Popup Data Entry Page

I see a lot of things about Popup LOV pages, but I want to create a data entry popup page. I'd like to have a button on my current data entry page that will popup another data entry page based on the ID of one Page and the I_ID of the next page, which works now, but instead of a regular page, I'd like it in a popup so that you can see both pages at the same time. Any help for that?

I just recently did this. The first javascript function I used to pop up the dialog. The second function is called from the dialog to close it
function showProjectPopupLOV(){
removeEmptyOptions(document.getElementById("P21_PROJECT_LIST"));
var blueprintId = document.getElementById("P21_BLUEPRINT_ID").value;
var url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:7:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.::P7_BLUEPRINT_ID:' + blueprintId;
w = open(url, "winLov", "Scrollbars=1, resizable=1, width=550, height=650");
if(w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
function backToCaller(){
opener.document.getElementById("P21_CONSULTANT_LIST").focus();
close();
.

Advanced table to create a multi-record data entry page

how to use advanced table or table OAF features to create a multi record data entry page ?
there will not be any master or header region. Only a multi-record detail region for creating records.

Hi ,
There is no such "multi-record detail region" , you can illustrate Master detail in OAF by creating the region in following order .
1 ) Page Layout region
2 ) Any header region(eg - message component layout etc ) - for entering and saving header level records .
3 ) Advance table - for entering and saving the line level records ( with add another row feature ) .
Thanks ,

confused ADF/Struts/JSP: Data entry page question

Scenario: If I have a master page, say department, and a detail for entering new employees for that department (say emp).
Page1: Browse Page of Departments
link to [create] new emp in this department
Page 2:
Emp Input form
If I want to display information such as the Department#, name, and location in the second page, what should I do?
a) drop a read only version of dept here, and do a setCurrentRowWithKey and an Emp creation action prior to going to the page
b) pass parameters from the calling page, and fire an emp create action prior to getting to the page
If I go the route of (b), what's the easiest or recommended way of doing it?

a) Seems like the best approach here

Multiple page data entry form

Hello,
I need to build a multiple page data entry screen for users
to enter information into the DB table. There are many fields I
need to capture and store in a table. Some of the fields are multi
line text field for the users to enter a few lines of text in a
textbox. But right now, I wasn’t sure which approach I should
take.
1. Use session variables to capture the data as the users are
completing the multiple page data entry then store all the values
at the end when the user finish entering all the data.
2. Create a temporary table in a DB to capture the data until
the user is finished then store the values in the temporary table
back to the real table.
I hope someone can provide me with some suggestions on this.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

It depends on how you want to handle:
User fills out first couple of pages only. He may or may not
come back.
User fills out a couple of pages and then uses browser to go
back to page 1, which he changes and resubmits.

Passing values in "Date Entry" items to called page

I have a page with:
o 2 Date Entry fields (P1500_BEGINDATE & P1500_ENDDATE).
o A "Submit" button, P1500_SUBMIT_DATE_RANGE
I want to use the 2 dates in a query on a linked page, called by the Submit button. I've setup 2 hidden Date Fields on the 2nd page, hoping I could stuff the dates into them, and grab them from there for the query.
I'm sure I'm making this much harder than it hasta be... but for the life of me, I can't get the dates from the 1st page to the 2nd.
Please let me know the easiest way to accomplish this (I've tried all of the hard ones that don't work... ;o)
Thanks!
Mark

Mark: You don't need hidden fields.
When you submit the page using the Submit button, the P1500_BEGINDATE (you really have 1500 pages in your app?!) and P1500_ENDDATE items are saved into session state and are available on any other page to be used as you need.

Bug report: Controls in the Data Entry property page reset when using relative time

Create a blank VI.
Drop a numeric control.
Right click and select "Display Format".
Change to a relative time.
Switch to the "Data Entry" tab page.
Uncheck the "Use Default Limits" boolean.
Try changing the values and you will see that they return to their previous values (inf, by default). This persists even after pressing OK and opening the dialog again. It looks like the values are held in a cache and put back into the controls, since if you change a page and go back to the limits page, it shows the correct values. I also managed to get it to display the values using the correct format (relative time), which I assume is what it should be doing.
This is in LabVIEW 8.6.
Try to take over the world!

Relative Time Data Entry Bug.vi ‏5 KB

I spent some time playing around with this in 8.6.1, and at this time do not consider it a bug - unless there is something I completely missed.
When you set to relative time, the inputs for data entry are expecting HH:MM or HH:MMS, depending on which display setting you chose. Typing a '7' is undefined - does the user mean hours? Minutes? Seconds? Parsecs ?
Once we type in a value that matches the format and we get the display to change, it is true that from now on if we type '7' in the field, it will automatically coerce it to 7:00, if we type 36 it coerces to 36:00. If we type 7.5, it does not change the value at all. I think at this point, the user knows what is going on, so this behavior is acceptable. After accepting the changes and re-opening the properties window, the limits are persistent.
I was not able to reproduce typing a '7' in the limit, having it automatically coerce back to '-inf', then going to a different tab or clicking ok, and coming back and seeing it as 7:00. It was still '-inf'. If you have some more details on this, maybe I can reproduce it, but from everything I tried, users are be able to enter values and these values are saved.
Edit - I am aware of the other forum post and the CAR filed there...

How to handle Select List that also needs data entry?

I have a few "Data Entry" situations that can I would like to be able to use a "Select List with Submit" but also allow the user to type in a new value. What is a method to handle this from the data entry perspective?
Example:
Database table contains columns:
ClassName
AttributeName
A new AttributeName is going to be added to this table. The AttributeName could either be added into an existing Class or a new Class could be created. If the new Attribute is being added to an existing Class, I would like to select the value from a "Select List" populated from distinct ClassNames from this table (this part works easy with a Select List with Submit). If the Attribute is being created in a New Class, I am not sure the best approach to handle it? I have experimented with the popup LOV and it is not a perfect fit.

Steve,
I have done a similar implementation in my app. I have a region with a select list with submit, and a button saying "create new data". I have another region on the page with a form, based on my table. If something is selected in the select list, I populate the form using a pl/sql block. If the button "create new" is clicked, i clear the form and allow the user to enter data, and run a conditional insert pl/sql.

How to select a single row in a report for data entry?

Hello All, and Greetings.
I am a newcomer, with no experience in Apex, and in need of help.
I have to generate a report with some read-only columns and two write columns. These will be the result of a SQL query.
For the sake of robustness in data entry, a row has to be selected prior to data update. The document specifies that a radiobutton for each row be present, and the corresponding row selected accordingly by clicking its radiobutton. There could be any number of rows returned in the report, which means that the number of radiobuttons will vary dynamically according to the number of returned rows.
1. So my question is, how do I construct the page to do this? Please remember I am a newbie, so detail will be appreciated.
2. Another question is, how do I change the fonts and colours of the names displayed along with the listboxes?
Thank you very much for your attention. Any help will be warmly received.
With regards,
Arindam.

Restricting data entry to a particular language in the form

Hi,
I created a multilingual form in which all the fields of the form are in a particular language . Now am trying to restrict data entry in the form to that language at the client side only . Say if it is a form in french, can we restrict the data entry to french only . The approach i was trying to implement was adding a script against the change event of all data fields and see if the characters lie in the range of the language unicode character set . But have not been successful in it yet . Can anybody help me find some way or provide any sample for it ?
Thanks

Hello, I'm German
Probably you can restrict the characters used for text entry, so for example ü is allowed in the German form but not in French.
But you will NEVER be able to restrict the users staying only writing French in French forms 100%.
1) You sometimes, not often, do encounter letters that are not typical for the language. (Though it can appear in any kind of word, it's quite regular for names.)
2) Let's say I fill the French form. I encounter a problem when I type in the word "Müller". This word wouldn't be French at all. The text will be delted and probably given an error message. Well... I learn out of this error message. Next time I'll type Mueller. ^^
(I knew several pages were people were restricted to talk English by forbidding letters that were not used in English very often... That didn't stop us violating that rule. The only error that really bugged us wasn't the restriction in not using letters that don't exist in English but the "please don't swear or insult so." error that kept appearing for ex. when we used the German word for "that" (= "dass"). They just didn't like the last 3 letters.)
3) Many countries have the same or include other countries unicodes. For example English could be written in the German form or in the French form.
4) You can't get out the syslanguage as far as I know. This would be a great hint which language the person is using.
5) I don't think you can use the spellcheck in any way... great violation against spellchecking could also be a hint for another language.
I know a quite big internetcommunity which did try to accomplish the same as you do. After about 2 years and a lot of experiments they stopped their efforts and were content by popping up the random error-messages warning that you don't have to insult, just like those other communities mentioned above. ^^ (Though they tried to restrict the insulting parts to the language used that didn't work out. Too many people knew how to insult in other languages ;D or which words were similar to insults.)
People just never do what they are supposed to do and are quite nasty finding workarounds...
My advice to you would be:
Don't make the effort.
Sorry for not being able to provide you with a solution, but the opposite.

Why do Chatropolis entry pages give "403 Forbidden" error on all browsers?

I've been running Mac OS 10.4.11 successfully since it's release, and I normally have the following browsers installed & working: Safari 3.1.1 (my default/first choice), Safari 2.0.4, Firefox 2.0.0.14, and the PC version of Internet Explorer (6.0.2) which I can run in Windows 2000 under Virtual PC 7.0.2 emulation.
Suddenly, 2 days ago, for no reason at all, the ability of my Mac to access any of the chatroom entry pages on the chatropolis.com website stopped working. (Please be warned - BEFORE you visit chatropolis.com - that it primarily hosts ADULT chatrooms!). This is after many years of problem-free access to these pages, using my current Mac, and previous Macs.
I can still access the home page, the user list pages, etc., but trying to access the room entry pages for any chatroom at all gives a simple black page with white text, which reads:
403 Forbidden
You are not authorized to access this resource.
The entry pages all take the form http://csX.chatropolis.com/enter/roomname
where "X" is the server number that the particular room is hosted on (normally "7" or "10") and "roomname" is the name of the chatroom that I'm trying to enter. For example, the URL of the room entry page for the room "Current Events" is http://cs10.chatropolis.com/enter/currentevents
I can access any page on the Chatropolis site that DOESN'T start http://csX.chatropolis.com/enter/....... but none of the pages that DO start this way!
This occurs whichever browser I use, and even occurs using the PC version of Internet Explorer 6.0.2 running under Virtual PC emulation!
I've tried all of the following to solve the problem, but nothing works:
I've tried deleting both Safari 3.1.1 & Safari 2.0.4, and then reinstalling Safari 3.1.1.
I've purged all the caches, cookies, browsing histories, etc. of all my browsers, both within the browsers themselves, and by using Intego Washing Machine 1.1 (which comes free with Intego NetBarrier 5). I do this purging regularly anyway.
I've restarted the Mac several times.
Using Disk Utility, I've repaired permissions on the boot HD several times. I've verified the boot HD, and no problems were found.
I've rebooted the Mac from my Alsoft DiskWarrior 4.0 CD and successfully run "Repair Disk Permissions" and "Check All Files & Folders" on all my hard drives, including the boot disk, and I've successfully rebuilt & replaced the directories on all the drives.
I've successfully accessed the pages in question using a friends Mac, who lives very nearby, and uses the same product (2 MB cable broadband internet connection) from the same ISP as me.
I've searched for all files on my Mac that have a modification date of 2 days ago, and deleted any that are in any way relevant to web browsers.
I've emailed the owner of Chatropolis (Michael Ludwick) and asked for his help. He thought that maybe I'd installed some software prior to the problem arising, but this isn't the case. He also dismissed my theory that my ISP might be blocking access for some reason. On the day I first emailed him (Sunday), he told me that there had been over 700,000 successful logins, and that I was the only person to contact technical support that day saying that I couldn't gain access. He tells me that "The error page actually resides on your machine so the src isn't important" even though the colour scheme of the error page matches every other error page on Chatropolis!
I now suspect that the problem lies in the part of the Mac OS which is activated when certain types of pages on the internet are accessed, whichever browser makes the call - some deep part of the OS that is normally invisible to the user, and has to function normally for certain types of internet access to take place.
All non-entry pages on Chatropolis work perfectly, as do all other websites, as does sending & receiving email.
Everything is bang up-to-date with Software Update. Nothing was installed or removed prior to the problem occurring.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be very grateful. I'm no UNIX geek, but I've been using the Mac OS since the System 6 days, and I know my way around it pretty well. I'd rather venture into the dark abyss that is Terminal and perform some sort of command line fix than have to reinstall the entire OS!
I've read many times over the years that Mac OS X performs housekeeping/janatorial tasks "overnight" from time to time, but I never leave my Mac on overnight. It's shutdown & restarted at least once a day. Is there perhaps one of these "housekeeping" tasks that has never been performed, and that should be, that might solve the problem? If so, how do I force these tasks to be performed immediately, to see if that helps?
Many thanks in advance for any constructive input!

Reinstalling Safari 3.1.1 appears to have recreated a fresh copy of the WebKit.framework folder and all it's contents, in the correct place. Needless to say, as ever, this hasn't solved the problem...
Hmm. Wish I'd seen your posts earlier, I could have saved you some trouble. It's nothing on your machine. It's a problem at Chatropolis. I am able access a page on one of the two machines, the one at cs10.chatropolis.com. But the one at cs7.chatropolis.com, while the server is there, and can be pinged, sends back a "404 - not found" response.
No matter what the owner says, these errors are server errors on his end, and have nothing to do with any settings on your computer. He's simply mistaken when he says they are coming off your computer. It's possible that he's confused by how Internet Explorer on Windows can be set up so that it will give you an error page that looks a lot like the same error page you'll get from a Windows IIS server. Or he simply doesn't know the technical details.
But it doesn't look like he's running a Windows IIS server, either. According to the headers on his servers, they're running something called "IFCS", which a little digging shows to be something owned by his company.

Date Entry Fields

Hi,
We are trying to improve the functionality of the Forte date entry
fields. Currently you can set the template to allow either 2-digit or
4-digit year entry. If you enter an invalid date Forte will display an
error message telling you this when you tab off the field.
Does anyone know if it is possible to disable this error message?
What we want to do is have a date entry field that accepts 2 or 4 digit
year. If you enter the date as 01/12/00 the system will assume you mean
2000 and display 01/12/2000. If this is not what you meant you can
re-enter the date as 01/12/1900. Is this possible with the Forte
widgets?

Jace.

Jason,
Yes this is possible. You need to create a CustomDateTimeData class(inherits
from DateTimeNullable, DateTimeData, DateTimeDomain depending on your needs)
which you override FillString and SetValue methods. Using template
functionality is not flexible enough for your needs, so the FillString
method will make sure that the Value of the CustomDateTimeData is always
shown a standard way on Windows. The SetValue method will have the
intelligence to decide on how to store the entered value depending on what
the user enters and raise exceptions when needed.
So when you use the CustomDataTimeData on your windows it will automatically
call the FillString and SetValue methods when a value is changed or
displayed.
Read the online help on FillString & SetValue for further details or contact
me if you have any more questions.

Allister

Hi,
Yes, that is used to set the 'watermark' at which Forte will change
between 1900 and 2000 years when 2-digits are entered.
The problems is we currently have our widgets set to accept 4 digits.
This means the user MUST type in 1-9-0-1 or 2-0-0-1. What I want it to
do is allow the user to enter 0-1 and then display 2-0-0-1, and then
overtype it with 1-9-0-1 if they wish, but instead you get the Forte
error message if you only enter 2-digits.
Do you know if this is possible?

Using an MS Excel like template for data entry into an Oracle table

Does anybody know of a way, or development tool, that has the look and feel of MS Excel but can be used for data entry and be saved to an Oracle table and be embedded into a JSP page? I am currently using iSupport and have a need to allow users to enter data into an MS Excel like template, once the user saves the service request I need for the values to be saved in the attribute fields of the service request. I need the ability to map the cells of the template to the fields in the Oracle table. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Data Entry Tab for Numeric Indicator does not Exist

Hi
I'm trying to set the data range for numeric indicators on LabVIEW 10.0.1. For some reason when I go to properties of my numeric indicator, there is no Data Entry Tab as explained on the NI website: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361H-01/lvhowto/changing_data_ranges_of_nu/. Also, in the data type tab, there is a section for range but everything is grayed out. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Hi
Thanks for the replies
I just realized that data entry on a numeric indicator doesn't really make sense. But my question is, how do I go about setting data range for a numeric indicator? Based on this tutorial : http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/320998a.pdf (Page 128/250) in the older versions there seems to be a data range tab or option when you write click the indicator. In my case, the range is greyed out and I tried to play with it with no avail.
Thanks very much

Searchable Data Entry Screen in Apex

Similar to Oracle Forms, how can I make a searchable data entry screen in Oracle Apex, where user can query the data on any field.

Hi Debraj,
The simplest method would be to create an Interactive Report page. Have a look at: [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e13367/build_app.htm#insertedID4]. There is no special setup that you need to do to get the search functionality - it's all part of the Interactive Report.
If you wish to use a standard report, the search functionality would have to be created from scratch - this is possible to do but would require you to create individual page items for each field you want to allow searching on and you would also have to manually update the report's SQL statement to apply the filters. This is relatively easy to do, if that is what you require.

Data entry form to submit to a web Service using webcenter

Currently using Jdev 11.1.1.3, but have potential to upgrade to 11.1.1.4 or 5
Most examples I see in the docs is using web services in webcenter is to display data but I need to pass data to a web service to process the data.
Considering ways to show on a webcenter page a data entry form to send the entered data to a web service. Potential ways:
1. Use Omniportlet that is based on a web service and define for each of the fields a parameter mapped to a displayed field. Submit the data to the web service to be processed.
2. Use ADF syntax to create a web service proxy. Create a form with the needed fields, code a managed bean that uses the proxy code to submit the entered data in the form. Place the form on the webCenter page, but the webcenter already have a <af:form>, so a partialSubmit and autoSubmit set to "true" might be needed.
Haven't used either and would greatly appreciate ideas and suggestions.
Thanks

With the omniportlet, you'll also have to test the form and so on :)
My suggestion is indead an extra step but it is more flexible than just creation a DC from a WSDL. I already have done some implementation in Webcenter for web services and i started by just using the DC from a WSDL but soon i noticed that i needed more flexibility. That's why i suggest to create a proxy and create your own layer in front of it. This way you can easily control what you expose to your DC and do some initializations were needed. It offers a great deal of flexibility. That's why i suggest using the proxy + dc instead of wsdl + dc.
When you should decide for migrating to Webcenter PS3, you can even expose datacontrols to your resource catalog. This way you can create your DC in JDeveloper and allow the business users to put the data controls on the page. a realy nice feature.
