Keeping a variable in context in the End User Menu

Hi All,
End Users can enter a WF variable, then enter a link to a WF... when the workflow finishes they come back to the End User Menu.
I'd like to keep the variable entered by the end user in context.

How can I make a top layer "transparent" to the end-user?

Hi guys,
Got a quick question.
I'm working on a custom card builder and was wondering if there was any way I could keep an uploaded image editable to the end user. The end-user will be able to choose what template they'd like to frame the image with. The problem is, even with transparency that chosen frame acts as a layer, and once the uploaded image has been placed onto the staging area, the end-user loosing the ability to edit/scale/skew that image. I'd like them to be able to still do that even with the template above their image.
Can anybody think of a solution to this? Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.

You'd literally need to chop each frame up. To keep things reasonable to update you can use Photoshop to slice the graphics, saving them to external PNGs to import in. If a frame has 4 edges, you cut out the 4 sides, import into Flash and reassemble them inside a single Sprite or MovieClip. Any area inside that sprite that has no actual objects will be true transparency and won't invoke a click action.
Keep in mind, hitboxes are rectangular. If you have an oval frame where the edges require you to create bitmaps with transparency on their edges, that will be clickable. If you don't immediately understand what I mean by that just draw a circle in flash, convert to clip. Now draw your cursor around what you consider the 'top' portion of that frame and notice how much of the inner fill you also capture at the same time. That will all be clickable. So the user may "see" their picture behind the frame but when they click they accidentally get the frame instead.
Picture worth a thousand words (random net image):
If you cut this oval frame into 4 pieces (this being the top obviously), the transparent area you see in the frame will need to be part of the hitarea for the frame. That can be just as confusing to customers in this situation. If most of your frames have little to no transparency (very squared up) then it won't be a problem. Although just like the problem you're having now, any bitmap transparency WILL be clickable even if you cut the sides up. The center where there is no bitmap can be clicked through to mess with the picture behind the frame.
This sort of makes the transparency detection a bit more desirable.

Read query string from End User Menu

In our IdM application, I want to be able to read a variable passed in a query string.
The string is part of the JSP page which takes the user back to the end user menu (user/main.jsp).
Is there a way for the end user menu to read a value from a query string?
Or can user/main.jsp be modified to pass the value from the query string to the end user menu?

can you brief ur requirement?

Best practice for end user menu pages

Hi
here is my goal :
i want to add a link on the end user menu offering the user the ability to reset some LDAP fields (for example reset default values for mail settings after the user made a wrong customization).
I saw all links on the end user menu are pointing to jsp pages. must i do the same or can i achieve my goal with only workflows and forms in the BPE ?
is there somewhere a good example or a best practice desciption of such a customization ?
thanks a lot

thanks a lotDo you mean adding additional tabs to the accounts information (default being identity, assignments, security, and attributes). So, you want an additional tab such as 'LDAP attributes' after attributes, once you have assigned LDAP resournce to that user, right?

New link in end user menu does not display

I am new to IDM and am trying to add a new link on the user Welcome page. I have added the link in the End User Menu using the BPE and the XML looks ok. I have saved the changes to the repository; but, the new link does not appear in the list on the user Welcome page at next login. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

End User Menu would be the right place to put this. Since you're able to see your link in the BPE browser, I think you're off to a good start.
Did you use the BPE to commit the form change to your production repository? If so, try saving your change as an XML file first and then import the form from the Configure->Import Exchange File menu.
Is it possible your browser settings are caching the page? I've never seen this happen, but it might be a factor.

I'm not certain thats the problem. I stopped antivirus, I set screensaver to NOT trigger and yet it took me FOUR DAYS to completely sync my ipod touch. Stupid me decided to try it with the iPad and guess what...it's been three days and STILL timing out.
I don't think Steve Jobs died; I think they upgraded him to iOS5, he crashed and they could not restore him.
THIS UPGRADE *****. They rushed it out the door to get the fancy-dancy voice command thing on the iphones and yet that feature does not help ipod or ipad users.

Before viewing PDF documents in this browser you must launch Adobe Reader and accept the End User License Agreement, then Quit and relaunch the browser.

I have tried to relaunch adobe but still keep getting same message. I can however download file and then open it with preview but would like to get this sorted!!

Back up all data.
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, there should be a setting in its preferences such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected. Otherwise do as follows.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

"Adobe Acrobat is blocked" - Where to I accept the end user agreement which will enable me to access Pdf documents on the web?

I keep getting this message when trying to open documents from the web:
"Adobe Acrobat is blocked" -
Where to I accept the end user agreement which will enable me to access Pdf documents on the web?
The Adobe website recommends this: (did not solve the problem)
Safari 7 and 6.1 block PDFs | Acrobat, Reader
Thanks for any help solving this annoying problem!
OSX 10.9.3
Safari 7.0.4
Acrobat Pro 11.0.0

Hello Isakten:
Thanks so much for your reply!
I already have Adobe Reader 11.0.7 and Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 installed.
Following your instructions, I then selected Reader as the desired Adobe product to open all PDFs. and save that choice. Still no difference, the same black screen and statement about the EULA shows up…
http://www.nhgastro.net/patients.html
BTW, this is the website that I was accessing……note the link to download and print the pdf which triggers the EULA page.
and also downloaded the latest version of Reader via their link….but to no success…..
This all started by itself months ago, I did no newer installs or settings changes, none……
Any other thoughts?
Thanks so much,
Steve

Questions for the end users in Building an application.

Questions for the end users in Building an application.
Hello,
I am assigned a project in building a CF application. As far
as the business requirements, I have an idea from the MIS people.
However, I have a meeting with direct users and I have to ask
questions to add to my requirements. I am still a beginner in this
but I need to ask questions.
Can anyone give me tips? what basic / important questions?

For starters,
DO:
Ask them to discuss what they want to do with the application
Try to understand their level of computer literacy
Keep your conversation non-technical
Continue to interact with the users during the design and
development process
Try to identify a "champion" with whom you can interface as the
project progresses
DON'T:
Use technical terms or discuss technical issues
Talk down to them
Promise delivery dates until you have documented their
requirements and they have approved them

Custom workflow... creating a new user from the End User's point of view

Hello I am trying to design a new Request for the end user so that they are able to create a new user. I am having problems with my workflow at this point and keep getting the error "Missing view id." Below is my code please help me out... I am very new to this so be gentle.
P.S. All my fields are named with " view.waveset.* " where * is either accountId or firstname or any attribute I need to set

I ran across the same error today. Since it's been over a month, I assume you've fixed it already or decided you didn't need it at all? What was your fix?
For me, I noted that in the sample directory, a similar "createView" call (in End User Anonymous Enrollment) also includes this argument:
<Argument name='viewId' value='User'/>
When I added that to my createView call, the "Missing view id" error went away, and the user are gets created.
I'm not entirely comfortable with the value specified, though; seems like view IDs should be more unique. I would have thought it should have been something like this instead:
<Argument name='viewId' value='User:$(accountId)'/>

Now that we have Java - who helps the end users?

Now that Oracle provides the JRE, we get to an interesting question: where do the non-technical people go for help with JRE installs and configurations?
At first blush, I'd almost feel we need a separate forum to help keep them in a 'friendly' place. We don't wanna be "Internet Help Desk" as depicted by "Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie" (http://www.deadtroll.com/) comedy group (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LLTsSnGWMI)
Got one over in "Database - Install" (Re: java problem and I'm thinking this is going to be the tip of the iceberg. The info at http://www.java.com/en/download/help/index.xml will be useful

Looks like another Jive implementation, but I don't think anyone here wants to think about an OTN forums upgrade anytime soon.I had totally forgotten that Sun had their own forums - also using Jive - to handle Sun products. That is the one presented.
But the real issue that caused my question: Where do the end users go who want help on the Sun Java download that is required for so many applets?
And the answer seems to be the JRE forum at http://forums.sun.com/forum.jspa?forumID=32
Don't know where you are coming from with the 'upgrade to OTN' comment. I do not think anyone is suggesting an upgrade. My 'fantastic' was a response to the answer to my original question. My 'wow' was a response to the organization and the detail in that community. It's changed since the last time I looked, which was quite some time ago.

Find the User ID through which the end user logged in BEx Analyzer?

I want to fetch the end user USERID who is executing the query. I am the end user and want to view a report, so I will login into BEx Analyzer with my userid and start executing query. Is there any way I can find that ID, in any table, program, function module or some where........?
I don't want 'created by', 'last changed by'. I want ID through which end user is logging into in Analyzer.
Also if the end user is logging in through RSRT wanted to know the SAP login user ID through which the user logged in?

Hi,
If you want to see the end user id that is running the query, and then open the workbook, select Layout from the menu u2013 Display Text elements. Click on All (or General, Filters or Variables based on your requirement). It will display the technical name, info provider, current user details. You can save it as existing work book transport to production, then when this query executed you can find end user login id.
May be you can check RSRWBTEMPLATE table for workbook users details. Mostly end user will not have access to RSRT.
Hope it helps you
Thanks
Riyez
