Shift fields left to u201Cfill in the holesu201D

Hi All,
I want to optionally include fields in a report, and have the remaining fields shift left to u201Cfill in the holesu201D. I'm passing a parameter to a formula to determine if I should display fields. Ordered Date is defined as a formula of;
if {?pInclude_Dt} = "IncludeDt" then
{TBLREPORTING_DATA.OrderedDt}
An example:
I'll display 4 fields. Company Name, OrderedDt, OrderedItm, and price.
If I pass "IncludeDt" to pInclude_OrderDt,
I get this result -
Company Name              Ordered date         Item Ordered           Price
Acme Restaurant            9/27/2009                14" pan                $25.75
If I pass "DoNotIncludeDt" to pInclude_OrderDt, the result is -
Company Name                                            Item Ordered           Price
Acme Restaurant                                            14" pan                $25.75
Is there any way to move the fields to the left to fill in the blank?
I'm using Crystal Reports 2008, and Visual Studio 2008. (Although, I think the question is independent of Visual Studio.)
Thanks for the help.

I use XI R2, so I don't know if 2008 can do that. I'm pretty sure XI R2 doesn't... A few ways that I can think of to accomplish this are:
- If Order Date is the only optional column, move it to the start (or end) of the line, and the non-display will just look like a bigger margin.
- If there are more optional columns, or the order of the fields can't change, you could always build your entire detail line in a formula and print the report using a fixed-width font (such as Courier) so everything stays aligned. (Not a great suggestion, but it should work reasonably well.)
- Worst case, turn this into a cross tab report (which the data is by no means amenable to), then filter out the non-display fields. This is a worse suggestion than the prior one, IMHO, but again, another option.
HTH,

Adobe - Shift fields left dynamically

Hello,
if we have in one line on our PDF formular three fields e.g. TITLE, FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME - how could we configure that the third field is shifted left if for example the second field is empty. We require to avoid empty space.
We could concatenate all three informations into one field. But the question is, if there is also a soluton directly in ADOBE Lifecycle Designer?
Thank you
Kind regards
Manfred

Hi,
Wrap all three fields in a subform which is flowed. Use the javascript in the initialize event of the subform to hide the fields which are empty.
If (field.rawValue == null || field.rawValue == "")
Field.presence = 'hidden';

HD clips and "shift fields"

Hi. I have a doubt on how to work with HD clips.
What I want to do is place a selection of a HD clip into a DVNTSC (easy setup) sequence. All my other clips are DV, 720 x 480 (640 x 480) at 29.97 fps. And what I noticed, is that as soon as I place the clip into the sequence, Final Cut, by default, puts a "shift fields" filter, set on +1 (the shift direction).
My clip format is: Apple XDCAM HD 1080i60 (35 Mb/s VBR), 1440 x 1080 (1888 x 1062), Millones. 16 Bits Entero (Little Endian), Estereo, 48.000 KHz. FPS: 29.97. Size: 1920 x 1080
I have no problems with the size of the clip or anything. Is just the doubt about that filter. Should I remove this filter?

so the shift fields filter should stay... ok. But other thing that I noticed, is that when I applied a tint filter to my clip, It would lost the effect on the last frame... why does that keep on happening?

Why is the Video Filter "Shift Fields" Automatically being added to my clips?

In the timeline, I've been noticing that FCP is randomly adding the "Shift Field" video filter to about 75% of all my clips in the timeline.
Is this common?
JS

I noticed that this Shift Field filter is going crazy if you copy footage from a sequence to another with different Field orders.
I don't think in my case FCP has ever wrongly applied the filter when I just was editing from the Viewer to the Canvas. Only when copying footage from sequence to sequence, I discoverd problems.
By the way. You can select all the 'faulty' clips and choose Conform to Sequence from the menu, and al should be right...
Rienk
Good points, all. Thanks for your contribution, Rienk.
"Conform to Sequence" is a function I have never used, did not know it even existed, thanks for that, too.

What is the shift fields filter for?...

Hi everyone,
I exported a movie from after effects in "animation" and imported it to FCP. it automatically added a 'shift fields' filter set to +1. this filter makes the focus soft and i am wondering why it is there and if i need it at all (i don't even know what it's supposed to do...).
btw, the quality of the picture, regardless of the filter, deteriorated quite a bit from the original QT movie that I exported from FCP to AE. i thought that digital copied don't lose quality... or was i supposed to export the movie in a special format? (I used DV pal).

You imported a clip made with the Apple Animation codec which uses upper field order (lines 1,3,5,7,9 etc are written first) into a DV Sequence which uses lower field order (lines 2,4,6,8 etc are written first).
So Final Cut Pro corrected the field order for you. What's not to like?
Never judge the quality of your output based on the FCP Canvas.
It always shows a low res proxy image to better conserve resources for real time playback.
To see the true quality, you need a calibrated external broadcast monitor, or at the very least, an excellent television set.

I can not use the tab key to move to the next field or use the shift and tab to move to the prior field in forms.

After updating to 7.0.1 I can not always use the tab key to move to the next field or use the shift and tab to move to the prior field in forms. This always worked in previous versions and it's much needed for my type of work. Does anyone know of a setting to activate this? If not can the Firefox developers work on this issue (please). I love Firefox but desperately need this feature to work correctly. Thanks!

I tried in safe mode and the tab key worked just fine. I'm not sure about all web forms I've only recently updated to 7.0. The wen form I was using was for appraisal purposes and it has multiple data fields to fill in and also drop down menus to select from. Might I always have to use Firefox in safe mode to be able to utilize the tab between field feature? Thanks for your help!

Can you try a different keyboard to see if the problem persists? Also, you have 90 days of phone support when you buy a mew mac.

Filter Question 1: Shift Field - when to shift it?

And by "shift it", I'm really asking in what order to place it, relative to any other filters being applied. And is there a rule of thumb for this particular filter being first or last in the stack?
The Specific Issue:
I notice FCP applies the filter automatically when I add HD material to a standard def Timeline (see "Workflow" description below), where the extra material has a different "Field Dominance" than the main footage. This triggers a green render bar, which thankfully doesn't take long to process.
But I'm starting to see some odd behavior when I then add other filters to one of these clips whose Fields have been automatically Shifted by FCP.
Specifically, I've been testing MagicBullet's "Noise Reducer" filter on a few of these clips (ones where I've had to magnify the image more than it really wants to be), and once the absurdly long render finally finishes*, the playback of just these clips gets very wonky on my external monitor (with a flashing blue that eventually takes over the whole screen, but only for these clips -- and FinalCut's telling me there's nothing left to render).
* and this is the subject of a whole 'nother filters-related question I've posted in this same forum
Interestingly, when I drag the Shift Fields filter from its default top-of-the-stack position in the Viewer down to the bottom, so that it comes after the MB Noise Reducer -- and then wait for another huge render to finish -- now everything seems to play back fine.
Both filters (FCP's Shift Fields and MB's Noise Reducer) are configured in their default settings, and this apparent conflict with the Shift Fields filter appears to not occur in relation to any other filters I've also been testing (such as Sharpen and Deflicker).
So -- is this just one of these trial-and-error things, where you keep reordering the filters till they seem happy, or is there a reason why the automatically applied Shift Fields filter should always be last in the stack (even though intuitively it feels like something which should be applied first)?
Any insights appreciated.
Thanks,
John B.

*Workflow Description*
(which might be of interest to other one-man-band, tight-budget videographers)
+I'm currently cutting a series of videos done for a local theatre company. My A-cam is a Sony MiniDV shooting 4:3, and my Timeline is the basic NTSC-DV easy setup. I generally also set up a B-cam at a different angle, which is locked off to get a static shot of the full performing area. This camera is a compact AVCHD unit, shooting at full 1920x1080. I put its material on a separate video track, and when I need to cut to it I use the Motion tab to frame the shot, resize it, and crop in as desired. Sometimes I'll even keyframe a pan and/or slight zoom to give the effect of a human cameraperson following the action live. Since both cameras are recording continuously, I only have to sync up the two tracks once -- and the end product gives a reasonably convincing impression of a two-person shoot.+

Clearly I need to check in with the Jolly Red Giant himself, since I'm wondering if he's the one I should be pointing my finger at with regard to a bizarre issue I'm encountering: trying to export a previously harmless sequence which now contains clips with two Red Giant / Magic Bullet filters -- all fully rendered, but the Export time is expanding faster than a Supernova.
Thread is called "Renders Gone Wild", if you have any advice on what I should do.
Thanks,

Move all fields and grid lines to the the right

I have a report where I want to insert two new fields to the left of all the existing columns. Can I move all of my fields and grid lines to the right at once? I don't want to start at the right and drag each field out to the right two inches, etc. Hoping there is an easy way to accomplish this at once. Thanks.

Thanks - that I know. Really would like to see the grid lines move with it. Kind of like when you adjust columns in a table in ms-word. You can move a left most column and shift the others right of it in one motion.

Can you use scripting to shift fields?

Is there a way to shift fields up or down using scripting? Have a form where fields are hidden based on the value of a radio button group. When the fields are hidden, I want to shift the remaining visible fields up so no gap is present.
Is this possible?
Thanks

I assigned the a variable in the beginning. Below is the actual script I am using. It is a combination of my original script and the rect script I found in the reference guides:
var a = this.getField("costs1");
var b = this.getField("costs1");
var aRect = b.rect;
if (this.getField("radiobutton").value == "Yes") {
a.display = display.visible;
aRect[0] += 10; // increment first x-coordinate by 10
aRect[2] += 10; // increment second x-coordinate by 10
b.rect = aRect; // update the value of b.rect
} else {
a.display = display.visible;
aRect[0] -= 50; // increment first x-coordinate by 10
aRect[2] -= 50; // increment second x-coordinate by 10
b.rect = aRect; // update the value of b.rect
This moves the field left or right depending on the radiobutton value (yes/no). How do I set it to move it up or down? Is there a "set" property I should be using for the X and Y coordinates?
Thanks for the assistance.

Is there a way to link text fields, so when you reach the end of one line it moves to the next?

I often use Acrobat Pro to create forms, whether it be from an existing document or from scratch, and this has always irritated me. I know you can create a text field and select the Multi-line option; however, this is not what I am looking to do. I have a form that has a Yes or No Radio Button, then below it says "If yes, please explain:" followed by 3 lines to respond. When I run it through the Form Creator, it places three text fields on the response lines - as it should. The first line is shorter because of the text, which is why I cannot use the Multi-line option. So is there a way to link these three text fields, so that when I reach the end of the first line it stops and automatically moves to the next?
Here is a picture of what I am looking at:

These types of lines are a left-over from printed forms. There's no reason
to keep using them if your form is digital.
The best approach is to combine the fields to a single multiline field, and
get rid of the first line. Trying to link text fields together is very
tricky. I haven't yet to see it done properly.

Not able to use Shift field and Shift Grouping field while using OPK0

Hi,
I am using the SAP ECC 6.0 Enhancement Pack-4,
In Transaction 'OPK0' while confuguring the default value for shift in the *Default* Tab, i am getting the 'Shift - field:SHIFT_PROP('Proposal Shift for Single-Screen Entry') and Shift Grouping, in Display mode, i have also tried to configure it with SAP4all authorization, but still it was in Non editable mode.
Also i tried applying Note:1177952, but was not able to apply the same, as we are already using Enhancement pack-4.
let me know the solution to the above problem.

Field Report: We Test Drive the Car Dock

The Droid X can do a lot of things. But, can it do them all at once? That is the proposition behind the car dock. To me, this is the ultimate test of this multifunction device. The dock itself is just a big piece of plastic that can be suctioned to the windshield or (if you REALLY want to screw up a major piece of your car) it can be mounted to the dashboard via a glue-on disk. Simple enough. I mount my GPS devices to the far left bottom corner of the windshield (so I can actually SEE traffic ahead). My fusebox (2003 Audi A4) is just below that. So, pull a fuse and add a simple device that plugs into the fuse spot and gives you a place to slide in the fuse you took out, plus add another fuse to power the big red wire coming off of it. To this I crimp connect on a female cigarette lighter connector. Most parts from AutoZone or RadioShack. Now I have a spot to plug in the unit without running wires all over the dashboard. You can choose a fuse that is always on or only goes on with the ignition. Done? Nope. One little problem. The dock does not contain any connection to the audio out. You have to run a separate wire (UGH!) to the headphone jack. The dock does contain a little grip to hold onto the wire so it just leaves a short dangling piece of wire tethered to the unit rather than lying loose. A nice touch, but I would really rather they get it together with these Android devices and make a standard for a DOCK CONNECTOR!!! Sorry, my pet peeve with these phones.
Once mounted and wired I fire up the car and the phone. Great, the thing is charging (settings>about phone>status>battery status = Charging). I see that, because the phone is in a dock, you get a new "intro" menu instead of the home screen. It appears that the car dock and the multimedia dock have a big magnet in them that triggers some new menus in the phone when you place the phone in the dock. 6 BIG buttons. Easy to hit and giving you the right options (Calling, My Location, Music, Voice Search, Last App or programmable, and Close). You can see what it looks like without a car dock by going to the main apps page and choosing "Car Dock".
I choose music. Again, 6 big buttons (Replay, Start/Stop, Forward, Back, Shuffle, continuous play - at least I think that is what the 2 arrows in an oval shape mean. I never use it). I fire up the stereo and notice LOTS of ignition noise. The music starts and the noise is still there... unacceptable. O.K. Back to Best Buy for a ground loop isolator. They sell these in several flavors. Try to get the one (online - e-Bay) with 3.5mm jacks to minimize the number of adapters. Search e-bay for "ground loop" and pick the 3.5mm one. About $12 - $15 shipped. I could only get the RCA jack unit at the local Best Buy, so, back to RadioShack for a bunch of adapters to get the 3.5mm cables in and out of the thing. Once done... silence. No noise. But, you have to tinker with the music volume via the rocker switch. Thankfully, they made the dock so the switch is accessible.
O.K. now we want to go back to that big car dock menu. Home button? No, you must press the Menu switch (or pull down the menu from the status bar at the top of the screen and choose "Car Dock" from there - remember, you are multitasking now). There it is. Choose "My Location". You get the screen with a map (after you turn on the method of location - GPS, cell towers, or both) and 3 buttons on the right side (Traffic, Nav, and Google Maps). There is also a little compass button on the bottom right (locate me) and a looped around arrow on the top right (return to the car dock menu). From here you have to choose "Nav" to fire up navigation. The next screen gives you the "My location" and "Endpoint" choices. But nowhere is there "Recent" available. There is a small list icon to the right of the 2 input boxes. Tapping the icon next to the "Endpoint" box gives you the choice to go to a contact's address. Pretty cool. But, if you tap the "Endpoint" box you get the keyboard. Here is where things get a bit weird. There IS a "recent" feature, sort of, but you have to actually start typing something to get at it. Once you type any letter and wait a couple of seconds, the thing tries to match a recent address with what you are typing. Type one letter and you get a scrolling list (left and right scroll) with everything beginning with that letter. OR, you can just tap the microphone button and enter the address via voice. Once you have a destination, you can nav to it. Music playing (volume set by rocker), navigating with voice commands that (unfortunately) click off the music and then click it back on again. I would have preferred it just left the music playing and did the commands OVER the music. Maybe in the next release???? Anyway, the navigate volume is also adjustable. When you have the nav screen up, the rocker switch will adjust the nav command volume.
Great! Tooling along, music playing, navigating to a destination. But, what about when a call comes in? Well, there is good news and bad news. The unit switches over to the call screen, music stops, and turn by turn voice commands cease. That's right. You better either stop talking or pull over. You MAY be able to switch back to the Nav screen to at least SEE the turns. I did not test that yet. I'll give the group an update next week. Also, your car stereo becomes the caller's voice and the units microphone picks you up. Totally hands free. And it is pretty clear on both ends (yours and the caller's). Call ends and you MAY go back to the nav screen. If not, you must pull down the running apps from the top menu bar and choose Nav. You can also choose Car Dock and get that menu to go to the music player or go to Nav.
On one trip, it performed flawlessly. On another it was a disaster. The address it came up with was correct but the location it showed as "you have arrived" was 1/2 mile short. Same street just not there yet. When I tried to enter in my address to return home the thing rebooted. Nav got wierd on the way home and I just gave up. I'll give it a few more trip to see if it is going to work reliably. Till then, running music and making/taking calls appears to be stable.
My recommendation: practice first before you actually have to use the navigate function. It appears a little buggy. Also, carry a dedicated (Garmin) nav unit along as a spare. These devices NEED a cell signal to pull the map routes. Unlike a dedicated GPS with the maps built in, these units need coverage to pull a map. If you are navigating and lose signal, that is O.K. because (we believe) it pulled the maps for the entire route. However, if you go off the route AND lose coverage, you may be stuck. With all the memory these devices have, you should have the option to take a gig or so and keep the entire country map loaded. Next release?
In summary, the car dock and multitasking capabilities work, mostly. Like everything Android, there is a learning curve and it ain't perfect.
Good Luck,
Mike

To answer some of your questions
1 - Phone Call - You can get back to Navigation simply when you are on a phone call. Just press hard button 'Back'. Sometimes you get back to the navigation sometimes not. If not, then pull down the notification menu at the top and choose navigation. Back to maps at that point. The only thing at this point is that you lose the little green light bottom left corner. That is your traffic that shows a potential traffic tie up.
2 - End point - You can use your contacts as the end points. For safety, I input places I want to go to to my contacts with their address's. That way it is much easier than to type in the address on the road. You just select contacts, then scroll up/down to the contact where you are going.
3 - You can close (put to the background actually) the car dock program by pressing close. I put an icon on the home screen for the Navigation program so I can go directly into navigation. You can also program one of the buttons for Navigation (the one called App) so you don't have to go to My Location to get to the Navigation. Saves a step or two.
4 - Yes I have had the phone reboot in the dock a couple of times (owned the phone since it came out). I had it reboot twice in one trip one day, but removed the app that I just installed the night before and had it happen maybe once since.
5 - Personally, I would rather the music cut off when voice is telling me directions, if I ran that way. I turn off the voice directions because I can see when to turn, and have become good at seeing the turn within .1 miles of the turn. If it talked over the music, you might miss voice. But that is my personal opinion
6 - I have not had the problem of the map being off. Every time it shows me at the location (with picture of the location) I have been less than 1/2 a football field from the destination. Not minimizing your experience, I just haven't seen it happen to me.
