Make list of hidden columns scrollable?

I have a large and somewhat complex form being used for a summer camp registration. I would like to be able to hide a large number of columns and only make visible the ones for certain columns (or camps). I am able to hide as many columns as I want, but when I go to unhide them, I can't see the entire list of hidden columns. I can only see the list of columns that is visible in the height of the window - but NOT the column names that extend beyond that area. Is there any way to make this list scrollable?
Thank you.

Hi,
Sorry, it's a limitation of the application that the menu is not scrollable. I don't know of any work-around other than temporarily unhiding a number of columns to make the others accessible via the menu.
Regards,
Brian

MMS Hidden columns appearing in Document Library Settings / Column list

Hello all,
Before you read this please be aware that I have found a resolution (that might be helpful to others) but I am wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing and the cause.
Our scenario is as follows:
We use a Content Type hub
Most Content Types include one or more Managed metadata columns
The MMS Notes (hidden) columns (e.g. mms_column_name_0) have appeared on the 'Document Library Settings page under 'Columns' for 2 document libraries only. They appear under the actual name of the column (e.g. mms_column_name).
They are NOT visible to the user however (i.e. they are not selectable to be used in a view)
Looking at SharePoint Manager the mms Notes column's are marked as being Hidden = false. Altering this to true has the desired effect.
But has anyone else experienced the same issue as I'm inquisitive as to the cause.
The only thing I can think of that caused this to happen was us using 'Metadata navigation settings' (which allows you to configure navigation hierarchies) for the first time on one of the 2 Doc Libs effected . However, on testing it on other document
libraries the unhiding of columns has not occurred.
Can anyone shed any why this may have occurred?
Jason

Hi jasonl27,
this behaviour:
This is by design. Two separate lists do not have any type of relationship established to distinguish that the
columns are the same. For example, take an arbitrary column called "Position" being created on two different custom lists. Because the column Position is a custom column created
in the list, it has no mapping to other lists. The "Position"
in one list could refer to a title of a person
in one list, or a physical location on a different list. SharePoint cannot tell if these two items are the same or completely different. As a result, a new column name is added when we move the item.
perhaps you may try to do these steps:
$site = Get-SPSite -Identity "http://......../"
$web = $site.RootWeb
$field=$web.Fields["column name"]
$field.Update($true)
$field.Hidden= "True"
$web.Dispose()
$site.Dispose()

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize a table to display the list items.
We can write CSS to customize the table style(background color, highlight, hover).
The following is an example for your reference:
Code:
<style>
#TermList table {
border-collapse: collapse;
margin-bottom: 2em;
width: 100%;
background: #fff;
#TermList td, th {
padding: 0.75em 1.5em;
text-align: left;
#TermList th {
background-color: #31bc86;
font-weight: bold;
color: #fff;
white-space: nowrap;
#TermList tbody tr:nth-child(2n-1) {
background-color: #f5f5f5;
transition: all .125s ease-in-out;
#TermList tbody tr:hover {
background-color: rgba(129,208,177,.3);
#TermList .HiddenColumn {
display:none;
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(getAllListItems, "sp.js");
$("#TermList tbody").click(function(e){
//get hidden column value
var hiddenColumn=$(e.target).parent().find(".HiddenColumn").text();
alert(hiddenColumn);
function getAllListItems(){
var listName="CustomList01";
var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var web = context.get_web();
var list = web.get_lists().getByTitle(listName);
var query = SP.CamlQuery.createAllItemsQuery();
allItems = list.getItems(query);
context.load(allItems);
context.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.getSuccess), Function.createDelegate(this, this.failed));
function getSuccess() {
var ListEnumerator = this.allItems.getEnumerator();
while (ListEnumerator.moveNext()) {
var currentItem = ListEnumerator.get_current();
var itemID=currentItem.get_item("ID");
var name=currentItem.get_item("Title");
var email=currentItem.get_item("Email");
$("#TermList tbody").append('<tr><td class="HiddenColumn">'+itemID+'</td><td>'+name+'</td><td>'+email+'</td></tr>');
function failed(sender, args) {
alert("failed. Message:" + args.get_message());
</script>
<table id="TermList">

How to make hidden columns shown on Fusion Audit Report.

I have several questions about Fusion Audit Report here:
1. How to create Business Object Attributes, the seeded ones can't meet client's requirement.
2. I can see from the audit report that, there are 10 columns hidden, how to show them? someone said to export the report, then hidden columns will show, I tried, it is not working for me.
3. How to set date range as parameters.

Hi,
1. The creation of business object attributes depends on the customization options available to you. In summary it's really only Design Time Customization (JDeveloper) or Application Composer that permit business object attribute assition. Check out this document for details.
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E51367_01/fa_lcm_gs/OADTC/fa-cust-extend-intro.htm#OADTC157
2. Do you mean in the Configure Business Object Attributes? Does the View menu on the table not allow this?
3. Use the Date dropdown and pick Between.
In addition, please review the following resources related to using the Audit report.

How can i make hidden column in JTable

hi, how can i make hidden column in JTable,
basically i have a ID field in JTable, i have to use this ID , but i also dont want to show this ID in JTable.
any idea how ??

staiji its not working
i did this :
first :
TableColumnModel columnModel =
usersTable.getColumnModel();TableColumn column =
columnModel.getColumn(1);
usersTable.removeColumn(column);
then when i trying to get this :
Integer userId =
(Integer)usersTable.getValueAt(UserBrowser.this.usersTa
le.getSelectedRow(), 0);
it not give me ID column's value .
i have a column in JTable like :
ID | Username | First name | Last name
i want to hide ID column , but get this ID's value
when user clicks on JTable row.Hi, if you would read the documentation about JTable.getValueAt(...) you will find, that there is a significant difference between this method and the datamodels getValueAt(...) method. JTables getValueAt(...) method interprets column-index as index in its TableColumnModel - in your TableColumnModel there is no column any longer that holds ID values, therefore you were not able to get it by JTable.getValueAt(...). Do not use these methods for the purpose you want it for - you will also get the wrong values, if the user has repositioned columns - the column index is always interpreted as index in the currently used TableColumnModel and IS NOT A MODELINDEX.

ALV List only 80 Columns when runinning as background job

Hello Guys,
I have a Problem with an ALV List.
We use the FM REUSE_ALV_HIERSEQ_LIST_DISPLAY for a Document Journal.
When I run it in foreground it works fine. But when I view the spool in background the list makes a break at excactly 80 signs, but the line size should be about 120.
In the report the Line-Size is set correctly, even the print parameters seem to be ok. We are running it with X_65_255.
I saw that there are some SAP Notes to this topic, but on our release (SAP_BASIS 700) the notes are already implemented.
Has anyone a solution to this topic?
Thanks and regards
Roland

How to make list view the default in finder?

Is there a way to make "List view" be the default view for all folders opened?
I know that with a window open, you can hit CMD-1, 2, 3 or 4 for icon, list, column, or cover view, but I want "list view" to be the default.
I know that in some windows I can set the list view the way I want it and then close the folder, knowing the next time it opens, it will remember it, but that doesn't seem to work for encrypted sparse-bundle drives. They ALWAYS come up in icon view, regardless of the previous view it was in.
So hopefully, setting the overall default will help me solve this problem.
TIA for any advice/tips!
Steve

I could swear that I've done this before, in exactly this way, and it worked fine on my internal HD, but not on my encrypted sparse-bundles. But now it's working.
Sorry to have created chaff in the group. I should have tried again just before I posted....

Custom table model, table sorter, and cell renderer to use hidden columns

Hello,
I'm having a hard time figuring out the best way to go about this. I currently have a JTable with an custom table model to make the cells immutable. Furthermore, I have a "hidden" column in the table model so that I can access the items selected from a database by their recid, and then another hidden column that keeps track of the appropriate color for a custom cell renderer.
Subject -- Sender -- Date hidden rec id color
Hello Pete Jan 15, 2003 2900 blue
Basically, when a row is selected, it grabs the record id from the hidden column. This essentially allows me to have a data[][] object independent of the one that is used to display the JTable. Instinctively, this does not seem right, but I don't know how else to do it. I know that the DefaultTableModel uses a Vector even when it's constructed with an array and I've read elsewhere that it's not a good idea to do what I'm trying to do.
The other complication is that I have a table sorter as well. So, when it sorts the objects in the table, I have it recreate the data array and then set the data array of the ImmutableTableModel when it has rearranged all of the items in the array.
On top of this, I have a custom cell renderer as well. This checks yet another hidden field and displays the row accordingly. So, not only does the table sort need to inform the table model of a change in the data structure, but also the cell renderer.
Is there a better way to keep the data in sync between all of these?

To the OP, having hidden columns is just fine, I do that all the time.. Nothing says you have to display ALL the info you have..
Now, the column appears to be sorting properly
whenever a new row is added. However, when I attempt
to remove the selected row, it now removes a seemingly
random row and I am left with an unselectable blank
line in my JTable.I have a class that uses an int[] to index the data.. The table model displays rows in order of the index, not the actual order of the data (in my case a Vector of Object[]'s).. Saves a lotta work when sorting..
If you're using a similar indexing scheme: If you're deleting a row, you have to delete the data in the vector at the INDEX table.getSelectedRow(), not the actual data contained at
vector.elementAt(table.getSelectedRow()). This would account for a seemingly 'random' row getting deleted, instead of the row you intend.
Because the row is unselectable, it sounds like you have a null in your model where you should have a row of data.. When you do
vector.removeElementAt(int), the Vector class packs itself. An array does not. If you have an array, when you delete the row you must make sure you dont have that gap.. Make a new array of
(old array length-1), populate it, and give it back to your model.. Using Vectors makes this automatic.
Also, you must make sure your model knows the data changed:
model.fireTableDataChanged(); otherwise it has no idea anything happened..
IDK if that's how you're doing it, but it sounds remarkably similar to what I went thru when I put all this together..

I want to convert a series of names into a table (in either numbers or pages). The list I have has a name and then an email address in brackets, followed by a 'yes' or a 'no'. I would like to separate the list into three columns

I want to convert a series of names into a table (in either numbers or pages). The list I have has a name and then an email address in brackets, followed by a 'yes' or a 'no'. I would like to separate the list into three columns - the first containing the name, the second containing the email address and the third containing the 'yes' or 'no'.
Can you help me ?

The question that needs to be answered is what is separating the columns? Is it a single tab, one or more tabs, spaces, or what? Or is it the brackets that makes the separation between the three pieces of data?
If it is always a single tab, that makes it really easy. All you have to do is find/replace the brackets with nothing (as Wayne said)
If it might be multiple tabs, you can find/replace tab-tab with a single tab and repeat that a few times until no more double-tabs are found.
If it is one or multiple spaces, that might be difficult. I'll think about this one if this is what you have. I'll ignore this possiblility for now.
If it is the brackets separating the three pieces of data, you would Find/Replace the left bracket with a tab then do the same with the right bracket.

How to list a calculated column in Main Report from a subreport

Hello all,
I am using CR 2008 and I have a coulmn in my subreport which I was to list in my main report.
Let's say I have a main report which is run by item number and then I have a subreport where I have calculated annual usage of items and then I want to list the the annual usage in main report.
let's I have 3 columns in my main reprot item #, description and class code and then I am calculating annual usage in a subreport and list as 4th column to my main report.
How do I do that ?

if you just want to pull a value from the sub report you need to create shared variables
SHARED VARIABLES
Shared variables are used to pass values from sub report to the main report.
(if you want to summarize totals from a sub report with totals from the main report, you would use the following formulas to pass the value from the sub report to main report.
SUB REPORT
whileprintingrecords;
SHARED Numbervar X := x + ;
MAIN
whileprintingrecords;
SHARED Numbervar X;
X
Shared variables can not be suppressed.
Make the font white and the field very small.
They must be placed below the subreport to retrieve the value.

JTable, stopping navigation into hidden columns?

Hello,
In JTable I have done .setPreferedWidth(0) along with every other width setting =0; I did this to hide columns which are necessary but uninformative to the user like primary key ids. The problem is that you can still hit tab, shift-tab, and right arrow which will put the "focus" in the hidden columns, effectively 'losing' the cursor for the user.
How do I fix this?
I've tried using focusLost listeners but they don't fire every time I need. When a user starts editing a cell by arrow-keying over then just typing (never double clicking), then subsequently exiting the cell using the tab key or right arrow, I don't get the event to fire.
I've also tried a KeyListener, but this doesn't work every time I'd expect.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

There is a way to make the navigation keys skip the column with a width of zero, but the real question is how badly do you want to get it done? If you want it bad enough, then I suggest you override JTable's processKeyBinding method and for every navigation key (up, down, left, right, tab, shift-tab, home, end, etc., etc., etc.) check to see if it lands on such a column, if so manually move to the non-zero column in the direction of the key -- otherwise, let JTable's own processKeyBinding method consume the event.
;o)
V.V.
PS: If you are one of those people who don't like to go down to the low level, you can add as many InputMap/ActionMap to take care of these keys.

Multi-Row Hidden Column Submit Processing

Hi,
My attempts to select a hidden column value for use in Submit processing only works when I actually display the column in the report region. I want to store the column value in the array (htmldb_item.?????) without displaying it in the report region.
I have tried using the following htmldb_item functions: hidden, display_and_save, text. When I use the hidden function and set the column attribute to "Show" then the heading displays, no column data displays, and the htmldb_application.g_f01 value is present for use in Submit processing. When I set various column attributes to cause the column to not display then the column value is not present during Submit processing.
My code snippets for Region Select and Submit processing are:
"select htmldb_item.hidden(1, sac.student_acad_cred_id) q_acad_cred_id,..."
"BEGIN
for i in 1..htmldb_application.g_f01.count
loop..."
Couldn't find answer with Forum search or in the Guide. Thanks for any help!

Bernhard,
There are two ways to build tabular forms (multi-row update forms). You can either use calls to the htmldb_item API in your query. Or you can use the built-in display types. The build-in types are generally the better option for a number of reasons, for example, the built-in form elements are only rendered for the rows you actually show on your current page. If you use the htmldb_item API and pagination with several pages, then you would make calls to PL/SQL for every row in your report, no matter whether they are shown or not.
With the built-in display types you can choose the display type âHiddenâ, which will actually append the hidden fields to the last column in your report, so the array is there, but you wonât have to deal with column headings and an empty column.
When using the htmldb_item API, you should simply append the hidden column to a displayed column, e.g. select htmldb_item.text(â¦)||htmldb_item.hidden(â¦) [column alias], â¦ from â¦
Hope this helps
Marc

Apex_application.g_f01 picking up value of hidden column

i have a report with a apex_item.checkbox using the id 1 and a hidden column. for some reason my pl/sql code that loops through apex_application.g_f01 picks up the value of the hidden column as well. why is this? is this a known bug?
i managed to get my code working by using id 2.

report code
select ename,
apex_item.checkbox(1,ename,null) sel,
'RED' COLOUR
from emp
order by ename
process
FOR I in 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP
//i insert into a test table to view results
END LOOP;
the above works fine until i change the COLOUR column from a standard column to a hidden column. Then for some reason the apex_application.g_f01 then includes the values of all ticked boxes plus all the values in the COLOUR column.

Excel Upload with Hidden Column

Hi Gurus-
Can you upload Excel file with hidden column and get the function to read values in hidden column? If yes, could you please guide me how?
I am using ALSM_EXCEL_TO_INTERNAL_TABLE
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Have a look at program RSDEMO01 (available in the controls examples of the workbench). It demonstrates an OLE connection to Excel.
To know which excel objects, methods and properties to use it is a good idea to use the excel macro recorder - just do what you want your program to do and then translate the resulting VB code to ABAP OLE.
For the import of the clipboard data you can use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>CLIPBOARD_IMPORT. In the result table, iirc, there is one line for each imported line and within the line the cell values are separated by tab. So there is some work left - it might be a good idea t import the data column by column.
It has been some time when I did this for a former client of me - so unfortunately I do not have the code any more.

How do I get a hidden column to show in a library?

I am having an odd behavior on one of my site columns, and am hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this for me. I have just built a content type hub. Also created some site columns....I have one particular column (which is a choice type), that
is hidden at the parent content type level. I see this hidden column each time i view the settings of any content type that inherits from the parent content type. However, when I add these child content types to a library, I no longer see the hidden column.
I don't understand why this is the case.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Is this the way it is designed to work in SharePoint?
Update: When I view the inheriting content type from the hub, I see the hidden column. But if I view the same content type from within my site, I do not see the hidden column. Is this a publishing issue? Or is this by design in SharePoint?

That definitely does not sound like design. Have you tried editing the content type on the library level NOT the hub level? You should be able to set the hidden status to display within the Content Type section on the library.
If that doesn't work, it'll be worth looking at something like SharePoint Manager to open up the column and inspect its properties.
