Need to show DFF Values on Web Form

Hi All,
I need to show DFF values on Web Form without customization , is it possible with Personalization?
Regards,
Sajid

This is quite Possible with Seeded OAF page.
Check first if DFF already on page using the personlization.
If It is not available you can include flex item using personlization for enabling the DFF.

I need default values for APEX form fields. How do I do this?

Hello,
I am trying to set a default value in my form so that there will not get a null value. I have gone to the Column Defaults page and filled out the following fields in From Defaults:
Default Value: 0
Required: Yes
Help Text: Please enter a number.
When I add a record set or update a record and do not fill in the field, neither does it prompt me to fill it in or has a default value. It is blank.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
leh

Hi leh,
Defaults:
Click on the page item, go to the Default section, enter your value into the Default value area.
Validations:
It's not quite as automatic as you are thinking.
You'll need to add a Validation process for the item.
First you go to the Page Processing section, then the Validations section, click the creation icon in the Validation section. You will first have the choice to create an item level or page level validation. Either will work. Next you will select the item you want to validate. Then, select Item Not Null. On one of the next pages you will be able to enter the error message. It's all pretty straightforward.

Two default values in a form

Two needs:
1. I need to insert the userid as a default value in a form to know who made the entry.
2. Second, on the same form I want to insert the date with seconds precision..mm-dd-yy hh:mi:ss..
Can I just use sysdate and query my date format in seconds or does my date have to be inserted with seconds precision to be queried in seconds precision?

Hi ,
If you dont want data to be displayed in this report for this two values , then exclude this two values when you restrcit your characteristic to the variable.
If you want not to display this values when user opens help for entering the values where he can see all the possible values for selection for the variable, then it wont be possible.
Hope this will help.

How to resolve this?
Thanks in Advance

hi .
i needed to set default strorage location and plant in personal setting in me21n.
i solve it with this way.
go to program SAPLMEPERS in se38.
create new function in output with the sample name :MODULE ZTEST_001 OUTPUT.
in this module write:
if MEPOITEM_PROP-WERKS is INITIAL and MEPOITEM_PROP-LGORT is INITIAL.
MEPOITEM_PROP-WERKS = '1000'.
MEPOITEM_PROP-LGORT = '0032'.
endif.
this is the solution.
best regards.

Based on input file i need to update default values to some columns of database table using bulk copy process

Hi Team,
Am using BULK INSERT Format file option to load data into table from .txt file here am facing an issue i.e ibased on input file i need to insert default values to some columns of table so we can not declare it on table level, Can we give default values in
format file ? if we can give how it is ? or Any alternate possibilities to this scenario instead of BULK INSERT ?
Thanks,
Sudhakar

Thanks for your response, here i don't have any rights to change table structure the table is created by different team, my work is to load data from file to table. Is there any chance to supply default values by*XML* format file instead of *.fmt* file
please let me know the possibility.
Again, no. If you want to supply default values that are not present in DEFAULT constraints in the table definition, you will need to write your own code. There are plentyfull of options, and I have mentioned some already.
Here are some more:
* Table-valued parameters, see here for examples:
http://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql-2008.html
* Use BULK INSERT to load data to a staging table, and then apply the default values when you copy from staging to target.

A default value in a form

Hi All
I have a form that collects info from the users and puts the info in the table. There is one field that I would like to enter a default value of 51, as this is a field that will properly cause the user some concerns.
I could then not show this field.
I would normally set a default at the table level however this number can change due to the area you are accessing from. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
Please remember I am a new to this and need fairly detailed instructions.
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Silv

Hi Silv,
In order to set a default value ( in your case "51"), to your ITEM, edit the item and scroll to the "Default" attribute of the item. For the Field "Default Item", enter the value "51". Apply the change and run the application/From Page.

How to set a default value in a form, for a current record.

Hello,
I have created a form to store the details of an employee, details include employee id, name and lan id. I am wondering if it's possible to set the default value for an e-mail address. The e-mail address would be in the format '[email protected]'. So If I press 'create', I am directed to a form.
In the forename field, if i type 'stewart'
In the surname field, if I type 'Young'
Then in the e-mail field, I should see '[email protected]'
Furthermore, if I change 'stewart' to 'stuart', while still in the form, the e-mail address field is automatically updated to '[email protected]'
Would anyone be able to help with this problem?

Hi,
to do this you need kind of interactivity in your form.
You can achieve this either by:
1) using JavaScript onchange-events on forename and surname items, or
2) use the AJAX Computations option of ApexLib, see: http://www.oracle-and-apex.com/ajax-computations-rich-client-feeling/

Using select list as default value in tabular form.

Hi,
I am using Application Express 4.1.0.00.32. I have two questions that are related.
I have a Select item *'P1_SELECT'* and a tabular form My Items.
Question 1. The My Items tabular form col1 Attributes are set Display As Text Field, and the Tabular Form Attributes are set Default Type = item(application or page item name), Default = P1_SELECT. I have checked the session state value is set on P1_SELECT ie. Fred. What I need to know is, why, when adding a row to the tabular form My Items does col1 not display 'Fred' as the default value from the select item P1_SELECT? I can change col1 of the Tabular form to be Display as Text (save state) and this will work. However that leads me on to:
Question 2. After adding say 3 rows to the form, I then change the select P1_SELECT value to Bob and Bob is now set in session state on the P1_SELECT item, but when I again add row to the form the value Fred is still the value not Bob. It seems that the tabular form keeps the default value as Fred and not Bob. How can I get this to look or work like:
col1_
Fred
Fred
Fred
Bob
Your help is needed.
Thanks.

Howard (DBA in Training) wrote:
Do you submit the page or set the value after changing the selection? If not, the display value seems to be Bob but the working value is still Fred. That's what you are seeing right? In the "Settings" section, what do you have for "Page Action when Value Changed". I've been using "Redirect and Set Value" because I was staying on the same page after the selection.
Additional info which might be helpful (or NOT). ====================
NOTE: I am just a novice's novice with APEX and I had much agony with Select Lists. It was challenging to have the Select List value displayed because there seem to be so many different sources of the Select List value, namely:
1) the current value in the session state
2) the value you can specify in "Source value or expression" in the "Source" section of the Select List item
3) the value you can specify in the "Post Calculation Compution" in the "Source" section of the Select List item
4) the value you can specify in the "Default value" of the "Default" section of the Select List item
[Now, if I've misdescribed any of these, remember, this is from a novice's perspective.]
It's like putting a clock (back) together. Get any of the pieces wrong and it will probably not work right.
I had an addiitonal challenge in that I wanted the same Select List displayed on multiple pages and for the currently selected value (from the former page) to already be set on the new page when it was displayed. What fun!
To see what I did here: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=43250:101 login Dever/Ima9Dever
Remember, I'm doing many things you will likely not need to do. I iniitalized the Select List for the first time it displayed. I copied the Select List value from old page to new page by storing it in an application item F217_SYS_NIC_NM.
Best wishes,
HowardHi Howard,
You don't have submit the page for just setting one item's session state. you can use a Dynamic Action OR use Page Items to Submit property if available (this is available in various places such as sql region,chart region etc)
In context to this question you don't have to do any of those..just see my example above
Thanks

A default value in tabular form

Hi all,
I have a simple tabular form, and i'd like that if a certain field doesn't contain any value to fill it with a default value.
I tried to do it via default value attribute, but i'd like it to take place in a certain record in the table and not in all the records (which i can identify by a key, e.g. id)
how would you do it????
Liron

Hello Liron,
>> when i submit the page, it doesn't take the default value (which indeed appear on screen) but null
Well, if this default value is the only “change” in this row, it will not be updated into the table, because the tabular form mechanism is not detecting any changes in this row – remember, as far as the tabular form goes, this is the original value of the cell.
However, it seems like you want this default value to be saved, regardless of other possible activities of the tabular form. In this case, you should run the update prior to rendering the tabular form. You can use a before header PL/SQL block to do that. Using the EMP example, you can use a similar code in your pl/sql block:
update emp
set comm = 10
where comm is null and deptno=20This pl/sql block will run prior to your tabular form query, and all the updates will be reflected in the rendered result. Now you can continue to work with the tabular form to enter the rest of the changes you need (including deleting the new default values).
Don’t forget to change the tabular form query back to its original form. If you are using this technique, you don’t need the CASE statement.

Arie.

Setting default value of Tabular form item is not working

Hi,
I have a tabular form and in that I want to set the default value of the username to app_user. So in the default value of the item, I wrote v('app_user') and type Pl/SQL, but that does not seem to work. I tried the static application & page item with :app_user. That threw an error.
Also, I wanted to populate the date field in one column. Doesn't sysdate work?
Thanks,
Sun

Bob, I did read that. MY problem is that it is still not working. I am wondering if this is because the table is in execute query mode maybe? I am wondering if the default value needs to be added after the tabular data is populated through some other way? Maybe the default value would work only for static non database items?
ThanksYou're right, I just tested that using the default setup on the column in report attributes and it did not work.
I think you'll have to update the columns with the default value post query but I'm not sure exactly what you need to do.
I have a form that has a weight entry column. I tried changing the query to set the default value in the query
from..
Select Weight
From...
to
Select 999.99 Weight
From...That appeared to work, but the 999.99 value was not populated back to the Database since it wasn't entered through the form UI. APEX maintains the entered values internally so it can do its checksumm processing and update modified rows back to the DB. I'm thinking you could update what needs to be updated using Javascript in a Dynamic Action, but I'm afraid I don't know how to do that.
Excuse my incorrect assumption when first replying.

Setting Default values in portal form

I have a portal Master/Detail Form. I want to set some of the detail block columns value to the value of a field in the master block.
In the formattng option of the detail column, I tried setting default value to:
p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(p_block_name=>'MASTER_BLOCK', p_attribute_name=>'A_CLASS_CD');
and default value type to: function (I also tried expression). It compiles, but gives me an error when I ry running form. How can you set the default value (from the value of a differnt field)?

HI,
You can set the default value to value of a different field. The only way is to use javascript like onFocus.
Thanks,
Sharmila
