Filtering on another field

Post Author: TurboBeagle
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
I'm in bo xi2 and I would like to filter on another field, such as &#91;field1&#93; <> &#91;field2&#93; or &#91;field1&#93; > &#91;field2&#93;.   Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi - you can use the "object" option within the filter to select another Universe object rather than constant value or prompt.

  • Create a filtered list based on the selection in another field? URGENT HELP NEEDED

    Hi,
    Hoping someone can help me with something I am working on. i am fairly new to creating forms in acrobat (know how to us the full range of very basic features) but I have now found myself needing some help.
    i am producing an order form, and I need to create a filtered dropdown list based on the value selected in another field.
    basically, when a user select the company chooses their Business Name from a dropdown list, I would like their deliver address to self populate. In some cases there may be a few options for the company delivery address so in these cases the second option would be a dropdown list of the options available for that company.
    i have attached a screenshot, it is the Fields "Business Name" and "delivery Address/Delivery Postcode" that i would like to be linked so that the option in Business Name filtered the options in delivery Address
    Hope someone out there has the time to help me with this, i am using Acrobat Pro DC
    many Thanks
    Lee

    This will require a complex, custom-made script. The basic functionality of populating another field based on a selection in a drop-down is not that complicated, but if you want it to also populate other drop-downs (and then presumably use them to populate other fields), it will require a more complex solutions.

  • Is there a way to create forms where certain fields would become required only if there was a certain choice made in a dropdown box in another field?

    Is there a way to create forms where certain fields would become required only if there was a certain choice made in a dropdown box in another field?

    Yes but you will have to create some custom JavaScript to do this.
    Also you should be aware that the "Required" property is only processed when the form is submitted to a scripted web page or "mailto:" process.

  • Field with a default value from another field

    I need to populate a field as the default value from another field that the user inputs. I've tried the scripting that I found from the below Topic in the Archived Forums, but I'm not able to make it work. I've tried numerous variations and still to no avail. I tried to make the scripting work in Acrobat 6 and then decided that maybe I needed to upgrade, so I'm now trying it in Acrobat 8 with no results. Can anyone help?

    Acrobat 5 - field with default value of another field
    Ben PF - 03:31am Mar 23, 2007 Pacific
    How can I have a field date2 which has the default value of field date1, but which can be edited by the user if necessary without changing the value of date1.
    I've tried, but I just can't figure it out!
    Any help much appreciated.

    This, or some variation of this, should work:
    if(this.getField("date2").value == ""{
    this.getField("date2").value = this.getField("date1).value;

    Thanks very much.
    I put it in at document level to start, but it didn't run the script automatically when date1 was first filled in, so I have put it in as a mouse exit action in date1 and it works a treat.
    Thanks for your help.
    Ben

    Okay forget what I posted above and lets start over. Go to your first field and under Properties -> Actions Tab -> Select Trigger -> On Blur Run A JavaScript.
    Put this:
    this.getField("myField2").value = event.target.value;
    Make sure that you replace ("myField2") with the actual name of your second field. I just tested this and it works for Acrobat version 6.
    I haven't been doing as much javascripting as I used to, so sometimes I too make some basic mistakes.

  • Change value in a field and reflect value of another field

    Hi all,
    I have a situation here where in the Single Customer View, under the Completed Task. When I changed the value of a field name called Status to "Completed" in the Edit screen and I save it, another field that is in the same screen called "Completed Date" will auto populate the current date as value. may I know how do I achieve this?
    Thanks and appreciate for help
    Regards,
    Anson

    Hi !
    You've got to create a workflow rule on Activity with the event trigger Before modified record saved.
    The condition will be like this :
    *&#91;&lt;Status&gt;&#93;=LookupValue("EVENT_STATUS", "Completed") AND &#91;&lt;Status&gt;&#93;&lt;&gt;PRE('&lt;Status&gt;')*
    Then the action of this rule will update the field *"Completed Date"* with the value Today().
    But you don't have to do it for the completed date field, because it's already filled automatically when you change the status to completed.
    Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

  • Using Javascript to show/unshow a field based on input in another field

    I want to display/not display a field in a JSP depending on what is selected in another field.
    I am using <div></div> element currently which is displayed/not displayed using a Javascript invoked by the first field.
    the problem with div is that I have to put it inside a <tr><td> otherwise it doesn't work. This makes the field look aloof from the rest of the page, and is also not aligned with the other fields.
    Is there anything other than <div> that can be used? or is there a way to correct the look of the field inside a div?
    Thanks

    You shouldn't have to put it inside a <tr><td> to get it to work. I've done what you are trying to do with <span></span> and it worked fine. I haven't tried it with a <div> but I can't image why that wouldn't work. Maybe you could post your code.

  • Need help - script to continue text in another field if necessary

    Wish I could attach my form but it's not available. I am using Adobe Acrobat 9.0. I have a form with two text fields for "Other" information that needs to be shared. If the user types in more characters than the box holds the overflow text doesn't print. These are court documents and all the text has to print somehow. I am trying to figure out a work around for this and wondered if a script can be written to put the extra text from each "Other" field into another field that would open on a new page at the end of the document if necessary. I want to avoid having extra empty pages however so if they can be added ONLY if the text needs to overflow. I hope I explained this okay, like I said I wanted to upload the form but can't. If someone can help me with this I would really appreciate it.

    Yes, it is possible - I've already indirectly provided you with the code for that via the link in my post. Just remember to save it to your desktop:
    http://www.adirect.dk/adobeforum/commentfields.pdf
    As an alternative you could remove the limited characters, set the field to multiline and make a script that set the textsize to auto if the user fills the field with text. When textsize is set to auto, the text will keep on shrinking as user types more text.

  • Fill in fields based on response in another field.

    Is there a way to use one field to automatically fill in another field?  For example, I have two fields (Project Name & Project Address).  Project Name is a pull down menu.  Can I have Project Address automatically fill in based on their choice of Project Name?
    Thanks,

  • Numeric format based on data in another field

    I am trying to set up a form where the numeric format of one field is based on units of measure in another field. The fields are: units1 and iq1. What I want to do is have the iq1 field format for percent with two decimal places when units1 is  LS or ls or L.S. or l.s. otherwise the field should be formatted for a number with the format nnn,nnn,nnn.nn. Any help for this newbie is appreciated.

    I think this is what you are looking for:
    Make sure that you select "Commit selected value immediately" in the options tab of the drop down menu.
    //Place this script in the custom validation script of the drop down menu
    //Create a text field caleld Text2
    var MySelection = event.value;
    switch (MySelection) {
    case "Accountability":
        this.getField("Text2").value = "Accepts personal responsibility for the quality and timeliness of work. Can be relied upon to achieve results with little need for supervision. ";   
    break;
      case "Compliance":
        this.getField("Text2").value = "Complies with policies, procedures, workflows and instructions.";
        break;
    I hope this helps.

  • Changing a field based on another field

    hi one and all
    i am looking for a way to change a field based on another field. if i have item 2 and item 8 on the page and item 8 needs to be required based on item 2 based on a requirement, how would this be done.
    ex if item 2 has a PO inputed, when it is moved off the field, item 8 should be changed from required false to required true. i have tried in both the process request and process form request with no luck
    any suggestions.
    thanks

    hello again
    after your input and after reviewing the tutorial ( which i accomplished based on data from a table but not a field ) , i did the following and have been fighting it for a day. am i doing this correctly
    on the itemid OrgRptCode1 i changed the action type to firePartialAction and the event is name o1
    then i added this code to see if the action would fire
    if (pageContext.getParameter("OrgRptCode1") !=null) // either line will be commented out
    if (pageContext.getParameter("o1") !=null) // either line will be commented out
    System.out.println("Field is not empty");
    else
    System.out.println("Field is empty");
    am i missing a step . also
    when i enter the page i get Field is empty. when i enter the field and tab off i get the error page w/ this msg

  • Field Populates based on Selection in Another Field

    Hi everyone,
    I have created a new position description template using a pdf form. In this form I have various fields. I would like to populate one field based on what I have selected in another field. For example, I have a field called competency. In this field I can select and choose a competency. If I select "Accountability" I would like the description field to say " Accepts personal responsibility for the quality and timeliness of work. Can be relied upon to achieve results with little need for supervision. " alternatively if I select "Compliance" I would like the description field to say "Complies with policies, procedures, workflows and instructions." Can anyone assist me with script or is there another way of making this happen.
    Thanks in advance

    I think this is what you are looking for:
    Make sure that you select "Commit selected value immediately" in the options tab of the drop down menu.
    //Place this script in the custom validation script of the drop down menu
    //Create a text field caleld Text2
    var MySelection = event.value;
    switch (MySelection) {
    case "Accountability":
        this.getField("Text2").value = "Accepts personal responsibility for the quality and timeliness of work. Can be relied upon to achieve results with little need for supervision. ";   
    break;
      case "Compliance":
        this.getField("Text2").value = "Complies with policies, procedures, workflows and instructions.";
        break;
    I hope this helps.

  • Show / hide field based on text in another field

    Hi,
    I'm trying to make one of my fields reactive to what is the text generated in another field.
    At the moment I have this under calculate using custom javascript:
    var Mask = this.getField("Course").value;
    if(Mask == 'Swimming') this.getField("Code").display = display.visible;
    else this.getField("Code").display = display.hidden;
    Whereas Course is the field that is changing and Code is the one that will show/hide based on content of Course.
    Any help?

    Hi Everyone,
    After doing trials with simple calculations it still wasn't working and so I've figured out what the problem is - the document was being exported but with the data being pre-populated from an SQL database in which during the export it all happens at once, not a chain effect so when the export happens it was filling "Code" before "Course" had any info in it...
    The fix was basically having to create a different field in the SQL source itself for an independent field on the pdf form.

  • Table Control: make a field editable or not based on another field value

    HI All,
    How to make a column field input enabled or disabled based on another field value in a Table Control.
    Here's the scenario:
    I have a table control with two columns, KTOKK and LIFNR. Now for certain KTOKK, the LIFNR field should be editable and for certain KTOKK it should not be editable.
    Eg.,  KTOKK = 0001 =>  LIFNR field is not editable.
            KTOKK = ZKTO => LIFNR field is editable.
    But these fields are in a table control.
    Please advice.
    Thanks in advance,
    RK.
