Form Output to web app?

Trying to wrap my designer brain around the web app functionality of business catalyst so I have a couple questions.  1) I have a form called Become a Dealer. I want companies that wish to become a dealer of a product to fill out a web form. I then need the web form data to automatically feed a web app. Is this possible?  2) How do I have a web app output data to an XML file and a formatted block?   Example: dealer fills out form: form data is collected: dealer is approved: dealer data auto populates to See a List of Our Dealers page.   Thanks.

Hello,
To become a dealer you can have the users fill out the Customer Submitted Web App Form.
(There is a way to do this so the users do not have to be signed in, I'm trying to find the tutorial for that, but with all the adobe moving around it is lost to me. I will link when I find it.)
Then you can set the user submitted web app items to need approval, attached to a workflow. And when approved the dealer is added to the list of dealers on your Dealers Page.
Hope that makes sense. Until I can find that documentation on submitting a web app without needing to sign in, you will have to get your dealers to sign up for a secure zone so they can submit a web app item. This is the only way I know how to do something like this. And I don't think there is a way to output all the web app data in an XML file. I may be wrong on that one, but pretty sure.
Hope this helps,

  • How do I add a reply form to a Web App?

    I am building a webapp that allows the client to submit work requests for updates to their website as there are far too many people involved in email and it gets confusing very quickly.
    I have figured out how to have them submit a web app item and view the details of that item, but I would like to have a simple web form that allows the client to reply to a web app item and have the result of that show up on the detail page of the web app item. Is this possible to do? I would really appreciate some help on this. Thanks.

    If by 'have the result of that show up on the detail page' you are reffering to the contents of the reply, then, off the top of my head, what you could do is make use of CRM Cases!
    ie;
    Create a workflow (let's call the workflow 'appReplies')
    Create a form and attach it to the appRelies workflow.
    Place the form where needed.
    Place the relevant case module in the app detail view eg {module_case,c,xxxxx}

  • Web App Security Fallback (client-cert then form-based)

    Can you setup a web application to fall back to form-based login if the
    client-cert (i.e. identity assertion token) is not available. I think this
    would be very valuable because once you've configured the web app to use the
    "client-cert" authentication, you can't access the web app directly (i.e.
    browser->weblogic server). You will always need to go through the perimeter
    authenticator so the token gets sent.

    Solution found:
    The trick is to return "401" in response if ticket is not valid (do nothing else). This will end the negotiate between client and server
    In your web.xml, forward your 401 code to login page:
    <error-page>
    <error-code>401</error-code>
    <location>/form_login_page.html</location>
    </error-page>
    There might be a more straightforward way to do this (have all the page management within servlet), but I did not have time to investigate it further. This one at least works

  • How can I pre-populate a web app input form with data from a webform in the CRM?

    Scenario:
    A customer fills a registration webform. The customers data is stored in BC CRM as usual. This step provides a lead to marketing unit and the team makes a follow up. Upon completion of internal processes. The workflow initiated by this customer filling the registration form is approved.
    Th user is sent a 3rd-party notification with a url to enable the user complete the registration process by entering the information into a web app.
    The Issue:
    The client is requesting that he doesn't want the the customer to re-enter some of the  information that  has been captured in the registration form again since it will be laborious for the user to do this. He wants the system to store this customer data already in the CRM and pre-fill the web app form so that the user just submit the data, so that the item can be in the appropriate web app as web app item.
    Question: Is this possible? Can this be achieved via js. How should I go about it.
    Your assistance will be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    For each option you would need to only have a custom text field for that item. This is where the otpion for each gets populated with javasript.
    Each option is your own html that is a select with options as web app items. A list layout of your web app items is just a select with text and value of that item.
    Your tricky thing is to setup the matrix of rules to define what shows and when. You can do that with data source association between web apps if it is a 1-1 relationship but if it is 1 to many you need to form script matrix to define what happens on each change.
    It depends on the details but thats the core of it.

  • The web app input form is not holding what i enter in it

    Am setting up a business directory using the web apps, and two of fields are custom, one for map and video, {tag_map embed} {tag_video embed}. Now when I add a business using the web app input form. All the other fields work perfect in the list and detail page, but in the detail page where the map and video tags are, they are empty, the form isn’t taking what I enter in the map and video field. I tried text (string) and text (multiline), no change. But when I add the business in the back end, it works. So it makes me think there is something wrong with the input form. I also try with the edit layout form once the business was added, that didn’t work too.
      Any ideas what would be causing this to happen

  • Can Project Web App track output produced rather than time spent?

    Hi -- I understand how team members can track the amount of time that they've spent on different tasks using Project Web App.  However, what I really need to keep track of is how much they've produced, rather than how much time that they've spent on
    it. 
    For example, I would like each team member to be able to give me a weekly report that says:
    # of sparkly blue widgets completed:  10
    # of pink matte widgets completed: 15
    # of beige widget accessories: 50
    I don't care how long it took them to make any of the widgets or widget-related items.  I just want to know how many each team member made in a week. Right now we do this in Excel, but I would love to figure out a way to make some sort of form in PWA
    where they could just enter their numbers. 
    Is that possible? 
    Thanks

  • Accessing other webpage resources when the Adobe form is oppend in a web app

    Hello,
    We have a web application and part of that web page is a PDF form. How can I access the other web page frames contents? For example, if the I update a field inside the form, I want to be able to request the web app to update the other frame in the same web page.
    Is this possible?

  • Set Disable or Expiry Date for web app item via Edit form

    I have a user that wants to delete a web app item from a secure zone edit form, but they are not the owner of that web app item.  All items in the web app were imported via a csv file and hence do not have a 'submitted by' user id assigned.
    Is it possible to Disable a web app item using a web app Edit form?  or alternatively, is it possible to set the Expiry Date of a web app item using a web app Edit form?
    Thanks
    Dave

    Sorry Brian, but I'm not sure that answers my question.
    Sure, I can create a single web app item for every single client of my customer, manually.
    Sure, I can create and 'allocate' that single web app item to each customer manually.
    I pray the customer doesn't have hundreds of clients. And I would have to teach my customer how to do this convoluted process for every new client.
    But the one thing this doesn't do is answer the question of updating the value of units held.
    It seems the order module remains the closes to what I am looking for in that it allows an equation, and is automatically customer specific.
    However, I am looking for a way to achieve a single daily update by the customer as to the value of the units held by each client. This can be done via the product module - update price. But this does not update existing orders. Exisitng orders are fixed at the price on the day. The customer wants to update the value once, in one place, and have that amend all existing 'orders' to reflect the new total value of units held by each individual client, and to have this show in each client's member area.
    If you can think of a way of doing this in webapps or via the order module, this is what I am looking for. Anyone?

  • Web app: How can I make a web app input form post directly to a sub category

    Please, how can I go about this? Some of the ideas coming to my head is to  replace the section I require with the  generated webapp input form code with this:
    <input type="radio" name="CAT_Category" value="{module_category, ID} onclick="javascript: return false;" >2013 /> // Not tested because am not sure of the markup
    Am I on point ? Or is there any other way I can get this done.

    I Trickster, pardon me if am not clear enough. But this is it. I have many BC Categories setup for different web apps. If you use the module {module_categorylist} only. BC will populate all the categories on the BC site, instead of a specific category  relevant to the web app. If it is {module_categorylist, categoryID}, you are telling BC to use the the categories in a specific category.
    When you say that you want to assign a web app item to a sub-category... do you mean the built in BC categories . I want to do this via the web app input form not through the admin.
    Do you have a top-level category that contains all the relevant sub categories that the user could use to classify/categorize the web app item upon submission?  Yea I have a top category that the user could use. It is this top-level category ID, I have used with the categorylist module.
    If you don't want the user to choose the sub-category themselves, how do you plan to derive the sub-category anyway? Thanks again Trickster. You have provided the solution to that with the hidden input field code you shared earlier. The sub-category has been pre setup as usual in BC and the sub-category ID would be used as you instructed in the code. This is intended for another web app that won't require users selecting a category. This is the example you shared:
    <input type="hidden" name="CAT_Category" value="my category ID"/>
    Using my example above I was able to test and have it working (using {module_categorylist} with the SELECT element) on a web app input form and when I submitted the new web app item it was classified in the category I chose. Yes Trickster, it works for me too that way. the web app item was classified perfectly, but if you go to your the web app item submitted at the admin-end, you will discover in that the category the user selected in the front-end is not selected, even though the item was classified
    I have highlighted it here: http://screencast.com/t/dwiXzBFXp
    The option selected  by the user is not captured. It often defaults to the 2012, even when the user selected 2013 and the item has been classified as 2013.
    I hope am more clearer. Thanks for all the effort.

  • I need to display a web app search form, inside the detail view of another web app. Does anyone know

    I can't seem to get a web app search form to work inside another web app detail page. Does anyone know if this is possible?
    I can display a list of web app items; and the search form works on a standard page; but when I try to load it within another web app's detail page, I get an error: "page not found". This happens regarless of whether I put {module_searchresuts} on the same page as the form, or if I redirect results to another page.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Heya.. You currently can not do that within the detail view but it is possible to redirect the results to another page.
    Simply replace this red portion:
    action="/Default.aspx?SiteSearchID=50&PageID={module_oid}"
    with:
    ID=/results-page.html
    ...results-page.html being the page you want instead.

  • Single form for secure zone registration and web app submission?

    Hi
    Is it possible to setup a form where a user can simultaneously register for a secure zone and submit a web app entry? The knowledge base / tutorials describe a two step process (web form for secure zone registration and web app input form for web app submission), but I would like users to be able to do both with a single form
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions
    mls

    In order to have a customer create a web app item they must be logged into the secure zone already.  I've seen some instructions on how to let users submit web app items outside a secure zone but that requires creating a dummy anonymous user and logging them into the secure zone via javascript.  You could use this method and once it's submitted you'll have to manually attach the web app item to the correct user in the BC Admin.  That might not work for you but you can read more about that at http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1784
    You can't use the above solution with the current user's username and password because those tags are only available when the user is logged into a secure zone already.  If your signup form needs to be filled out first, the user isn't logged in.
    Your best bet is to have the public signup form redirect the user after submission to an "Add item" form you have created. Maks sure that form is in a secure zone so when they add the item it is attached to their account.
    If you don't want to redirect them to a secure zone and want it more seamless you could try to use some javascript/ajax to submit the form via javascript and after the form is submitted, use the javascript code in the above to log them in (be careful to use the https://yoursite.worldsecuresystems.com url if you are passing username and password info gathered from your form to log them in via javascript/ajax).  Once they are logged in via the javascript you can use more ajax to fetch a page's HTML that resides in a secure zone.  This HTML returned from the javascript can be your "add web app item" form and since they were logged in via javascript (securely, right?) this HTML should contain the right information.  Insert this returned HTML into your form container that held the original signup form and they can continue to add a web app item without having to log in.
    This is theory and might work but you'll have to start experimenting with it via javascript.  I haven't actually tried to do this so hopefully some other community members who might have tried this can weigh in here as well.
    Good luck!

  • Access web app - Check if form is in edit mode

    I want to hide some fields when a form is in edit mode but I can't figure out how to check that. I tried
    That is not working. Is there another way to check the "state" of a form.
    Thanks, Mike

    Hi Mike,
    Unfortunately, there is no existing method that I'm aware of to know if a view in an Access 2013 web app is currently in Edit mode or view mode. I can sympathize with you on this one since I’ve had many occasions in my apps where I wanted to use something
    like this for various scenarios. I will pass along your feedback to the product team. You can set various properties on controls using macros, however, you cannot read control property values on views in Access 2013 web app views. The one exception is reading
    values of data entry controls.
    About the closest you can come to achieving you end goal would be to do a whole lot of extra work to control basic editing and save operations on that view. For example, you could create a new custom Action Bar button on your view with the same icon as the
    existing Edit Action Bar button. Slide that one into the position you want in the Action Bar. For the On Click event of this custom one, you put the view into Edit mode, and then show the controls that you want (which are hidden by default I presume in the
    On Load event of the view).
    If you want to experiment with this technique, I would suggest trying it out on a copy of the view. There are a couple of caveats to this approach that I should point out. First, don’t delete the existing built in Edit and Save Action Bar buttons (or any
    of the built in ones for that matter). Once deleted, you can never get them back. I am always in the habit of sliding ones I don’t want to the far right and then hiding them in the On Load event of the view. That way if I ever have a need in the future to
    bring it back, the button(s) is still there for my use and all I have to do is remove the macro that is hiding it.
    The second caveat is that once you put your view into Edit mode using your own custom Action Bar edit button and then click the save button to save the record changes, your hidden controls that you wanted to display on initial load will still show for the
    next record. That may not be the behavior you want. In that case you would need to also create your own custom save Action Bar button too. In that On Click event, you would use the Save Record macro action and you would re-hide the controls that you want hidden
    again for the next record since Access will automatically pop you back into view mode with the save operation. You’ll have to experiment with this if you want to try it. You might need to hide the controls before doing the Save Record action.
    Hope that helps,

  • Page after filling in web form and Css on Web apps

    Hi All.
    I have two questions.
    1. How do I customise the page that appears after a web form has been filled in. The page the sumarises the details filled and thanks the user for filling in the form?
    2. We have created a web app to display info on a page, which it does, but it isn't pulling the CSS styling from the main template. To make it work we have been putting inline CSS in the web app code, but this isn't ideal. Is there a way to make it look for the main CSS?
    Thanks
    Ken

    Hi Ken,
    1. You can find it under Site Manager > System Pages > Web Forms Confirmation Page
    2. Does the detail page/web app item use a template? Did you make sure the referencing looks something like this: <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/styles.css" />?

  • Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form?

    Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form?  Doesn't appear to be a property.  I don't see a programmatic method.  I saw someone suggest using goto control on the after update event trigger but what if the person
    doesn't edit the field?  No event would be fired.
    Jim

    Hi Jim,
    >>Using MS Access Web App, can you set the tab order of the fields on a form?
    I am afraid you could not. In Web applications, the tab order is set automatically and cannot be changed.
    (From
    https://support.office.com/en-au/article/Set-the-tab-order-for-controls-3d7f749c-5a53-42b2-bb0e-2323fa044e2e)
    >> I saw someone suggest using goto control on the after update event trigger but what if the person doesn't edit the field?  No event would be fired.
    The goto method is a workaround, but it should be triggered by a specific event. What I can figure out is changing the order of the fields.
    If this is a feature you want to include in future versions of Access Web app, please submit a feedback as the picture below:
