Pre-populate Department Fields

I have created an EPT that is tied to a specific department and have custom fields for this department. When I create the new EPT for my department, why is it that I need to choose the department in the Project Details page in order for it to display the
custom fields I created for my department? I would have assumed that the EPT department will be preset, so I wouldn't have to choose the Project Department to display the custom fields.
Does anyone know if there is a way to have the EPT's department roll over to the Project Department field when creating the new Project?
Thanks.

Hi Brian,
I'm not sure to get your point. If you have a department drop-down list in one of your PDPs, this is because you configured it as is. Meaning that choosing a specific department will display/hide custom fields associated/not associated with the selected
department.
Then EPTs associated with deparments will trigger which EPTs the users will see in the project cetner / new button based on their own department.
If you configured correctly departement versus EPT, custom fields and resources, users will only see EPT associated to their departments with the corresponding custom fields.

Use formsweb.cfg to pre-populate database field on login screen?

Hello,
Is it possible to configure formsweb.cfg to pre-populate the 'Database' field on the Oracle forms login screen? I still want users to be able to overwrite what's entered there but just have it populated with something by default.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi,
In Forms 10g you can set the userid parameter to something like "@DATABASEID LOGON_SCREEN=YES", where databaseid is your database server.
In Forms 11g this doesn't work so well, but I got round this by doing the following in our menu form, if you haven't got a single menu form then you may need to do this in all your forms where the user isn't already logged on when the form opens.
First off you need to set the userid parameter to something like "@DATABASEID".
Next an on-logon trigger is required in your menu or first form, I used the following:
on-logon trigger
DECLARE
cn VARCHAR2(80);
BEGIN
** Get the connection info
** If userid paramater in formsweb.cfg is set to '@<database>' or
** '@<database> login_screen=true' then this will put <database> into database field
** in default logon form
cn := Get_application_property(CONNECT_STRING);
if instr(cn,' ') > 0
then
cn := substr(cn,1,instr(cn,' ')-1);
end if;
LOGON(null,'@'||cn,TRUE);
if form_success
then :global.login_success := 'TRUE';
end if;
END;
Also, to deal with the situation where a user decides to click cancel in the logon screen, you need to put the following at the start of your wnfi trigger.
when-new-forms-instance trigger
default_value('FALSE','global.login_success');
if :global.login_success != 'TRUE'
then
erase('global.login_success');
exit_form;
end if;
erase('global.login_success');

Pre populate a field to use later as a filter for [ME]?

I've got a list containing data records which apply to different people. I'd like to create a filter that compares [ME] with a field in the list so when each user logs in, they'll only see the records assigned to them. What do i need to put
in the field to accomplish this?

Hi,
If you want to use function [ME] to filter a column in a custom list view, that column must be a "Person or Group" type column.
If this column value is dynamically assigned to specified people, we need to type and resolve the people manually,
If this column value is equal to "Created By" or "Modified By" value, we can create a workflow to auto update the custom this column value as Created by or Modified by value.
Then we can filter this column which value equals to [ME] in a custom list view, then create a custom web page and add this list view web part with filtered by [ME] in this web page, users should see the record items assigned to them in this page.

How to pre-populate a field based on a URL parameter

I have a lists of products (not report, standard layout) for which I want to create a SR for each product. So I've created a Web Link (which appear in each product row) to create the SR, but I want to pass the product Id to the SR screen so the user doesn't have to fill out the product field. Is this possible?
Thank you
Alvaro

This is definitely possible. I have a couple of documents that can help you with this. Reach out to me via email and I'll send them to you.

Pre populate field with integer numbers?

Hi,
I want to pre-populate my field which is integer type with numbers in a sequantial order like 101,102,103,104...
How can i do this with 10gr2?
Regards.

Actually i have two tables.
First table has ID1, NAME1, REF1 columns.
Second table has ID2, NAME2, REF2 columns.
ID1 and ID2 is autonumbered id columns. NAME and REF columns are emtpy columns. I populated NAME1 and NAME2 manually entering data from my project.
Now i want to relate each table's rows one by one, i.e., one to one cardinality. Therefore, i have to populate first table's REF1 column with sequantial numbers, and then manually enter corresponding number to table two's REF2 columns.
I don't want to use ID columns, because i insert data these tables at different time intervals.
Hence, when i query TABLE1's NAME1 data, i will see corresponding data in TABLE2's NAME2 column via this relationship.

Pre-populate Portal sign-on screen

Is there a way to pre-populate the portal sign-on screen with user-id and password ? We are in the process of migrating users to SAP portal, and are looking at re-directing (auto login if possible (or) pre-populate login fields at the least) them to the new site when they access the old site.
I reviewed the HTMl source of the portal login page, but did not see a way to pass parameters in the URL.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion !

Hi Srikanth,
You can send your user name & password to the portal as url parameters like:
http://<server>:port/irj/portal?j_user=your_user_name& j_password=your_password
Hope this helps,
Best Regards,

Combo box with multiple variables pre populating multiple fields and max value validation script help

I am creating a pdf form that will be used as a calculator, and my javascript knowledge is pretty rudimentary. I can do the simple things, some of what I need to do is over my head.
1. I believe I need to use a combo box to pre populate certain fields. I have 13 variables in the dropdown to choose from, and whatever the client chooses will pre populate three other fields (and each of the 13 variables will populate those three fields differently). I'm not exactly sure how to go about doing this. Is it custom keystroke script or does it require a document script? Also, I'm guessing that whatever script will be a series of if/then statements, correct?
2. Once all the fields have been populated (be it pre population or filled in by the customer), I need to calculate the answer which is not my main problem—I already have the proper calculations in place and they work. The problem is that the answer has a maximum value even if the actual value goes over that max number. So, the actual answer is 14 but the max value can only be 12. How do I get the calculation to replace that actual number (14) with the max number (12)? Is that in the validation tab or should that go elsewhere?
I feel like I know just enough to be dangerous but not terribly effective. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

1. There is a tutorial on this here:
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/change_another_field
2. To set the maximum value to 12, try this as the custom calculation script for the field:
//Custom calculation script
//Get value of text field
var a = this.getField("Text1").value;
//If it is > 12, then make it 12
if (a > 12){
a=12
event.value = a
You need to replace "Text1" with the name of the field in your form.

PDF vrs. XML Pre-populate fields in PDF created in Acrobat 7.0

After converting some interactive/dynamic templates from Acrobat 5.0 to 7.0 we can no longer pre-populate fileds, including the barcode. With the 5.0 version we use FDF to populate the fields including the barcode 3 of 8, but with 7.0 it does not work and we were advise to use XML.
We've been trying XML but can't make it work. Does any one know where I can get some sample coding?
Please help!

Hi Laura:
Can you elaborate a bit more on "converting some interactive/dynamic templates from Acrobat 5.0 to 7.0" and "pre-populate"?
If you were converting the template in Adobe LiveCycle Designer (comes with Acrobat Professional), then FDF import wouldn't work.
However, if you are executing the same action via Acrobat then FDF and xFDF import/export should still work.
Also, for designer based forms, you also have the option of merging the data into the PDF form using Adobe LiveCycle Forms (A server based product).
Another server based solution is to Reader Extend your PDF form to allow local import/export of data using Adobe Reader.
It really depends on what you want to do.
So options are this:
If your form is a Designer based forms:
- Manually Import Data (in XML) into PDF Form using Acrobat Professional
- Manually Import Data (in XML) into PDF Form* (Reader extended PDF form) using Adobe Reader
- Merge Data Programmatically (in XML) into PDF Form using Adobe LiveCycle Forms
If your form is an AcroForm (acrobat based form)
- Programmatically merge FDF data into PDF Form using the FDF toolkit/Acrobat SDK
- Manually Import Data in FDF/xFDF into PDF Form using Acrobat Professional.

In the OID Configuration Lookup table i found the manager is mapped to ldapManager.But when i connected to OID through ldap browser i didn't find this attribute.The manager attribute is not there.
So can you help me to solve this.
Thanks & Regards,

How to pre-populate fields for new entry in table maintenance

Hey everyone,
I have a table maintenance set up that I would like to pre-populate two date fields when the user creates a new entry or copies an existing entry.
I can do this by adding a PBO module for the maintenance screen but then if the screens are regenerated my changes are lost so this is not ideal.
I've also found that I can use the events (05 and 21 I believe) to set the dates but using these events I can not fill in the values in the screen so this is also not ideal.
Is there an event that can be used to pre-populate fields in a table maintenance screen? If not, what is your suggested method for accomplishing this?
Thanks in advance! I appreciate any help!

OIM - concatenate and pre populate fields

Hi,
In my iPlanet resourse Form i have a userdefined field Full Name. I need to pre populate this with firstname + " " + last name from the users OIM profile.
What do i need to do. How can i concatenate.
Thankz
Sanjay
null

If you add a utility task, the API is com.thortexh.xl.util.adapters.tcUtilStringOperations and there are 2 concat methods:
9 public static synchronized java.lang.String com.thortech.xl.util.adapters.tcUtilStringOperations.performConcat(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
10 public static synchronized java.lang.String com.thortech.xl.util.adapters.tcUtilStringOperations.performConcatWithSpace(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
Also, if you only need pieces of names, like first initial + last name + @domain.com you can do the following:
Create variables for first name and last name from the user definition and create them as resolve at runtime.
Using the same StringOperations API above, and the performSubstringLess methods, you can grab the first letter of the first name. Then using the performConcat to combine the adapter task for the first letter of first name, and last name variable. Then using another performConcat, combine the previous task, along with a literal of @domain.com to create the full string and set this to adapter return value.
This should return the first letter + last name + @domain.com in a single string to prepopulate the field.
Hope this helps.

Pre-populate and post populate fields

What is the difference between pre-populate and post populate fields.
How we test the pre-populate and post populate fields.

Parth, one problem with your approach is he will submit PDF and therefore you won't be able to put the PDF in a variable that's suppose to contain just xml.
The prepopulation should be the same. If you start off with an xdp, then you will call a render service that merges data with your xdp to create a PDF.
Now when you submit, you will submit the entire PDF back in the Document Form variable. In Workbench, you can use the FormDataIntegration service to extract data from that PDF that's being stored under Document Form var/object/document and put it in an xml variable. Then you can just use xPath to do your condition.
I'm assuming you'll just pass that same Document Form variable to the next step, because if you do any change to the PDF it'll brake the signature.
Let me know if I missed anything.

Pre-Populate field with a local XML

Hello,
What I want to achieve is to pre-populate fields on the opening of my PDF with an XML. It seems I have the choice between xfa.host.importData("filename.xdp") or xfa.datasets.data.loadXML(filename.xml,0,1).
I know Acrobat have a limited access to filesystem for security and I don't want to start a web server.
My question is Acrobat Professional have a default location to look if no path or HTTP address is provide?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply,
Ideally on MacOS 10,6 (Xserver). If it does not work on a Mac environment I can use Windows Server 2003 R2.

PP03 - Custom OM Action - Pre-populate fields on Infotype 1013

I have a requirement to configure a OM action via PP03. One of the infotypes getting created is the 1013 Employee Group/Subgroup related to the position. I need to have the screen pre-populate both the Employee Group and SubGroup values when this screen pops up. On the PA side, you can do this multiple ways. However, on the OM side, I'm not sure what way this could be done?

Keith,
I cannot access the system right now.
I can update you on Monday the earliest.
Let's wait for others' responses.
