Viewing XML Forms in a folder

Hi, I wanted to know if we can control what XML form shows up in a Document library i.e. if I right click on a folder in KM, say Supply Chain > New > Forms, then is there a way by which I can control what forms show up when I click on "New". Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Sri

Hi Victor, Thanks for your help. In my portal, the Document libraries I am trying to access i.e. SRM, SCM, Netweaver etc. are in:
root > GCP Content > GCP Documents > Solutions and Services. Now, when I go to any of these folders, i.e. SRM etc. I want to be able to control which forms are being displayed. I did create a test folder at the location which you have mentioned and also mentioned the required Folder Path but still it does not show up in : root > GCP Content > GCP Documents > Solutions and Services. Can you please provide me with some assistance? Thanks.
Sincerely,
Sri

How to achieve Single content but multiple views in XML form builder

Hi,
I have requirement something like this.
I am using xmlform builder to generate the content template for our portal.
I have 5 links where I need to render html content dynamically. I am using NewsExplorer and NewsBrowser layout. Presently I have created 5 xmlforms project and design the layout in the renderlist item. I am not satisfied with my approach. It seems very inefficient of doing it as all the content layout is same. but all the different iviews has different content to pick.
To make myself clear I am giving with an example
I have two iviews
Policy1 and Policy2 which are KM Navigation Iviews whose init path are diferent path to get the different content.
As the content has to generate dynamically , I am using NewsAuthor to create the content.
To achieve this , I have created 2 xmlform project( though the rendering format is SAME) and 4 iviews ( news explorer and newsbrowser for each ie policy1 and policy2).
Since I need to generate some 100 contents like this .
I do not think my approach is a very efficient one though the rendering format remains same.
I wish to achieve this by using one xml form project , one News author and one news browser to create different content as long as the rendering template format is same
this is something like this
when I click on the Policy1 link for content creation , It should only shows Policy1 content format . and should not display the content authoring for policy2. This holds good for the viewing also .and also I would like to create only one xml form project as long as the rendering format is same.
can anyone please tell me how to achieve this ?
thanks in advance

Hi Jasmine,
To make your project link alone visible, try this
To make the global setting for the availability of XML forms, choose Content Management > Form-Based Publishing > Forms Availability > Global Setting.
To make specific settings for folders, choose Content Management > Form-Based Publishing > Forms Availability > Folder Settings.
You need to give the name(s) of those XML project(s) you want to display in the Forms to Include parameter in the Settings for Folders.

XML Form Viewing

Does anybody know if it is possible to use the KM navigation iview to determine the document displayed in a KM document iview?
I am using XML forms to create structured content. I would like to have a list of documents from a KM folder (created using the XML forms) listed in the detailed navigation and the content of the document displayed in a KM document iview when selected by the user.

Hi,
There are a couple of options. For a rough start, you can open the XML in a web browser, then right click and select view source.
I am working from memory, but in Acrobat 7 you can import XML data (just can't remember the actual menu). Navigate to the returned XML and when you click OK, the returning data should be inserted into the right fields. One thing you need to make sure is that in LC Designer all of the fields/objects that you want data to be returned for are bound to name/normal in the Object > Binding palette. If objects are bound to none, then they will not participate in the data processing.
If you distribute your form through www.acrobat.com, then there are basic tools for viewing/processing the data online.
Hope that helps,

Viewing XML in forms 10g

How to view XML in forms 10g?
I have a message in XML/HL7 format and display information a end user.
Thanks you all.
Dario

RTM first!
If it's PL/SQL written in the form, that executes on the application server, that has a PL/SQL engine.
If it's a call to a procedure stored in the database, that executes in the database.
If it's SQL, then that can execute nowhere else except in the database.
Do not imagine that the applet does any other thing except rendering what you see on screen and handling the clicks and keystroke to the application server (which does the further processing, handling to the database the SQL that has to be executed).
Briefly, that's the basics.

How to view XML in forms 10g?

There are many options to do this. From creating additional "locking" table to keep track of what users are doing, to simply use forms built-in Lock_Record in when-new-record-instance.
One option is to use dbms_application_info in when-new_record-instance and set action to the customer_id.
DECLARE
CURSOR c_action IS
select username
from v$session
where action = :customers.customer_id;
v_user varchar2(50);
BEGIN
OPEN c_action;
FETCH c_action INTO v_user;
CLOSE c_action;
IF v_user is NOT NULL THEN
     message ('User '||v_user||' is working with customer '||:customers.customer_id);
     set_block_property ('customers',UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
ELSE
     set_block_property ('customers',UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
     dbms_application_info.set_action (:customers.customer_id);
END IF;
END;You may add check for record status, or use set_item_property instead of block property etc.

Link to a folder in XML form

Hi Guys!
I was faced with a strange problem.
I want to add link to some folder to an XML form. Like with link to 'Read more' document in SAP's example.
But...
If I select folder in a moment of creation of XML form via standard browser controll, there is path to that folder ('/documents/Public documents' for example) in a field. On presentation time (in NewsExplorer iView) clicking on that link opens 'http://myportal.domain/irj/go/km/docs/documents/Public documents/' instead of 'http://myportal.domain/irj/go/km/navigation/documents/Public documents/'...
What can I do with that?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
DK

Hi Denis Kleymenov,
If you do not set "Start In" property of the "Browser" control, by default it will show you "root>>documents>>"
root = "http://servername:10000/irj/go/km/docs/"
For example if you select an image which is resided under "root\documents\teamindia.jpg" it will show you below path.
"http://servername:10000/irj/go/km/docs/documents/teamindia.jpg"
not as you expected below
"http://servername:10000/irj/go/km/nagivation/documents/teamindia.jpg"
if you need any specific repository folder for the target selection. Please set "Start In" property of the "Browser" control like below
Ex:
/Your repository name/followed by folder structure/
/XTest/Home/Documents/Images/
Thanks,
Satyadev

XML forms app with link pointing to KM folder

Hi guys!
I need to create in XML forms an application for messages. A message should include a link, which will point into KM folder with documents or photos. This link can be for each message different.
How to achieve this?
Thanx!
Peter

Hello Peter,
If you use a "Browser" Element in the XML Forms Builder, you can assign the type Object or Preview for images. The data Sheme should point to Rid or Image (depends what you want), this is a property of the data sheme element in the lower left corner.
hope this helps,

XML forms - how to assign KM folder for documents?

Hi guys!
I have created an XML forms application and iViews for authoring and display.. But one of the Iviews' property (KM navigation iView) is the name of the folder for the XML documents...
My question is - how to set, where to save the documents form XML forms application? In which KM folder?
I created the application, but in KM was no new folder for my documents.. Is it needed to set-up explicitly?
Thanx for answer!
Peter

Hi Peter
The location has to be specified if you are creating a KM Navigation iview.You can specify the location to an already existing folder. It is better to create separate folder in KM for storing the documents.
The folder path has to be specified in the "Path to Initially Displayed Folder" property of the KM Navigation iview.The default value is
Path to Initially Displayed Folder:/documents/News
In this case all the documents created is stored in the "News" folder.
The documents can also be created by using the menu options in KM. (Folder->New->Forms->your form)

Thanks and best regards,
Vimol

Hi ,
On the tool bar you have an option "Browser" which is next to "HTML Editor" .
You know that for using these elements wo have to map them with Data Schema.
Step by step
1. In data Model Under Data Schema Add a child and name it Read_More.
2. In the left hand corner ,click on tab Type and from the drop down select "rid"
3.Click on the "Browser" from the toolbar (as told earlier) and drag and drop it on the form.
4. Drag the Data schema which u have made(Read_more) and drop it on the browser on form. On right hand side u will se the mapping done.
5.Click on the "Browser" which is there in the form and on the right hand side of the form u will see the property window.
6.In property window change the value of action property to "Item Entry point"
7. Repeat step 3 and 4 in Render and show form but using "label" nad not browser.
Do not forget to add Save button in Edit Form.
This will solve your problem.
PS:Rewards Point Please.

Creating folder by save event on xml form

Hi.
I created a form with the xml-forms builder. So every new Item is stored in the "Path to initially Folder" with its guid.
But I need the following by clicking on the "create" button:
1. create a new Folder under "Path to initially displayed folder"
2. create the xml-file for the item under 1.
Any idea?
Thanks for all helpful answers

Hi,
Create a KM Navigation Iviews which points to /documents/myNews , Now create a custon layout set or use news browser layout set for users (who need to see the news and cannot create) and for other users who can also create or edit news , a new layout can be created or news explorer layout set can be used.
For creating a custom layout .
Duplicate a default layout say News Explorer. and name it as Custom_News_Explorer.
this can be used for the users or gorup with create and edit option.
Duplicate this and make another layout, say Custom_News_Browser.
Click on Collection renderer > Displayed Properties
here you can see entries like rnd:icon,rnd:displayname(noWrapping/contentLink/maxChars=30)+rnd:action
the "rnd:action" is for the context menu option please remove this.
You can also customize your colums of navigation iview this way.
Hope this to be helpful.

regards
ram

Hi ram singh,
There are some steps that you could follow :
1. Create the XML FORMS using the XML FORMS Builder
    a) On Edit panel create your form that will be visible on NewsExplorer Layouset.
    b) On RenderList create how your form wil be visible on NewsBrowser Layouset.
2. Create first Iview for Admin:
   a) Set the layouset to "NewsExplorer"
   b) Set the "Path to Initially Displayed Folder" to "/MyFolderForXMLFORM"
   c) Set the "Path to Initially Displayed Folder" to "/MyFolderForXMLFORM"
3. Create second Iview for users:
   a) Set the layouset to "NewsBrowser"
   b) Set the "Path to Initially Displayed Folder" to "/MyFolderForXMLFORM"
   c) Set the "Path to Initially Displayed Folder" to "/MyFolderForXMLFORM"
That's all! Now you can create new items using the Admin iView, which will be storage on KM path that you had set on steps 2 and 3. When you open your User Iview will be show all xml files that exists on your "/MyFolderForXMLFORM".

Background color on XML form

Hi,
I've created a 20x20 image of the background color I want, upload it to KM, and then use that in the Background Image parameter of the XML form. (the Background Repeat Mode is set to Repeat.)
It doesn't seem to work .any idea why ?
Regards,
Hadar

Hi Hadar,
You want to set a background image for the Show form
1.Select the Show form by clicking on the root node in the tree view.
2.Enter the address of the background image into the property background-image.
You have the following options:
You can enter the URL of an image file.
You can enter the parameter %imagepath% followed by the file name.
The parameter %imagepath% references a cross-project folder for images.
To define this folder, choose &#56256;&#56518; Global Options from the XML Forms Builder, and enter the complete path to a folder in a KM repository (for example, /documents/Globalimages) into the field Global Path for Images.
3.Choose the value repeat for the property background-repeat so that the image is repeated over the entire background.

Tamil K

File name of xml form

I have created a new xml form.
For the name, I have used a label with property "displayname".
When I save the form, in the KM I can view the file with the name that I assigned, but if I go with the mouse over the file I see in the button bar that the original name is another.
There is one methods to change this name ? or save the file with a fixed name ?

Hi Loris,
its not possible to save the XMLFormsItem with a fixed name. Every time you are creating a new item, there is a unique id generated which is used as "real" item name.
This mechanism avoids conflicts with other items stored in that folder.
Regards
