How to display "Metadata Only" field in Update Form

Hi,
I have added the below configuration in Config.cfg file to make Primary File non mandatory,
AllowPrimaryMetaFile=true
suppressAlternateFile=true
createPrimaryMetaFile=true
After restarting the server it displayed "Metadata only" fileld upon selecting Primary File became non mandatory, but while updating the Content this field is not getting displayed, rather it is displaying Original File field and Primary File became mandatory.
Could you please let me know how to make Primary File non mandatory (otherwise displaying "Metadata only") in Update form. Appreciate your help on this. Thank you.
Thanks,
Ashok

Hi Srinath,
Thank you for responding, here we need to make Primary File non mandatory by displaying "Metadata only" field. we achieved this in Check In form, we need the same in Update Form.
From the Kyle blog, he specified that option to completely hide Primary File but our requirement is making non mandatory by introducing metadata only field.
Thanks,
Ashok

Display read only field in table / form from another vo

i came across couple of scenarios where i had to bring a field in a table / from from other vo than on which most fields in table / form were based. in all cases i had to display the field from another vo as read only and there was only one record in other vo which was related to previous vo in table / form. for this i created a view accessor and created a soc with model driven lov. the problem with this is that first element alwasy shows blank in soc. how can i display the filled soc with first element populated and read only in this scenario. i tried alternatively with groovy expressions but other people in team said it is not good practice to use groovy expressions to fill fields in one VO from other VO. how can i acheive this requirement with soc component / lov / view accessors. is there any other alternative as well. jdev 11 1 1 5

1) in the attribute of the VO select the 'List of values' node and edit the list attribute you see there; in the dialog select the UI Hints tad and make sure the checkmark for the 'Include "no Selection Item' is off.
2) you can base a VO on to EO which are then joined via one or more attributes (association)

How can I format a field in the form creator?

How can I format a field in the form creator? It's putting the same text in all the fields within a table. I want each field within the table to have different text. As soon as you click out of the table, all the text is the same.
I even changed the fields from a text box to a drop-down list so a person can make their selection, which will be a quantity from 0-9. There are two of these such fields. You make your selection in each, click off the table and both fields show whatever I selected in field 1. The original Qty I selected in the bottom field was a 5 but it changed it to whatever is in the top field on it's own. I've added a screen shot.

This behaviors usually happens when you create the fields but a copy paste command from one of the fields. The copy paste command assumes that your intentions is to maintain a copy of the field in two separate locations (e.i, a form field "company name" printed in each and every page of a multi-page form document.
Go to the properties fields of each field and make sure to assign unique form field names.

IWDWindowInfo windowInfo = (IWDWindowInfo)wdComponentAPI.getComponentInfo().findInWindows("PdfReportWin");

How do I subtract two fields in a form?

I am working on an expense form and I have everything working except one thing.
We have to subtract any over payments from previous expense reports on the current expense report. I am looking at the calculate tab of the Text Field Properties. But I do not see a way to subtract my two fields.
I then setup a field that contains a negative one, except when I display the field on the form, the negative one is a positive one. I did enter -1 as the default value to my "subtraction" field. I was then going to multiple negative 1 against the the over payment amount so I could get a negative over payment amount. I was then going to add the negative over payment amount to the total due and arrive at a net due, But this does not work.
Here is the calculation I am trying to do:
Total Expenses     (calculated field from all of the preceding fields.)
Deductible Expense       (user entered)
Net Expense check          (Total Expense - Deductible expense).
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
thanks,
Dennis

With Acrobat there are 3 calculations options.
"The field is the ____ of the following fields:" options are for sum, product, average, min, and max operations or for actions that could be repeated over multiple fields. One does not usually subtract or divide multiple fields in on action.
"Simplified field notation" uses only field names and values. Field names must start with an alphabetic character and should not have any spaces or special characters. Cannot perform conditional control statements or functions. Special characters or spaces can be in field names if the JavaScript escape character precedes the special character or space. The 4 arithmetic operations can be performed.
"Custom JavaScript calculation" has no restrictions on field names, control statements, functions or mathematical operations. One needs to access the field object and the value property of the field object.

How can we add Text field on system form which is updateable?

Hi Experts
I Want to create text field on System Form like A/R Invoice, in which I can store value after saving the document. I means Updateable field. Is it possible and How?
Thanks
Regards
Gorge

Hi Gorge,
Please follow Jeyakanthan instructions. You may know how to create a UDF but you clealy don't understant how they work.
A UDF in the System document's Title table is always updatable, unless you define it otherwise or do not have permission to update it (Open the form where you created the UDFs and press CTRL + ALT + B to open the definitions form).
A UDF in the System document's Rows table is always updatable ONLY if that document's rows are updatable AND if you set them as updatable (via Form Settings) and have permission.
On a User Form, you make your own rules!

How to show a time field in a form portlet

Hi,
I am not familiar with PL/SQL and I was wondering how I could show a time field on a form portlet.
I have a date column in my database that stores the time and date together, but I do not know how to separate them into date and time fields. I also do not know how to concatenate them when a user inserts a new record, or how to query on a date alone.
At present, the user has to type the date and time following this format mask hh:mi am DD/Mon/RR
I also have a problem with one of my hidden id fields. I have set the default to a sequence.nextval (#qtc_app.seq_visitor.nextval) and then hidden it since
it is irrelevant to my users. However, I can no longer use the query function since the sequence is always generating a new value. How would I only generate
a new sequence no. when a user inserts a record??
Thank you!
cheers, Kim

Hi,
Each colunm in the form has a format mask associated with it. For the date column make the format mask like this DD-MON-RR HH.MI. This will show the date along with the hours and minutes.
Thanks,

How to expand multi-line fields in pdf forms?

I have a FormsCentral PDF form, which allows users to fill out the form and save as a PDF. However, after receiving the completed forms, I am unable to see all the text in the multi-line field boxes without opening them and scrolling down. Since I will be sharing several of these competed forms with a review panel, I would like to:
1) Display the entire content of the multi-line field boxes rather than having the reader scroll down, then
2) Save the completed forms so that its read-only when I send it to the review panel
I am not collecting responses via FormsCentral. I am just receiving the PDF via email.
Can someone please help me?
Thank you!

You can use a script to change the font size to Auto, which will cause all of the text to display, assuming it can be even at a font size of 4. For example, the following code can be executed in the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J):
// Set the font size to Auto for a text field named "Text1"
getField("Text1").textSize = 0;
A script that will change this for all multline fields in the form is:
// Set the font size for all multiline fields to Auto
for (var i = 0; i < numFields; i++) {
 var fName = getNthFieldName(i);
 var f = getField(fName);
 if (f.type === "text" && f.multiline && f.textSize !== 0) {
 f.textSize = 0;
This script could be included in an Action if you want to do this for a collection of forms.
