How do you dynamically populate a list?

Hello! Can anybody tell me how to fill a drop down list or combo box dynamically? For example, I want to grab the unique values of a database (error_source), and populate a drop down list with those unique values. This way I won't have to constantly be updating the static entry list every time one changes.
Thanks for the help!

Hi Sara,
have you tried the dynamic entry list? If not open the properties of your drop-down-list select the entry list tab. Then choose dynamic another popup appears. In this popup you have to select your system (your database or another data source), then you can select table. Now choose output under the output port. Then you can assign for the output port a value (this is the key) and a text (the text is displayed in the drop down).
If you have any problems with the entry list then this following wiki entry can help:

How do you dynamically check if all member children are missing?

Hi All,
How do you dynamically check if all member children are missing?
e.g. the below line does not work because you cannot directly use member sets in an IF statement.
IF ((@CHILDREN ("Profit")==#MISSING))
If I explicitly list all children in the IF statement, it will work, but there is alot of hardcoding.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
We have a BSO app and we need to query the account without aggregating the data..
We have 4 accounts sitting under Profit:
Profit
     A001
     A002
     A003
     A004
@SUM (@DESCENDANTS ("Profit")) works fine, but we also need to sum the accounts for the parent member of the current business that is evaluated, I have tried @SUM (@DESCENDANTS ("Profit")->@PARENT ("Business")) but this does not work.
This however works...
@SUM(
@PARENTVAL("Business","A001"),
@PARENTVAL("Business","A002"),
@PARENTVAL("Business","A003"),
@PARENTVAL("Business","A004"))
Is there a dynamic method to add the parent values together?
Cheers,

The easiest way that I have found is to open Outlook, go back to Itunes & select your phone.
Choose the 'Info' tab at the top of the screen & tick the box marked 'Sync contacts with' & choose Outlook from the drop down box.
Image attached may explain better.

How do you print the reminder list

How do you print the reminder list?

With Reminders open and your list you'd like to print select, press command "A". After that copy them (command "C"). After that, open your Text Edit app. Once that is open, paste your copy in there (command "V"). From here you can print like you normally do.

You have to first convert the list to a table (Format / Table / Convert List to Table)
Then select a cell in the table, open the table inspector, click on "Table", then go to the Edit Rows & Columns pop-up, and choose Sort Ascending or Descending, whichever you want.
If you want to then alter the table borders so it doesn't look like a table, you can do that also.
OR
You could then convert the Table to Text (Format > Table > Convert Table to Text)

How do you auto populate a date in a different text field after someone digitally signs the PDF form?

I am trying to auto populate a date in a text box on the upper right hand corner of my document after someone digitally signs it. Is this possible? How do you do this?

Go to the Properties of the Digital Signature field and under the Signed tab enter this JS code, under the last option:
this.getField("SignDate").value = util.printd("mm/dd/yyyy", new Date());
this.getField("SignDate").defaultValue =this.getField("SignDate").valueAsString;
Of course, you can adjust the field name and the date format used in the script above.

How do you determine StringBuffer and List capacity?

hi all,
I'm curious and would like to post this query that how to determine the StringBuffer and List capacity after read some of the Java Platform performance book. Some of this performance books simply tells number of capacity brieftly without telling what and how does the capacity stand for.
First, the book mentioned StringBuffer(50). Note, my question is that what is this 50 stand for? 50 Characters? or any. Can someone help me to rectify this?
Second, List. ArrayList(0.75). And what is this 0.75(by default) stand for? A heap space? Then how many of them? How many objects that can be stored for not to "exceed 0.75"?
Please help. :)
regards,
Elvis

I think the capacity is the CURRENT size of a container. But it is not equal to the number of elements that container currently hold. Just like, a house can have 10 people within, but problably only 3 people at some time. Also, the capacity is not equal to the maximum size, because container can grows automatically.
For example, a container whose capacity is 50, currently has 30 elements in it. If you add 10 elements more. That is only an addition operation. But if you add 30 elements to it. Then the container first enlarge its capacity according to some arithmetic(a enlarging rate), secondly carry out the addition operation.
Now that the capacity is the size, it should be a number standing for HOW MANY elements.... In the case of StringBuffer, it should be how many chars; in the case of ArrayList, it should be how many Objects. I do not think 0.75 can stand for a capacity. Prabaly, it was used to describe the enlarging rate when containers need to contain more elements than its current capacity. ( From JDK API, you can see the type of capacity is int ).
For containers and alike, the questions "how many I can hold" and "how many I am holding", "Do I can enlarge"? are helpful for understanding how it works.

How do you get the bookmarks list permanently displayed on the left side of the screen?

I somehow managed to get the bookmarks permanently open and displayed in a vertical column on the left side of the screen. I accidentally closed it and cannot get it to display again. How do you manage to get the bookmark list permanently open and displayed again? Thank you.

Hello exoticdoc2, see if the next [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/all-in-one-sidebar/ All-in-One Sidebar add-on] it is useful for you, it is more than a sidebar bookmarks toolbar.
thank you

How do you make a patch list display the actual patches?

The Large Patch Display and the Selector controls show the current patch and a list of available patches respectively.
However, if I drop a "Compact Patch List" or a "Full Height Patch List" on the screen, it only displays "Set Name" and "Patch Name" values. How do you make it show the available patches?

Is it that you want to only see patches without sets, or that you more patches than are displaying in the list?
Either way, you can change both of these things in Layout. Select the patch selector object then in the Inspector on the left you have some display options.
Hope that helps!

SPD 2013 - Copy Document action - how do you update the copied list item's metadata?

SharePoint 2013 Designer no longer has the Copy List Item Action, it only has a Copy Document action. It seems that this action provides no way of saving the copied documents list item ID. How do you update the list item after it has been copied??
Any help is appreciated.
Greg Pierson

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to copy the list item in SharePoint 2013.
The Copy List Item is
available only on the SharePoint 2010 Workflow platform, you can create a SharePoint 2010 workflow using the SharePoint 2010 workflow platform to achieve it.
You can also use the Content and Structure to copy the list items: Site Settings->Site Administration->Content and Structure.
Thanks & Regards,
