Trying to set attribute value based on user selection of another attribute

I am trying to set an attribute value based on the user's selection of another attribute using JSP EditCurrentRecord. When the user chooses the AreaId from the combo box I want to look up the value of the RgnID, preferrably without the user seeing this field at all. Below is my code which does not work. When I run it I get Error Message: null. Any suggestions are appreciated!!
<jsp:useBean id="RowEditor" class="oracle.jbo.html.databeans.EditCurrentRecord" scope="request">
<%
RowEditor.initialize(pageContext, "MyProject2_package1_SRSecurityModule.UsrAreaWhView");
RowEditor.setTargetUrl("UsrAreaWhView_SubmitInsertForm.jsp");
RowEditor.createNewRow();
RowEditor.setDisplayAttributes("OracleId, RgnId, RegionKey, AreaId");
RowEditor.useEditField("OracleId");
RowEditor.getFieldRenderer("OracleId").setPromptText("Oracle ID");
RowEditor.useEditField("AreaId");
RowEditor.useComboBox("AreaId","AreaWhView","Area","AreaKey");
RowEditor.getFieldRenderer("AreaId").setPromptText("Area");
RowEditor.useEditField("RgnId");
RowEditor.getFieldRenderer("RgnId").setPromptText("Region");
RowEditor.getRowSet().getViewObject().getCurrentRow().setAttribute("RgnId",RowEditor.getRowSet().getViewObject().getCurrentRow().getAttribute("RegionKey"));
RowEditor.setReleaseApplicationResources(true);
RowEditor.render();
%>
</jsp:useBean>

ok, sorry everyone for making it confusing; this is what I am
trying to acheieve;
I would like the user to populate my database with thier
username AND userID. I have a dropdown box with thier username
dynamicly populated already, what I am trying to achieve, is a way
of when the user selects thier username either another dropdown or
a hidden field is automatically populated with the appropiate
userID (to match thier username). Now I could just have two
dropdowns and they select both, but i'd rather avoid the
possibility of mismatches, and that is why I would like it to be
automatic and based on thier username selection...
Does that make sense....?

Pass variable and set default value based on user's group

Hello
I'm using SharePoint 2010 and SQL 2012. I need to send a variable to the page and based on its value, set default value for a drop down list and send it to other web part to filter the data. Is it possible for certain users to send that value as a default
and limit user to see only this value in the text field or drop down list; for others - to allow to see the drop down list, but also set the default value for that list?
The main page was designed in SharePoint designer, using web parts (aspx page). I had setup a connection to Active Directory and already have the code to get user's groups and based on their group, I have that variable pulled into the web page for further
use. But I don't know how to pass that value as a default value to the web part (currently using SharePoint Filter web part). When I tried to set a default value for the web part - it automatically puts the quotation marks around the name of the variable
and shows it as a text instead of showing the value of the field.
Thank you!
P.s. I have limited knowledge of SharePoint and need guidance (links, examples, recommendations)!
Alla Sanders

Thank you for your response. I'll try to give you more details. On PageA I check user's groups and based on the group, assign the value and pass it to the next page (no input from the user, all done behind the scene and user is redirected to PageB).
On the next page I read that value and would like to send it to the SharePoint List Filter Web as a default value, as well as send it to another web part that displays the list from SQL, filtered using that default value. Ideally, if the user is from Group
A, I'd like for them to have only one value in that drop down list; if user is from Group B - give him drop down list with 40 items to choose from. Below there is a part of the code and variable fnum has the value from PageA (if I print the value on the screen
- I do see that it has correct value, so the code that gets groups from Active directory works correctly). If I assign fnum as a default value of the list, it shows "fnum" instead of the value of variable fnum. I connect to SQL database, using external
content - so the other list that I'm filtering based on the value in that drop down list - is XSLT Data View Web part. I also have 2 more filters on that page, that user will have full access to and based on their input, it is also sent to the XSLT web part
to filter out more data. Since one of the filters is the date and I am filtering data starting from the date that user chooses - XSLT is the only web part that I was able to make it work with.
I looked at the link you provided (thank you). It is using Content Query Web part. Will it work with external content, as well as accepting multiple filtering, including custom starting date? I appreciate your help!

Setting column values based on LOV selection

Hi All,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.2.2.0. I have a table eg: Department table, in Dept Id, I have defined LOV for that field. My requirement is, based on the LOV selection, I want to set the other column values. I am using InputTextwithLOV in list type. How to achieve this?
I tried mentioning that in the List return values. But it is not setting the values.
Regards,
Infy

Hi,
if you use a model driven LOV then when configuring the LOV you can map additional attributes. When you build a model driven LOV you at least once tell it which LOV attribute should be used to update the DeptId field. You can do the same for additional attributes

Dynamic dropdown based on user selection of another dropdown on the same page

hi all, ok, I have a table which contains use data, a name,
and a userID. for the example lets say "Simon Bullen" and my userID
is "999".
on a form I have, there is a dropdown box, which is dynamic
from this table, and allows me to select Simon Bullen, however, I
have a hidden field on the form, which when the user selects "simon
bullen" the hidden field populates with the appropiate U number
from the same table.... no i thought this would do it:
<cfquery name="userNumber" datasource="userList">
SELECT userNumber FROM dbo.Users WHERE Name =
<cfqueryparam value="#form.Name#">
</cfquery>
and then my dynamic form field (hidden) would reference to
this query....
but it doens't work, could somebody please enlighten me? I'm
hoping its something silly
Thanks in advance

You could make the value of the option the UserID and the
option display the name.
If that isn't what you need, I think you'll need some
javascript to populate your hidden field based on what is chosen in
the select.
I think you can modify this:
http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/selectcontent2.shtml
...to populate your hidden field instead of a new select
list.
If there's a way to do that without JS I'm not aware of it.
A third possibility: look up the UserID (based on the name
chosen) after the form is submitted then do with it whatever you
need to.

Is there a way to fill a cell with a value based on the selection from another cell?

For example: If have a drop down menu created for Cell A1 with options (Dog 1, Cat 2, Bird 3). Is there a way to fill cell A2 automatically when I select from the drop down menu.
So if I selected 'Cat' in A1, cell A2 would automatically input the 2.

I suggest an extensible method that allows you to add other animals:
This method adds a small table called "Animal Lookup" that matches names (same as in the pop-up menu) with a value.
The table on the left uses this table to retrieve the value based on the animal:
B2=VLOOKUP(A2, Animal Lookup :: A:B, 2, 0)
select B2 and fill down

[MDX] Define date range based on user selection

Hi All,
I'm trying to define date range (of 3 months) using mdx based on user selection.
This is what I'm trying to do:
- If user select 2013, I would like range to be: from
1 Oct 2013 to 31 Dec 2013
- If user select Aug 2013, I would like range to be: from
1 Jun 2013 to 31 Aug 2013
- If user select 15 Sep 2013, I would like range to be : from
15 Jul 2013 to 15 Sep 2013
It is not a problem to get the upper bound of the range like this:
ClosingPeriod(
[Date].[Calendar].[Date],
[Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember
But I'm not able to get the lower bound of the range:
OpeningPeriod(
[Date].[Calendar].[Date],
ParallelPeriod(
[Date].[Calendar].[Month Number],
2,
ClosingPeriod(
[Date].[Calendar].[Date],
[Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember
Error:If user selection is
15 Aug 2013, I get
14 Jun 2013
If user selection is Apr 2013, I get
(null)
And even more strange, if user selection is
2013, I get 28 Oct 2013
Any idea of how to solve this ?
Thanks,
Guillaume

Hello Guillaume,
Can you please check if the following works for you? By the way, the performance will suffer due to all these IIF, the solution is very complex in order to avoid null in ParallelPeriod.

Echo a variable in a form based on user selection

Ok I am very very new to java to the point were I only know how to use pre-made javascripts in my php code so be gentle. :)
First, here is part of a form I have:
<select name = "pulmonologist" >
<option selected="" value="">---Select---
<option value="none">None</option>
<?php
while ($row2 = mysql_fetch_assoc ($results2)) {
        ?><option value = "<?php echo $row2['staff_name'];?>"><?php echo $row2['staff_name'];?></option>
<?php }
?>
</select>Ok now I want to echo the value that the user selects on the SAME page (i.e. before the submit button is pressed) (so I can't do it with php, I need javascript) like this:
<input type="submit" value = "Contact <?php echo $pulmonologist;?>" />Can you tell me how to do this? Thanks!

Hello,
Lots of different ways to do this, I blogged about one way (using a Pipelined function) here -
http://jes.blogs.shellprompt.net/2006/05/25/generic-charting-in-application-express/
Other options include using a PL/SQL function returning the string to use as the dynamic query etc.

Output different data based on user select

Hi everyone,
Quick question, I would like to output different report columns based on user select, eg., users would be presented with two choices in a radiobutton list, eg., 1 and 2.
I have query results that contain columns A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
If user selects 1 then the output should be columns A, B, C, D, E.
If user selects 2 then the output should be columns A, B, C, F, G.
I am sure this is possible and easy? If so, what topic should I be reading/searching internet on?
Please advise.
Thanks!

I would say that this is most often something that your user interface should be dealing with (i.e. which columns should be shown).
There is no way to do that in SQL.
In PL/SQL it is a simple situation of creating two cursors and simply deciding which one to open.
<pre>declare
l_cur sys_refcursor;
begin
if :user_selection = 1 then
open l_cur for select A, B, C, D, E from tbl;
else
open l_cur for select A, B, C, F, G from tbl;
end if;
-- use the cursor
close l_cur; -- or return to user interface
end;
/</pre>
Hope this helps.

Setting default value read from user session, for an LOV in Query component

I want to set the default value of a field in VO that participates in a named view criteria and thereby in Query component. That field is configured with an LOV by mean of a view accessor. The values are Y and N and the corresponding display strings obtained from view accessor are true and false respectively.
I am able to set the default value by setting the value of the criteria item corresponding to that field in view criteria. I am setting the value as either Y or N and I am able to corresponding display string as per the view accessor, on the query component when it is rendered.
I want to read the defauilt value from the ADF BC user session and set it as default value. I tried setting the values as "adf.userSession.userData.usageFlag". Iam ensuring that the attribute usageFlag is set before the view activity that has the query component is invoked. But this is ending up showing no default value in the Query component when rendered.
Can any one let me know how to go about with this?

Key figure value based on user input.

Dear Friends,
We are using BI7.00 and NW2004S. In one of our report to monitor the number of notification closed and the number of notification open upto the user selected month. For this i have created a Query which has selection screen value as month. I have created a condition which will fetch the difference in days (notification completion - notification creation date) based on user entered value. For example if user enters 10 in the selection screen, report will fetch the notifications which have diffrence in days as 10.
The condition is okay for the above. What user actually wants is the number of notifications completed and that pending based on the value he enters in the screen. For example he enters 10 in the screen, system should show the values as shown below
                > 10 days
Completed                Pending
          3                           2
I tried various options but could not achieve this.
Experts help expected. Kindly provide solution.
Regards,
M.M

Hi,
As per my understanding 1 firstly u have to find out
the no of days (diff between dates notification completion, notification creation date .)
then u have to create condition on no of days which u
have find.there u have to create one user entry
variable for the user can enter his own parametrs.
Right?????
If It is right..
here are the steps..
1st:in the query designer at key figure coloumn create
one local formula.in that local formula create formula
variable with replacement path.in that take reference character
notification completion.in the next tab take replace ment
as key.in the last tab select "date".
2nd: do the same thing for the notification creation date.
3 rd : create 3 rd local formula and do the substraction
for the first 2 local formulas.
4th:create codition on the difference which u have find with
on that condition u can create one user entry varibale.
5th:while u defining the query put these 2 dates,i,e
notification completion, notification creation date in the character block.
If not system will ignore the formula variable which u created in
above steps.
Hope this wil help u.
regards....KP

Set Default Value based on Field from another table for a custom object

I'm trying to set the default value on a custom object field to the value of an account field. I have tried the syntax 50 different ways, and just am getting no where. The account field label displays as DBA, the integration tag is ltDBA_ACCT, and it shows up in reporting fx area as Account.Text_22.
The custom object field I'm triying to update is also called DBA, which was originally the "NAME" required field. Does the table name, Account, have to be included? Do I need a function in front of the field?
I have been updating the external ID using the row ID with syntex <ID> (Less than ID greater than) so I know it is possible to set the Default Value, but <DBA>, <ltDBA_ACCT>, "Account"."DBA", and so on just don't not work.
If anyone knows how to enter this I'd really appreciate the help.

Ok, so if you want to default a field to the value from another object, you have to use the JoinFieldValue function. I think you understand that, based on your original post, but I want to be sure that you do.
Next, this will only work as a default if the record is created from the object that you wish to join on because a default works at record creation and the ID needs to be available for it to work properly. It will not work if you choose the related object record after the custom object record is created. You could set the value as a post-default, but that does not seem to meet your requirements.
The syntax for the Default Value would be as follows: JoinFieldValue(ref_record_type, foreign_key, field_name).
In your case, ref_record_type is '<Account>', foreign_key is [<AccountId>], and field_name is '<YourFieldName>'. The best way to determine what the field name is would be to create a new workflow for Account and use the Workflow Rule Condition expression builder to pick your field ("DBA") from the list. The value that is returned by the expression builder should be placed in the field_name variable in the JoinFieldValue function (minus the brackets and in single quotes).
Give this a shot and let me know how you do.

Set default value based on current day value and setItems in Design studio

Hello
I have 2 filters on my dashboard - year and month. The default display of the dashboard should populate current year data. Is it possible to create formula to populate dynamic default value based on the current date using setSelectedValue() ?
Also, for the calendar month, the items are set as below
DD_MONTH.setItems(DS_1.getMemberList("0CALMONTH",
MemberPresentation.INTERNAL_KEY, MemberDisplay.TEXT, 12, "ALL");
This displays month values as 01/2014, 02/2014 ... How can I change these value to display as January if mm = 01 and February if mm = 02 etc..
Thanks
Sirisha

Hi Victor,
I have tried using below statment to populate current year as the default selection value for the dropdown. Used it on Startup, but for some reason it loads all the data when the dashboard is opened the first time. Any ideas?
DS_1.setFilter("0CALYEAR",[Convert.subString(APPLICATION.getInfo().dateNowInternalFormat, 4,6)]);
Thanks

Setting prompt value based on another prompt selection

I have 3 prompts. The first one contains 'Y' and 'N'. The other 2 are for start-date and end-date so the report runs for this date range. I would like the start-date to be set to, say, '01/01/2009' if the user selects 'N' in the first prompt. If the user selects 'Y', the start-date will be set to, say, '02/01/2010'. These values are not dynamic though.
Please let me know how I can do this.
Thanks,
Bhusan

Sandeep,
Here is what I did.
1. The first prompt has 'Y' and 'N' that comes from a database table. So did not have to create these.
2. The second prompt - Used the following SQL for Show - select (case '@{LegacyVal}{N}' when 'N' then '01/01/2009' when 'Y' then '02/01/2010' end) from SubectArea."Registration Date". I kept "All Choices" checked. In the default to, I selected "All Choices".
Now when I test this and select any value from the first prompt, the second one does not change. It keeps the All Choices value always. What am I doing wrong here? I went through the earlier posts and tried to follow the steps, but looks like I am not doing the right way.
Thanks,
Bhusan
