User Entry - Required on Hidden Sub-Form ?

Hi,
I have a drop down list with option 'YES' or 'No' if the user selects 'Yes' then another part of my form becomes visible and it is mandatory that the user completes the fields on this form. If the user selects 'No' then they will never see the additional form and therefore they will not be required to complete the fields.
I have also added an actions which diplays a txt box warning the user that they must complete the additional form ( this displays if the user selects 'Yes').
I have inserted the script associated with the drop down menu below, can anyone explain to me what additional script I need to make the fields on my additional form mandatory when visible and optional or not mandatory when hidden and where I need to place this script?
Any help would be greatly appreciated I am really stuck with this one ?

Hi,
You are calling the pagename Documentation/CatalogManager/addrow (hidden input in the form)
Could you check in the second template addrowJava.jsp (i.e. in admin UI) if the pagename is Documentation/CatalogManager/addrow or Documentation/CatalogManager/addrowJava.
The pagename should be Documentation/CatalogManager/addrow, if not, you must change it.
I hope this helps.
Best regards,
Gerardo

I have set form fields as User required and yet the form still prints/save when empty.

I have set form fields as User required and yet the form still prints/save when empty. I also have an email button on the form but that works correctly by not allowing the user to email the form with the required fields empty.
What script do I need to additionally restrict both printing and saving if the required fields are empty?
You would think that just setting that option would restrict those functions the same as it does for the email button.
Please be specific with your response if you are gracious enough to offer one. I have been searching the forum all morning for the answer to this and I really didn't understand any of the solutions offered to others enough to use those in my own form.
The required fields are:
Social (social security number)
Name
Headquarters
Residence
The next question I have is if there is a way to make individual signature fields mandatory if they are digital signatures?
In other words, I don't want the individual to be able to email the form to the next person if he/she hasn't applied their digital signature.

Saving can always be done, even when mandatory fields are empty. This is by design. And that is correct. Suppose you have a big form and 2 people need to fill it out. How can you fill out a first part and then send it to the second person without saving.
Same for printing. Same for your signature fields.
What I would do, is to put a "watermark" on the form that you show on preSave and prePrint if the form is incomplete. Just a static text on your form. Then the user will see that they need to do more. Also, on preSave and prePrint, you can show a warning popup to tell the user about the missing fields. You can then still cancel their action if the user decides not to save/print anyway.

How to Enable the LOV to query for partial user entries in af:query in an ADF search form

Hi guys,
I have faced one issue in creating a search form in ADF, in that I have used af:query and table region. and I have attached an lov vo to the base vo for the list of values and given UI hint as Input values with List of values. Now the issue is that I have given auto submit property as true so when I give some value suppose "Jan-14" and tab out it gives me all the correct results. but if I give like "Jan%" and then tab out then it does not give me any value. Could you kindly help me with some solution. I am using Jdev 11.1.1.6.0.
Thanks,
Tanmoy

To enable the LOV to query for partial user entries, we can trap the 'LaunchPopupListener' event and add custom code there. Within the af:query component, just wondering how can we set property the 'LaunchPopupListener' for the search criteria ?

User entry form with submit facility

Hi,
I want to create and user entry form, which users can fill there information and submit it. The information i want to insert in table in oracle db and not in webcenter site db.
I am looking in developer guide on page 217 with topic "Code entry form", there they have created a form and inserted data in Employee_info table. I think they have created table somewhere in catalogManager.
Please can anyone tell me, how i can directly connect to my oracle db and proceed with form submit?
Can i create jsp and java file , in the same way we create in our normal application?
Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
You can use most Java code inside a jsp-type CSElement to save the form data in a way that you're familiar with. I'd suggest doing one of the following:
a) Create a separate connection pool on the WebCenter Sites appserver for the oracle database, and use your own code to access this connection pool and store data in the table
or
b) post the form to your "normal application" and have that process the form and store the data, assuming that's where you'll be using the data.
You could also create a non-managed jsp inside the WebCenter Sites appserver, but this could be hard to maintain.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Stephan.

Question about scripts in repeatbel sub-form objects

Hi,
I am working on creating a form which has a sub-form that can be repeated as many times as the user wants to. There is an ‘Add’ button which creates an instance of the sub-form on the form, when clicked.
On the sub-form I have 5 numeric fields say a1-a5 and 1 field say b1 which is the sum of all these 5 fields.
On the Main form I have a 2 fields - say t1 and f1.
The requirement is t1=f1+b1+(sub-form instance 2’s b1)+(sub-form instance 3’s b1)+ and so on …depending on as many sub-form instances there are that the user adds.
I have created Actions using the Action Builder such that when any of a1 to a5 fields are exited, b1 will be updated with the sum of a1-a5. At the same time t1 will be updated with sum of f1 and b1.
This works great for 1 instance of the sub-form. But when ‘Add’ is clicked and a second instance of the sub-form is added, then the script does not work as it did for the first instance of the sub-form. So for any instances of the sub-form added, when values are added to a1-a5 and the fields are existed, b1 does not get updated.
How can I fix this?
See attached form that I am creating for clarity.
‘Total Hours worked this week’ is the t1 I was talking about. See how it gets updated when values are entered in any of the hour fields. It works fine with the default instance of the T100/Strategic/Advantage Customer Information sub-form as well. But when I click on ‘Add Customer’ button to add another instance of the sub-form, it does not work as expected.
Please let me know if it is still not clear and I can explain the issue.

Vjay's solution works great! Essentially, take out all of your other programming on the individual fields, and hard script the field you want the sum to show on. By directly referencing the fields, Adobe is able to tell the difference between one instance and another and doesn't get them mixed up. (I have found for some of these dynamic functions, the Action Builder doesn't really work, so you need to code by hand)
My only suggestion, would be to perhaps modify Vjay's code a little, and use Javascript instead of Formcalc. We have run into the problem where if a user is using the form from a webserver or something and hasn't actually been saved to the user PC, the Formcalc scripts won't run, only Javascript. But it all depends on how you are using your forms.
Here is your line of code changed to Javascript, in case you want to make that change. (there's really not much difference at all)
this.rawValue = sum(CustomerTimeBD.Row1.Cell1.rawValue + CustomerTimeBD.Row1.Cell2.rawValue + CustomerTimeBD.Row2.Cell1.rawValue + CustomerTimeBD.Row2.Cell2.rawValue + CustomerTimeBD.Row3.Cell1.rawValue + CustomerTimeBD.Row3.Cell2.rawValue + CustomerTimeBD.Row4.Cell1.rawValue + CustomerTimeBD.Row4.Cell2.rawValue + CustomerTimeBD.Row5.Cell1.rawValue);

Hello All,
I am using Livecycle to create a form and want following functionality:
If a particular value is selected from drop-down box, it should hide/show a sub-form.
However, I am not able to do it. I looked at adobe livecycle docs, Adobe user forums, and GOOGLE...but fail to run the code.
I have used following PDF as example:

Make user back and forth with in form between sub_forms?

Hello
I am developing a adobe interactive form with 4 sections/blocks to represent each sub form. I have 4 sub forms, say my_sub_form_1..... my_sub_form_2.......... my_sub_form_3........ my_sub_form_4, say, here user is family_head
My requirement is; I need to put a BUTTON_1 (button caption is "GO_TO_my_sub_form_4" its for adding family members) on the my_sub_form_2 (it represents Family_head_details), when user clicks this button, then i the user (cursor) has to go to my_sub_form_4 so that user will enter some data there.
In the same way, I need to put a BUTTON_2 (button caption is "GO_BACK_TO_my_sub_form_2") on the my_sub_form_4(it represents Family_member_details), when user clicks this button, then i the user (cursor) has to go to my_sub_form_2 back.
So, say, there are 4 family members in the family, so, user will click the BUTTON_1..... 4 times and adds 4 people details each time, finally, submits the form.
Pls. let me know in Java Script,
1) How can i take the user/cursor from 2nd section to 4th section on clicking of the button_1?
2) How can i get back to the original section/sub form (section_2)?
3) Do i need to create the INSTANCES each time for the section_4 (family_member_section)?
4) How can i manage the adding each time data of a family member, here its 4 members?
5) Say, after adding the 1st member, pls. let me kmow where the 1st member data will be stored? then 2nd member? like so....
May be in other case, there are 2 family members, in other case 10 members, its dynamic
Thank you

OK, dwb
In our case both computers had the same account names:
same for me
DWB for me and BeyeB for her.
OK
By user directory, I mean I copy everything from the BeyeB folder of her computer to the BeyeB folder on my computer.
OK
BTW, while doing this, I'm logged into her account on my computer. No, I don't lose ownership of file and yes, all her prefs including desktop settings are kept.
Aha, I was doing it from my computer on my account.
so to be clear. connected over FW. you are on your computer in her user file, BeyeB. you get the files from user BeyeB on her computer to sync to your computer her user account BeyeB.
and that works? Files need replacing that might be in use? Do you need to log in and out after you sync to see changes?
Or do you mean the other way. you are on your computer and in user BeyeB and send the files to her computer user BeyeB?
this would make more sense to me. confusing or?

Add instance of 2 sub forms

I am using Live Cycle ES2 to create a complex form. I need to add an instance of 2 sub forms (A and B) that are on 2 separate pages. I have used Action Builder to create 2 conditions, but this results in sub form A following sub form A, and B following B. Whereas I require the sub form A and B to follow after the initail instance of sub form B. I'd be grateful of any ideas.

AP Aging report - key date for user entry

Hi All,
We have a requirement to calculate aging buckets like 0-30,31-60,61-90...etc.
I know the key date for this report is created on net due date in SAP standard report.
In standard SAP report , key date is always a system date(SY-DATUM).
What we need for this report is , we need to get all the invoices which are outstanding as of that date(the date which user enters).
If user enters today's date(08/28/07) , he should get all the invoices outstanding till that date in aging buckets and if user enters some date in the past like 07/26/07, he should get all the invoices outstanding as of that date.
Can someone Pls tell me if aging buckets are calculated based on a user entry ?
Regards,
Kumar

Hi Voodi,
Aging in the standard report is being calculated like below...
1.For open items
Posting date<key date
Item status = O
2.Posting date < keydate and clearing date > key date and net due date with offsets on keydate ( key date + 1 - keydate+30 --- for 1-30 days) like wise for all aging buckets.
in this scenarion , key date is always system date ie today's date.
But user wants to get all the invoices based on his user entry...
is this possible with the same standard key date variable or do we need implement any other logic???
Regards,
Kumar

Prevent multiple users from editing/approving the same form SPD 2013,SP 2013

Hello all, I have a workflow with a to do task, the task is assigned to a group so any of the users in that group can go in and do a quality check on form data and approve it. How do I prevent multiple users from working on the
same form? do I just require check out? or is there a way to notify the rest of the group that a user has already started the quality check.

The "Require Checkout" option is your best bet. You can also enable the auto checkout on edit option to allow minimal effort on the side of the user. Other users will then get the error message stating the item is checked out, if they try to
edit it.
If you'd like, you could add a workflow to the task list that triggers when something is changed. That workflow can check if the item is checked out and if so, email the other users assigned to the task.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

Pop up Window before saving remembering the need (forcing) to fill required fields in a form

Hi!
I searched the "old" forum and have very good help from UVSAR but unfortunately I'm not able to access my message sent to that forum anymore.
[I could never thank all the people who answered because I keep receiving "Your submission has triggered the spam filter and will not be accepted.""]
I've have never use Java scripts in my life: I started about three days ago.
1) I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro X (Windows 7)
2) I've created a form using Microsoft Word and save it as a pdf file.
3) After I created a form using Acrobat Pro X;
3.1.) This form it's not going to be submitted over Internet. It will be send by e-mail to some persons. They will receive it, fill in the form and send it back to me via e-mail. Note: I will save it with extended rights in order to allow to be read with acrobat reader (I'm the only one of the group having Professional edition).
4) In that form I've created some text fields (for now it's just what I need - no radio buttons, dropdown
menus, and so...)
5) Choosed Properties and marked 7 fields as "required";
6) Used a script I found in here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/784322 (thank you for the authors of the thread)
if (!event.target.valueAsString) {
app.alert("My text My text", 3);
7) This script allows me to remember people to fill that 7 specific fields (when using mouse or tab).
8) So... What I really need? Here are the reasons for my request for help:
8.1.) When people use the Acrobat Reader Save button (not a button I created inside the form) it will pop up an alert message. Users will receive a pop up window telling them they need to fill those fields before saving the form and send it back to me. Can someone share a script, please? Thanks in advance.
8.2.) Is there a way to colorize the fileds that need to be filled? Again I only learned where to insert a java script yestaerday sou I'm not able to write one. I'm sorry for my newbie questions.
8.3.) Last question: In one of the fields there will be an e-mail address. On the end of the form I want to create a button like "Send by e-mail" and When someone press that button the e-mail will be sent to the address that was written in the earlier specific field. How can I do this (link a button to an e-mail address in a specific field)? Can someone help me with a script or ideas? Hope I was clear.
8.1.) UVSAR sent me the following code that works fine untill I save the document for the first time. Affter that he never shows me pop up window again.
var isFilled = true;
for (var i=0;i < this.numFields;i++){
var f = this.getNthFieldName(i);
if (this.getField(f).required && !this.getField(f).valueAsString) isFilled = false;
if (!isFilled) app.alert("You must complete all the required fields");
8.3.) With the help of UVSAR I used:
var mailto = this.getField('emaddr').valueAsString;
if (mailto!='') this.mailForm({ bUI:true, cTo:mailto, cSubject:"This is the subject", cMsg: "This is the body of
the mail." });
else app.alert("Cannot submit form until the email address field is completed");
but gives me an error (Note: I named the filed with e-mail "emaddr")
Once again Thank you so very very much to all the kind people who take their time to share knowledge...
I'm not a native speaker, sorry for some errors

Passing values to sub-forms (Varaible scoping)

I have a "parent" form that calls one of 6 subforms. I'm trying to figure out how to pass values derived in the parent to a sub form.
I am running IdM 8.1.0.9 in glassfish 2.1.1. I set up these test forms to work through this:
my Parent Form:
<Form name='parent' objectLocationID='objectType=UserForm&objectName=parent&objectPath=0&isBegin=true'>
<Display class='EditForm'/>
    <Include>
      <ObjectRef id='#ID#UserForm:child1' type='UserForm' name='child1'/>
    </Include>
    
    <defvar name='myvalue'>
      <s>test123</s>
    </defvar>
    <Field name='myfield'>
      <Expansion>
        <ref>myvalue</ref>
      </Expansion>
    </Field>

    <FormRef name='child1'/>
</Form>
my Child1 Form:
        <Form name='child1' objectLocationID='objectType=UserForm&objectName=child1&objectPath=0&isBegin=true'>
            <Display class='EditForm'/>

            <Field name='subtext'>
                <Display class='Text'>
                    <Property name='title'>
                        <concat>
                          <s>pre1:</s>

                           <ref>myvalue</ref>
                          <s>:1post</s>
                        </concat>
                    </Property>
                </Display>
            </Field>
        </Form>I was hoping that child forms would share the scope of the parent, and I could just use a <ref> tag in the child form, but that doesn't seem to work. So I started looking at FieldRef/FormRef but I'm not sure they are the right answer either.
When the include in the child form is uncommented, I get :
An unrecoverable error has occurred processing the request. Contact your system administrator.
Syslog ID = LG-0405-115539.
I'm guessing that this is because I include a form that includes this form, and created an endless include loop?
When the FieldRef is uncommented, I get this error:
Attruibute "objectLocationID" must be declared for element type "FieldRef".
The <Variable> tag (defined as external) looks promising, but I haven't run across a good example of how to use it.
When I try to add a <Variable> to my parent form, I get the error: Content of element type "Form" must match...
This doc: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-5821/bvaex?a=view
says that <Variable> is a valid form element, but IdM disagrees.
Any suggestions on how to achieve the passing of values from one for to another would be greatly appreciated.

An advice I usually follow: Skip defvars and variables, and stick to fields, hidden, not using any Display class that is, if you just need to use the field as an variable. Field are a lot more practical IMHO.

Open a form as a pop up (sub form)

In Dreamweaver 8, how do I open a form as a pop up (or sub form)?
On a form users will be able to select an item. When they do I want to open a form, on top of the form that the user made the selection, and display information about their selection.
Many thanks in advance

Once again... jQuery to the rescue!

User should only work on created Form

Hi all!
Here is my problem.
A user is working in B1. For example:With a double_klick on a Textfield and a user created Form will be shown.
No the User should only work with this Form until its closed! There should be no possibility to open an other form or so.
Like if you get a MessageBox, there is no other "normal" way to work on until you close this Messagebox.
May it is possible to let the Form act like such a Messagebox.
Thanks for replies..
Matthias

The Sample you speak of show the hack/workaround (Not true modal functionality).
From the sample:
    Private Sub SBO_Application_ItemEvent(ByVal FormUID As String, ByRef pVal As SAPbouiCOM.ItemEvent, ByRef BubbleEvent As Boolean) Handles SBO_Application.ItemEvent
        ' Don't let the user to move to other forms
        Dim EventEnum As SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes
        EventEnum = pVal.EventType
        If bModal And FormUID <> "Modal" Then
            oForm.Select() ' Select the modal form
            BubbleEvent = False
        End If
        ' If the modal from is closed...
        If FormUID = "Modal" And (EventEnum = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_FORM_CLOSE) And bModal Then
            bModal = False
        End If
    End Sub
In the sample the bModal bool set to true when opening the form block all events by selecting the modal form on each event and setting bubbleevent to false.. the EventEnum = SAPbouiCOM.BoEventTypes.et_FORM_CLOSE set the bModal to false so events can continue
Biggest problem with this is if you use a eventfilter (which you should do)... here you need to remove the event filter along with setting the BModal (not in the sample), and reapply it after form close.
