Hidden column expecting metadata

When I try to save a doc to a specific doc library Word says that metadata is missing or invalid but according to the DIP nothing is missing. So I go into the content type and unhide a couple of columns (setting them to optional) just to see if they are
causing an issue.
When I go to the DIP now, one of the previously hidden columns is showing as required.
How can that be? How can a hidden column be expecting a value to be supplied. This column may have been required at some stage but has since been set to hidden. Surely this action would take away the requirement for metadata for that column?
There doesn't seem to be an option (under edit column) to remove the requirement which convinces me that this may be a bug?

Hi,
Thank you for sharing this with us, and it will help others who have met with this issue.

Excel workbook saved as web-page - In IE it displays correctly (eg all non-hidden columns) - In Firefox it displays what I expect, plus the first of what should be a series of hidden columns

I saved an Excel workboob as a web-page - In IE 8 it displays exactly as I want (that is all visible, non-hidden columns) - In Firefox 10 it displays the same, ''plus'' the ''first'' of what should be a series of'' hidden columns'' - Why would Firefox see a hidden column which IE doesn't - I'm working on XP (fully up-to-date with all patches applied)

Thanks fmdeveloper as a result of you confirming that it is an FF bug I delved deeper into it and I've now found a fix as follows:-
1) Unhide Excel columns, format cells to ;;;
2) From first re-formatted col to rightmost end of all cols select & hide
When saved as web page this then displays in FireFox as it does in IE
NB: After re-formatting previously hidden cols it is necessary to hide '''all''' the remaining cols or there will be a display of blank cols in FF where garbled 'hidden entries' were seen previously

MMS Hidden columns appearing in Document Library Settings / Column list

Hello all,
Before you read this please be aware that I have found a resolution (that might be helpful to others) but I am wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing and the cause.
Our scenario is as follows:
We use a Content Type hub
Most Content Types include one or more Managed metadata columns
The MMS Notes (hidden) columns (e.g. mms_column_name_0) have appeared on the 'Document Library Settings page under 'Columns' for 2 document libraries only. They appear under the actual name of the column (e.g. mms_column_name).
They are NOT visible to the user however (i.e. they are not selectable to be used in a view)
Looking at SharePoint Manager the mms Notes column's are marked as being Hidden = false. Altering this to true has the desired effect.
But has anyone else experienced the same issue as I'm inquisitive as to the cause.
The only thing I can think of that caused this to happen was us using 'Metadata navigation settings' (which allows you to configure navigation hierarchies) for the first time on one of the 2 Doc Libs effected . However, on testing it on other document
libraries the unhiding of columns has not occurred.
Can anyone shed any why this may have occurred?
Jason

Hi jasonl27,
this behaviour:
This is by design. Two separate lists do not have any type of relationship established to distinguish that the
columns are the same. For example, take an arbitrary column called "Position" being created on two different custom lists. Because the column Position is a custom column created
in the list, it has no mapping to other lists. The "Position"
in one list could refer to a title of a person
in one list, or a physical location on a different list. SharePoint cannot tell if these two items are the same or completely different. As a result, a new column name is added when we move the item.
perhaps you may try to do these steps:
$site = Get-SPSite -Identity "http://......../"
$web = $site.RootWeb
$field=$web.Fields["column name"]
$field.Update($true)
$field.Hidden= "True"
$web.Dispose()
$site.Dispose()

JTable, stopping navigation into hidden columns?

Hello,
In JTable I have done .setPreferedWidth(0) along with every other width setting =0; I did this to hide columns which are necessary but uninformative to the user like primary key ids. The problem is that you can still hit tab, shift-tab, and right arrow which will put the "focus" in the hidden columns, effectively 'losing' the cursor for the user.
How do I fix this?
I've tried using focusLost listeners but they don't fire every time I need. When a user starts editing a cell by arrow-keying over then just typing (never double clicking), then subsequently exiting the cell using the tab key or right arrow, I don't get the event to fire.
I've also tried a KeyListener, but this doesn't work every time I'd expect.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

There is a way to make the navigation keys skip the column with a width of zero, but the real question is how badly do you want to get it done? If you want it bad enough, then I suggest you override JTable's processKeyBinding method and for every navigation key (up, down, left, right, tab, shift-tab, home, end, etc., etc., etc.) check to see if it lands on such a column, if so manually move to the non-zero column in the direction of the key -- otherwise, let JTable's own processKeyBinding method consume the event.
;o)
V.V.
PS: If you are one of those people who don't like to go down to the low level, you can add as many InputMap/ActionMap to take care of these keys.

Apex_application.g_f01 picking up value of hidden column

i have a report with a apex_item.checkbox using the id 1 and a hidden column. for some reason my pl/sql code that loops through apex_application.g_f01 picks up the value of the hidden column as well. why is this? is this a known bug?
i managed to get my code working by using id 2.

report code
select ename,
apex_item.checkbox(1,ename,null) sel,
'RED' COLOUR
from emp
order by ename
process
FOR I in 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP
//i insert into a test table to view results
END LOOP;
the above works fine until i change the COLOUR column from a standard column to a hidden column. Then for some reason the apex_application.g_f01 then includes the values of all ticked boxes plus all the values in the COLOUR column.

Excel Upload with Hidden Column

Hi Gurus-
Can you upload Excel file with hidden column and get the function to read values in hidden column? If yes, could you please guide me how?
I am using ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Have a look at program RSDEMO01 (available in the controls examples of the workbench). It demonstrates an OLE connection to Excel.
To know which excel objects, methods and properties to use it is a good idea to use the excel macro recorder - just do what you want your program to do and then translate the resulting VB code to ABAP OLE.
For the import of the clipboard data you can use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>CLIPBOARD_IMPORT. In the result table, iirc, there is one line for each imported line and within the line the cell values are separated by tab. So there is some work left - it might be a good idea t import the data column by column.
It has been some time when I did this for a former client of me - so unfortunately I do not have the code any more.

How do I get a hidden column to show in a library?

I am having an odd behavior on one of my site columns, and am hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this for me. I have just built a content type hub. Also created some site columns....I have one particular column (which is a choice type), that
is hidden at the parent content type level. I see this hidden column each time i view the settings of any content type that inherits from the parent content type. However, when I add these child content types to a library, I no longer see the hidden column.
I don't understand why this is the case.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Is this the way it is designed to work in SharePoint?
Update: When I view the inheriting content type from the hub, I see the hidden column. But if I view the same content type from within my site, I do not see the hidden column. Is this a publishing issue? Or is this by design in SharePoint?

That definitely does not sound like design. Have you tried editing the content type on the library level NOT the hub level? You should be able to set the hidden status to display within the Content Type section on the library.
If that doesn't work, it'll be worth looking at something like SharePoint Manager to open up the column and inspect its properties.

Total, Subtotal of a hidden column in an ALV grid

I have a requirement for an ALV grid where I have to use a custom formula for a column's total and subtotal.
This value is a function of another column which is hidden (No_out = 'X').
I am unable to access the total and subtotal of this hidden column . I am able to access this only when I unhide the column in the field catalog.
THis is how I access the total and subtotal of the GRID. I use oops ALV of the class CL_GUI_ALV_GIRD.
call method o_grid->get_subtotals
    importing
      ep_collect00 = total
      ep_collect01 = subto.
assign total->* to <ftotal>.
assign subto->* to <fsubto>.
I thought I would manipulate <ftotal>-mycolumn and <fsubto>-mycolumn . But both these are functions of a hidden column
and <ftotal>-hiddencolumn and <fsubto>-hiddencolumn is always empty unless I unhide them. I cannot display these columns to users as they are just logical columns of a dynamic internal table I have built. :-s

HI,i have the same issue, how did you solve it?

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to create custom SharePoint 2010 Search Refiners for some drop-down columns in library.
For achieving your demand, you can refer to the blog:

Custom table model, table sorter, and cell renderer to use hidden columns

Hello,
I'm having a hard time figuring out the best way to go about this. I currently have a JTable with an custom table model to make the cells immutable. Furthermore, I have a "hidden" column in the table model so that I can access the items selected from a database by their recid, and then another hidden column that keeps track of the appropriate color for a custom cell renderer.
Subject -- Sender -- Date hidden rec id color
Hello Pete Jan 15, 2003 2900 blue
Basically, when a row is selected, it grabs the record id from the hidden column. This essentially allows me to have a data[][] object independent of the one that is used to display the JTable. Instinctively, this does not seem right, but I don't know how else to do it. I know that the DefaultTableModel uses a Vector even when it's constructed with an array and I've read elsewhere that it's not a good idea to do what I'm trying to do.
The other complication is that I have a table sorter as well. So, when it sorts the objects in the table, I have it recreate the data array and then set the data array of the ImmutableTableModel when it has rearranged all of the items in the array.
On top of this, I have a custom cell renderer as well. This checks yet another hidden field and displays the row accordingly. So, not only does the table sort need to inform the table model of a change in the data structure, but also the cell renderer.
Is there a better way to keep the data in sync between all of these?

To the OP, having hidden columns is just fine, I do that all the time.. Nothing says you have to display ALL the info you have..
Now, the column appears to be sorting properly
whenever a new row is added. However, when I attempt
to remove the selected row, it now removes a seemingly
random row and I am left with an unselectable blank
line in my JTable.I have a class that uses an int[] to index the data.. The table model displays rows in order of the index, not the actual order of the data (in my case a Vector of Object[]'s).. Saves a lotta work when sorting..
If you're using a similar indexing scheme: If you're deleting a row, you have to delete the data in the vector at the INDEX table.getSelectedRow(), not the actual data contained at
vector.elementAt(table.getSelectedRow()). This would account for a seemingly 'random' row getting deleted, instead of the row you intend.
Because the row is unselectable, it sounds like you have a null in your model where you should have a row of data.. When you do
vector.removeElementAt(int), the Vector class packs itself. An array does not. If you have an array, when you delete the row you must make sure you dont have that gap.. Make a new array of
(old array length-1), populate it, and give it back to your model.. Using Vectors makes this automatic.
Also, you must make sure your model knows the data changed:
model.fireTableDataChanged(); otherwise it has no idea anything happened..
IDK if that's how you're doing it, but it sounds remarkably similar to what I went thru when I put all this together..

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize a table to display the list items.
We can write CSS to customize the table style(background color, highlight, hover).
The following is an example for your reference:
Code:
<style>
#TermList table {
border-collapse: collapse;
margin-bottom: 2em;
width: 100%;
background: #fff;
#TermList td, th {
padding: 0.75em 1.5em;
text-align: left;
#TermList th {
background-color: #31bc86;
font-weight: bold;
color: #fff;
white-space: nowrap;
#TermList tbody tr:nth-child(2n-1) {
background-color: #f5f5f5;
transition: all .125s ease-in-out;
#TermList tbody tr:hover {
background-color: rgba(129,208,177,.3);
#TermList .HiddenColumn {
display:none;
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getAllListItems, "sp.js");
$("#TermList tbody").click(function(e){
//get hidden column value
var hiddenColumn=$(e.target).parent().find(".HiddenColumn").text();
alert(hiddenColumn);
function getAllListItems(){
var listName="CustomList01";
var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var web = context.get_web();
var list = web.get_lists().getByTitle(listName);
var query = SP.CamlQuery.createAllItemsQuery();
allItems = list.getItems(query);
context.load(allItems);
context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.getSuccess), Function.createDelegate(this, this.failed));
function getSuccess() {
var ListEnumerator = this.allItems.getEnumerator();
while (ListEnumerator.moveNext()) {
var currentItem = ListEnumerator.get_current();
var itemID=currentItem.get_item("ID");
var name=currentItem.get_item("Title");
var email=currentItem.get_item("Email");
$("#TermList tbody").append('<tr><td class="HiddenColumn">'+itemID+'</td><td>'+name+'</td><td>'+email+'</td></tr>');
function failed(sender, args) {
alert("failed. Message:" + args.get_message());
</script>

How to create hidden column in Oracle Table

Hi folks
i have one doubt regarding hidden column creation in Oracle Table..
Let me briefly explain my requirements.
I have one table called UWRMC_MAST is table contain the following columns
        RMC_N_ID           NUMBER(10)                    NOT NULL,
     COB_N_ID           NUMBER(2)                      NOT NULL,
     SUBCOB_N_ID     NUMBER(2),
     RMC_C_CODE      VARCHAR2(10 BYTE)         NOT NULL,
     RMC_C_NAME      VARCHAR2(100 BYTE)       NOT NULL,
     CREATED_N_BY   NUMBER(10)                     NOT NULL,
     CREATED_D_DT   DATE                              NOT NULL,
     MODIFIED_N_BY NUMBER(10)                     NOT NULL,
     MODIFIED_D_DT DATE                              NOT NULL,
     RECORD_N_STS   NUMBER(1)                      NOT NULL,
     RMC_C_REMARKS VARCHAR2(256 BYTE),
     EFFECT_D_DT     DATE                           NOT NULL
RMC_N_ID is primary key
i want to create one column like Old_EFFECT_D_DT as virtual column
when ever i update the effective date that date should be insert into Old_EFFECT_D_DT i.e., Virtual Column
For example
SQL> select RMC_N_ID, COB_N_ID, SUBCOB_N_ID, RMC_C_CODE, EFFECT_D_DT from uwrmc_mast;
RMC_N_ID   COB_N_ID SUBCOB_N_ID RMC_C_CODE EFFECT_D_
        46          1          74 PCTMOTR    02-FEB-11
Below i update the effective date(01-feb-2011
SQL> update uwrmc_mast
2 set EFFECT_D_DT = '01-apr-2011'
3 where rmc_n_id =46;
1 row updated.
But i want a result like below
SQL> select RMC_N_ID, COB_N_ID, SUBCOB_N_ID, RMC_C_CODE, EFFECT_D_DT from uwrmc_mast;
RMC_N_ID   COB_N_ID SUBCOB_N_ID RMC_C_CODE EFFECT_D_   OLD_EFFE
        46          1          74 PCTMOTR    01-APR-11   02-FEB-11Is this possible to do in oracle , kindly give a solution for my requirement

Regards,
ArunWell, I'm not sure exactly what your requirement is.
If you want to audit changes to the records of that table then it would be better to use Oracle's auditing facility. If this previous change date is really a required part of your actual application functionality then you might use the application itself to maintain the previous date as a column in the table, as you say, or if you need to maintain the history of changes then add a new table so you can keep track of multiple changes.

Grand total on a Hidden column in OBIEE11g

Hi All,
Is any way to display a grand total value for a hidden column in OBIEE11g analysis.
Actually my requirement is to show a total count of specific values(lets say 'Yes') in column which contain 'Yes' and 'No' values.
So for this, i have created one hidden column and that contain 1 and 0 for corresponding 'Yes' and 'No' and then sum of this column will solve my purpose. But i dont want to show this column in my report. Is any way to do this?
Thanks,
Archie.

Err..ok. If u want to show total count of yes in grand total section...then just filter ur report by 'yes' and change the aagr rule of same col to count in fx. No need for seperate column here. Ur report will just show where col value is 'yes' and its total count will be displayed at the grand total section.
Hope this helps

Filter Interactive Report by a Hidden Column

Hi, I would like to know if you can filter an IR by a hidden column?

Edward_MX wrote:
Hi, I would like to know if you can filter an IR by a hidden column?Ok, this works (for want of a better solution). I ended up adding a field to the report called HIDDEN_DETAILS. Then just hide that column with javascript/css using a live scope dynamic action on region refresh and on page load.
This javascript does the trick:
$('th#HIDDEN_DETAILS').css('display', 'none');
$('td[headers="HIDDEN_DETAILS"]').css('display', 'none');Then just ensure you save that column to your default IR report and any others where the users need this filter available.
