Sections in Form Construction

Hi All,
While creating a form, we will divide the document into sections and create them individually.
Instead of that is there any way to create all sections at a time by taking the text from word document?
Thanks,
Kiran

You can try the import/conversion of a Word DOC. There are a couple of different ways to do this. The primary method is to look in the main workspace tree (or the ribbon) for Conversions and choose that. The wizard begins and I think the top-most option is Import Document File. The next page, lets you select MS Word (DOC, DOCX) files. Note that the top entry refers to Word documents created with the Documaker Add-In - which the previous answer mentioned.
Once you have selected that you intend to to a DOC conversion, then click Browse to add one or more files you wish to convert.
The next couple of pages have various options, but if this is your first attempt, you might just accept the defaults.
You did not mention your version, but if it is a recent one, these steps should convert the document and would have checked into the library - if you allowed that to happen. You can then check the form out, or will have to load it from disk under the Forms category if you did not add it to the library yet.

HCMPF - controlling the visibility of various sections of Form

Hi All,
In my HCM PF, i have 2 sections - 1) Employee 2) Manager
Under Manager Section, there is a Mandatory text field 'Comment' , which should be 'Hidden' under Employee Section.
In order to make this field mandatory, i have defined it as 'Required Entry' under the Process Fields
If the field is mandatory, it will result in an error while filling Employee section.
I dont want the red border appearing around my comment field in my form, so i am not setting property as User Entered-Required in UI property.
Can anyone please guide me how to proceed with this funcitonality. I want to keep the field hidden in Emp section, yet it should be mandatory under Manager section.
Thanks in advance,
Aditi

Seriously? Those are some really basic HCM P&F concepts.
I will try to help.
First off....why do you have a separate field for "manager comments"? WHy not use the standard comments fields (current/previous) and let the framework handle them?
Now for showing/hiding sections of form.....several ways to do this. If it were me...
1. I would have the employee and manager steps in different form scenario steps/stages (personally I would probably have them in different form scenarios all toghether but sharing same form simply for scalability).
2. Define the standard field for form_scenario_stage in your form scenario fields (look it up in documentation for how to define this....I'm not spoonfeeding you)
3. Add the form field from #2 onto your form somewhere and make it hidden/invisible.
4. Use Javascript/Formcalc to reference the "raw value" of that field. Then you can use script in the form to show/hide the section depending on the value in that field (which will be the name of the form scenario step/stage.
Now.... for making fields mandatory, hidden/visible/invisible, open to edit/read only......that is all done in scripting and is VERY basic. There are TONS of examples on how to do this all over the web with simple Google searches.

Is it possible to copy and paste (or replicate) selected sections of a form to reduce form construction time?

I am building a very large form which will have the same group of question response choices repeated multiple times in the form. Is it possible to replicate/duplicate these sets of identical response choices (by say, copying and pasting)? Thank you.

Hi Ned, B"D
Thank you for giving an idea how to solve my problem.
You suggested to save a page as an .html in Word.
This is what I did:
1. In Word I formated title as Heading 1.( Formating-->Styles and Formating)
2. Saved the page as an HTML file.
3. When I pasted this page into Dreamweaver <h1> TAG was displaced in the source code.

How do I Section a form??

My form is broken into logical sections. I would like to break the PDF into the same sections, but currently the only breaks are PAGE breaks
Page1
-field1
-field2
-field3
-field4
Page2
field
field
field
I would LIKE to break it into logic sections that follow my form
Page1
-field1
-field2
-field3
Subsection 1
-field4
Subsection 2
Page2
Subsectiom 3
field
field
field
Subsection 4
The idea would be that if I needed to dissable an entire section, it would be easy as I could just act upon the section atributes rather than on each individual field -in- the subsection.
Is there an easy way to do this in ACROBAT PRO XI?
thanks

OK. This can be done fairly easily if yuo use a hierarchical naming system for you form fields. For example, prefix all of your fields in section 1 with "S1.", tso they have names like: "S1.cust_name", "S1.address", "S1.city", etc. You can then hide all of the fields in a group with a single line of JavaScript:
// Hide all of the secition 1 fields
getField("S1").display = display.hidden;
If you include an opaque button to cover all of the section (e.g., set the background to white and make it read-only), you can hide the underlying page contents by doing:
// Show the section 1 button
getField("S1_cover").display = display.visible;
In this case don't include the "S1." prefix.
Do the same type of thing for the other sections. You can then set up a general function in a document-level JavaScript to show/hide any section, something like:
function hideFormSection(section, hide) {
    // Determine whether to show or hide the fields
    var disp = hide ? display.hidden : display.visible;
    // Dtermine whether to show of hide the cover button
    var disp_cover = hide ? display.visible : display.hidden;
    // Show/Hide the fields
    getField(section).display = disp;
    // Show/Hide the cover button
    // Each section cover button is named: prefix + "_cover". Example: "S1_cover"
    getField(section + "_cover").display = disp_cover;
And you could call it like this:
// Hide section 1
hideFormSection("S1", true);
// Show section 3
hideFormSection("S3", false);

Opens a form with the middle part not the header section

i am using forms 9i.
i have a form (Form 1) whose windows size is 800X600 which is scrollable .
In Form 1 at the below (end) i have a button on cllicking which Form 2 is opened.
but Form 2 is not opening with the header section. it is opening with the below section.
Form 1 has the many item and at the end a button is avaliable say
employee Details
on clicking this button it has to open Form 2
Form 2 has the following items in it
Name:
Id:
Department:
experience:
Personal details:
on clicking the button it should open the form from the Name item right. but it
opens with the item experience . i have to scroll the form to see the header section .

Thanks for your answer.
ya i have given go ittem (Name);
its working. That is control goes to that item (that item is enabled as blue) but then as it opened we can see items only from the description field. To see the name field which is on top of the form and which is in focus(due to the go_item), we need to scroll up using the browser scroll bar. Our understanding is that since the forms is running as an applet in the IE browser, do we need to do some setting in any of the config or environment files so that the form will always open with the top of the form visible to the user? Please advise.
THanks and regards,

How to preserve a lot of work with forms?

It is a document with pages of text and pages of forms. We usually have changes mainly in the text pages and the idea is to reuse the last created PDF (where the forms are already fine).
We try to merge two PDF (just the new one with corrections for the main text with that one already finished)* but always the fields get lost! Or the navigation gets inactive!
The temporal and cruel solution:
1) Generate a new PDF for the whole document. (Loosing a lot of formatting already tuned in the last PDF for both parts)
2) Go the forms section and copy-paste the original fields from the last PDF to the new one.*
There is a procedure to mix two PDF with navigation text pages and pages with forms? *
* We tried in two ways but is the same wrong result:
a) Merging the PDF forms to the PDF text, or
b) Merging the PDF text to the PDF forms
** As the problem is not manage forms with slight changes: the old trick of generate a new PDF for the reformed pages to instantly preserve the field is useless here.

on this one...
many things may be said, most of them irregular:
1. Mixed documents with pages of text and forms are a trouble when a menu navigation is involved.
[Replacing pages or big sections is a big problem. Navigation gets lost, fields also, etc.]
2. The trick of working then separately is valid when navigation is not included. Otherwise a collusion is always present.
3. Some pages never can be replaced. Content pages, for example.
[Page numbers links get lost.]
4. Other pages (chapters, for example) – as they are part of linked relation in the content page – cannot be replaced.
[Link get lost.]
5. Content page cannot be edited.
[Some links get lost, other no.]
6. Weird things are daily surprises as the examples showed above. Some part of that navigation menus will be lost past or will not work.
No way using Tomaxxi clever script. It demands a lot of time building up the fields.
Again, is not a problem of replacing minor changes in forms. Is changin entire sections.
The method to solve this points is always the same: make a new PDF and go to the section of forms and copy-paste the field based in an old PDF already fine: a demanding waste of times.
[This old and nice PDF cannot be replaced, inserted or changed in the new PDF at least you will face the problems mentioned above.]

How to tag a Print PDF form ?

Hi,
I need some pointers on how to tag a print PDF form. For one of the requirements, we developed a Print PDF form. The form contains Sub-forms which are made to look like a table. The relevant parameter(i.e., pdf_tagged ) is already set before starting the Job. The special case here is that the table gets the text for the header from the application data and shrinks or grows(upto a max supported column count) according to application data. For the same reason we cannot have a table, header row and body row marked in the accessibility tab in the form development transaction. Also, it is required that a header has to be visible.
So currently in the form :
1)We have just a set of sub-forms made to look like a table.
2)We do not have any table,header or body row identified in the accesibility tab.
3)Table also grows and shrinks horizontally.
4)First row of the table is made to look like a Header row(bold text) and gets the data from the application data.
5)This PDF is then displayed in a popup.
6)The PDF form is currently not tagged (not accessible).
Any pointers on how to resolve the issue would be highly appreciated.
Best regards,
Abhay

Forms 11g PLSQL Library

I have a Forms 11gR2 application that I have upgraded from Forms 10gR2. The forms have plsql libraries attached, I needed to modify 1 of the libraries but for some reason the form is still getting the old version of the library instead of the new version. I have de-attached the library from the form and reattached it (saved & recompiled) but it is not picking up the new version of the library. When I run the form locally with the debugger the old source is displayed in the PL/SQL Libraries section of Form Builder even though that version doesn't exist anymore.
Does anyone know how to get changes in a library to be recognized?

Web ADI Create Document - Short Cut Save to Form Function Grayed Out

How do I "ungray" Save to Form Function to allow a save?

Only GL and Desktop ADI
Oracle on Demand Customer - does not give us SysAdmin Responsiblities
We have:
Applicatin Adiministrator does not have Application> Funcitons
Application Developer has Application>Forms and Function
Setup Web ADI super user menu with Create Documents, Define Layout, Define Mapping, Manage Documents
Setup options and "Hidden" Enter Journals
Thanks for you help,
Dale

I still have no response or answers
Refer the section "Creating Form Functions Using the Create Document Page Flow" in Oracle Web Applications Desktop Integrator Implementation and Administration Guide. User to have system administrator responsibility assigned to have this feature enabled as this is a SysAdmin task.
THE BIG QUESTION - since "Oracle on Demand" will not allow their users to have System Administrator, how can I add the required functionality to the supplied Application Administrator and resolve the questions below?
Problem Description:
Web ADI – Create Document, Save to Form Function is grayed out, therefore it can not be used
1. How do we enable Web ADI functionality to Create document and Save to Form Function?
2. Once saved to form function how to we navigate to Application>Functions?
3. Once the Short cut is saved to the Form Function, how do we attach to a user’s responsibility?
We have only Application Administrator with no Applications> Functions menu, however we do have in our test instance Application Developer with Applications>Forms and Functions, but it does not appear to have the same rights as SysAdmin. I tried adding the menu functions simular to SysAdmin to Application Administrator but no luck unlocking (ungraying) the form.

Calling APEX form with dynamic parameters from Oracle Apps 11.5.8

I have successfully managed to setup access to APEX forms from Oracle Apps 11.5.8 menus utilising Form Functions passing a number of hardcoded parameter values as outlined in the document, http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/pdf/Extend_Oracle_Applications_11i.pdf.
I am now trying to ZOOM from an Oracle Form passing values of form items (dynamic parameters) to an APEX form. I have so far not been able to do this.
I've also tried using;
web.show_document('http://derep.obup.co.uk:4657/pls/apex/f?p=100:1::::::p1_cust_account_id:'||name_in('ast_cu_act.account_id')||':', '_TOP');
but this prompts for a username/password again as this bypasses the APEX Launch process that is defined in my Form Function.
Is this possible in the parameters section of Form Functions? or elsewhere.

Naeem

Hi Daan
We do havea couple of customers doing this, they have taken two approaches:
1. Install XMLP on a separate server entirely - kick off conc request to extract data and then use Java Messaging Service (JMS) to push the resulting XML to the external server where they are using AQ to set up jobs for the XMLP server to work through, generating and delivering the final documents.
2. Set XMLP up as a virtual printer - here the conc request again generates XML but this time the result is directed to a virtual printer namely XMLP. There is a perl or similar wrapper that gets called as the printer and accepts the data, template, output format and delivery destination as parameters.
Apologies for the 10,000 feet overview, hope it helps. Tim

go in your <forms-home>forms\server - directory. there is formsweb.cfg.
All the [default] - parameters are global. If you don't set a parameter in your own section, then the fallback-parameters are stored there.
at the end of the file you should write your own settings:
e.g.
# myConfig - this is an example for your own Config-Section
[myconfig]
form=myStartForm
imageBase=codeBase
splashScreen=no
separateframe=true
try it

Newbie for the life of me can't figure out where in contact.php you tell it where to send form?

Thx for any help.
I know it's got to be so obbvious.
Why would you send in php vs html?
<?php
if(!$_POST) exit;
$email = $_POST['email'];
//$error[] = preg_match('/\b[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b/i', $_POST['email']) ? '' : 'INVALID EMAIL ADDRESS';
if(!eregi("^[a-z0-9]+([_\\.-][a-z0-9]+)*" ."@"."([a-z0-9]+([\.-][a-z0-9]+)*)+"."\\.[a-z]{2,}"."$",$email )){
$error.="Invalid email address entered";
$errors=1;
if($errors==1) echo $error;
else{
$values = array ('name','email','message');
$required = array('name','email','message');
$your_email = "[email protected]";
$email_subject = "New Message: ".$_POST['subject'];
$email_content = "new message:\n";
foreach($values as $key => $value){
   if(in_array($value,$required)){
if ($key != 'subject' && $key != 'company') {
    if( empty($_POST[$value]) ) { echo 'PLEASE FILL IN REQUIRED FIELDS'; exit; }
$email_content .= $value.': '.$_POST[$value]."\n";
if(@mail($your_email,$email_subject,$email_content)) {
echo 'Message sent!';
} else {
echo 'ERROR!';
?>

Thanks. I'm working with different hosts and I guess thats where the confusion for me is coming in. In bluehost, I simply submit my form through form action to http://www.bluehost/bluemail. With the php form construction it 's form action is contact.php. Does this mean that the server I'm working with will uinderstand how to process contact.php and where to send it based on paramaters previously submitted? Or do I instruct the server via the php form? Thanks again

The reason why this is done in php is because php is server-side scripting. It's telling your server to do stuff. HTML doesn't tell your server anything, it tells the client (the web browser loading it) to do things. Only your server can send an email.
