FlexField Validation based on Form Status

Hi ,
Background :
I have a Valueset attahced to a segment in DFF, that say, stores a employee ID. My Value set picks up only active employees based on a specific condition. So that, when user enters data, he/she can choose only active ones.
But as days pass by, the users are end dated. So when I query the Order ( to which this DFF is attached, ) that has an end-dated employee attached to it, the validation fails.
My Question :
Is there a way to have the Value set fire only in the Entry Mode and not fre in Query mode?
Do we have to do this using the FORM.STATUS ( 'NEW','CHANGED') in the valueset query to acheive this? Or is there a simpler way?
Thanks

Hi Karthik,
Instead of making the value set not to validate, you can make the value set to validate as successful. This can be achieved in any of the following ways.
1) Make the Employee value set to display both Active/Inactive employees. If required the Status column can be displayed in the LOV. Also the list can be ordered by active employees first, then followed by inactive employees. There by user have the option to select the exployees be referring the employee status. This provides a provision to create records based on inactive employees also. If we strictly want to restirct to select only active employees. As said earlier, we can validate in Key-Commit or When validate Record.
2) Change the value set to return active values always and inactive values only based on condition. Say the condition is (:system.record_status <> 'QUERY' and active_flag = 'y'). In this case only active records will be retreived in the record status is not query, where as if the record status is query, inactive records will also be retreived.
If you have any solid condition to restrict the records, you can use those instead of record status/form status.
I would prefer to use Option 1. Which will provide a solid result all the time. Where as option 2 might cause some issues if it is based on record/form status.
Thanks

Item Validation on a Form - Receives ORA-0094: Invalid Idenitier error

I'm fairly new to APEX and having an issue with an Item Validation on a Form receiving the ORA-0094: <Column Name>: Invalid Identifier error. I have looked at postings in this form on this error and tried many of the suggestions. I still can not get it to work. My lack of experience with APEX is not helping either.
I'm using APEX release 2.2 with IE6.
I'm trying to create a new Invoice in the Invoice table (CTS_INVOICE). The RFA Number for this invoice must be an active RFA record in the RFA table (CTS_RFA). Before I add the check for the RFA active status, I wanted to get the code that checks for the existence of the RFA record working first.
After filling in the fields on the forms, click the Create button, and receives an error page with the following error ORA-0094: "RFA_NUMBER": Invalid Identifier.
I have checked to make sure the table name, column name, and item name were correct with spelling and capitalization.
Used the Wizard to setup the Item Validation.
Type: EXISTS
Validation Expression 1: Select 1 from CTS_RFA where RFA_Number = :P25_RFA_NUMBER
Error message: Enter an active RFA number.
location: Inline with Field and in Notification
Associated Item: P25_RFA_NUMBER
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vivian

Vivian - Might the column have been created as a quoted identifier with mixed upper/lower case characters?
Run this in SQL*Plus:
select count(rfa_number) from cts_rfa;
If that works without error then this is not the problem.

Setting validation based on condition on custom list

Hi,
I have a custom Image library. I have two custom columns created as part of metadata.
One is a dropdown choice column, which contains 2 values - "Free", "Paid".
I also have a datepicker column (date only).
I would like to set a validation based on below condition:
If dropdown selected is "Paid", then date should be mandatory field.
Can this be achieved OOB or a JSLink is required.
How to achieve this?
Thanks

Hi Vankatzeus,
You can achieve this using Javascript. In New and edit forms of your list, add a content editor webpart with the script explained below -
There is a PreSaveAction() function that you can use to do a custom validation. Before submitting any item, sharepoint first do the validation in PreSaveAction().
function PreSaveAction() {
//Step 1 - Read the choice and date fields.
// Step 2 - If choice is 'PAID' and 'date' field is blank { alert('Date can't be blank'); return false;} else {return true;}
In Step 1, write a script that read values from choice and date fields. You can take the script from
here and modify it just to read choice and date fields.
Cheers,
Manvir

Doing validation on tabular form

hi
i have tabular form based on table which contains name_of_user varchar2(15)
the name of the user should be upper case.
i want when i'm pressing the add row button to check if this column (field) contains upper case. i do know that i need to relate to the tabular for as array
but i don't know how ?
my tabular form is select
"id","name_of_user" from owner."users"
how shell i relate this array and how shell i ask if it's upper case
note: i will be glad if you show me also a way to do it as a validation on table level
thanks

Writing validations for tabular form input is not very easy. You can try using some of the excellent work Patrick has done with this, details at http://inside-apex.blogspot.com/2006/12/plug-play-tabular-form-handling.html
Using out-of-the-box APEX, you would need to write a "PL/SQL function body returning error text" validation with a Error display location of "On error page" that does something like
declare
l_error varchar2(4000);
begin
for i in 1..apex_application.g_f02.count loop
   if (nvl(apex_application.g_f02(i),'~') != upper(nvl(apex_application.g_f02(i),'~')) then
      l_error := l_error ||'< br/>'||'Row '||i||': Value must be upper case '||apex_application.g_f02(i);
   end if;
end loop;
return ltrim(l_error,'< br/>');
end;[Of course, substitute "f02" with the proper name of the array (unfortunately you need to look at the generate page HTML source to see what array is used to render your "name_of_user" column]

Send Email based on Approval Status

I'm working on a SharePoint workflow in which data can be entered into a form and an email is then send to a supervisor for approval. I have this working successfully. Next, if this information is approved an email will be sent to one email address,
if it is rejected it will be send to a different email address. This what I'm having trouble figuring out. What is the best way to accomplish this? I'm using SharePoint online via Office 365 and SharePoint Designer 2013 to create the workflows. I'm
pretty new to SharePoint so I apologize if this is a simple task. Thanks.

Null Validation in Tabular Form in APEX 4.2.2

Hi to all respected Gurus of this Forum!
Recently downloaded APEX 4.2.2. As we know that this version has some improved features and one is the best is i.e. *"Validation on Tabular Form".*
For test purpose I succeeded to apply validation on field of tabular form and I am not allowed to "SUBMIT" data as per Validation Rule.
But now, I want to customize that validation as per below logic.
If required field is null than a message-box should appear with two buttons , as under:
Blank field not allowed. Do you really want to submit? (Buttons should be = YES NO)
If user press "YES" then validation should be false and record should be saved
AND
If user press "NO" then no data should be submitted/inserted as per validation logic.
Please help. Your as usual cooperation is highly appreciated in advance.

Hello Sabine,
>> I read about enhanced validation in 4.1 and would love to get rid of g_f-programming.
The major “trick” is to associate the validation/process with a Tabular Form. On the first screen of both wizards, the first field is Tabular Form. You must select the tabular form on your page (currently there can be only one. In future versions this will change).
Another factor that might influence the behavior of Tabular Form validation/process is the new attribute of Execution Scope. Unfortunately, you must enter Edit mode to gain access to this attribute (i.e., it can’t be set directly from the Tabular Form create wizard). Set it according to your need.
The rest is very simple. You should treat your Tabular Form as a simple form, where every column header stands for a form item. The following is a very simple example of validating the SAL column:
if :SAL < 1500 then
return 'Sal Value is under 1500';
else
return null;
end if;In this validation I’m using the Function Returning Error Text type.

Arie.

Browser based InfoPath form deployed on a Claims based Web Application calling a Secure Web Service via Data Connection

hi,
We have a Browser based InfoPath Form deployed on a Claims based Web Application. We are tyring to call WCF Services that are secure using Certificates via the Data Connections on Infopath Form.
Earlier we used to get the Data in BCS External List via the WCF Services and the Data Connections used to get the Data from the BCS External List. Due to Performance Issues, we want to remove the BCS External List and straightaway call the secure WCF Services
via the Data Connections.
Have anyone implemented this scenario.
Thanks
Ram
Thanks Ram

Hi Ram,
As these are browser based InfoPath forms, you have two options
1) Deploy as sandboxed forms
In this case you have to create a secure store application id and then set the credentials for that account.
You then have to export the data connection to Data connections library and modify the .udcx file to utilize the newly created secure store application id.
This may sometime give issues related to sandboxed code service. You have to give permissions on the secure store for the user account which the sandboxed code service is running.
2) Deploy as administrator approved forms
This would be ideal way of doing things as you have full control over the web request if you write code behind InfoPath forms.
3) Deploy as a Hybrid solution
a) Write a full trust proxy solutions (extend SPProxyOperation class and override execute method) and make the web request call inside this and return the response
b) Invoke above operation from the sandboxed InfoPath form's code behind by SPUtility.RegisteredProxyOperation(four part assembly name, operation args)
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Srikanth

How do you apply rules based on read status?

I migrated to Mail.app from PowerMail, and one of the powerful options available when creating a filter/rule in PowerMail was the ability to check the status of the message (message is/is not read) before applying the rest of the rule.
Is there a way to apply this same check within a rule in Mail.app?
This option is used to create rules that file mail ONLY AFTER it has been read.
Obviously, the user must apply the rule manually since rules are only fired off when mail comes in, or when one highlights one or more message(s) and then selects the "Apply Rules" option from the contextual menu or from the Message menu.
What makes this so powerful is that rather than having to manually file every message after you read it you can create rules that check status for read, if it is check to see if it matches other criteria, and if it does, put it in a folder with other like messages.
Like many people, I have a large number of folders and subfolders into which I file my messages. By creating such a rule, I only have to file a message that matches other criteria once, use that to set up the criteria for the rule, and on subsequent messages that match that criteria, I only have to apply the rule after I have read it.
I could just file all the messages directly into their appropriate folders, but then I have to keep watch on the subfolders for new mail, rather than just watching the inbox, reading the new mail, then using the Apply Rules item to have the read message checked and then filed based on the criteria that it matches.
The logic might look like this.
Is Read status true
AND
The subject contains "Intranet"
THEN
Move message to /On My Mac/Work Mail/Current Projects/Intranet Project/ mail folder
THEN
Stop processing rules.
Without the ability to test the message's "read status" I have to select the message, right click to select "Move To>" from the contextual menu, then mouse through four sub panes to put the read message in the folder where I want to store it.
I also cannot select a number of read messages and use the Apply Rules option to allow my filing rules to move any number of read messages to their proper storage folders.
If anyone has a method for doing this, please let me know. It is the one thing I miss most about PowerMail.
Message was edited by: rnsyderpsu

I have been doing some of this, and while it does provide some of the functionality that is lost without the ability to apply rules only to read messages, it is not a complete solution. One of the biggest drawbacks is that it is not easy to selectively limit what new mail shows up the smart mailbox. One approach that works, sort of, is to limit the smart mailbox to only messages from people in my address book. However, not all relevant messages are from people already in my mailbox, so it requires constantly double checking to make sure that things are slipping through the cracks.
The best thing about being able to apply rules, after receiving them, based on the status of a message is that it puts the control in the users hands. It allows you to selectively apply rules, only when you want to apply them. Rather than always/never, you have the ability to apply rules "sometimes/as needed." It allows for fuzzy logic, rather than hard conditions.

Text Object Error in Pdf based print forms

Hello Friends,
I am trying to include a text object in Adobe PDF-based print form.
In the context, I have created a node for the text. I chose the Text Type as Include Text. I am able to choose the required Text Object and Text ID from the respective search helps. When trying to activate the form, I am getting an error saying that I did not specify a text name. I tried to rectify this error but could not do so.
Please help me out on how to rectify this error.
Points will be rewarded for useful answers.
Thanks,
John.

There is no need of activation for standard text... save will do...
Also note: standard text is client dependent... you need to attach to your transport request manually to move between clients...

Update Approval Status of parent Folder based on approval status of folder items

Hi,
I have a SharePoint list which contains folders. Each folder contains one or more items. I wish to update the folder approval status to "Approved" when all the items inside the folder are approved.
The workflow should trigger whenever the approval status of one or more items inside the folder is changed and is expected to check the approval status of all other items inside the folder. If all the items are approved the folder's approval status should
be set to "approved".
I am designing the workflow via SharePoint Designer 2013 and using SharePoint Online 2013 .
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to update Approval Status of parent Folder based on approval status of folder items.
Per my knowledge,
there is no out of the box way to accomplish this with SharePoint.
Though we can loop the
folder items to set the content approval status, we can not get the parent folder and then set the content approval status.
As a workaround, I recoemend to create event reciever to get set the content approval status of the folder items.
For more information, you can refer to:

Dynamic element binding between XML based PDF form and WDA context

Hi Experts,
I am working on a XML based interactive form.There is a table node in the XML interface which generated by WDA context, and binding on a subform in the PDF form.
I tried to add instances to the subform using javascript. Unfortunately, I can not get the internal table in WDA.
If I initialize the table to 10 lines in WDA , and then add 5 line to it in PDF, when I submit the PDF, I can only get 10 lines in the WDA framework. It seems that the element which is create dynamically can not be past to the interface.
Could you tell me why? And is there any other better solution? I just want build a table in PDF form in runtime and pass it to WDA context.
Thanks a lot!
Best Regards,
Guo Guo Qing

Hi Thomas,
Thank you for your reply.
I think the performance will be a problem if I create the elment in WDA using submit event. I need to create hundreds of record dynamically. I must find some way to reduce the communication between the WDA and PDF form. Maybe I can set a container with a number of elements before the PDF output. Do you have some better ideas?
Best Regards,
Guo Guo Qing
