Field visibility depending profile

Hello,
Is it possible to hide fields depending the user profile?
On a Service Request, we would like to have a field which is visible and editable by the manager, but hidden on the agent screen.
As we will implement 2 different profiles for these 2 kind of users, if I create 2 different Service Request page layout, one for each profile, will it work?
I have created a weblink which copy my SR (not all fields). Will it copy my hidden field?
Thanks in advance

Ok, thanks!
I know R17 will provide the Copy function, but here, it is a kind of selective copy function. I do not copy all field... But the hiden field should be copied.
If I integer the field in the URL, will it be copied? even if the agent do not see it on its screen?
Thanks in advance,
Laurent

How to update information fields of a profile in Oracle UCM using RIDC

Hi All
I have a requirement in which i need to modify/update the metadata/information fields of a Profile in Oracle Webcenter Content(UCM).
I found out that this can be achieved using RIDC api, but i have little knowledge about the same.
If someone could suggest about how to retrieve and update the fields in UCM using RIDC or some other approach would be of great help.
It's really important.Kindly help
Regards

Hi Jiri
Even i have thought about the same as one of the approaches, but i was a bit apprehensive about using this one.
I have few stupid queries regarding this:
1)Will it expose the production database(connection details) to the environment?Yes. If you don't like the idea of giving connection to the database to a "third-party" program, you could go from the other side - create a UCM component (some kind of scheduled job), which will be a part of UCM, but do the same. It will be a bit more complicated, but might be considered more secure.
2)Will it have any performance impact?I don't think there will be much impact - most of time, tables will be accessed in read-only mode (pulling the data out), so except few per cent of CPU and some memory it should not consume anything. Besides, you should be able to schedule upload to "quiet hours", if there are some
3)Will it still be an integration with the UCM?Well, yes. It will be integration at the database level. But honestly, as long as it works, do you care how is it called?

PDF created in InDesign -Field Visibility Issues in LifeCycle

I am working with pdf versions of brochures created in InDesign/Illustrator etc. I am adding two simple fields to these forms and in the past it has worked easily. I have an image field where a logo can be uploaded and a text field next to it. Behind the image field I have always used another text field visible on screen but not in print That simply states, "place logo here". This A.M. I had an update from Adobe that installed and now if I designate the field as visible on screen, it prints. This is the simplest of forms and I am wondering if I may have inadvertantly changed a setting somewhere along the way that has deactivated this option.

Yes, I have added cropmarks and page info to the pdf.
I checked the separations in Acrobat Pro with a friend. Both Pantone colors and CMYK show up. When I disable the CMYK, nothing of the design disappears (cropmarks and page info don't disappear either, they seem to be in both Pantone and CMYK).
I saved a new pdf, without crops and page info, and CMYK still shows up in the separations.
I'll contact the printer tomorrow, I'm pretty sure he should be able to use the file I sent him.
Thank you all for your help!

Filling of form fields changing depending on how PDF is opened, why?

First of all, here is the error message that I am trying to deal with:
"This document contained certain rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader. The document has been changed since it was created and these rights are no longer valid. Please contact the author for the original version of this document."
Software & PDF details:
Adobe Reader 8. V8.1.1
PDF Producer: Toolkit http://activepdf.com
PDF Version: 1.5 (Acrobat 6.x)
The PDF is set to with:
Filling of form fields: Allowed
After investigation I have found that:
If I open the file by double clicking, I am able to fill in the fields and save without any problems.
If the file is opened as a result of a software process trigger (which is what I actually want to achieve), the "Filling of form fields" is changed to "Not Allowed". This then results in the error message described above.
Also, I have another PDF with exactly the same settings as above (PDF version and Producer etc), which successfully generates as a result of the software process trigger. This file that works does not change the "Filling of Form Fields" value.
So, my question is, why would a particular PDF change the "filling of form fields" value depending on how it is opened?

Ok, that is a useful result, telling us a lot.
Some background you need. Reader 8 CANNOT SAVE FILLED IN FILES normally. To be able to save them they must be specially prepared. This is called "Reader enabling". (In your original message, "rights to enable special features in Adobe Reader") To prepare a file Acrobat can be used, or a server product which has had many names but is currently LiveCycle Reader Extensions. If this is not done, the form cannot be saved, whatever its origin.
Now, a file may not be changed/damaged in even the slightest way after this preparation. This will produce the message seen.
So, your test seems to show
- the original file is OK, undamaged
- by the time the file is delivered from the database to the user it has been damaged/changed.
So, you now have a path to pursue through the software.
(To clarify: this only applies if you used Windows Explorer to save the file, NOT any save function in Reader; if you saved in Reader please repeat the test with Windows Explorer).

Ucm: displaying some fields on a profile based on a workflow step

Hi,
Is it possible to hide/display some standard/custom metadata fields on a profile based on a workflow step/
e.g. I am having a workflow with 3 steps
1. manager step
2. specialist step
3. reviewer step
On the 3 step, a reviewer can decide calling an adhoc workflow if he updates some custom metadata fields(adhoc rev1, adhoc rev2). My requirement: Is it possible to show the custom metadata fields only to reviewer on updating the content item. It should not get displayed while checkin the content item or any other step users update the content item.
thanks

I had a similar question some times ago - see this thread: Value of dpAction
Yes, you can do it, but you will have to define rule activation conditions properly - using dpAction and dWfCurrentStepID.

Makeing subforms visible depending on what is selected from the dropdown

Good day all;
Looks like I am batting “0” today. For some reason I am not able to get a number of things to work today… Maybe I should just write this day off as a loss..;>))
Any way; I am trying, without success to get sub forms to become visible depending on what is selected from a dropdown. I have tried using “switch” (see below) but I end up getting the famous “Syntax” error.
I have also tried an “if” (see below) statement, but that did not seem to work either.
What I would like to have happen is when a user selects 1 of 2 choices 1 of 2 sub forms becomes visible.
As well, if the user has initially selected the wrong dropdown and they select now select the correct one, I would like the incorrect sub form to become invisible again.
I would appreciate any help
switch (this.rawValue)
    case "2":
    staffing_inter.presence = "visible";
else
staffing_inter.presence = "hidden";
    break;
IF statement
if(this.rawValue = 2 )
    staffing_inter.presence = "visible"
else{
staffing_inter.presence = "hidden";

Thank you Jono and Niall;
I was looking through the forum and found a post by Niall that appears to be working; I was wondering if this should be used or the one that Jono has posted...
staffing_inter.presence = "hidden";
staffing_inter.preAsence = "hidden";
// Then show the appropriate one
if (this.rawValue == "2") {
staffing_inter.presence = "visible";
else if (this.rawValue == "3") {
    staffing_exter.presence = "visible";

SRM PO Header - field visibility change

Hi All,
I am on SRM 7.0 How can I change the visibility of fields on the PO Header. Please help

First you need to check if it can be done from WD configuration. for this right click on the screen, get the configuration name, WD component name and change. Here you can set the fields visibility,
If this is not satisfying your need then you need to do a post implementation on WD component for WDMODIFYVIEW.

Use Department field from user profile

Hi,
When user uploads a document - "Created By" takes its name automatically.
We need the data of the department of the user also.
I see that i can change the column to display any field from user profile in the "Created By" (user name / email/ department...).
What should i do in order to use more than one field? (it's like set 2 "created by" columns to each doc - one to get the user name and one for department).
It is for use department values in search.
keren tsur

Hi keren,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to get user name and department for the user who created the document.
I recommend to get the department using the default Created By column and use workflow to get the user name from Created By column in a new column.
Create a workflow associated with the library and set the workflow to start when an item is created.
Best regards.
Thanks

Hello ,
Solution :
I could solve the problem . In CAC2 , I have selected screens thru INFLUENCINg tab and selected the profile. But I have not set chnages in global template . Means when u go in CAC2 , there is a global template for data entry profile , This needs to be chnages first and then chnages in Influencing tab .
Now my second questions:
My client needs sowm shuffle in data entry area for Eg: Work center should follow behind wage type. I have request them that create the changes and then save under new Varient . My client is not happy with VARIANT creation in CAT2 nor making it default as global.They dont wanna create any Varient but they wannt to fix the feild selection as they desired under BASIC SETTINGS.
Can we do this ? Can we chnage the feild selection under BASIC SETTINGS.?? or is theer any configuration to assign the columns to our desired way in WORK LIST or DATA ENTRY AREA??
Please advice.

Making presentation column fields visible / editable at runtime

Hi,
I am new to presenation.
In my presentation, suppose if i have 3 fields
First one is combo.. and other two are text fields.. Depending upon the value selected, i like to enable second text box ,disable thrid one..and vice-versa..
How can i enable / disable or change the editable property at runtime
Can any one help on this. Thanks in Advance

Hi,
There are three steps to doing this.
1. You first have to find out the names of the fields on the presentation you want to make visible or invisible. To do this, go into the BPM Object Presentation -> click the field -> look at the Properties tab on the right and see the name in the "Name" field. It is normally "text1" or "text2", etc.. This is the field name you will want to use in the logic in the next step. A very common mistake is to use the attributes name (e.g. "customerName") in the logic in the next step. This will not work - you must always use the field's name instead.
2. Create a method in the BPM Object with logic similar to this:
// see which value was picked from the combo dropdown
if valueInCombo = "A" then
    // make the attribute associated with the "text1" field on the presentation
    //   not visible
    setVisible this
      using componentId = “text1”,   // the field name
          visible = false,       // “true” to make visible
          collapsed = true     // removes the space vacated
    // make the attribute associated with the "text2" field on the presentation
    //     visible
    setVisible this
      using componentId = “text2”,   // the field name
          visible = true,
          collapsed = false
elseif valueInCombo = "B" then
    // make the attribute associated with the "text1" field on the presentation
    //    visible
    setVisible this
      using componentId = “text1”,   // the field name
          visible = true,
          collapsed = false
    // make the attribute associated with the "text2" field on the presentation
    //     not visible
    setVisible this
      using componentId = “text2”,   // the field name
          visible = false,
          collapsed = true
end 3. On the presentation, click the combo dropdown. Once again look at the Properties tab on the right and click the "On Change Invoke" property. Once clicked, pick the method you just created in the above step.
Hope this helps,
Dan

How to control field status depending on input parameter to screen?

Hi,
I'm sure I met the solution somewhere, but can't find it. Here is the situation:
I have Screen sequence - my scr.100 calls 110 (detailed screen). I would like to achieve creation or modification of a detailed item depending on an input parameter (ok_code), which I know how, but whould also like to set some fields for input/output or for output only depending on the same parameter.
Could anyone help me with piece of code or describing what should I do to achieve this (in an example of 1 field)?
Possible variant is to create another screen - for modify mode, which is not so elegant for me, and yes, I know how to do that.
Many thanks in advance.
Ivaylo Mutafchiev

Try this.....
LOOP at Screen.
if screen-name = 'YOURFIELD'.
screen-input = '0'.
modify screen.
endif.
endloop.
