Hiding a field in PCUI

Dear Gurus,
I am asked to do hide some fileds, add some new tabs, rename some of the labels etc in CRM Portal 4.0 running on EP 6.20. Here is my approach to hide one of the fields Quality(Auto) in the lead management screen for Lead Manager.
I have identified my Field group. it is LEA_BD_QL. I have executed the transaction code CRMC_BLUEPRINT_C and selected the Application Element -> Field Group Structure. There were no entries for this field group. I have made an entry
SCREENPOSITION : 20
FIELDNAME : QUAL_LEVEL_AUTO
FIELDTYPE : DropdownListBox
Not In List : Yes
Not in Detail : Yes
and saved the entry.
Then went to Application Element -> Layout Generation
selected the field group as LEA_BD_QL and my View as : MKT_LEAD_M
The Only Check Field Groups check box is checked and executed, I got the message : "No field group was selected in the blueprint table"
When I try to generate the lay out for LEA_BD(which contains LEA_BD_QL), I get the message : Layout for field group LEA_BD contains no fields
and once I goto the portal, the field is not hided.
Can you pls suggest me if I am generating the field group properly and did I miss any of the step or not following the steps properly.
Thanks!
Vivek

Raj,
There are 2 field groups in the field structure with same name "9DA12CF6F564DB4997234924C02885B5" one for blank BLVIEW and another for MKT_LEAD_Q. When I delete these 2 entries and generate the layout, I get the message "Correct Field Groups LEA_BD MKT_LEAD_Q". I tried generating the layout with both blank view and also with the role MKT_LEAD_Q and I get the same message. What is the message that I get if the layout is generated proprely. Do I have to create any ZView or Zapplication, import any field groups here into the zapplications? I have not created any Zapplication or ZView. I am trying to modify CRMD_BUS200108. Looks like I am missing a vital piece here. If you any detailed document for this process, can you pls pass it on to me.
Thanks!
Vivek.

Field in PCUI

Hi,
I have added a field to opportunity transaction through EEWB. I want to populate this field in PCUI and not in SAP GUI.
So i have made Z_ class as a subclass of CL_CRM_BSP_AM_HEADFM_1o. In this i have redefined the READ method, and have called mapping modules in that to download and upload the structure ET_SCREEN_STRUCTURE.
The mapping method is cl_bsp_bp_global_service=>table_mapping.
My doubt is can i use this mapping method in READ method or it should be in some other method of the class. Because in READ method it throws me an ERROR.
Any suggestions about this?
Thanks & Regards,
Karthik.

Hello Karthik,
I just noticed a sentence in your previous reply : 'I dont want to store the contents of this field in database.'
If this is the case, you should not generate this field via EEWB because this is creating entries in the DB.
Just add an append to your screen structure, add the field in a field group for display in PCUI and put some logic in the READ method of your MAC to show the value.
The method CL_BSP_BP_GLOBAL_SERVICE-TABLE_MAPPING should work, even if it is normally intended for BP. What is exactly the error?
If you have created a Z MAC with subclass CL_CRM_BSP_AM_HEADFM_1o, redefine the READ method.
In the redefined read method, call first the READ method from the super class, then add your logic to add the value in your Z field.
As the table et_screen_structure has no structure (type any), you can always transfer it to a local table with the correct structure.
You know the correct structure which is used in your PCUI screen.
Some possible code (read it as a logic and not a syntax correct code):
Data :
lt_screen_structure type table of screen_structure,
ls_screen_structure type screen_structure.
If iv_screen_structure_name = screen_structure.
Move et_screen_structure to lt_screen_structure.
Loop at lt_screen_sturcture into ls_screen_structure.
logic to fill the Z field
Endloop.
Move lt_screen_structure to et_screen_structure.
Endif.
Hope this will help you,

Adding new field in PCUI

Hi All,
Can anybody tell me how to add new field in PCUI screen which is already present in database?
As per my understanding,I need to create a Zstructure which will be copy of my standard structure. To this Z structure I will add my new field. Then I will replace standard structure against my fieldgroup with my Z structure.Activate it. Then in Application set defination I will replace std structure and class with my Z structure and std class.
By this way fields gets display on PCUI screen. But its value is not saved in database?
Is there any step I am missing?
Regards,
Vikas

Hello Vikas,
The following will be best approach to Add new Field in PCUI:
(1) Get Information in which Screen area of application new field is requried to shown i.e. details like screen structure, field group and model access class.
(2) Check the new field is available the corresponding screen structure ..
(3) If Yes, then add to field group and generate field group layout, i this case, the field value will be stored in DB by standard Model class.
(4) If No, then create Custom structure and add to field group in order to expose to screen.
in this case, you have to assign this structure correspoding screen details in CRMC_BLUEPRINT_C->application layout. Create Model class inheriting standard on MAC impliment modify and read method to write logic of saving...reading fielf value and Assign it new structure in application set of corresponding application,

Showing/Hiding certain fields based on Radioset selection

Hello all,
I'm like to know whether it is possible to Show/Hide certain fields using a RadioSet selection as it is done in Forms in ADF UIX. Kindly go through this post.
Showing/Hiding certain fields based on Radio Group selection
kindly help me out on this.

Hi Arun,
Here is what I do with my checkboxes, but I think that the radiobutton will do the same:
<af:selectBooleanCheckbox text="selectBooleanCheckbox 1"
 label="Label 1"
 binding="#{backing_page1.selectBooleanCheckbox1}"
 id="selectBooleanCheckbox1"
 autoSubmit="true"
 immediate="true"/>
<af:inputText label="Label 1" binding="#{backing_page1.inputText1}"

 partialTriggers="selectBooleanCheckbox1"
 value="#{backing_page1.selectBooleanCheckbox1.selected}"/>

Creation of Dropdown "custom" field in PCUI

Hello
I have created a new field through EEWB and want to place it in both form view and list view of Accounts transaction (crmm_account) in PCUI. This field should be come as a drop down field and should have specific values to be picked from the domain associated with its data element.
Problem is
1. When I converted it into a drop down field through Blueprint tables, it is showing properly in form view but "not" in list view. In list view It creates a "drop down list" but without any option values.
2. If I dont create a dropdown field then it gets displayed as a Input Field with "F4" option list. However, it lets a user enter ANY value in the Input field. (Ideally it should allow user to put only the values being shown in F4 options list like Country Field)
Any input to resolve the issue is welcome.
Regards

Mani,
You may want to look at IMG and check your entries for the respective fields.
If you dont want users to enter any value, check and mark the respective control attributes for those fields.
Hope that helps.

EEWB Fields in PCUI Screen

Hi All
I am facing a weird problem for a long time and have not got any documentation to refer.
I have created a new field through EEWB and want to see it in both Form & List View of Accounts transaction(CRMM_ACCOUNT) in PCUI.
I realised that extended field through EEWB are created in a Field Group(FG) "CI_EEW_BUT000". However the "Search Result Area" Field Group (ACC_SRES_01) contains a 32 Digit Number Field Group in it. Example (4A934616C4104543B9A972B516D6C4E9) . This Field Group in turn contains Field Group "CI_EEW_BUT000".
However what I have realised is that this dynamic field group number keeps on getting changed.
But today I can not locate this dynamic field group in the main field group table (Transaction: CRM_BSP_VCLS_FLDGRP) but to my surprise I still find it included in the Field Group "ACC_SRES_01".
Now the implication is that, I can not see my extended field properly in List View of accounts transaction(crmm_account). I have tried umpteen times to include this field in List view through CRM designer but it is not working. However field is visible in FORM View.
Does anybody have any idea that how can extended field groups be controlled and how can I display my extended field in List View ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Vishal,
The naming convention sometimes is wrong although it has been created by a standard SAP function or program. Don't worry about this. Many standard PCUI applications are wrong in name conventions terms. Don't care.
However, naming convention is not the problem with your layout generation (100%), but I'm not sure what's the problem.
The option you have is to create a new field group, based on the same screen structure than CI_EEW_BUT000 with the same fields. Try to follow the name convention but this is not very important. Regenerate your new field group (with the correspondant view) and try it.
If not, perhaps the perhaps the Weblog PC-UI and Easy Enhancement Workbench (EEW) Integration helps you.

Dialogue tick boxes un-hiding all fields, not just the ones where value has changed to true

I am hoping someone can help me make what I want to happen, happen if certain check boxes are ticked withing the dialogue box
right now I can see on the console print that the tick box turns the value from false to true but the OK button is also un-hiding all my fields rather than just the ones where the value has turned to true. What am I missing here

You're missing some curly brackets, using the incorrect equality operator, and using the long deprecated field.hidden property. Try this:
if ("ok" == Signors.DoDialog()) {
    if (Signors.bChk2) {
        getField("Signor1").display = display.visible;
        getField("Staff1").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date1").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date2").display = display.visible;
    if (Signors.bChk3) {
        getField("Signor2").display = display.visible;
        getField("Staff2").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date3").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date4").display = display.visible;
    if (Signors.bChk4) {
        getField("Signor3").display = display.visible;
        getField("Staff3").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date5").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date6").display = display.visible;
    console.println("Chk2:" + Signors.bChk2);
    console.println("Chk3:" + Signors.bChk3);
    console.println("Chk4:" + Signors.bChk4);
    console.println("Chk5:" + Signors.bChk5);
I don't know if that will deal with all of the problems, but it's a good start.

Length of Input field in PCUI ???

Hello Expert,
Is there anyway to change the length of input field ?
I created a input field of lenght 1 in GUI. and added this field PCUI also. In pcui this field is accepting only one char but the field visiable on screen is too long for a single char.I want to change this visiable length of the field on the screen.
Please Guide me!!!
Thanks
Amit

Thanks Thirumala for ur reply
Dear visiable length is not taken from DDIC structure field
length, that also control length of input value.
Visiable length is controled by layout Algo. only this much i know.How can we change that, No idea.
Thanks

"F4" search-help for custom field in PCUI

Hello all,
Does anyone know how I can create my own simple F4-help for a custom field I have added to a custom Tab Page in the PCUI? It should show a selection from a custom table.
I couldn't find an useable example in the PCUI-cookbook.
Any ideas anyone?
Kind regards,
Martijn de Jong.

Hi Manuel,
I saw that paragraph but didn't know how to implement it. Maybe you or someone else can explain/translate in steps what I have to do, according to the text underneath, i want to use a combobox:
"If you want the application to specify the values for selection (within popup or dropdown list box or
combobox (COBX respectively TIME)) at runtime instead of using predefined domain values, data
must be provided by the application via the method FILL_DROPDOWN_LISTBOX. That scenario
works if the field type is "Input Field" and the F4 application is set to "VALUE_TABLE". With these
customizing settings, the method FILL_DROPDOWN_LISTBOX of the interaction layer is called at
runtime and the actual field values will be passed to the application via importing parameter
IT_SCREEN_STRUCTURE. Thus the application can provide context-sensitive help values within a
popup or a dropdown list box respectively combobox (COBX respectively TIME). Within the popup
more than one column of values can be displayed."
How/where do I (re)define method FILL_DROPDOWN_LISTBOX? Do i have to maintain an own class? and how do i ensure that more columns are shown?
Kind regards,
Martijn de Jong.

Security using custom field in PCUI

We would like to create a custom field on the header of the business partner to store information that would then be used in the security roles.
For example, we want to create a branch field on the header of the business partner and then use this field to restrict access to specific accounts within the sytem using a CRM Security role.
Does anyone know if you can use a custom field in the CRM system to restrict security within the PCUI application?
If anyone has any information, I would greatly appreciate it as we are on a crunch to get this implemented!
Thanks!

Hi Darcie,
If you add custom field and maintain value in it, i'm not sure if you can restrict access by CRM Security role.
If your users are going to be entirely based only on portal/pcui (i.e. they would not use SAP-GUI log-in) then you can consider the option of tweaking your Accounts advanced search and not letting users see certain accounts (based on the value in EEWB / custom field)
Hope this helps.

Raviraj

Assign search help to a field in PCUI

Hi Friends,
Here is my requirement. I have designed a PCUI application which searches the address based on the post code entered. Now the standard method to assign this application as search help is to specify the name of the application in the "input help" property of a field in the field group.
I have implemented the same for the field POST_CODE1 of the field group ADR_DETAIL_POSTAL which is a part of service order application in PCUI. Now when i try to use the same thing in street field, it does not work. the F4 help just does not come. It works fine for STR_SUPPL2 field, House_num1 field and all other fields in the field group except for the Street field. ANd the client wants in only on the street field.
I am not able to understand that what might be the possible mistake. Any help in this matter will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Karan

Hiding Windows, fields in adobe forms

Hello,
I am new to adobe forms and presently working on one requirement.
My form got 3 pages, on first page i have one table. i) If the table contains only one row i have to hide the entire page.
ii) On the second page i have Po details and on third page I have SO and FI details. If the tables for PO, SO or FI are empty i need to hide the windows.
iii) Current Page/ total Page no : This field needs to be displayed from second page and once the form repeats for another input value these two needs to be initialized and start counting based on the data extension to multiple pages. Presently printing starting from 1st page.
I have all the flags First_page_flag, Second_page_flag, third_page_so and third_page_Fi flags controlled from print program and are available in the context menu but not on the LAYOUT.
I also tried the following code to hide the page but it didn't work out: (Initialize)
var pdisplay = xfa.resolveNode("Table_PO[*]");
if(pdisplay.value == NULL)
pdisplay.presence = "hidden";
I could able to hide the windows, subforms and fields with out the flag check via java scripting.
this.presence = "hidden"; but don't know how to use these flags in script editor to hide all these.
Can any one help me to achieve these functionalities for which i will be so thankful to you.
Best Regards,
Naresh.

Hi Vibhav, Hi Aravind,
I closed my layout and run the program. But still getting the same error.
For Tables in PAGE 2 and PAGE 3
Anyways I could able to hide the TABLES (Sub forms - Page 2 & 3) now by including and hiding the flags(WV_SDISPLAY, WV_FDISPLAY) in the respective subforms. I have used the following JAVA scripting to achieve this in initialization event:
if(this.WV_SDISPLAY.rawValue = "X")
this.presence = "hidden".
For PAGE hide:
But, in my requirement i have to hide the FIRST PAGE and not the TABLE, if the table(subform) containes one row. I set a flag wv_idisplay in the program. Now if i include this flag under this table and follow the same JAVA scripting mentioned above it is not working.
if(this.WV_IDISPLAY.rawValue = "X")
this.presence = "hidden".
Also, from some of the threads and by the comments of Gold Otto, I could understand that, to hide a Master page, i need to put the condition on it's associated subform and i am proceeding with this logic.
Could you please help me if this is not the correct approach. Also, request you to send me some sample Java Script to hide a PAGE.
Thank You,
Regards,
Naresh.

Hiding a Field, row and cell

Please how can I hide a Field, Row and cells repectively. We are carring out a project that we need to hide cells and sometimes fields or rows as the case may be. I noticed in console -> Role -> Tables, you can set only read only or read/write and in the functions tab you can set up none or execute. There is no option for hiding. Can any one help.

Hi marcellinus,
To hide a field there are two methods:-
1-->Open console and right-click on field of corresponding table which u want to hide and choose Hide from the context menu. This will hide field from display.
For more details u can refer to SP04 console reference guide-page no 53.
2-->U can specify constraints and privileges in the tables and fields tab in roles table for field and record level security.This will prevent field or records from display.
To hide a rows or cells u can specify any mask as constraint.This will display only those records which are specified in the mask.
For more details u can refer to SP04 console reference guide -page no 149.
Hope this will help you.Let me know the result
Thanks,
