  • Creating cascading drop down boxes in SharePoint 2010 using one list

    We have a support request form tied to a list that end users input data into which when submitted sends out an email.
    Is it possible to create a drop down box on the form that limits the choices in the "subcategory" column, based on what is chosen in the "category" column.  
    For instance in the category column we have SharePoint, Oracle, and Web Tools as choices. 
    In the subcategory column we have items related to each category. We only want items that are related to the selected choice to appear in the subcategory drop down box. 
    I see examples in InfoPath using "Multiple Lists" (one list for city, one for state, etc), but nothing using the same list.  I would rather not use multiple lists if possible. 
    Anyone have any ideas?  Thanks.

    Hi,
    According to your post, you want to create a cascading drop-down list box using one list.
    To achieve what you want, we can:
    Create two fields(category and subcategory) in drop-down list box type in the form in InfoPath.
    Add the list which contains the values of the category and subcategory columns to the form as an external data.
    Right click the category field, click Drop-Down List Box Properties, and choose Get choices from an external data source.
    Choose the list added in step2 in Data source, click XPath behind Entries, click the category column in the list, select Show only entries with unique display names.
    Right click the subcategory field, click Drop-Down List Box Properties, and choose Get choices from an external data source.
    Choose the list added in step2 in Data source, click XPath behind Entries, click the subcategory column in the list, then click Filter Data.
    Click Add, select the category column in the list in the first box, select is equal to in the second box, choose select  a field or group in the third box, then choose Main in the Fields and select the category field in the form.
    Click OK.
    Best regards.
    Thanks

  • Cascading drop downs

    hi,
    how  to create cascading drop downs in vc
    i have two queries each providing data to their respective drop down.
    drop down 1 - material group
    drop down 2 - material number
    when i select value in drop down 1 i want to filter drop down 2
    i want to see material numbers of selected material group.
    how to get this.
    please suggest me.
    Edited by: venkat s on Jan 29, 2008 2:44 PM

    OK - this is a real puzzle. I have a model with dropdown #1 and #2 in separate views where the content of #2 is filtered by #1.
    The deployed runtime version of this model actually work as desired. #2 is reset to default for every new value chosen in #1.
    Then, I've made changes to the model, and suddenly #2 behaves as you described - keeping the last value chosen and not returning to default - unless application is reloaded.
    So, I've gone back to an older version and tried to duplicate the #2 drop down with exactly the same values, and here is the strange part: the two drop downs behave differently in the same model.
    The only thing I have found is related to Prashant's wizard tip: at one stage in development my model had two layers. If I open this model version and take away all layers completely the #2 drop down looses it's desired behaviour. I have therefore kept one layer with all model forms and tables, removed all wizard navigation so the application looks like it's not using layers at all.
    The strangest thing though is that if I add a duplicate #2 again in this layer-model it won't work as the original. I simply cannot find a logical answer to this problem now. When I do, I will update.
    Another thing: For the #2 drop down that works as desired I cannot see the entry list configuration anymore. I originally chose a dynamic list type, but when I open it now it's showing the global variant with no global list defined! (this must be a bug as if I don't touch this config it still running as a dynamic list when deployed).
    If you (or anyone) solve it first, please tell us!

  • Cascading drop down

    Hi,
    I want to create a cascading drop down. The view object for the drop down contains two bind variables. In the JHeadstart application definition I fill one bind variabele with text (this is for finding the correct domain in the underlying table) and one with an unchangable item of the master screen. This item is always filled and is already filled while entering the screen.
    This drop down works fine in one application module, but if I create the same domain in another application module on both places this isn't working anymore. Of course the name of the item that I bind is changed for the second application module. Both application modules are children of one top application module which contains the view object for the drop down.
    I allready tried if I create several view object instances on the child application module level but this also does not work.
    What am I doing wrong (I followed the steps creating cascading drop down lists in the JHeadstart guide).
    Marianne

    Also this problem did arrise because the domain names in the application definitions are not unique over the application modules.

  • Using the Current Function in a repeating table with cascading drop-downs

    I have a Repeating Table where a customer can choose the values for three cascading drop-downs. I then want the member to start a new entry with the same cascading drop-downs but with different results based on their most current input not
    based on all their input throughout the form.  I also do not want the current input to affect previous inputs replacing what was already entered.  
    Please assist.
    -Ben
     

    Hi,
    Based on your description, you don't want to meet the following issues:
    The first row returns back all the data from the list up to the value selected.
    Any new item added, replaces the value in the other items.
    Here is an article about InfoPath Repeating Table Lookup control on SharePoint List, refer to it:
    http://www.sumitrawat.net/2009/10/infopath-repeating-table-lookup-control.html
    Besides, here is a similar post, you can use as a reference:

  • Is there a way to create a drop down menu with an automatic answer dependent on what is chosen?

    Is there a way to create a drop down menu with an automatic answer dependent on what is chosen? An if-then statement perhaps?  I am looking to add over 100 drop down options and would like to have a message automatically pop up depending one which option they chose.  Thank you.

    Hi,
    You would use the skip logic to conditionally show form items based on the selection within the drop-down menu. Here's a link to a description of the feature in our help documentation:

  • Trying to create a drop down menu in numbers...please help

    Hi
    Can anyone indicate how to go about creating a drop-down menu.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Meela,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Numbers 08 forum.
    Check page 66 of the Numbers User Guide supplied with your copy of iWork. The guide refers to them as "pop-up" menus, so a search using "pop-up" will be more successful than one using "drop down".
    Essentially the process is:
    Click on the cell to select it.
    Open the Inspector and choose Cell Format (icon is a cell containing 42)
    Click the Cell Format menu and select Pop-up Menu from the bottom of the list.
    Double click an item in the list to edit it. Click the + button to add an item, the - button to delete the selected item.
    Done.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • How do I create a drop down list to e-mail a form for signature.

    The desired workflow is for
    1)      Firefighter 1 to complete the top portion of the Agreement
    section, sign in the Firefighter 1 signature field (which locks the top
    portion of the Agreement Section), then select Firefighter 2 from the
    e-mail drop down list and e-mail the PDF form to Firefighter 2;
    2)      Firefighter 2 opens the e-mail and the PDF attachment,
    completes the second portion of the Agreement Section, sign in the
    Firefighter 2 signature field (which locks the bottom portion of the
    Agreement Section), select Lieutenant 1 from the e-mail drop down list
    and e-mail the PDF form to Lieutenant 1;
    3)      Lieutenant 1 opens the e-mail and the PDF attachment, checks
    the approved box, signs the Lieutenant 1 signature field, select
    Lieutenant 2 from the e-mail drop down list and e-mail the PDF form to
    Lieutenant 2;
    4)      Step three continues through Lieutenant 2, Battalion Chief 1
    and Battalion Chief 2
    5)      Battalion Chief 2 sends the fully completed form back to
    Firefighter 1 who copies the completed form to Firefighter 2
    Note: if any of the officers disapprove the agreement the disapproved
    form is immediately sent back to Firefighter 1

    Hi Katie,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Numbers '09 forum.
    Numbers vocabulary for this feature is a "Pop-up Menu". It's available as a Cell Format, and is set and edited in the Cell Format Inspector.
    See "Using a Checkbox, Slider, Stepper, or Pop-Up Menu in Table Cells" starting on page 96 of the Numbers '09 User Guide.
    This guide, and the equally useful iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide are available for download through the Help menu in Numbers.

  • How do I create a drop down menu with Code Snippets and Flash CS5?

    Hi
    I am wondering how to create a drop down menu using the Code Snippets and CS5?
    There are some older tutorials out there and it would be nice if someone could create an updated drop down menu tutorial, and it might be me doing this after I have figured out the best and easiest way to create one, but before that I need some pointers.
    Thanks!
    Have a great day!

  • How can i create a drop down menu for set qty in my store?

    I'm wondering how i can create a drop down menu for the qty module that sits on the individual product page. My client sells in quantities of 6 packs. I currently have the minimum order at 6 but i would like to give consumers the option for 6,12,18...and so forth. I was told that it could be accomplished? Hopefully someone can help me.

    Hi Chris -
    Thank you for your reply! I had seen your article before, and just now again attempted to follow it, but I get stuck. There are two things that I'm confused by.
    First off, toward the top, referring to the initial button, you say to add this interaction:
    ON CLICK; Play Transition to comboBox: selected
    ON ROLL OUT; Play Transition to comboBox normal if comboBox is in over state
    ON ROLL OVER; Play Transition to comboBox over if comboBox is in normal
    However, I do not see these transition options. When I select the button, the only interactions I have are to Play transistion to state, Play action sequence, Go to URL, and two for videos. So that's the first roadblock for me.
    But, trying to get passed that, I went down to the portion of the article that refers to adding interaction to the dataset items. Again, I don't get it, as I see no way to add interaction to a dataset item. When I open my design-time data menu, I do see the items, and am able to rename each item, add additional rows, and change the shape of the datalist layout. However, I see no way to add an interaction to a dataset item. I must be missing a step ... Can you help with this?
    Again, thank you!
    Amy
