Tabular form - how to auto populate a column with the user name

Hi,
I have a tabular form with 3 columns - (customer name, notes, user). my users are allowed to enter customer details in the notes section... as soon as the user completes notes section and save the form, I want "USER" field to be auto populate with the user name so that I may track activity by the user...
Please advice how to accomplish it...
thanks in advance

Hi,
After user saves the forms that means commit to the database, so you can simply write a trigger like:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "AUDIT"
before insert or update on TABLE1
for each row
begin
:new.user_field := nvl(v('APP_USER'),user);
end;

How to auto populate a column/SharePoint list with Current Date?

I have a SharePoint list and I created a column called ‘CurrDate’.
I need this column to;
Display the current date,
Auto populate all rows with the current date in the SharePoint list
Dynamically update with the current date
I first tried creating the column using the default SharePoint interface Date Time but it’s not doing any of the steps listed above:
I even tried entering =[Today] in the Calculated Value field.
Still nothing…
So, I’m sure you will toss out a code snippet to make this work, which is great.
However, I’m a total noob with SPD, where the heck do I insert this snippet?
Always in need of help.

Hi ,
I understand that you want to add a column to a list to hold current date. Here is a workaround:
Add a single line of text column to the list. Name the list as Today.
Add a calculated column to the list. Use the [Today] as the formula. Set the calculated column to be Date and Time type.
Delete the Today column from the list.

How to fix "Modifying a column with the 'Identity' pattern is not supported"

When doing Code First Migrations my mobile service always errors in the seed method with: 'Modifying a column with the 'Identity' pattern is not supported. Column: 'CreatedAt'. Table: 'CodeFirstDatabaseSchema.Methodology' for the CreatedAt column. All my
models inherit from EntityData.
// Sample model
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.Service;
namespace sbp_ctService.Models
public class Methodology : EntityData
public Methodology()
this.Scenarioes = new List<Scenario>();
public string Id { get; set; }
[Required]
[StringLength(50)]
public string EntryMethod { get; set; }
[Required]
[StringLength(50)]
public string TestDirection { get; set; }
[Required]
[StringLength(50)]
public string PassCriteria { get; set; }
[Required]
[StringLength(50)]
public string Dependency { get; set; }
public bool ExtraInfo { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Scenario> Scenarioes { get; set; }
And in my Configuration.cs file during an update here's my seed method:
protected override void Seed(sbp_ctService.Models.sbp_ctContext context)
// This method will be called after migrating to the latest version.
context.Methodologies.AddOrUpdate(
m => m.Id,
new Methodology { Id = "Methodology1", EntryMethod = "P/F", PassCriteria = "P/F", Dependency = "None", ExtraInfo = false, TestDirection = "Round" },
new Methodology { Id = "Methodology2", EntryMethod = "P/F", PassCriteria = "Best", Dependency = "None", ExtraInfo = false, TestDirection = "Round" },
new Methodology { Id = "Methodology3", EntryMethod = "P/F", PassCriteria = "Best", Dependency = "None", ExtraInfo = false, TestDirection = "In/Out" },
new Methodology { Id = "Methodology4", EntryMethod = "P/F", PassCriteria = "Best", Dependency = "None", ExtraInfo = false, TestDirection = "Out" }
For some reason on an update the CreatedAt field is created and given a value of null. So of course on an insert/update it will error because CreatedAt is an Identity field.
I've tried to configure the modelBuilder in my context to tell it that CreatedAt is an identity field, but that still doesn't work.
modelBuilder.Entity<Methodology>()
.Property(m => m.CreatedAt)
.HasDatabaseGeneratedOption(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity);
So far the only way to fix this is by commenting out my Seed data, but it's not a fix. I've seen other solutions where you can force it to not serialize certain fields, but I don't know if those solutions apply.

So I think this occurs because you might have created the database (Code-first) with POCOs that didn't have the CreatedAt field in them. I think that's what I did and the easiest way to fix it for me was to delete my database and re-create it with my POCOs
inheriting from Entity Data from the very beginning. We were still in development so it worked out for us but I know some people might not be able to do that. Here's what my table looks like after it was created correctly:
USE [database_name]
GO
/****** Object: Table [sbp_ct].[Methodologies] Script Date: 2/24/2015 9:48:45 PM ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [schema_name].[Methodologies] (
[Id] NVARCHAR (128) NOT NULL,
[EntryMethod] NVARCHAR (50) NOT NULL,
[TestDirection] NVARCHAR (50) NOT NULL,
[PassCriteria] NVARCHAR (50) NOT NULL,
[Dependency] NVARCHAR (50) NOT NULL,
[ExtraInfo] BIT NOT NULL,
[Version] ROWVERSION NOT NULL,
[CreatedAt] DATETIMEOFFSET (7) NULL,
[UpdatedAt] DATETIMEOFFSET (7) NULL,
[Deleted] BIT NOT NULL,
[Name] NVARCHAR (MAX) NULL
GO
CREATE CLUSTERED INDEX [IX_CreatedAt]
ON [schema_name].[Methodologies]([CreatedAt] ASC);
GO
ALTER TABLE [schema_name].[Methodologies]
ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_schema_name.Methodologies] PRIMARY KEY NONCLUSTERED ([Id] ASC);
Does yours look something like that?

How to differentiate between Radio Buttons with the same name?

My form has two fields, to which I gave the same name ("Radio Button 1.0") in order to achieve mutual exclusivity.
Now, I would like to use JavaScript to retrieve the value of one the two fields:
var checkMark = this.getField("Radio Button1.0");
if (checkMark.value == "Yes") {
Questions:
What is the proper way to inspect the value of a Radio Button? I have tried this:
if (checkMark.value == "No") [...]
but it doesn't seem to work.
How can I tell apart 2 radio buttons with the same name?
TIA,
-RFH

When Radio Buttons and Check Boxes are unchecked their value is "Off", so if you have "Yes", "No" buttons you will also encounter an 'Off" value. Now if you want to look at a given button, you will have to use the "isBoxChecked(nWidget)" method.
nWidget:
The 0-based index of an individual radiobutton or checkbox widget for this field. The index is determined by the order in which the individual widgets of this field were created (and is unaffected by tab-order).
Every entry in the Fields panel has a suffix giving this index, for example MyField #0.
Returns
true if the specified widget is currently checked, false otherwise.
Example
var f = this.getField("ChkBox");
if(f.isBoxChecked(0))
app.alert("The Box is Checked");
else
app.alert("The Box is not Checked");

How can i distinguish two controls with the same name?

I'm recording automated tests with VS 2012 Coded Ui Test for testing a web application.
In that web application it is possible to enter data in something looking like a list.
There is - per example - an Edit control sitting on a ColumnHeader with the name/text "Description".
Below that header is another Edit control for data input - containing the text "Description" too and which lies on a Cell control.
When i playback my recording, Coded UI Test looks for a control with the name "Description" and gets the one, it finds at first.
In that case the Edit on the ColumnHeader, which causes an exception, when the Text will be setted with the data input from the recording.
Unfortunately the controls have no ID.
Is there a way to distinguish controls with the same name?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Patrick Pirzer,
>>Is there a way to distinguish controls with the same name?
Based on the blog "How does “Coded UI test” finds a control ??", we know that to really find a control, it would be related to the unique properties as the search properties,
so if two controls have the same property, please use other unique property as the search property would be better.

Tabular Form - How to store in a column the User details (APP_USER)

Hi all,
I have let's say the following table:
USER_COMMENTS(
ID number primary key,
COMMENT_TEXT varchar2(50),
POSTED_BY_USER varchar2(50),
DATE_POSTED date,
UPDATED_BY_USER varchar2(50),
DATE_UPDATED date)
How do I, using a Tabular Form, get the USER details in the columns POSTED_BY_USER and UPDATED_BY_USER and the SYSDATE in DATE_UPDATED...
I've tried the following:
Created tabular form, all fields included. In Report Attributes > edit UPDATED_BY_USER > Display as Display as Text (saves state); Default Type: Item (application or page item); Default: APP_USER.
It's not working.
Thanks!
Andrei

It has to be a text field column type with source like the other updatable columns. You should hide that column and create a second of display as text if you want to show the content. Once this is done then you can use the default value and just type the item name there as you did:
P1_ITEM

Tabular form - How to add a G_USER column?

Hi All,
I have a tabular form that shows records form a table. the form allows updates only, not inserts/deletes.
I want to add a column to hold the user who last updated the record. I know I can use APEX_APPLICATION.G_USER function but I am not sure where to put it.
I tried by creating a computation but it shows me only page items, since I am using tabular form the column is not a page item.
Also, how can ensure to update only those rows who were actually updated by the user and not all rows that were displayed?
Thanks

Fabio,
You can create a database trigger on the table, "when updating" ...
:NEW.LAST_UPDATED_BY := nvl(v('APP_USER'), user);

Forms: how to make it so that when the user clicks something, another form pops up?

Sorry if that's confusing, but like how for example, you have:
ADDRESS: _________________________ +another address
& then if the user typed in information into the address field and wanted another address, it would look like:
ADDRESS: __________________________
ADDRESS: __________________________ +another address
& so on... is there a way to do this?

What you want is something like this

How can I have two fields with the same name if it makes sense?

Hello, folks :)
I have a pretty hard time figuring out how I can have two text fields with the same binding name.
The whole problem is that when I need two fields with the same binding name they are still differnent coz they have the same name but differnt indices.
I should make a form filled at runtime by merging a pdf form file and an fdf file data file. And I have no choice to do it differently. And my form file needs some data like customerName, companyName twice in one form. But there's only one possible buinding name indexed zero.
How can I create a field with absolutely the same name or is it just impossible due to possible name conflicts? And is there a workaround to this problem? I just need one piece of data repeated in different places.
Thanks for your replies :)
P.S. if u think that the problem is not clear enough let me know. I'll supply you with more details. But the general process can not be changed.
One pdf should be mergred with an fdf with as the result of their merge a new filled and flattened form. I have no control over fdfs their are generated by Oracle and I can not fill the form using XML files coz this process should be integrated in a working application.

I just thought about a really ugly workaround with a server-side script adding values to fdf files but it's a bit of work and tests and personally i think it's a bad idea :-(

How do I move several songs with the SAME NAME?? to a windows folder??

Now for my next question ( i'll also post this as a new question)
I have 15 versions of the surf song "Apache" but when I try to move the songs via drag and drop in itunes to a windows folder, after the first version, it asks " you already have a file names "apache" would you like to overwrite it?"
which I don't.
Even when I rename the file to "apache two" it still says I already have "apache" in that folder. They are all different versions by different groups.
How can I move them all to the same windows folder??.
thanks
Alan

Most iTunes users don't look directly at the songs in the windows folders, but if you intend to, you better give the files unique names: "Shadows - Apache," "Ventures - Apache," and so on. When you first change the name, you will have to reasssociate the file in iTunes, but then you will get no conflict when you drag them into a folder.

How to navigate to different page with different user name

How to achieve this, i think i need to set some validation in the login page.....if so how to do that.....
it is an urgency....help me friends....

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, so i need to create a post authentication for redirecting to different page as you said....
Since these are my two pages(in the application)
*) issues page.
*) analyst page.
Suppose if the User A login to the issues page(via. login page) he needs to see only the issues page
if the User B login to the analyst page(via. login page) he needs to see only the analyst page...
Since User A and B have access to the application.....
But A should login only to issues page in my application and he should not login to the analyst page...
and B should login only to analyst page in my application and he should not login to the issues page...
For that where i need to define the post authentication...whether in login page i need to define.....
if so, whether i need to define sql query for restricting the users to the particular page in the post authentication...

How do i print a photo with the file name

This seem stupid simple but I cannot find an answer anywhere. I want to print out hardcopies of phots with the file name printed with the photo. In Windows there is a program called Picture Manager (which has been eliminated in Office 2013) where you can open a folder of images, rename them individually or in batches, resize, edit, etc, all in one lovely program. You can print out individual or contact sheets with specific information for each image. Easy, one program, easy results.
Is there a comparable program for the Mac? I have searched the web and can only find suggestions that use multiple progams, downloads, plugins, and convoluted work arounds to do this. I have tried printing contact sheets in iPhoto but it crashed each time. Our IT guy suggested moving the images into an album and printing from there but it still crashes. And even if it worked I want large image per page but iPhoto leaves a large amount of white space.
The quickest way I have figured out is this:
Select the images in Finder, make a separate folder and copy the images there. (3steps)
Locate the folder in Finder and drag it to the Bridge icon (4steps)
Select the images in Bridge, adjust the output settings and Save as a pdf (6steps)
Locate the pdf in Finder, open in Acrobat, select the images (again!) and print (9steps)

How can I overwrite a file with the same name in Content DB?

Hi All,
In Content DB if I upload a file with the same name as a previous one, the application shows the warning message:
" ...You cannot upload "XXXXXX.doc" to "Test 1" because an item with the same name already exists ..."
And the alternatives are "Create Version" or "Cancel" the operation. Is there any way to overwrite a previous file as we can do it in Oracle Files ?

Hi All,
Can anybody from the Content DB product development answer this question?
