Making a checkbox required?

Is there any way to make a checkbox required in Live Cycle like you can with text areas. The text areas have a field called Type in the Value tab called "User Entered - Required" but checkboxes do not. Thanks.

Hi Subhash,
Yes, you can get IWDMessageManager in the wdDoModifyView() method but as said correct by you, you can't get it directly as this is a static method.
You can get the message manager in the following way:
IWDMessageManager msgr = wdThis.wdGetAPI().getComponent().getMessageManager();
Reward points for the useful answer.
Warm Regards,
Murtuza

What else must I do to force data entry other than making the field required in LC 9 Forms Designer?

I am trying to make sure that fields are populated with data prior to moving to the next field, but it seems that simply making the field required is not sufficient. What else must I do to enforce data entry within required fileds?
Thank you,

There are a variety of scripting techniques that can be used based upon the form requirements, UI aesthetics, designer preference,... The script below forces data entry into a text field object called 'tf1' but it is a dangerous practice and should be used carefully. You may find yourself in a infinite loop based upon the tab order. A safer pattern includes global field validation upon submit.
// form1.page1.subform1.tf1::exit - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.isNull) {
xfa.host.messageBox("tf1 is a mandatory field.","Text Field 1 Error",0);
xfa.host.setFocus("form1.page1.subform1.tf1");

Personalized Checkbox Required but accepts empty value

Hello everyone,
I have an issue with trying to personalize an R12 E-business suite log in page.
After I have added a check box and written a security banner, I would like to make checking the check box required for users in order for them to log in.
I've created the check box, I've set it to required and you can still log in without checking the box.
It's my understanding there is something called SPEL, or it seems there is a method that is referred to on the forums as CO, however I'm terribly new to e business suite and my background is in linux administration and database installation, and I'm not sure what either of those even mean.
I'm afraid it's something of an urgent requirement for me, so any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
I am not sure you need to for SPEL, as he mentioned you can go for Controller extension and
in your extended controller ProcessFormRequest get the checkbox value if it is not checked throw a message to select the checkbox.
The SPEL is used mainly to get the value for the bean dynamically.
It is mainly used to render/hide , disable/ enable the fileds depending upon the attribute associated in the SPEL.
For more information have a look at the developer guide.
Thanks,

Checkbox required but not checked when sending a form

Hello,
I created a form with some required fields, included a checkbox.
When I send the form, the fields are checked if not filled in, but the form is ent even if the checkbox is not "checked" !
Why ?
X56

The required property of check-boxes is not enforced by Acrobat/Reader.
I explained in a reply earlier today how to make it so that it does get validated, like other fields. See: http://answers.acrobatusers.com/checkboxr-q127778.aspx

"Create new versions when making adjustments" checkbox - do I check it??

I have been using Aperture for many months. I'm not sure why, but I looked at my prefs the other day and the checkbox above was unchecked. Two important questions:
1. Which way should this be set??
2. Is Aperture still keeping the original separate from any edits I am making? PLEASE tell me that my originals have been kept separately!!! : )
Thanks in advance,
Erik

1. It's a Preference. It should be set the way you prefer.
2. Aperture never adjusts the master.
When you look at an unadjusted image in Aperture, you are seeing +Version 1+. You can adjust Version 1, or you can create a new version and adjust that. Or you can set the preference, and when you make adjustments, a new version will be created automatically. This can cause unwanted versions to accumulate. Or maybe they are not unwanted.
The Master is never affected, just the versions.

Making a cell required based on specific input in another cell

Well I am posting this again but I am guessing that nobody in the Adobe forum world knows the answer to my question. Maybe LiveCycle can't do this....
I have a table with 6 columns and 3 rows. 1 row equals 1 record of data. Not all the cells within each row are required to make a complete record of data. Staff cannot remember all the whne's and why's for each cell's data so I want to make the form interactive. If they enter specific data into one field then I want the required fields to highlight in RED.
Example:
If staff enter a code that begins with a "3" into the CODE cell, then I need the Location, DUp Svc, & SS cells within the same row to turn RED. I know this is basic but I am stumped and cannot locate an answer that is helping me at this moment. Any help - GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
Name
CODE
Location
Time
Dup Svc
SS
Joe
300
Sarah
301
Jenny
359

In the exit event of the code field you would put (in formcalc):
if (Left($,1) == 3) then
[name of your location cell].validate.nullTest = "error"
[name of your DUp Svc cell].validate.nullTest = "error"
[name of yourSS cell].validate.nullTest = "error"
endif
then you would put in the location etc cells in the exit event (also in formcalc)
if ($.isNull == 0) then
$.validate.nullTest = "disabled"
endif

IC Webclient - making a field required

On the BupaSearch View, I want to make some other fields required before you can successfully create an account. Right now Country is the only one. Country does not use the tag REQUIRED = "TRUE". Even if I do used this tag, it really doesn't have any affect except to put an * or outline the box in red. So I was trying to copy the logic that the field country uses, but I have no idea where this is done. I've been searching and I need your help. Does anyone know?
Thanks.

Hi Cathy,
You can try to have a method R-Getter (required) as follows -
METHOD get_r_brand .
IF get_brand( attribute_path = '' ) IS INITIAL.
    rv_required = 'TRUE'.
ELSE.
    rv_required = 'FALSE'.
ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.
And in the view:
        <crmic:label design   = "label"
                     required = "<%= ApplianceData->get_r_brand( ) %>"
                     for      = "//ApplianceData/Brand" />
But this code will also add a star against the label and the star will go off only after some value is input to the field.
See if it is still helpful.
Regards,
Abhishek !

Making Simple Checkbox column conditional

I've created a tabular form, one of the columns is ideal for the new 'simple checkbox' type.
However I don't always want to display that column.
Whenever I make it conditional (eg Never), I get the error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table key value
Is this a bug or am I dong something wrong?

I've created a simple app to illustrate this issue:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=21570:1
user/pass =guest/human
The app allows you to check each employee that is human (1,0)
The problem is that if you try to change the condition of the column to 'never' (or anything other than always), you get an error.
You can use the above user/pass to log into the workspace (pwright) to change the column and check that out.

Self Service Personalization Making a Flex Required

I have added a flex field into my self service pages for iProcurement/Requisitions and it is working fine. The user base would like the field to be required but we cannot require it at the DFF definition because that would break PO's for us. Is there a way to make this field (a simple poplist of 4 values) to be required in Self Service pages without checking it as required in the FF definition? I see other field types like a Messgae Choice and the like have a "required" attribute, but the Flex does not.
Any thoughts?

I haven't been able to get this to work. I'm trying to change the Returns form in Receiving to force the user to enter a reason code when they do a return. When does the WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD event occur? Is it when you press SAVE? I've set it up to give the user an error message when the reason_code field is null, but it's not working. It allows me to save with a null reason_code.
Thanks for your help.

XD01 - Making Dunning field required

I know that I can add code to EXIT_SAPMF02D_001 for this, but is there an easier way to make the dunning procedure field on XD01 a required field? Thanks

You can do this via SPRO. Here is the path:
Financial Accounting>Account Rec and Payables>Customer Accounts>Master Data>Preparation for creating Customer Master Data-->Define Account Groups with Screen Layouts (Customers).
Select the Account Group and Click details button. In the Field Status section, select Company Code Data and hit the Edit Field Status button. Double Click Correspondence. You would find Dunning Data there as an option with various radio button. Click the Req. Entry radi button to make it mandatory. Save and test.
Hope this helps!

OAF Personalization-Making a field Required.

I have a custom OAF page which has a Message text input field and is currently is a required field, Using personalization i wanted to make this a optional filed. But when i select that personalization properties, i dont see the option "required" and its values.
Layout structure: Message Component Layout->Message Layout->Default single column-> Message Text Input field.
Thanks
Vishnu

Vishnu
Read only property is not controlled through personalization.What you need to do is extend the controller of the page and in the processRequest of the page use following code.
public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
super.processRequest(pageContext,webBean);
OAMessageTextInputBean mtb = (OAMessageTextInputBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("Bean ID");
mtb.setRequired("no");
}Thanks

Making a Field 'required'

How do I make certain fields in my schema panel a 'required' input. I have the xmp documentation that discusses this but am unable to figure out how the implement this.
thanks
graham

The code below works after an opportunity record is saved for the first time. If a new record is created, the code does not work
We want to make the competitor product name field required if the competitor field is set to 'Acme'. If the competitor field is not 'Acme', then let it pass validation.
This code is in the field validation area of the Competitor field and the Post Default box is checked
('<IndexedPick3>'= 'Acme' AND [<plC2_My_Position_ITAG>] IS NOT NULL) OR ('<IndexedPick3>' <> 'Acme')
Any ideas why it would work only if the record has been saved?

Making the Dock require Double-Click instead of Single

Is there a way to make the Dock require a double-click instead of a single-click to open applications. It would be great if the single-click would still focus the desired application. The prevents users from accidentally opening potentially large programs.

Sorry. I meant that if an application is already open the single-click should focus it (bring it to the front) which is the current behavior.
It is two easy to open applications. I have IDE's on the dock that take a lot of resources to start and I find myself accidentally opening them when wanting to open Textedit or a terminal. A double-click would allow the user to correct after the first click thus not opening the wrong application.
