Tab Order in Visual Composer Input Form

Hi,
I am trying to set the tab order on my visual composer input form. I enter a number in "tab order" but it does not seem to have any effect on the tab sequences. Tabbing is sequential when I set layout to "horizontal" or "vertical" but not for "absolute". I would like to use the absolute layout - does anyone know why I cannot control tab order?
Thanks.

Hi
Normally 'Tab order' works fine for all the fields & it works as per given in SAP Library. But sometimes it doesn't work so there is workaround which i tried & it works fine in my case. IN the form you have created all the fields, just hide all the fields. & then select one by one as per the sequence you want. It works.
You can go to 'Layout Board' & there also you can arrange the sequence.
Have i understood your problem correctly? or you are looking for something else.
Regards
Sandeep

Why would my PDF Form print out the tab order on top of my form fields?

When this user prints out the filled out PDF form we created, it prints the tab order as a little square numbered box right on top of the form field entry. The tab order prints over all types of fields, text entry fields, check box fields, etc.
I am not sure if this issue is related to someone using a non-Adobe PDF reader, or an issue with their printer? Unfortunately, we cannot duplicate this issue ourselves and are hesitant to interrogate our client futher on the matter.
Has anybody else ever seen this type of print out from a PDF form issue?

Thanks for your reply! Based on your suggestion I did a little experimenting.
This is a form saved to Enable User Rights so PDF viewers can fill out and email or save the form. After seeing your question, I opened the form for editing (actually saving a copy first that was not restricted, and editing the copy). I then toggled the Tab Numbers on via Tools > under the Forms header I clicked Edit > Other Tasks > Edit Fields > Show Tab Numbers. After revealing the tab numbers I then tried to save the form as a Reader Extended PDF, but the Enable Additional Features option was grayed out. Even if I wanted to, I could not save the form with the tab numbers revealed.
The form itself was also received by our company electronically and when viewed does not show the tab number order and when we print it, it prints as expected (no tab order numbers).
We are suspecting that this may be an issue either with the end users printer? Or possibly viewing and printing via an alternate viewer like Foxit?
Anybody run across this odd behavior?

Is it possible to set the tab order of components on a form?

I'm trying to set the tab order of text boxes on a form, that uses GridBag layout. It seems that the tab order is automatically set according to the order that components are added to the form in. Is there a way to change it manually? I really don't want to redo the entire form...

I have no idea what you're talking about. It might be worth to look for the right forum which suits your actual problem. Are you talking about Swing? Then post it in the Swing forum. Are you talking about JSP? Then post it in the JSP forum.

Passing output of one iView as input to another iView using Visual Composer

Hi
I need urgent help. Is it possible to pass data from one iView to another using the Visual Composer tool. If it is how? Does anyone have an example or know where I can find one.
Here is my example:
I have created one Page with two iViews on the page. In the first iView i have a Bapi that accepts an ID number of a business partner as input and returns details like Name, Surname , title etc as well as the SAP Business Partner Number. The second Iview uses a Bapi that returns the Address details of the business partner.My problem is that I need to use the Business Partner Number from the first iView as the input into the second iView. Is this possible using Visual Composer? There will be a series of additional all bringing back different details of the same Business Partner and will need to use the same Business Partner Number.
Please advise me if this is possible using VC or if not suggest an alternative way of doing it.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regards
Yusuf Gangat

Yes you can do this.
You can use ports (Signals) for this.
In order to explaing this, I will call the 1st iView - the source iView and the 2nd one - the target iView.
1. In the source iView create an "Out Port" from the form or table where you have the details you want passed. Name it anyway you want (in the Properties task pane).
2. In the target iView create an "Input Port" and connect it to the input of the BAPI you want run.
3. Make sure that both ports have exactly the same name (it's case sensitive). and the same fields.
4. Deploy the 2 iViews to the portal, put them in the same page.
Data should be transferred now between the iViews.

Value Help for Date inverval in Variable Form in Visual Composer

Hi all,
I have created a variable form which has Date interval with value help as one of the parameters.
when i click on the value help and select any date interval then it is displayed as say '20081015:20090101' but when i submit this value i get an error "INVALID_VARIABLE_VALUES".
this variable is working fine when i manually enter the interval as '10/15/2008:01/01/2009'.
is there any way where we can input the date interval value as '10/15/2008:01/01/2009' using the value help.
any help is highly appreciated.
regards,
RK,.

Hi Ramakrishna,
Value help is considered as a popup iview in visual composer. You can change the fields in popup iview like normal iview. Drill down the popup iview of the value help and change the date format using DSTR function.
Try the below link for change the date format.

Why does my Numbers app in iPad mini doesn't have any INPUT FORM tab every time I press the " " sign?

This is my first time using the Numbers App which I thought could organize my research data collection and at the same time speed up the summary and analysis of the data as well. However, I can't start on with it because I'm stuck with how to find the INPUT FORMS tab anywhere else in the screen. The tutorials instructed to tap the "+" button but in my app, after tapping the symbol it only adds new sheet, it doesn't show the "new sheet, new form" selection. I'm really confused and I want to know how to get it right. Please help me if I needed something to correct this

Hey lilianville!

Instantiating an Adobe form from Visual Composer

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement, wherein I have to instantiate an adobe form, send it thru email and start a new process when an input form(created in Visual Composer) is submitted. Kindly assist me with this on how to proceed. Any useful links will be really helpful.
Cheers,
Madhu

Adobe Reader (which is showing you your PDF even inside SAP) has built in function allowing to scale document to the size of paper in the printer. But this is function of Adobe Reader (not the form itself) and can help only if you are ready for some "help" from the user at the time of printing.
If you want to do it directly (without user intervention), than I'm afraid there are no built-in function for page scaling inside PDF. But you can include two master pages of different sizes in the design of your Adobe form and choose one of them during form generation according to your needs. Please have a look at my old post [here|Is it possible to trigger the pages differently; on how to do it.

BAPI table input parameters for Visual Composer not working?

I am using a BAPI with table input parameters (2 input fields for the table). I tested the BAPI in ecc function builder (it works as planned). However, it doesn't work in Visual Composer using the same input values (not getting any error messages). Is this a bug in VC 7.0? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
The data service at a time can execute only one input data.
it will not handle too many inputs at time otherwise all the input ports should have same submit action then it is possible to Execute multiple input forms data .
When you are mapping the input form and the dataservice ,give the same event like this *submit for both Inputforms
Thanks,

Setting tab order to form fields contained within a table, Indesign CS6

I have created a form in ID CS6, and have put all the tabs in order so that people can easily navigate it when filling it in. However, all of the form fields that are contained within tables are not in order, and I can't find any way of putting them in order without changing them in acrobat after I have made the interactive PDF. This means that every time my client makes changes to the form I have to manually put all the fields in order again, which is time consuming. Is anyone able to help?

This tab order dialogue box is nearly useless if you have a complex form with hundreds of form fields as there is no way to interact with the document when the dialogue is open and clicking on an entry in the list does not highlight the respective field. Furthermore, if you have arrays of radio buttons, or check boxes acting like radio buttons, ie all with the same form field name, there's no way to know which order they should be arranged in since they can't be selected or identified while this dialogue is open!
That is immensely frustrating to say the least.
It's quite ridiculous that Adobe hasn't fixed this bug in years and this user interface is shockingly bad.

Is there a way to force the tab order to skip a page and then return to that page on a form?

I have a multi-page form with a required page layout. The problem with the current form layout, is that I'm finding my users are getting to page "20" and it seems like the natural end of the form...and stop entering information and submit. The problem is, there's an additional form field on the next page that MIGHT need important information.
The information in that final field is only present in about 10% of submissions, but is crucial to the file if present. As I said, the page layout is required.
Is there a way to change the tab order to go from the last form field on page "19" to the form field on page "21" and then back to the form fields on page "20"?

Thanks try67, but it isn't a required field. As I mentioned, only about 20% of submissions will require filling it in.
There isn't a submit button. Not even sure what I would do with/or how I would implement a submit button. After processing the form, the filled out form is 'Saved As' to keep the original forms integrity intact. The 'Saved As' file is renamed appropriately, and then it is printed to a PDF file and attached to the appropriate customer file.

Setting tab order/reading order of a form.

I have created a survey with fillable form fields and saved as a PDF. When I tab through the form to fill it out many of the radio buttons get skipped. Also, when using VoiceOver to read the form it does not read the form fields in the correct order, however it does read the text correctly. I have used the Order tab to set the tab order of the form fields but this does not appear to make any difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unable to set the tab order in a form I am creating

Hello,
I have a form that I created a bunch of fields for. I did make some of the fields out of order, but was not concerned as I figured I would set the tab order as I have in the past.
However, for this set of fields, not mater what I do, and how many times I try to set the tab order manually, it skips over a bunch of fields. Even if I try to let acrobat automatically set the tab order, it still doesn't work.
These fields have been made from scratch as well as, copy and pasted to make sure their properties were all the same, other than a unique name. I can't figure this one out.
Has anyone ever had this happen to them before?
thanks!!
babs

Hi everyone...thanks!!
I did check the read only issue first, and that wasn't it... and I made sure they were just text fields and never started out as radio buttons...
At one poin,t a bad param error popped up..... ah ha!!
So, I exported the file back to postscript (deleting all the fields first)
and then made new ones and it worked fine...
Must have been a corrupted file ;-)
Thanks for the help!!!!

Complete loss of tab order in form

I received a MS Word document (2003) that I opened in my MS Word 2010 and saved as a .pdf document. I then opened the .pdf file in Acrobat Pro v 9.4.7 and used the Forms tools to create a fillable form. My tab order shows exactly as I want it to perform. I close the form.
I can open this form on my computer - using BOTH Adobe Acrobat Pro AND Adobe Reader 9 (v 9.4.7 also) and the form performs exactly as I intend it to.
However, when I have it tested by coworkers, the form tabbing does NOT perform as intended. They are using Adobe Acrobat Pro v 8.1.3 and Acrobat Reader v 9.0.0.
Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening and how I can fix it? Myself and one of our developers have spent hours on this and cannot even get to the root of the problem, let alone resolve the issue.
Thanks!
Susan

George, once again you have saved me much additional grief!! Changing the order to "row order" instead of "manual order" was all it took...although I still don't understand why the end users tabbing order did not match what I could see in the development software. (Perhaps that information would be a bit too much of a Christmas miracle to hope for.)
Thank you so much for your help on this! I now have five other forms to prepare, and your wisdom should help them all go smoothly.
