Pre-populated in user create form

Hello there,
I want to have user create form that displays some pre-populated fields in Access Manager. I have added the new fields and can see on the user create form but I want to populate these fields with the values from database or some other resource. Any idea how can this be done?
Thanks in advance.

There are various ways this can be done. One way is to use a back-end application to pre-populate a copy of the PDF with the data and then serve it to the user, but that is quite complex to implement. Another way would be to use parameters in the URL to do it. That can be done more easily with a script.

  • Ascontrol - prevent pre-population of User Name field?

    OAS 10.1.3.3.0
    Is it possible to configure ascontrol to not pre-populate the User Name field?
    Our security audit has raised this as an issue. When we go to http://server:7777/em the login page already has User Name set to "oc4jadmin". We'd like to configure this to be blank, so that the username and password have to be entered.
    I've looked at the HTML coming back from the server and it's hardcoded in;
    input id="username" class="x4" onkeypress="return _submitOnEnter(event, 'loginForm');" name="j_username" size="30" type="text" value="oc4jadmin"Thanks.

    If you know where the orighinal html/jsp is, you can modify it adding autocomplete="off"+ like this:
    input id="username" class="x4" onkeypress="return _submitOnEnter(event, 'loginForm');"
    name="j_username" size="30" type="text" value="oc4jadmin" autocomplete="off"If the input is prepopulated from browser, this should solve the issue.

  • Is it possible to populate readOnly text box(es) on a FIM 2010 R2 RCDC User create form with the details of the logged in user?

    Hello
    I am curious if this can be done. I guess its a Person object I need to fetch, but how can I refer to it?
    What would the XPath look like?
    *HH

    Thankyou for the response. Yes indeed those environment variables are documented, but how to use them is not.
    Very Hard to use. I just wanted to show the Requester information on the User Create and Edit rcdc screens.
    I could only get the UocListView control to work though, but it is sufficient, like so:
            <my:Control my:Name="CurrentUser" my:TypeName="UocListView" my:ExpandArea="true" my:Caption="Requester">
            <my:Properties>
                <my:Property my:Name="ColumnsToDisplay" my:Value="DisplayName,Email,OrganizationalUnit" />
                <my:Property my:Name="EmptyResultText" my:Value="" />
                <my:Property my:Name="PageSize" my:Value="1"/>
                <my:Property my:Name="ShowTitleBar" my:Value="true" />
                <my:Property my:Name="ShowActionBar" my:Value="false" />
                <my:Property my:Name="ShowPreview" my:Value="false" />
                <my:Property my:Name="ShowSearchControl" my:Value="false" />
                <my:Property my:Name="EnableSelection" my:Value="false" />
                <my:Property my:Name="SingleSelection" my:Value="false" />
                <my:Property my:Name="ItemClickBehavior" my:Value="Server" />
                <my:Property my:Name="ListFilter" my:Value="/Person[ObjectID='%LoginID%']" />
            </my:Properties>
            </my:Control>
    This gives me a nice 3 column display of the current Requester's Name, Email and Unit.

    Hi V.Rangarajan,
    I haven't used this code yet, but herewith an extract from the SBO SDK Training material which I think is related to your problem.
    // create a combo box for the series oItem=oForm.Items.Add("SeriesName",SAPbouiCOM.BoFormItemTypes.it_COMBO_BOX)
    // fill the combo with relevant series
    oComboBox.ValidValues.FillWithSeries(True, False, 0) new method
    oComboBox.DataBind.SetBound(True, "@MATH", "Series")
    // edit text to hold the numbering of the series
    oItem = oForm.Items.Add("SrValue", SAPbouiCOM.BoFormItemTypes.it_EDIT)
    oEditText.DataBind.SetBound(True, "@MATH", "DocNum")
    // get the next series number in add mode
    lNum = oForm.BusinessObject.GetNextSeriesNumber(CLng(str))
      oEditText = oForm.Items.Item("SrValue").Specific()
       oEditText.String = lNum
    I don't know if this will solve your problem, but hopefully it will put you on the right track.
    Hope it helps,

  • Outlook window getting the keyboard focus instead of user created Form Window during Outlook Startup

    This MAPILogonComplete method involves creating a Form Window to show "What's New" of a certain Addin version (DisplayWhatsNewDialog() in the code):

    The problem is if the Window is made modal, it blocks the Outlook to launch and also goes back of the Outlook loading window (Whats New window will not be having keyboard focus). And if the Window is made non-modal (passing false to DisplayWhatsNewDialog()),
    Outlook launches properly and What's New window comes at the top but will not be having keyboard focus; instead the launched Outlook window will be having the keyboard focus. May anyone please suggest a way to make the What's New window to be always having

    Hello Prasad,
    The ShowDialog method will block the current thread. If you want to continue working with Outlook objects you need to use the Show method instead. The key fact is that both methods (Show and ShowDialog) accepts an instance of the IWin32Window interface
    which allows to specify the parent window handle. Specifying the parent window handle (Outlook Explorer window) to the Show method you can make your window shown on top of Outlook all the time.
    To get the HWND of an Outlook explorer  object (e.g. Application.ActiveExplorer), cast it to IOleWindow and call IOleWindow.GetWindow(). Also you may find the
    How to get the IWin32Window for Outlook
    article helpful.

  • User should only work on created Form

    Hi all!
    Here is my problem.
    A user is working in B1. For example:With a double_klick on a Textfield and a user created Form will be shown.
    No the User should only work with this Form until its closed! There should be no possibility to open an other form or so.
    Like if you get a MessageBox, there is no other "normal" way to work on until you close this Messagebox.
    May it is possible to let the Form act like such a Messagebox.
    Thanks for replies..
    Matthias

    The Sample you speak of show the hack/workaround (Not true modal functionality).
    From the sample:
        Private Sub SBO_Application_ItemEvent(ByVal FormUID As String, ByRef pVal As SAPbouiCOM.ItemEvent, ByRef BubbleEvent As Boolean) Handles SBO_Application.ItemEvent
            ' Don't let the user to move to other forms
            Dim EventEnum As SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes
            EventEnum = pVal.EventType
            If bModal And FormUID <> "Modal" Then
                oForm.Select() ' Select the modal form
                BubbleEvent = False
            End If
            ' If the modal from is closed...
            If FormUID = "Modal" And (EventEnum = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_FORM_CLOSE) And bModal Then
                bModal = False
            End If
        End Sub
    In the sample the bModal bool set to true when opening the form block all events by selecting the modal form on each event and setting bubbleevent to false.. the EventEnum = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_FORM_CLOSE set the bModal to false so events can continue
    Biggest problem with this is if you use a eventfilter (which you should do)... here you need to remove the event filter along with setting the BModal (not in the sample), and reapply it after form close.

    Hi,
    I think u are refering to the username, password, database field (connect string)
    here. If this is the case then you can use LOGON(username, password||'@'||connectstring) procedure and hardcode the connect string.

  • How to read User ID from the request Form and pre populating in the AD User process form before provisioning

    I am trying to read the user Id from the submitted AD User request form( Catalogue AD User form. I need User Id,firstname and lastname inorder to prepopulate the common name as in this format - lastname,firstname (userid)  for the user to be provisioned in Active Directory.
    So after filling the AD User request form with User Id and Organization and submitting the request, I am trying to
    prepopulate the common name in the process form before the provisioning.
    The prepopulate adopter for the common name is configured to read the firstname, lastname and userid. firstname and
    lastname variables are mapped to User definition and user Id is mapped to Process Data. In this setup I am not getting the
    User Id value from process data, it is empty.
    Is this a bug with OIM 11g R2 or I need to do it differently in order to read the user Id that user has entered in the
    request form for populating the common name?
    Thanks

    How to get USER_ID and IP_AddressWhy exactly do you need this data and what do you plan to do with it?
    The data is not reliable and trustworthy. IP addresses can easily be spoofed (a few seconds if you know what to do and how to do it). Also, IP addresses are not static. Users also do not use the same network device to access the database - different devices will have different IP addresses.
    The o/s user on the client is supplied by the client driver. This can also be spoofed.
    The user can also use a virtualised device - which means that recording the IP and o/s user seen from the server side, is pretty much useless and meaningless.
    So if this data is intended to be used for auditing for example - it would be pretty suspect data to use for that purpose.

  • Pre-populated PDF forms and form submission

    Ok, I must be blind or something, I've searched for answers to this question, and see unanswered posts around the web, and if there are answers, they don't help. Perhaps if someone can answer this, it will help many others as well:
    I've read about how FDF/XFDF (the older method) can be sent to the client side, which will open the specified PDF file (as specified using the "/F" flag in the FDF) and load the fields values also specified in the FDF (using the /FIELDS and /T flags, etc.). I was recently told that XFA is the new format, but reading the docs is not clear to me.
    QUESTION: What is the proper method to pre-populate the FIELDS of a PDF form (created using LiveCycle Designer, or Acrobat, or whatever) that gets sent to a client browser? Changes to this pre-populated data gets re-submited via an HTTP post button (or whatever) back to the server.
    Note: At the server backend, say using C# in Visual Studio 2005, I can simply read the posted HTML form and store the fields values into a database; However, I need to be able to pre-populate these PDF forms with selected patient names, etc., so that healthcare officials can complete them more easily BEFORE they get posted back to the server. These pre-populated fields (some of them anyhow) must STILL be editable (not flatten to static text or something).
    Thanks.

    From your description, is doesn't sound like it has anything to do with the virtual enviroment. It does sound like the forms simply need to be Reader-enabled. This allows Reader to save filled-in forms, which is necessary when you want to email them. If all of your users can use Reader 11, the forms do not need to be Reader-enabled since it is capable of saving non-enabled form. To enable a form in Acrobat 10, select: File > Save As > Reader Extended PDF > Enable Additional Features

    Thanks for your reply.  The radio button was placed inside the anchor so that when the user selects that employee, it will pre-populate the from base upon the "Action" selected (i.e. Edit Employee and Delete Employee).  I quite sure this can be done with out using javascript.  I know that I accomplish this by using a drop-down list, but I would like to use the radio buttons instead because I would have to change my code.
    Here is the  code with the radio button:
    <tr bgcolor=#backgroundcolor#>
    <td><input type ="radio" name="EmployeeID" value="#employees.EmployeeID#"</td>
    <td><a href="http://localhost:8500/spiderbytes/assignments/employee_details.cfm?EmployeeID=#EmployeeID#"> #employees.FirstName# #employees.LastName#</td>
    <td>#employees.Title#</td>
                    <td>#employees.DepartmentName#</td>
    <td>#employees.PhoneExtension#</td>
                        <td>#employees.EmailAddress#</td>
    </tr>
    Here is are some ways that I coded my form action is coded:
    <form action="admin3.cfm" method="post">  OR
    <form action="admin3.cfm?EmployeeID =# EmployeeID#" method="post">
