Locking Selected Fields on Submit

Hello,
I've been working on a multiple-item quote request form. My intention is that Party A (Requestor) will fill in the item description and details necessary for Party B (Vendor) to provide a quote. The form will be emailed to the Vendor who will complete the remaining fields (price and delivery) and email the form back to the Requestor.
The item description and details (provided by Requestor) and the item price and delivery (provided by Vendor) are both wrapped in thier own subform and both are contained in a repeating subform. I've scripted the buttons that add/delete instances of the subform for each separate item being quoted and the button that emails the form to the Vendor. It took me a long time, but I finally got the buttons to work!
Now I'd like to find a way to 'lock' the fields filled by the Requestor when the form is emailed but still leave the fields open that need to be completed by Vendor. I'd also like to lock the contact information fields at the top at the same time. I've attached a JPEG with the form layout to clarify...
I've been reading a lot of old posts regarding similar topics and tried some of the solutions provided but cannot seem to make them work for my application. The closest I've been able to come is locking the entire form. I have the form set to email on event=click of the "Submit to Vendor via Email" button and the locking action on the event=mouseup of the same button.
Does anyone know how I should approach this? I'm begining to think I designed my form and myself into a corner! Unfortunately I do not have a server on which to host the form but would be happy to email it to anyone willing to help.
Thanks,
Jake

I dont know what I was thinking. After some rest, and a second look, I can see this what the code is doing.
I am trying to provide a button that will lock elements on individual pages that are part of multiple instances. Note, each instance will contain said button.
Example: TRANSMITTAL[3].lockButton should only lock items on that instance of TRANSMITTAL[3].
The two attempts had different results
form1.TRANSMITTAL.lockButton::click - (JavaScript, client)
var j = _TRANSMITTAL.count;
for (var i=0; i<j; i++){
var currentSubform = xfa.resolveNode("TRANSMITTAL[" + i + "]");
varLOCK.LockAllFields(currentSubform, "Lock");
..resulted in Locking ALL instances.
form1.TRANSMITTAL.lockButton::click - (JavaScript, client)
varLOCK.LockAllFields(form1.TRANSMITTAL);
..resulted in nothing.
Any suggestions?

Lock PDF Fields upon Submit?

Hi,
I am using Acrobat Pro 9. I created a fillable PDF with a submit button at the bottom. I plan to e-mail the PDF as an attachment and set it up so that the fdf file is returned to my e-mail. However, upon testing the result i noticed the fields did not lock after the user clicks submit. In other words, when I open the returned file / import the fdf data it allows me to change/edit the user imputed data. This could cause problems for me since others will be working with the returned data. Therefore, I would like to know if there is a way to lock the form fields once the user clicks the submit button. When the data is returned I do not want there to be a way for me (or any one else using the data) to accidentally change it. Please let me know if there is a way to do this.
PS I am new to acrobat and have no real design or development experience. I do not know much, if any, terminology. Thus, if responding please respond as if you were talking to someone who knows almost nothing. It would be helpful if you could explain step-by-step using acrobat 9 pro.
Thanks,
Josh

If you really want to make sure that edits to entry fields cannot be changed, you can flatten the PDF pages:
this.flattenPages()
All values entered into text fields will now be text in the PDF, not editable fields. This includes any buttons you have added, so you can hide them before you flatten the pages if you don't want them in the document:
this.getField("btnFlatten").display = display.hidden
this.flattenPages()
You can also specify a page range to flatten. This will flatten pages 1 through 5:
this.flattenPages(0, 4)

Lock selective fields in Table

I have a table with 8 columns and 20 rows and I want to be able to lock out specific fields with content "na" to prevent user from editing those fields.
Is it doable in LV8.6?

Question 1) are you using a "Table control" for the display purpose?
2) is all the "NA" appears on one column?
If the answer to Question 1 is yes, then i am afraid you can not just simply disable a praticular cell in the table. (atleast i didnt see any built in property as such). But it could be done by some algorithm based current selected cell and may be switching the postion to the next cell when the "NA" cell is selected.
If the answer to the question 2 is yes, then simply put that column data in to a list box or something else (next to your table).

Hi,
<b>Plz find the explanation abt user-exit below</b>
User exits :
1. Introduction
2. How to find user exits
3. Using Project management of SAP Enhancements
1. Introduction:
User exits (Function module exits) are exits developed by SAP. The exit is implementerd as a call to a functionmodule. The code for the function module is writeen by the developer. You are not writing the code directly in the function module, but in the include that is implemented in the function module.
The naming standard of function modules for functionmodule exits is:
EXIT_<program name><3 digit suffix>
The call to a functionmodule exit is implemented as:
CALL CUSTOMER.-FUNCTION <3 digit suffix>
Example:
The program for transaction VA01 Create salesorder is SAPMV45A
If you search for CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION i program
SAPMV45A you will find ( Among other user exits):
CALL CUSTOMER-FUNCTION '003'
exporting
xvbak = vbak
xvbuk = vbuk
xkomk = tkomk
importing
lvf_subrc = lvf_subrc
tables
xvbfa = xvbfa
xvbap = xvbap
xvbup = xvbup.
The exit calls function module EXIT_SAPMV45A_003
2. How to find user exits?
Display the program where you are searching for and exit and search for CALL CUSTOMER-EXIT
If you know the Exit name, go to transaction CMOD.
Choose menu Utillities->SAP Enhancements. Enter the exit name and press enter.
You will now come to a screen that shows the function module exits for the exit.
3. Using Project management of SAP Enhancements, we want to create a project to enahance trasnaction VA01 .
- Go to transaction CMOD
- Create a project called ZVA01
- Choose the Enhancement assign radio button and press the Change button
In the first column enter V45A0002 Predefine sold-to party in sales document.
Note that an enhancement can only be used in 1 project. If the enhancement is already in use, and error message will be displayed
Press Save
Press Components. You can now see that enhancement uses user exit EXIT_SAPMV45A_002. Double click on the exit.
Now the function module is displayed. Double click on include ZXVVAU04 in the function module
Insert the following code into the include: E_KUNNR = '2155'.
Activate the include program. Go back to CMOD and activate the project.
Goto transaction VA01 and craete a salesorder.
Note that Sold-to-party now automatically is "2155"

Lock Fields with Submit

Running LC ES with SP2.
I want to lock the fields or make them read only after the user submits the form. I don't have or need a digital signature for the initial submission.
Any thoughts? I have tried flattening the form and that isn't working. It is still editable by the manager who gets the form and it's even editable when the user receives the final approval or rejection from the manager.
I know how to lock them down when the manager signs but what about after the user submits. That is what I really need done.
Thanks,
John

is it possible to set a group of text fields (in a subform is fine) to read only by using another field?
in other words, I have a form that a manager will fill out a section with client info, then "lock" that section and send it to the client. The client should not be able to change that information but be able to continue filling out the rest of the form and then return it to us. it must all be client side, no server will be used
I built it in infopath and just have a "password" field that our managers use to set a section to read only. it's not very secure, just a default word I set for all managers, but that security is fine for this

Select List with Submit - Branch Error - form data does not save

I am a new APEX user so please excuse my ignorance. I have created a simple application in which a primary data entry form branches either to a detail form (one to many on the parent ID) or a master tabular report used for navigation. These branches work fine. Then I tried to get a little fancy with a conditionally displayed element based on the value the user selects in a select list on the main form(P9_REPORT_TYPE). I converted the select list to a select list with submit and created a new branch (on submit - after processing) to the current page (Page 9) to avoid the "no branch found" error. To avoid the branch being unconditional, I tried to use the 'Request = Expression1' condition with the Expression 1 field set to P9_REPORT_TYPE. The behavior I get is that the page seems to submit but the data on the form is not saved -- even the new value selected in P9_REPORT_TYPE reverts to the old value. I simply need the page data to submit so that the conditionally displayed element will take effect (which it does if you use one of the other button-based branches and then return to the form). Do I have the syntax wrong? It seems like this should be straightforward but I've tried a number of options including using a PL/SQL condition V('REQUEST')='P9_REPORT_TYPE' with no success. I'm guessing that the value of Request is getting cleared before it has a chance to trigger the branch? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Exactly so! Thanks Scott for setting me straight. For the benefit of other readers, the value in the Source Used column had been set to "Always, replacing any existing value in session state" and should have been set to "Only when current value in session state is null".

Created form in Livecycle Designer 8, send to 2nd party to complete some fields, want to lock those fields so that when sent to 3rd party to complete cannot edit

I am a newby to this product and have created a form from a PDF. I used Adobe Livecycle Designer to place text fields in form. I saved, then enabled user rights. I sent to 2nd party to open in Adobe reader. This person needs to populate some of the fields. Once this is done the 2nd person is to email to 3rd person who will complete the outstanding fields and return the form to the second person.
How do I stop the 3rd person from editing the text the second person put in the form?
I want the second person to receive the complete form back not just the responses put in the text fields? Does this happen automatically or do you have to tell it send complete form.
Thanks from Sandra in Australia

How do you save the file? Do you directly send it via mail with a button? (If the question is silly I'm sorry, because I have no lincenses... so I am completly unaware of the choices you have.)
You need to be able to save a file Reader Extension licenses I think...
Probably you should ask for the fake E-Mailbutton, to be able to send it to different people one after the other...
Make an invisible Decimalfield.
The preSave/preSubmit field javascript...:
this.rawValue = this.rawValue + 1
if (this.rawValue > 0)
{Decimalfield1.access="readOnly";}
if (this.rawValue > 1)
{Decimalfield2.access = "readOnly"}
will lock decimalfield1 after the first save/submit and decimalfield2 after the second. Normally that should do the job.
PS: Another way to save the document and lock ALL fields, you don't have to buy additional licenses is print it as pdf.

Error in select list w/submit proccessing with IE

I have encountered a problem that is only IE specific. The page is a basic page with an Automated Row Processing to insert the form to a table.
Once the form has been filled out and you press create there are seven total fields including a hidden field (p173_model_id) that is populated by a database trigger and sequence. All of the fields in essence save to session state to the field following that field. So for instance the vendor_id saves to the model_number field. The model_number field saves to the status field and so on! This only occurs with IE though not with FF. In FF everything works as planned.
Also if you change the container Type field from select list with submit to just select list the form handles fine now in IE.
Attached are pictures trying both IE and FF:

Here is an update in case anyone else experiences the problems I had...
The SR request I filed was given bug # 5716829 I am not sure if this is published or not....
Anyway here is what the development staff reported back:
I have narrowed this problem down to the Read Only Condition on the P173_CONTAINER_TYPE_ID select list.
If you remove "DISABLED" from the Read Only Element Table Cell(s) Attributes, it works fine in IE also. So, the problem seems to be
with the way IE handles Select Lists that are DISABLED.

You may use that as a workaround until the fix is available...

SELECT LIST WITH SUBMIT NOT POPULATING

I have 3 fields; They are ID, Shortname(PRIMARY KEY), Longname. Longname is a select list with submit based on an lov (called system_longname description) that has a return value of ID. I need to select a value (longname) from that list that will populate automatically the ID and Shortname fields. This is the code I'm using for ID and Shortname, which are both text boxes. The view VSYSTEMS is where the lov is getting it's values.
'SELECT ID FROM VSYSTEMS WHERE ID = :SYSTEM_LONGNAME DESCRIPTION';
'SELECT SHORTNAME FROM VSYSTEMS WHERE ID = :SYSTEM_LONGNAME DESCRIPTION';
Can anyone help me? I keep getting these error messages: invalid SQL statement or SQL command not properly ended.

Matthew,
Is this a follow-up to Automatic field population by selecting a LOV ?
What is the purpose of 'DESCRIPTION' at the end of each query?

Date selection field

Can I add a date selection field?

Great, thank you.
One other question. Does the “submit” button located at the bottom of the PDF only upload documents to the cloud that have been opened in Acrobat?
I made a form that can be submitted to the Adobe cloud after clicking the “submit” button at the bottom of the page when the PDF is opened in Acrobat. However, the “submit” button doesn’t seem function properly when I open the document in PDF Expert on my Ipad. Is there any way for the submit option to operate in PDF expert, or do I have to use an Adobe app on the Ipad?
Thank you,
Dan Burns

Lock relevant fields.

Hi all
What is the significance of lock relevant fields in materialmaster.
The actual problem is:
I have made a field as required entry in material master. I have done the settings correctly. But i'm not able to see the particular field in the material master creation screen.
When i save the master data it says "Error in posting" which says that the paricular field is required. In the long text it says those fields may be lock relevant.
In OMSFIX the indicator for lock reevant is not set for the particular field.
I dont know where exactly the issue is.
Can any one give me some light in this regard.
Thanks in Advance,
Shakthi.

Hi,
Go to OMSR and check the status of field by clicking field selection group.arrow at rigth hand side of fields.it must be hide.
rewards point if helpful,

Select list on submit of another select list

Hi Friends. I have a two fields with select list. 2nd field select list field is dependent on 1st field select list.
My table structure is this
PRODUCT_GROUP_LOV_ID     PRODUCT_CATEGORY_LOV_ID     PRODUCT_CATEGORY_NAME
660                                     523                                           Boat, Motor, Trailer 1

520                                     524                                           Hulls Only The approach which i have followed is, i have created two item with P3141_PRODUCT_GROUP_LOV_ID and P3141_PRODUCT_CATEGORY_LOV_ID. Item 1 has assigned an lov with select list with submit request. The list of value for 1st item is
select distinct PRODUCT_GROUP_LOV_ID d,PRODUCT_GROUP_LOV_ID r
from LKP_PRODUCT_GROUP_CATEGORYand the lov for 2nd item list of value is
select PRODUCT_CATEGORY_NAME d,PRODUCT_CATEGORY_LOV_ID r
from LKP_PRODUCT_GROUP_CATEGORY
where PRODUCT_GROUP_LOV_ID = :P3141_PRODUCT_GROUP_LOV_IDNow when i am selecting PRODUCT_GROUP_LOV_ID as 660 from item 1 it should populate two PRODUCT_CATEGORY_NAME value i.e, Boat, Motor, Trailer 1 and Hulls Only 2 HULLS. But its not returning the same.
Please help me in this regard
Thanks in advance

BTW, are you using APEX 4.0? Because there you could use the "Cascading LOV" feature so you don't have to do a full page refresh.
You just have to
1) change your P3141_PRODUCT_GROUP_LOV_ID select list to a normal one
2) set P3141_PRODUCT_GROUP_LOV_ID as "Cascading LOV Parent Items" in your P3141_PRODUCT_CATEGORY_LOV_ID select list.
That's all.

Javascript / Select List with Submit problems

I have a page (page 3) where I can either edit or create a record. If I am editing a record, the data loads on page 3 via a PL/SQL block. On page 3, I have a textual item with Javascript linked to it which pops up a new window. In the Javascript, I am passing three values to the next page. Two of those values (P3_ITEM1, P3_ITEM2) are 'Select List with Submit'. If I am creating a new record from page 3, the Javascript works fine and the popup window comes up when I click on the textual item. However, if I am editing an existing record, I get an error when I click on my textual link. Looking at the address bar, it is not passing the value of P3_ITEM1 and P3_ITEM2 to the next page. It does, however, pass the value of P3_ITEM3 (not a 'Select List with Submit') to the next page. Again, the Javascript popup works fine if I use the 'Select List with Submit' fields to populate P3_ITEM1 and P3_ITEM2 (i.e. if I submit those fields) and it does not work if P3_ITEM1 and P3_ITEM2 are already populated when page 3 loads (i.e. if I do not submit those fields). Looking at the session variables, it appears as though P3_ITEM1 and P3_ITEM2 are set prior to clicking the link which initiates the Javascript. However, the URL in the popup window says the value of those fields is 'undefined'. Does anybody have any idea what I can do to make this work or why it is not working? Thanks.

Hello Chris,
It seems like you are having some problem with setting/reading session state, but it’s really hard to pin point the problem without seeing any code. Can you post your two pages on apex.oracle.com?

Select List with Submit Not pulling % values

Hello All,
I have a tabular form in app and displays data based on choice selected in 'select list with submit' from Item, it works fine for values chosen, when i choose '%' I want to display all the records existing in the tabular form but instead it says 'No Data Found'. How do i solve this ? Kindly advice and help.
ex:
Tabular form query-
select a, b
from table
where a like :ITEM
Item:
Type: select list with submit
Named LOV:
select a d, a r
from lookup_table order by 1
Appreciate your response.
Thanks and Regards,
Senana

Hello,
You need to check what value is returned by select list when you select '%' in the select..
there is a field display null value as where you can enter '%' and return value of null you can enter 0
and then modify your tabular form query to
select a , b from table where a like :ITEM OR :ITEM = 0
