Can you mask a field value based on another?

In XML publisher, is it possible to not display field values based on a value from another field? If so, how can this be accomplished?
For example, I have a field value for Address Line 1 as "123 Main Street". I don't want the City, State, Zip, County and Country to be be displayed in the pdf output. However, all other Address Line 1 values should be displayed.
Thanks in advance,

How to use SQL import to set the attribute value based on another?

Hello all,
I want to set an attribute of a dimension based on another attribute (if matches). Let's say I have a dimension PRODUCT. And I have defined two user defined attributes MANAGER and ISVISIBLE.
Now within a PERMIT_READ program I want to set the ISIVISIBLE to true where the MANAGER Value is selected from a table.
Something like
<define a cursor c1 to select all the Manager values>
sql import c1 into -
:MATCHSKIPERR PRODUCT_MANAGER then <PRODUCT_ISVISIBLE (PRODUCT MANAGER) = true>
<etc>
Obviously the above is not correct. But I am stuck as to how this can be done? Can some one on this forum please help me with correct syntax/ approach please?
Thanks a lot.
Pxsheth
This statement assigns true to the isvisible attribute for every gc_dim_bu dimension (selected as part of cursor c1).
SO FAR SO GOOD.. NOW -
If I want to change the above so that the attribute value gets assigned based on another attribute for the dimension (say a flag). i.e.
Set the isvisible to true where attribute flag has a certain value. How do I code this in OLAP DML?

There are a number of ways to do this. If you want to use an attribute that has been defined within AWM as an attribute of Product then simply using the mapping tool to populate the attribute as part of the normal dimension load procedure.
Alternatively you could create an attribute at the DML level, and assuming you are not using surrogate keys, you can then define a cursor to read the relational table to populate your attribute. Something like this:
sql declare MKT_BASKET cursor for -
select PRODUCT_ID, PROD_MGR , PROD_VISIBLE -
from PRODUCT_DIM
if SQLCODE ne 0
then goto ERROR
sql open MY_CURSOR
sql fetch MY-CURSOR loop into :append PRODUCT, :PRODUCT_MANAGER, :PRODUCT_ISVISIBLE
sql close MY_CURSOR
sql cleanup
update
commit
If you want to create a complex PERMIT function using OLAP DML then personally I would create a formula and assign a program of type BOOLEAN and have the program return a YES or NO depending on the outcome of your test. Then your PERMIT_READ still references a dimension object. For example:
DEFINE PROD.ISVISIBLE BOOLEAN FORMULA <PRODUCT>
EQ PRG.ISVISIBLE(PRODUCT)
DEFINE PRG.ISVISBLE PROGRAM BOOLEAN
The program will then return Yes or No depending on the processing you need to do.
Hope this helps

Unable to filter LookupSet values based on another Lookup value

Hey all, I've got a report item where I'm pulling a list of values using a lookupset. The lookupset is working as expected, however I need to filter those results based on a different value which belongs to the same dataset as the lookup value. I'm trying
to filter on the tablix but nothing I try is working to filter. I just end up with no data when I know I should be getting one value. I tried filtering using a lookup and lookupset expression but that doesn't seem to be what is needed. This is my first time
really diving into lookups so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Bryan
(using report builder 3.0)

Do you only want the values where type = "Writing Assignment 1". If that is the case then modify your LookupSet as follows:
=Join(Lookupset(Fields!identifier.Value+"Writing
Assignment 1",Fields!Student.Value+Fields!value.Value,
Fields!value.Value, "Comments"), vbCrLf)
This will require that identifier matches student and type matches "Writing Assignment 1".

How to Prevent duplicates on Combination of Lookup columns in sharepoint 2010 using infopath 2010 form.

Hi All,
I have list with some Lookup columns like City, Pin, and Text Column Name. All these are required columns.
Now I want to prevent duplicates while submitting InfoPath form if a Combination of City,Pin & Name. (like a Composite primary in Database is used.)
Can some one help me on how to achieve this using InfoPath 2010 Rules, writing rule in Xpath.
Thanks in Advance.

1. Add a secondary data connection to the list where the form will be submitted.
2. Prior to submit via rules, set the query fields in the above connection: City, Pin & Name with values entered in the form. Query the data source and check if the result has values.
3. Show error messages accordingly if exists else continue with Submit.

Making a DFF field mandatory based on another field

Hello All,
We have a requirement where in we need to make a DFF field mandatory based on another field.
example:
DFF has two fields :
Filed1 : values 'Email', 'Fax'
Filed2
If 'Email' is selected in 'Field1' then Field2 should become mandatory.
Any inputs on this will be really helpful.
Thanks & Regards,
Satya.

hi kumar3a,
recently, i spent considerable amount of time wracking my brain on a similar problem. the nearest i came to a solution was when i used a forms personalisation. mind you, forms personalisation will not work directly on the DFF window, so it has to be approached in a roundabout sort of way.
i got this information from an Oracle Support personnel - MOS Note 1078348.1.
i would start with the flexfield segment as "not required", and then using Forms Personalization, i would make it "required". i would try to figure out how to establish a condition where the previous 'required' flexfield segment's value is checked to see if this 'not required' segment needs to be made 'required'. in theory, this should solve the issue. i gave up on it because the forms personalisation would need to cover WHEN-VALIDATE trigger event, and we had close to 100 validations going on through other preexisting forms personalisations, which rendered it near impossible to employ this method.
best regards.

Hi, everyone.
my version 11.1.2.2.0.
i wanna change 1 column's value based on another column's value that be selected.
ex: select 2rd column to 'A' , then the 1rd should be 'New Start'.
i used EL like #{row.bindings.MacdType.inputValue eq 1 ? 'New Start' : row.bindings.CircuitId.inputValue}.
But it does not set the inputvalue which should binding with the DataSource.
what's the best way to do these logic?
pls help. thx

Hi,Abhijit;
ex: the frist column is a LOV, the user select "A" for the first column, so the value of the second column should be changed to 'New Start'.
And the value should be binding to the DC, when save, the value of the 2rd column should be saved to DB.

How to Handle Blank Field Value based Condition in SmartForms

Dear Sir,
In SMARTFORM , we need to define a Condition that incase Field Value is not equal to BLANK value (blank means that field is empty) then a specific text gets printed .
Our problem is that We do not know as how to define Empty Field Value based condition .
Had it been Non Empty Field value based condition then solution was simple and could be done in following way :
Field Value                        R                     Comparision Value
WA_KZDKZ                      =                      'X'
In our case , we need to give Blank (Empty Value) instead of 'X' .
Kindly help us pl .
Rgds
B Mittal

Hi,
To handle blank field values in SMARTFORMS,
Go to the conditions tab in your SMARTFORM and give condition there
Field                Comparision operator          value
<Field name>      <> Here symbol is diff     space.
eg:
wa_mara-matnr    =/                                   space.

State machine custom task workflow how to pass one task field value to the next task field

i am using ItemMetadata.xml to pass value from list to custom task first value its passing the but second value is showing as null
plus how to pass one custom task value to the next custom task
i.e one supervisor approver comments submitted field i want to see on department manager approval custom task which is the next approver from supervisor
ows_firstfield=""
ows_SecondField=""
the above ows fields are from list
in this i am unable to retrive the second value in the task form this is my first query?
second query is that how can we pass one task field value to next approver task field value?
any idea
MCTS,ITIL

What type of workflow is this? IS this Visual Studio or SharePOint designer or third party (K2, Nintex, etc...)? YOu should be able to get ahold of the task that was edited via the correlation token, and then grab any value you want from that
task (wether it be a custom field or a standard worfklow task field).
It would help to know what you are using to build the workflow.
Thanks!

How to set field checkbox values based on another field

I'm trying to provide the user with the ability to check one box "Check All" which would then set the check boxes for a section to the same value as shown in the example. Anyone know how I can accomplish this?
Thank you.
Example
General Category A     [ ] Check All
     [ ] Item 1
     [ ] Item 2
     [ ] Item 3
     [ ] Item 4
If user selects "Check All", all the Items in the list for "General Category A" are then checked automatically.

You can create a document level function to check a series of check fiels as long as they all have the same checked value.
// document level function that can be used for many sections
function CheckAll(aFields, sChecked) {
// test to see Check All box for being checked
// and if checked set to aFields to checked value
// otherwise clear fields
if(this.getField(event.target.name).value == 'Off') {
// field unchecked
this.resetForm(aFields); // clear the fields
// end box not checked
} else {
// check all box has been checked
// loop through the fields to check
for (i = 0; i < aFields.length; i++) {
// all fields are assumed to have a value of 'Yes' when selected
var f = this.getField(aFields[i]); // get field for element i
f.value = sChecked; // set to checked value
} // end loop to check
// end checked
} // end unchecked
} // end CheckAll function
// end document level function
You can then add a mouse up aciton for the check all check box:
// mouse up action for check all check box
// define array of check box fields to process
var aSecFields = new Array('Item 1', 'Item 2', 'Item 3', 'Item 4');
// call CheckAll function
// passing the array list of field names and checked value
CheckAll(aSecFields, 'Yes');
or you can use 1 line of executable code:
// mouse up action for check all check box
// call CheckAll function
// passing the array list of field names and checked value
CheckAll(['Item 1', 'Item 2', 'Item 3', 'Item 4'], 'Yes');

Range based Flex field validation based on a Lookup table

Hi all,
I am trying to create a validation in one of the flex field under HRMS Application. Table: PAY_ELEMENT_ENTRIES_F
Validation is pretty simple - but i am struggling to implement.
Assume there exists two flex fields;
Field1 contains State Information
Field2 contains Percentage Information
The above two values would be entered by the user.
the validation should be like this.
Field1 - State code entered by User
Field2 - We have a seperate Lookup where we have setup lots of State specific information. Assume ATTRIBUTE3 and ATTRIBUTE4 defines the Min and Max range which would be configured during the Setup. User should be entering any percentage value between the ATTRIBUTE3 and ATTRIBUTE4.
I have created a Table Validaiton with select 1 from dual with the following where clause.
exists ( select null from fnd_common_lookups l, fnd_sessions sess
where
l.lookup_type like 'CUSTOM_US_STATE_RULES'
and sess.session_id= userenv('sessionid')
and sess.effective_date between l.start_date_active
and NVL(l.end_date_active, sess.effective_date)
*and l.attribute1 ='01' -- consider 01 state alone for the time being*
and :$FLEX$.ENTRY_INFORMATION4 between to_number(l.attribute4) and to_number(l.attribute5)
When i compile the flexfileld, it errors out stating invalid reference to ENTRY_INFORMATION4.
ENTRY_INFORMATION4 is the field where i am going to attach this validation
How do i validate a value of the flexfield against the range of values available in another table(in this case a lookup table) ?
Any ideas on how to implement this.
Edited by: vaibhav468 on Sep 29, 2008 3:05 PM

Thanks so much for the reply. apparently the solution which you have suggested may not work 100% as the data entry also happens via API. Its mentioned in the doc that the special validations happen only via Forms.
But I implemented it in a crude way. But it works though !!!!
Based on the value which i enter in the first Field1, the value set which i am using it in second Field2(its a table based value set)
I generated all possible percentages and displaying it.
My table is: (select trim(to_char(rownum/100,'990D99')) pct from fnd_columns a where rownum<=10000) a, fnd_common_lookups l
My Where clause:
where l.lookup_type='CUSTOM_US_STATE_RULES'
and l.attribute1=substr(:ENTRY.USER_ENTRY4,1,2)
and a.pct between l.attribute4 and l.attribute5
I generated the set of sequence numbers with the help of rownum from a table which definitely contains more than 10000 rows.
I was so glad that FND allowed me to use a INLINE view in the Validation Table not restricting the tables available for that application alone.
thanks again.

How do I get a field to automatically select a value and change color based on another automatic field?

Here is the situation:
I have a row on a form called Finding Risk Rating. In this row are four fields: Probability, Severity, Risk Rating, Color.
Probability is a drop down menu with the following values: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Severity is a drop down menu with the following values: A, B, C, D, E
Risk Rating is a field that I have a custom calculation script:
var riskRating = this.getField("Probability").value+this.getField("Severity").value;
event.value = riskRating;
So, when I pick Probability = 1 and Severity = D, Risk Rating will automatically change to 1D, etc. This works fine on the surface as far as I can tell.
The part where I am stuck, is the fourth field Color.
Ideally, I want Color to be automatically populated depending on the value of Risk Rating. For example, for 1E I would want it to say "YELLOW" and the field to change color to yellow. For 1A it would be "GREEN" with the color green, etc.
I tried doing an if else for all cases, but it never refreshes to the correct value. I then checked using app.alert to see what fields riskRating and colorRank are (see code below), and I noticed that riskRating never changes, even though the value in Risk Rating changes. Is there a way to order script(s) so that if I execute one, the other will follow? I'm new to scripting for forms and haven't done any programming in 10+ years, so feel free to rip my code in favor or something more efficient, or direct me to a good resource I can learn from.
Here's the basis of what I have for scripting on Color. It's brief because I wanted to test it out before writing every 'if else' statement.
var colorRank;
var riskRating = this.getField("Risk Rating").value;
if (riskRating = "1E") colorRank = "YELLOW";
else if (riskRating = "1A") colorRank = "GREEN";
else if (riskRating = "5A") colorRank = "RED";
event.value = colorRank;
app.alert("colorRank = " + colorRank + ", riskRating = " + riskRating);
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

One problem is if more than one combo box item has the same number associated with it, you cannot simply set the export value to the corresponding number since they need to be unique (or the user interface behaves weird). One thing you can do is set up an object to associate a list item with a value, and look up the value in code when a list item is selected.
For more information, see: http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2007/js_list_combo_livecycle

Creating value set and restricting values based on operaing unit retrieved

I am creating a value set to retrieve inventory org's from org_organization_definitions table. I want to restrict the values based on the operating unit i retrieve from profile options.
How do i write it as a syntax while creating the value set at front end?
can you help me?

Hi Ivruksha,
Thank you for your reply! Here are more details:
We display the accounting flex for each segment in an ADF application we create. We query Fnd_Flex_Values_Vl to find the possible segment values for each segment. The customer has a use case, in EBS, there are two operating units A and B. Both A and B use the same independent flex value set for a key flex field but they display different segment values based on the given operating unit. We need to replicate this behavior in our form to be able to filter the segment values based on the operating unit.
We set the MOAC policy context to a single org so it will only show data from the specified org id. But for segment lookup, it still returns the same list of segment values for both operating units.
