
9/10/2014
250,000
1,000,000
100,000
9/11/2014
1,150,000

Previously selected value of a prompt pertaining

Hi All,
Had a issue with the dashboard.
There are two prompts p1 & p2. p2's value are updated based on p1's value.
Issue being face is that when p2's go button is clicked and next time p1's value is changed and clicked go,the previously selected p2's value is still pertaining. How can i get rid of the previously selected value.
Thanks.

Hi svee,
Thanks for the reply.
I need the two go buttons,since the two prompts are in different sections and p2 is driven by the presentation variable of p1.
Also in p2 user can change the value to check for the results.
Thanks

Databound Combobox - First item changes to previous selection when clicked again

Hi All,
I have just written my first vb.net app using VS2014 and everything is working perfectly except the same weird issue is happening on 2 comboboxs I have...
Basically I have a Vehicles combobox and a Departments combobox (both created by dragging the field from Data Sources after setting it to combobox onto the form creating a databinding). When the user has made their selection they hit a show operations button
which then does things depending on the selections made.
The tables come from a SQL Server.
The sql statement for my Departments TableAdapter is:
SELECT Code, Department
FROM Departments
ORDER BY DisplayOrder
Setup of combobox:
Use Data Bound Items is ticked
Data Source = DepartmentsBindingSource
Display Member = Department
Value Member = Code
Selected Value = (none)
This image show a correct list for the department CB (bored of typing combobox) when it is first clicked.
I select Finishing, then.
This image shows what I get on the second click (which can literally be straight after as though the wrong selection was made the first time - I say this as clicking my Show Operations button has no effect on the behaviour).
Basically the top item changes to be whatever the previous selection was. If I had chosen Construction it would have read Construction, Construction, Finishing.
The same thing is happening on the Vehicles CB - I wont explain that as it is the same as above.
I have been googling this for several hours but cannot find any other example of this issue. I may have done something stupid but hopefully not.
If you could please shed some light on why these combobox's are behaving this way I would be VERY grateful.
I am trying to learn as much as I can so if someone could actually explain why this is doing this rather than just a one line fix (which would be better than no fix at all) it would be appreciated.
Note: I have no code associated with event / index changes on either box in any way. I reference their current values once I have click my Show Operations button.
Anyway I hope the above is nice and clear for you.
Thanks again,
Paul.

Dynamic row selection based on Page member selection in Planning web-form

Hello experts
I have requirement where, user dont want 10 webforms to enter 2 accounts line for various sparse members. Below is the dimension detail and web-form current design
Account - Dense
Period - Dense
Year - Sparse
Scenario - Sparse
Version - Sparse
Entity - Sparse
Product - Sparse (600 level 0 members)
Product dim has family1 as parent and 40 level 0 mem like that there are 10 family level 1 members, now to enter account member (only 2 member) for 6 years projection ( it means 12 periods and 6 years in column ) , i can build 10 web-forms with one web-form has one family level-0 mem in rows,
however my question, is how can i achieve this in one web-form, instead of 10 web-forms for 400 products ?
your help is greatly appreciated.
Edited by: 859874 on Jul 18, 2012 8:58 PM

Im not sure there is any simple way to get dynamic row selection based on what is selected in the page.
If I were designing the form based on what you have stated, I would probably stick both Account and Year in the page, and the 400 products in rows. This would require the user to select the different combinations of Year / Account, but would mean only 12 columns (instead of 72).
Alternatively you could stick Account in rows too - meaning 800 rows, but less combinations to select in Page....all depends what is deemed acceptable to the user.
Probably other approaches that may be better than above (put Product in the Page for fun!!)
Thanks

Grey out previously selected!

Hi all,
I have five images on a slide, each one linked to another slide that the user has to carryout intercations; then when they are done they click and go back to the main slide with the five images, this time I want them to see the previously selected image greyed out. Can any one help or provide a work around.

Hi Lilybri,
I really could do with having a play with your template to see how I can apply some of it to my project. Would you be able to send it to me? if so how?
Do I provide you with my email here or any other means?
Your help will be appreciated as I have one more week to turn the rest of the project around.
Kind regards.
