  • How do I create a drop down list to e-mail a form for signature.

    The desired workflow is for
    1)      Firefighter 1 to complete the top portion of the Agreement
    section, sign in the Firefighter 1 signature field (which locks the top
    portion of the Agreement Section), then select Firefighter 2 from the
    e-mail drop down list and e-mail the PDF form to Firefighter 2;
    2)      Firefighter 2 opens the e-mail and the PDF attachment,
    completes the second portion of the Agreement Section, sign in the
    Firefighter 2 signature field (which locks the bottom portion of the
    Agreement Section), select Lieutenant 1 from the e-mail drop down list
    and e-mail the PDF form to Lieutenant 1;
    3)      Lieutenant 1 opens the e-mail and the PDF attachment, checks
    the approved box, signs the Lieutenant 1 signature field, select
    Lieutenant 2 from the e-mail drop down list and e-mail the PDF form to
    Lieutenant 2;
    4)      Step three continues through Lieutenant 2, Battalion Chief 1
    and Battalion Chief 2
    5)      Battalion Chief 2 sends the fully completed form back to
    Firefighter 1 who copies the completed form to Firefighter 2
    Note: if any of the officers disapprove the agreement the disapproved
    form is immediately sent back to Firefighter 1

    Hi Katie,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Numbers '09 forum.
    Numbers vocabulary for this feature is a "Pop-up Menu". It's available as a Cell Format, and is set and edited in the Cell Format Inspector.
    See "Using a Checkbox, Slider, Stepper, or Pop-Up Menu in Table Cells" starting on page 96 of the Numbers '09 User Guide.
    This guide, and the equally useful iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide are available for download through the Help menu in Numbers.

  • Director 8 - how do I create a pull down menu

    I have only been using Director for a short while and I am
    trying to figure out how to create an interactive pull down menu.
    There would be a title (click on title) then a series of Chapters
    would show up under the title. By clicking on a chapter (or
    releasing the mouse button) the viewer would be taken to the
    beginning of that chapter. I have seen the pull down button in the
    Library but have no idea on how to use it.

    To use the Dropdown Menu behavior from the Controls pane of
    the Library Palette:
    1) Create a field member
    2) Place it on the Stage
    3) Open the Library Palette at the Controls pane
    4) Drag the Dropdown Menu behavior onto the field sprite
    5) Select the appropriate* choices in the Behavior Parameters
    dialog
    6) Run your movie
    7) Click on the field sprite.
    * What are the appropriate choices? That depends on how you
    plan to design your project. You might like to start by creating a
    marker label for each of your chapters, and using "Markers in this
    movie" as the value for the "Contents" property.

  • How can you create a drop down list of specific numbers that are in scientific notation?

    Is the best way to do this by constructing an enum and setting the
    individual values to a case structure which has constants that are the
    desired values... or is there a more straightforward way of doing this?

    Just use a menu ring and set the desired "Strings and values" using a property node (or, if they are static, by editing the items directly via the property dialog).
    Most likely, you also want to set the representation to DBL.

  • How to create conditional drop-down lists

    I would like to create a form that utilizes conditional drop-down selection boxes like at http://blogs.office.com/b/microsoft-excel/archive/2009/11/24/create-conditional-drop-down- lists.aspx
    How can I create a form that contains fields like this?
    Is there a sample I can download?

    I have downloaded the AcroForm version (ListProgramming_Part1_AcroForm.pdf).
    I'm not able to consistently recreate.  I was first playing with the form by selecting values in the drop down.  At one point I went to Document Javascripts and select "Example1".  I chose to edit.  Make no changes and select "OK" I get "SyntaxError: missing } in compound statement 39 at line 40"
    The sec ion of code is:
    function SetPartEntries()
       // Only run this code on when the selection is commited.  
       if(event.willCommit)
          // There are 3 rows in the order form so in order to use other fields in 
          // the same row we first have to acquire the name of the row
          // we are operating on.  This is part of the List field's name, so we 
          // just have to split it off 
          var cRowName = event.target.name.split(".").shift();
          // Now get the new parts list from the Master List
          // Since the selection is being committed, event.value contains the selection text
          var lst = oAssemblyParts[event.value];
          // If an entry is selected that we don't have a parts list for, then
          // the parts list is just cleared. 
          if( (lst != null) && (lst.length > 0) )
             this.getField(cRowName + ".PartSelect").setItems(lst);
          else
             this.getField(cRowName + ".PartSelect").clearItems();
          // We have a new parts lists and the first entry is 
          // is a non-selection.  so clear the price field.
          this.getField(cRowName + ".Price").value = 0;
    I am not able to recreate if I select "Edit all Javascripts" only when I use document javascripts.

    How can I clear the browser pull down list, I have followed directions using options and it just won`t clear

    Entries in the location bar drop down list with a yellow (blue on Mac) star at the right end are bookmarks.<br />
    You can remove such a bookmarked item that shows in the list if you open that url in a tab and click the yellow star in the location bar.<br />
    This will open the "Edit This Bookmark" dialog and you can click the Remove button to remove the bookmark if you want to remove such a bookmarked entry.<br />

  • How the pull-down list of Google works?

    Hello,
    Do anyone know how the pull-down list works with it's resizable funtion in Google web search?
    Regards,
    Mortoza

    oh... that thing....
    Yeah, that's an IE thing for form completion. You can disable that in the browser.
    Where do you want to do this? You could certainly do something like that in a Swing application.
    If you want to do it in a web application.... Well, there are ways you could do it with DHTML, probably, but you have to maintain the historical values somehow.

  • How do I restrict the items shown in Action pull-down list in Quote Overiew

    I would like to restrict the items shown in the pull-down list of Actions in Quote Overview Screen in Oracle Quoting (HTML)
    The list is defined as part of Quick Codes (Lookup_type = ASO_QUOTE_ACTION). Per my understanding, it should show up all the lookup values enabled in ASO_QUOTE_ACTION. But I see only a few of those enabled in the action drop-down list in Overview Screen.
    I appreciate if any one can provide any clue where they are restricted.
    To access ASO_QUOTE_ACTION Loookup code, here is the navigation path.

  • How do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

    how do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

    Where is this example spreadsheet? Without seeing it I can only guess at what you are asking.
    To make a drop-down list (a pop-up menu in Numbers-speak), format the cell as a pop-up then edit and add to the list of items.
    If the example spreadsheet is pulling in a dollar value based on what car you chose in the pop-up, it is probably using LOOKUP or one of the other lookup functions, getting the information from another table (a lookup table). If, instead, these dollar values are what you are choosing in the pop-up, then you need to create a pop-up with these values in it.
    The Help menu includes a link to a page where you can download the Numbers Users Manual. It also has a link to the Formulas and Functions guide. Both are useful to new users.

  • Webdynpro " How to add values in Drop down list By Key"

    Hi experts ,
    i want to create a drop down list by key, i don't know how to assign values to it ( i.e. add list entries ) . Please help me on this ..
    With regards ,
    James..
    Valuable answers will be rewarded ....

    Hi,
    To fix values to the drop down key at runtime in the webdynpro application you can use the following code:
    DATA:
    lr_node_flightinfo TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
    lr_nodeinfo_flightinfo TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info,
    l_scarr type scarr,
    lt_value_set TYPE TABLE OF wdr_context_attr_value,
    lw_value_set like line of lt_value_set.
    get nodeinfo of node flightinfo
    lr_node_flightinfo = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'FLIGHTINFO' ).
    lr_nodeinfo_flightinfo = lr_node_flightinfo->get_node_info( ).
    get value set (VALUE = CARRID , TEXT = CARRNAME)
    select carrid carrname from scarr into table lt_value_set.
    clear lw_value_set.
    lw_value_set-value = 'AI'.
    lw_value_set-text = 'Air India'.
    append lw_value_set to lt_value_set.
    sort the value set by the describing TEXT
    SORT lt_value_set BY text.
    set value to context attribute
    lr_nodeinfo_flightinfo->set_attribute_value_set(
    name = 'CARRID' value_set = lt_value_set ).
    Here CARRID is a drop down by key field on the screen.
    in The context it is an attribute in the node FLIGHTINFO.
    Please give Reward Points if this piece of code helps

  • Acrobat form; how to set-up a drop down list that has catagories?

    Hi,
    We produce business directories.
    I am working on a display ad proof template where the user has a choice of 10 main categories where each main has 5 to 15 sub-categories.
    In my new Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 I understand how to create a drop down list, but can't seem to find where to tie in the sub-categories for each for the main listing.
    When the main category is chosen it would only show the related subcategories. See clip below. I am sure this is easy...just find the steps in the instructions.
    Thanks, Bruce 

    Hi Bruce,
    This forum is specific to Designer, which comes with Acrobat Pro 9. It will be easier to create this type of functionality in Designer (compared to achieving it in Acrobat).
    Designer creates XFA Forms, which are wrapped in a PDF. The user doesn't see any difference: eg they see a PDF which will open in Acrobat/Reader. However for user with Reader to be able to save the data they input, the form must be reader Enabled. This is a topic in itself and there are many discussions on the forums - just try a quick search.
    Now to the question...
    Yes, you can achieve this with some script. Basically you would need script in the preOpen event of the Business sub-category, which would look back at the selection in the Business category. Based on this value, the script would populate the sub-category with appropriate items.
    There is an example here: http://assure.ly/jcTahK.
    Hope that helps,
    Niall

  • How can I make a pull down menu in I web

    how can I make a pull down menu in I web?

    You can't do this directly in iWeb itself and it is quite complex - you need to use third party software and it is a matter of pasting code into the html snippet in iWeb and then uploading certain things to your host/server and then connecting them.  It can get quite fiddly if you don't really know what you are doing and it only takes you to upload the wrong thing and get some code wrong and your menu will not show up.
    Why not ditch iWeb in favour of newer software - try EverWeb at http://www.everwebapp.com and in EverWeb you can create drop down menus from within the app and it is very easy to do.
    I would change now as iWeb has not been supported by Apple or sold for the last 2 years, so now might be a good time to look elsewhere and ditch iWeb for good.
    I already have and purchased EverWeb and re-built one of my sites using this app and have moved my other site to Drupal so that I can do more with it and make it a members site - this can be done more easily if you use a Content Management System like Drupal.

  • Customizing Purchase Group Pull Down List in EBP portal

    Hi,
    Does anyone know how to modify the pull down list (Purchasing Group) in the portal. My functional told me PPOMA_BBP unable to achieve her requirement.
    I found FM BBP_PGRP_ASSIGN_BADI but this BADI is normally for assignment... what I need is modification of the values in the pull down list.
    Other than using PPOMA_BBP, is there any other way to modify the Purchasing Group's Pull Down List values?

  • Why is the PAPER SIZE pull down list different between my 2 identical MFPs?

    Indesign 6 - Toshiba MFPs with PS3 Drivers.
    I have 2 of the same models Toshiba MFPs - 5560c, and using the Universal PS3 Driver under Windows 7 PC.
    Why is my Paper Size pull down list different between to the 2 MFPs?  The main reason I ask; I don't leave it on "Defined by Driver" because that affects full bleed with crop mark printing, so I setup the driver first (say 12x18), then come back to the InDesign dialog and select a paper size.
    For my scenario I need 12x18 - which shows in one list but not the other. Aside from that the lists are totally different - why is that?  How can I manage that list?
    Thanks,
