Taskflow and Return Button

Hello,
I have a bounded taskflow, which has several train stops. I would like to have a back button in each train stop page, which should return to the main page (unbounded task flow entry).
Is this an acceptable solution, or there is some other way of restarting the whole process?
Thanks!

User, please always tell us your jdev verison.
You can add a parent action to the task flow which hosts the train stops, set the parent outcome to 'back'. Then you add normal navigation to the parent action (name them all 'back'). In each of your train stops you add a button which you use to navigate to the parent action.
In the unbounded Task flow you add a wild card navigation to the page you like to get back to from the train. Name the navigation 'back'.
Now, when you hit the back button in one of the train stops you get back to the page the wild card rule is pointing to.

HT1430 iPhone 4s keypad the "o" and return button are not working - solutions?

iPhone 4s keypad, the "o" and the return button are not working. Upgraded the software, now the "o" works in the verticle position only, and the return works in the horizontal position only. Help!

Hi, VRS77.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would start with closing any open applications in multitasking and restarting the device. If unfamiliar with multitasking, I have included a screenshot on how to process an application close. Test the results after processing these steps.

If the issue persists, here are a couple addition troubleshooting steps I could recommend.

BB torch 9860: BB and return buttons freeze

Hi All,
I experience an issue since a while with my BB 9860. The BB button and the return button work only after clicking like a mad man on all the buttons.
It doesn't seem to be a hardware pb because it comes back from time to time and works correctly until the next freeze; ie: when I leave my phone for an hour or so.
Does anyone have the solution for this issue, I intend to replace the screen, do you know if this solves anything?
Thanks for your help
cheers, Frederic

Actually, that's not quite how it works. That advice is accurate only if you also bought your device from the same carrier that you are now operating on. But, if you obtained your device from anywhere else (e.g., non-carrier affiliated shop, other device-only reseller, eBay, etc.), then if it indeed turns out to be a hardware problem (which, from the tests so far run, is not yet a conclusion that can be viably reached), warranty service and other formal support is provided elsewhere...refer:

Storyline and return button issues

I've been trying, with little success, to create a menu with multiple tracks and markers in the tracks. I have about 20 tracks with markers inside each track. The client wants a play all function, and then be able to go to specific marker points. Now here is where I'm having a problem. They would like to be able to go to a specific marker and play then, when that marker gets to the next marker to stop and go back to the menu you started at. I have been trying to create this but can't et the marker to stop at the next marker and return to the menu. Also I need the preceding marker to function like the last. Also I'm having problems creating a return from the tracks to the menu they selected from. I hope I explained this well enough. If not I will try again.

This is a classic scenario with DVDs. You have multiple menus that access the same tracks, you need to play individual clips, also play all clips AND get back to the correct menu each time.
Much can be accomplished with stories and chapter markers. There are two main approaches:
1) put end jumps on each chapter marker to go back to the correct menu and button but ONLY if the chapter itself is reached from a single menu. Add a single story and put ALL markers from the track into that. This story container can have its own end jump and menu call added - set your play all button to go to the story container (not the chapters) and the whole track will play. You can also set the track end jump and menu call as you wish.
2) Add twenty stories per track (one for each chapter) and don't put end jumps on the markers. Instead, put a single marker into a single story container, add the menu call and end jump on the story and set the buttons to play a single clip to point at the appropriate story instead. For the play all, point the button to the track itself, and not a story. Set the menu and end jump for the track to go back to the single menu it gets activated from.
However, if you have more than one menu that has buttons which play the same track (i.e. menu 1 and 2 both point to the same markers on track 1, or to the same stories) then you have a problem knowing which menu to go back to. This is only a problem if you have buttons on each menu that do access the same stories, tracks or markers somehow. In this case you MUST use scripts, or you set up a separate story on the tracks and point to those. You can have up to 98 additional stories per track if that is all you are adding to your disc, so there is massive flexibility to do a you need. Scripting will be initially harder to accomplish if it is your first go, but will ultimately save you time as there is actually less to do than if you set up loads of stories.

Can I add a save and return button to my online questionnaires?

Hi, I've created a rather long questionnaire in forms central, utilising skip logic rules to allow those completing the forms to ignore sections that do not apply to them. However, some users have asked whether it is possible to save and return to the questionnaire at a later stage to complete, either because it is taking too long or they need to research an answer.
At present if thy leave the form part way through the data is lost.
Is there a save function for online questionnaires with skip logic?
Please help.
Thanks
T

I support TA257, I subscribed to Form Central being a heavy user of FormEntry hoping to switch to Adobe product. Huge oversight from my side as I have the same issue as T, my users cannot fill their form in one attempt, it requires customer interaction and repeated entries. If they close the browser they are done, all work wasted! This makes it unsuable for me. Beautiful product, if a "save and continue later" feature was available it would give you the edge over all the offline products available. Even if the user had to login to be recognized later and even with a time limit before the uncompleted form gets deleted if there are serve space issues...
As a heavy form user (with another provider) and Adobe advocate I urge you guy to consider these requests. Adobe's functioanly, reliability and name alone would give you competitive advantage over the other products. When you have users like me that have spent thousands of dollars on competitor software, a server for data collection and distribution on a solution like FormEntry and ready to dump it all to switch to Adobe for a simple feature, I think you guys should at least consider as I am sure I am not the only one. Your forms can be used for much more than a simple "quick data collection" tool, extensive data colletion, field reports etc... This would unlock the possibilities of a mere data colleciton tool.
I know the offline form can be saved but in this competitive market a form without logic or features does not compete with other competitive products.
Thank you for listening.

In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to. Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone. Where are they? I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

In adobe reader app on iPad, I have a PDF document that added notes and comments to. Once I left the document and returned to it, the notes and comments were gone. Where are they? I clicked "save" and "done" buttons after I entered text.

The application auto-saves your input when you close the document. If you left the document, as you state, the notes/comments should have been saved and should have been visible the next time you opened the document with the Mobile Reader (note that if you are opening the document with another app such as Apple's built in PDF Viewer, things like notes/comments may not be visible). Also note that if you are doing an Open In... from another app (like Dropbox), the version of the document in Dropbox does not update; only the version of the document in the Mobile Reader is updated.
Would it be possible to send a video of the problem you are encountering to [email protected] so that we can try to help?

Bounded Taskflows with Fragments And Return Activity

Hi,
I have Bounded Taskflow that requires-transaction and based on fragments, which means I should commit or rollback at the end of the taskflow. Since the documentation clearly states that you shouldn't add return activities to Bounded taskflows with fragments, I could call this taskflow from another taskflow and add it to the page as a region. Is it a best practice?
Best Regards,
Salim

Delete and Return delivery button in confirmation

Hi All,
We are in SRM 4.0 and using extended classic scenario.
Recently we had an issue with the batch job CLEAN_REQREQ_UP. It has been scheduled for every 2 mts and it used to complete within 5 seconds. But one schedule of the job was running for a long time (3 days) and we didn't notice that. Parallaly the other schedules of the jobs are running fine.
I checked the shopping carts, Po and GR created on those 3 days and they got udpated in back end system and also in SRM withtout any issues.
But the "Delete and Return Delivery" button is not active in the confirmation documents posted on those three days. We need to activate those buttons in the confirmation documents.
Note: Problem is NOT with the confirm Goods / service transaction. It is only with the confirmation documents posted on those 3 days.
Is there a way to activate those two buttons in the confirmations document?
Please help me.
Thanks.

Hi Arun,
Run the Report BBP_GET_STATUS_2 for those three days only.
and then check.

I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys that are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys. What's really weird is that happens randomly. I've never spilled anything on it

I have a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5 and some keys randomly are not working. Specifically, the enter/return button, the "p", "0", ";", and all the function keys. What's really weird is that happens randomly. I've never spilled anything on it, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this. Can anyone help? of course this happened after my warranty expired.

**update**
I don't know if this will help someone but I am posting this for that purpose. In the past when I first had this problem, I'd read a post somewhere (sorry, long ago, don't have the link) where an individual was having the same problem and they stated that when the MBP got heated, that's when the keys would stop working, and they went into the MBP and jiggle some stuff around (a specific wire, I'm not electronically inclined so I know NOT of what they spake!). Well I didn't want to do that but it always stuck in the back of my mind. I had given up, really, and was planning to take my MBP to the apple store. But by chance one night I left my MBP on the floor where it's cool, and when I turned it on, the problem went - poof! It seems there was some validity to the post that spoke about heat, because my problems started when I would stream foreign dramas on my MBP for hours at night, and I would hear the fan going off all the time, and in the mornings, my "p", "enter", "0", ";", and all the function keys would stop working.
So, maybe try keeping the MBP in a cool place when it's off. Since I've started doing this overnight every night (keeping it on the cool floor, out of reach of any big feet), I have not had a single problem with my keyboard.
Hopefully this might help someone.

I have a problem with the keyboard on my MacBook. The letters are typing as symbols and the delete and return/enter buttons do not work. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Have lost return button and will not open to home page even though it is set to

Return button no longer works and home page will not open even though it is set to do so. I"ve reinstalled firefox, but this didn't help
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Hello Rick.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.
If you need to restore your interface, you can go into ''View > Toolbars > Customize... > Restore default set''.

HELP: I need to link a PDF within PDF and be able to open and return to original PDF

I have a master PDF and have attached 7 supplemental PDF documents. I created "click here" icons and used the steps below so that the linked document would open. The problem is, once I open the supplemental PDF, it closes the original master. I would like to close the linked document and return to the master view. Is there a way to do this?
Or is there a way to do this from InDesign? I created master file in InDesign and exported as an Interactive PDF. I created the buttons and linked them to external files. This works great as long as the master PDF and the links are all in one file, but that is a pain to send to a viewer. Ideally, I want to be able to send the master PDF to a viewer and not have to send a links folder. Is there a way to embed the supplemental PDFs into the master so that they are all combined into one file AND have the ability to use buttons to call up one of the attachments, close, and return to the original?
Thanks in advance!!

I want to do the same thing that the original poster of this question wants to do. I haven't worked extensively with Acrobat so am finding by trial and error the several ways PDFs within PDFs can be accomplished. I'm using a trial version of Acrobat Pro X and have experimented with three options.
1 - I've created a Portfolio and am impressed with what that can do, though I think it may be "overkill" for the current size of my project.
2 - I've also tried creating this project as an index but discovered that the links I'd created in the original docs didn't work when I moved the index and its contents (keeping the file structure the same). I presume this means the links are absolute? I also don't understand how it is that users search a .pdx file, or how to present what I want to be the original opening PDF of indexed docs.
3 - I've also thought to create one PDF with attached PDFs, so I'd like to have you expand on your comment about creating a master document and attaching documents to it.
The specifics of my project are these: I have created a master directory that contains approximately 120 links. Most of the links are repeated three times (users can find in the directory the item they need in three different ways: alphabetically, by application, or by module; hence each item listed once in each of three categories). I want to make that directory the "master" PDF that users open first, and then locate within that PDF the 5-8 PDF documents that contain all of the places to which the directory links. I want the "master" directory to be self-contained and completely "portable" as far as all of the documents and links are concerned so that when I make the PDF available from our website users can open the master from there or copy it and have all of the docs they need with all of the links intact. I think I prefer that all docs open in new windows, since returning to the original doesn't seem very user friendly in Acrobat (I like the tabs feature in FoxIt when multiple PDFs are open...).
I'd like an opinion about the best way to accomplish what I need to do, and am also wondering whether there are other options I am unaware of. BTW, the reason we've decided to document this whole project in PDFs rather than HTML is because this project contains a big number of tables, which do not look consistent across various browsers (i.e., most of our tables look fine in IE and Firefox, but awful in Google Chrome...). In researching my issue on the Acrobat Windows forum I see that rendering tables in Acrobat is also an issue that seems to be unresolved.
Thank you!

Exit out of video and return to stage frame 1

Ive manged to create a flash player that incorporates a video
using a online
tutorial with the code below.
All is working well but at the end of the video I want to
exit out of the
video and return to the stage at frame 1. The reason being
is; before a user
hits play an interface image (containing info) is displayed.
When they hit
the play button the video appears and plays over the
interface image.
problem is at the end of the video the layer containing the
image is still
covered by the video. when the video finishes I need a line
of code to exit
and return the player to the original state without the
presecence of the
video layer.
any ideas? thanks in advance

Inside the videoStatus() function Check the Current Time and
Total time for video completion. Some time the Video doesn't have
exact Time when comparing to the Total duration so use Math.floor
to compare. if you still facing problem also check the Buffer
status and Video status too.

Trackpad and trackpad button often unresponsive in Mavericks

This is an offshoot of discussion about a mouse right click not always working since upgrading to Mavericks.
I said using the trackpad and trackpad button on my MBP often doesn't effect the computer; I have to repeat those actions multiple times before anything happens.
Drew Reece offered some suggestions for my issues:
First, I came to Mavericks from Snow Leopard because I'd tried Lion and Mt. Lion but found my old laptop (early 2008 MBP v4.1) ran way, too slow.
Before going whole hog on Mavericks I read a lot, then installed it on an external drive (spinning, connected with FW800) and played with it for a few days. I used Migration Assistant to make the move, which segregated software that was not compatible. Mavericks was slow for a few days, but did gradually speed up.   However, that was when I first ran into the issue with the trackpad and button not registering with the computer's display. I also ran into the problems with Mail not liking my 3 Gmail accounts but actually solved that using by booting in safe mode, thanks to another poster here. Not sure why - I attributed it to Spotlight indexing the drive - everything about the computer was very slow and extremely funky while in safe mode; no way I would want to judge the OS based on performance during that boot. It was awful.
I did update a lot of applications to Mavericks-ready versions while I was using 10.9 on that external drive.
When I felt comfortable, I wiped my NBP hard drive and did a clean install of Mavericks, followed by repeating the same software updates. Then used Super Duper to just bring over User folders from that external drive. Because SD restores the Spotlight state there was no "break-in" period so Mavericks ran reasonably fast right away. I wasn't ready for iCloud deleting my Address Book data but, fortunately, I replaced everything from the external drive's Users/me/Library/Application Support/Address Book folder.
So, per Drew's suggestion, I ran EtreCheck:

I don't see anything that mentions software - good or bad. And I don't see anything else that indicates a problem but maybe I just don't know how to read this report?
Sorry about the length of this but I wanted to addres all Drew's suggestions. And I'm still seeing those intermittent trackpad/button issues.
- thanks

I'll try to break down each of these sections & point out any bad signs below.
Hopefully the color helps…

Red items are loaded at the system level
Blue items are loaded at the user level
The other stuff gets loaded into apps like Safari - they are internet plugins.
Cleanup:
All the usual caveats apply, backup before you modify the system, delete the items (or move them to another disk or folder if you are worried about deleting the wrong thing) but ensure the originals are gone or updated.
Use the Finders "Go menu > Go to Folder…" to open the hidden ~/Library (your users library).
Reboot for the system changes to take effect.
How to find updates:
The critical launchd jobs & kernel extensions use reverse domain notation e.g.
at.obdev.littlesnitchd.plist means look at http://obdev.at for 'LittleSnitch' updates
You want to try to update or remove all the system level items.
Startup Items: Stored in /Library/StartupItems/
Startup Items have been discontinued by Apple since Mac OS 10.4. They are responsible for making changes at a system level. Remove them all or spend time ensuring ALL related software is up to date. You need a very good reason to have anything installed in here.
Kernel Extensions: Stored in /Library/Extensions/
Kernel Extensions also load third party code, but they insert it into the 'core' of the OS. These can be safe, however you must ensure the related tools or apps are up to date, otherwise the system is basically built upon quicksand. Remove them all & see if the OS works better.
Your LittleSnitch is out of date for example, how about hardware monitor or Rogueamoeba's software?
Launchd jobs: several types
LaunchAgents          - Stored in /Library/LaunchAgents
LaunchDaemons       - Stored in /Library/LaunchDaemons
User LaunchAgents   - Stored in ~/Library/LaunchAgents
These are all background jobs, they are not necessarily bad, but if they are loading old code it could be doing untold damage to the performance & stability of the entire OS. Focus on the System level jobs (the ones inside /Library - the system level) also remove ['failed'] jobs.
EtreCheck gives a status on launchd jobs…
[loaded]                  - a running job
[not loaded]            - jobs that are set not to run, basically harmless, remove them unless you plan to use the associated software (if it is up to date)
[failed]                    - jobs in a crashed or unknown state, it could be forking processes or using all the system resources, remove these.
User login items:
Applications and helpers that are managed inside 'Systems Preferences > Users and groups > Login Items tab'.
These are loaded at the 'User level', consider removing all of them whilst you troubleshoot. When you decide to re-add them ensure the software is up to date.
3rd Party Preference Panes: & Internet Plug-ins:
/Library/PreferencePanes/ and ~/Library/PreferencePanes/
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ and ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
Once again these items all must be up to date, or remove them from your system. If the prefpanes manage additional software use the uninstaller or see the developers site for uninstall instructions.
Read the list of Internet plug-ins carefully, there are often duplicate Flash player versions that won't help stability, it's just wasted space too.
Don't forget to also update Safari's extensions in it's preferences (if you have any).
Re-run EtreCheck after cleaning up to see if items have returned (some apps will reload the background jobs when re-opened, so either update or remove the software).
Hope that isn't too daunting, the OS should be better if there are less old items running at the system level.
