Linking a library to a list - filtering data per selected drop down / check box item

Good day,
I am rather new to SharePoint and have run into a dilemma. Is it possible to link a library to a list, then create a parent-child relationship between the the department (list) to document (library)?
Example - I have a library that contains 100+ documents, the library is filtered using groups/subgroups.
IT
-> IT TX (30 docs)
-> IT WI (10 docs)
Biz Ops
-> Biz Ops WI (8 docs)
-> Biz Ops CA (5 docs)
In the list I created I have departments as a required field, and a dropdown tool that shows the 5 departments that contain items that need to be grouped together. (Biz Ops, IT, HR, Sales, and Compliance)
I have linked the library of documents to the form (list), using "Lookup (information already on this site)". All the documents in the library appear in the selection box within the list. However is it possible to first select a department which
then filters documents only tied to said department? So at the beginning of the list you choose the department you wish to browse the documents, then it filters out all documents not related to that department?
My apologies if this is long winded and confusing. Your help is most appreciative.
Cheers.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to filter the corresponding documents from a Document Library when you selected a department in a List.
I recommend that you can follow the steps as below to implement it in your environment.
1. Create a new Web Part Page and add the Document Library and the List web part into it.
2. Click the List web part, click the current web part’s drop-down arrow, choose Connections, Send Row of Data To, and then choose the Document Library web part.
3. Click the Document Library web part, choose the “All Items” view from the Selected View, click the current web part’s drop-down arrow, choose Connections, Get Filter Values From,
and then choose the List web part.
4. Open the Configure Connection – Webpage Dialog, choose the “Department” column from the Provider Field Name drop-down list and choose the “Group” column from the Consumer Field
Name drop-down list.
5. Click Apply, OK button, save the Web Part Page and test it in your environment.

Hi Rosalin,
Loop the hidden table, get the values and populate drop down in each iteration.
DropDownList1.addItem("Text","Value");
You can use one more solution for this scenario. If it is a matter of 2,3 dropdowns, put three dropDowns in the form layout and give seperate static data binding to them. At run time make the dropDowns hide/visible as per the requirement.
Hope this helps.
Thanks & Regards,

When I attempt to access my IRA account on line, I get a message saying that the web site requires a client certificate. The certificates listed in the drop down dialog box don't get accepted, even though one is indicated as valid and good until 10/2014.

When I attempt to access my IRA account on line, I get a message saying that the web site requires a client certificate. The certificates listed in the drop down dialog box don't get accepted, even though one is indicated as valid and good until October 2014. I contacted the IRA account managment company and they sais it's an Apple issue. Any ideas?

Some websites require a special client certficate for access. If you don't have that certficate, you'll have to contact the site operator to find out how to get one.
Sometimes the problem is caused by a web server that is configured to request an optional client certificate. Safari treats the request as mandatory. In that case, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome may be able to connect to the site, because they ignore the request.
The first time you were prompted for a certificate, you may have clicked through a dialog that requested access to the Apple certificate in your keychain that is used to secure the iMessage service. In that case, you may be able to regain access to the site in Safari by doing as follows.
Back up all data.
Double-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Paste into the search field in the Keychain Access window by clicking in it and pressing the key combination command-V. An item may appear in the list of keychain items. The Name will begin with string you searched for, and the Kind will be "certificate."
Delete the item by selecting it and pressing the delete key. It will be recreated automatically the next time you launch the Messages or FaceTime application.
The next time you visit a site that prompts for an optional client certificate, cancel out of the prompt. You may have to do this several times before the server stops asking.
Credit for this idea to Christian Braukmueller of SAP.

I have created a spreadsheet on numbers for ipad with a list of customers as a drop down menu. How can i make their address appear underneath when i select the customer?

I have created a spreadsheet on numbers for ipad with a list of customers as a drop down menu. How can i make their address appear underneath when I select the customer?
iselect the customer?

Hi bazza,
We won't be able to put the address from a formula into the same cell that you enter the customer's name. We can put the address in the cell under the customers name.
First let's take James advice and concatenate the address in the address table.
Here is the formula in G2
=CONCATENATE(B2&"
",C2&"
",D2&"
",E2)
It shows this way because after I clicked on B2 and typed [&"] (no brackets) I typed option-return
This gives you your new line. Then I typed the closing ". I repeated this for the rest of the address.
Next we want to bring this to your order sheet. I prefer using the two formulas OFFSET and MATCH instead of VLOOKUP.
base tells OFFSETwhere to start counting from. Click A1.
row-offset is for the row. we will use MATCH() -1 to give us the row.
What MATCH does is give you the row number where something is found and you can specify an exact match. I usually construct the MATCH formula first and then cut and paste it into OFFSET. MATCH looks like this: MATCH(A2,Table 1::A,0). A2 is what we are looking for, Table 1A::A is where we are looking (the entire column A), and 0 means we want an exact match. Can you see it inside the OFFSET formula? Notice that we had to subtract 1 from its result.
column-offset tells OFFSET which column A=0 so we want 6.
we ignore "rows", "colomns" we don't need them.
If this seems like too much, just break it down into small pieces.

On my drop down menus, the items listed are appearing twice.

On my drop down menus, the items listed are appearing twice. For instance, there are two "shut down" and two "restart." How do I fix this?

Hi Peter, and a warm welcome to the forums!
See Tom Gewecke's post here...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4395251&#4395251
This problem has been reported serveral times. It seems to be a loss of access to the main system font. I've not heard of any cure except a reinstall.
It appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

Selecting the XML data from a drop-down menu or links

Hi, I have this page:
http://www.georgeglazer.com/prints/nathist/botanical/volckinv/volckinv.html
There are prints of lemons/limes and prints of oranges. I
want to have the visitor select which kind of fruit from either a
drop-menu or from two links that look something like this:
Lemons/Limes | Oranges. Looking at other help docs I found the
region/state mapping demo at
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/StateMappingSample.html,
and copied the code and tried to modify it. But I don't really
understand the technical shorthand of the help docs (an ongoing
problem I have with the Spry documentation) and I couldn't find the
XML docs that the region/state mapping demos are based on so I
couldn't see how they were set up.
I got as far as this: nothing loads initially when you open
the page (I'd like the lemons to load), but if you select Oranges
from the drop-down menu you see the oranges, and THEN once you've
done that, you can select Lemons/Limes in the drop-down menu and
see those. I have three XML files I've been playing around with to
get this to work: lemons.xml, oranges.xml and inventory.xml, which
combines the two.
I also suspect region/state mapping might not even be exactly
what I'm trying to do here, but I can't figure out from the
documentation exactly what this thing I'm trying to do is called. I
know the photo album demo accomplishes something similar, and I
could do that, but it seems way more complicated than what I need
here (right?). Help will be appreciated!
Thanks,
Helen

I made a different test using the file
http://www.georgeglazer.com/prints/nathist/botanical/volckinv/inventory.xml
and
http://www.georgeglazer.com/prints/nathist/botanical/volckinv/volcktest.html
where I sent up the inventory xml form like one I found in the
Nested XML Data documentation where you have item ids and types, so
all the oranges and lemons are in one XML document (which I'd
prefer).
Here's an abbreviated version of the inventory.xml:
<inv_items>
<inv_item id="1" type="lemon">
<name>Lemons and Limes</name>
<title>Cedro Ordinario</title>
<plate>116a</plate>
<fullimage>pl116a.jpg</fullimage>
<tn>pl116a-2.jpg</tn>
</inv_item>
[and more lemons follow]
<inv_item id="19" type="orange">
<name>Oranges and Others</name>
<title>La Zucchetta Imperiale</title>
<plate>138a</plate>
<fullimage>pl138a.jpg</fullimage>
<tn>pl138a-2.jpg</tn>
</inv_item>
[and more oranges follow]
</inv_items>
What I'd like to do is display the names "Lemons and Limes"
and "Oranges and Others" and when you click on "Lemons and Limes"
you see only the thumbnails for lemons and limes, and when you
click on "Oranges and Others" you see the thumbnails for only
those. I'd like the Lemons and Limes to be selected when the page
is opened.
Help greatly appreciated!

Multi-Select (drop down list) data not saving upon save/email

I have created a drop down list and modified it to allow multiple selection, i.e.
form1.BusinessAreaTable[1].Row1[4].ERP::ready:form - (JavaScript, client)
this.ui.choiceList.open= "multiSelect"; this.rawValue
= "-1"
However, when I go to save the form and/or email the list fields erase and the data / items I selected are gone.
Please help, thanks.

Okay, I have the form now.
You are using script in the form Ready event to make a dropdown list mimic a listbox. This is totally unnecessary. I have changed the ERP to a multi-select listbox in the Object > Field palette and commented out the script.
Here is the form: https://acrobat.com/#d=K*P4xKIA4kkqEHGTpgyvvw
The form has not been Reader Enabled, so user with Reader will not be able to save the data inputted or submit by email in PDF format:

Dynamically populating data for the drop down lists

Hi,
I am trying to have a mutually dependent drop down lists in my page.
This is what I am trying to do -
Lets consider there are 3 drop down lists (Choice - Select Many). A simple example lists are - Country, State, County. Now users selects country from drop down, I need to get all the states for that country as the data for the "State" drop down list. Then user selects a state, I need to populate data for the "County" drop down list.
I am trying to do this. I added a ValueChangeListener method in the backing bean and tried to add this on the "Select Many Choice" component. But the method is never fired. I tried to change few other properties like - "immediate", "Auto Submit". but method is not fired.The method in backing bean is as shown below -
public void onRegionSelect(ValueChangeEvent event) {
System.out.println("Value changed ==>> "+event.getNewValue().toString());
Need some help on how to do this.

Why is the browser hijacker Vosteran listed in the search engine drop down menu?

New download of Firefox 33.1 has a known browser hijacker listed in the drop down menu. It took me several hours to remove it's damaging files and get any browser to work correctly again. This is insane!

Hi mach37, can you delete the Vosteran search engine by highlighting it on the Search panel of the Options dialog and using the Remove button?
''If it comes back:'' I would suspect a bad add-on. Here's my suggested procedure for tracking down and cleaning those up:
(1) Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program (on XP: Add/Remove Programs). After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
(2) Open Firefox's '''Add-ons page''' using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click '''Plugins'''. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click '''Extensions'''. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
(3) You can search for remaining issues with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.

How do i turn off TFS adding bulds to Global List? and or to the "Found In" drop down in work items?

We do not use the standard TFS build definitions in our drop downs, and have scripted updating the global list with our standard build numbers. However, we get both the TFS builds and our build numbers in the "Found In" field of work items. How
do I disable TFS automatically adding the "Builds - " list into the "Found In" field Rules? and or updating the Global List?

Hi CRHill,
Thanks for your post.
What’s the version of your TFS Server?
What’s the “not use the standard TFS Build definitions in our drop downs” mean?
You’re using the TFS Build Definition to build your solution but not use the default TFS build process template in it?
If you don’t use TFS build definitions to build your solution, how the TFS builds’ numbers be generated and added in team project Global list?
As far as I know all the completed TFS build numbers will be added in to team project Global list by default, and there’s no a default way to turn off that in TFS Server. Please refer to the workaround in this article:
http://readcommit.blogspot.com/2008/04/found-in-build-team-build-list-make-it.html.

Modifying the list of AnyConnect gateways in drop down

Is there a way to remove the list of gateways that you can connect to? I have a user group that I will changing the gateway to use an alias and I don't want both connections listed. It seems that even if I edit the profile the client on the pc remembers the old gateway.

I don't have a PC to check on right now but the gateways should be listed in the files described in the following link: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/vpn_client/anyconnect/anyconnect31/administration/guide/ac02asaconfig.html#wp1619691
