How to force the user to enter a value in the prompt

Is there a way to force the user to enter a value in the prompt before they run the report?
We have a customer specific dashbaord. The user has to enter a customer number in Dashbaord prompt on a first page of the dashboard. We store that value in a presentation variable. That presenatation variable value is being referenced in all the other pages of the dashabord. If the user does not enter a values in the first page and directly navigates to the other pages on the dashbaord, the reports on the other pages start to run for all the customers. Is there a way to force the customer to enter a value in the prompt before running any of the reports on the dashboard?
Thanks!

by Answer prompts, do you mean Column prompt?
I can not use Column prompt in this senario as the user should not have to enter the same customer number over and over again when he navigates from one page to another on the same dashboards. If there is a way to default the column prompts then this would be an acceptable solution.
I have already defaulted the prompt to a value as suggested in hte blog, but the issues occurs when the user erases the defaulted value. Is there are way to set the default value within the report?
Can you please explaing mroe about option 3 regarding Java Script. Also please let me know what other options there are so that I can check whether they will fit my needs.
Thank you very much!

Force a user to enter a value for a parameter.

Hi,
I have a report with a bunch of parameters and I want to force the user to enter values for two parameters amongst all of them. Like for example when the user doesn't select values for those 2 parameters he should get a dialog box saying "please enter value for xyz parameter" or something like that, which will force the user to enter a value for the parameters before he can see the report.
Please let me know if BI Publisher can do this.
Thanks,
DY

Thanks for your replies BIPUser. I have recently started working on BI Publisher without a lot of help around.
The information in the link is what I was thinking of, if there is no such feature I'll have a default value for those 2 parameters.
Thanks,

Problem when Entering Decimal Values at Input Ready Query

Hi Everyone,
I have created Input ready query but when I am going to enter decimal values in input cell it takes as a round of value.
Example:- If I enter 1.234 value at input cell it takes as a 1 or if I enter 1.789 value then it takes as a 2 at cell.
The technical properties of Key Figure at Info object level is,
Radio Button :- Decimal
Drop Down :- FLTP (Floating Point)
But we want to whatever value will enter at input cell, the same value will save at real time info cube level.
Requirement :- If I enter 1.234 value at input cell it needs to take as a 1.234
Please suggest your comments/views.
Thanks

Hi Giradkar,

How can we prevent a user from entering a value in Parameter Field?

how can we prevent a user from entering a value in Parameter Field and Select-options Field?

make it invisible, make it inactive, make it display only.
if the field is not there or not to be seen the user WILL have problems inputting data.
BUT once the field is there you can NOT prevent that the user fills it with data.
all you can do is on PAI check if the data the user inputted was good or bad, and clear his inputs, but you can NOT prevent him inputting something.

Disable jTable so that user cant enter any value & is stopped to do so

Hi
my program has 2 options for user: 1. To enter a list of values(for which im using table), 2. To use default values embedded in the program.
for these options i have used jRadioButtons n ButtonGroup.When user selects DefaultValues radiobutton program uses default values,but when it selects DefaultValues radiobutton i want to disable the Table such that the user cannot enter any value in the cell and it should be visible to the user too that the table has been disabled.
The user should only b able to enter values in table if he/she selects the first option's radiobutton.
note: im using DefaultTableModel, if somebody can tell me any way other than using isCellEditable(),it would be more appreciatable
thanks

Restricting User to Enter Only Date Value

Dear Expertsl,
Can we restrict users to insert only date value (in RRMMDD format ) in a column whose data type is number,
Note that i cannot modify the column because there are already values entered in the column and cannot delete it.
Regards

Try to convert it to a date in the WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM-trigger, if it works, its a date, like
DECLARE
dt DATE;
BEGIN
dt:=TO_DATE(:THEITEM, 'MMYYYY');
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
    -- Show error message
    -- then raise error
    RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
END;

How to allow user to enter new values in a segmnt which's having a ValueSet

Hi Gurus
I am having a DFF segment where user needs the following validation. I have to check whether the value entered by user is having status number as 5 in a custom table. I can do this by Table type Validation.
But the problem here is, they should also be able to enter new values which not in that table.
How i can achieve this. Appreciate your help on this.
Thanks.
Praveen

Value sets allow only for standar list for validation, not a combobox that is what may help You to achieve what You want. You either have a restricted list or an open field to type whatever matches the format restrictions.
For what You specify, I see no reason on having a table validation is the user can after all enter new values, perhaps it's to have the table values as references and avoid duplicates. Workarounds may be:
Add an "others" value to the table, and enable another segment to enter new values and add custom validation to avoid duplicates and insert the new values to the table for future use.
Have an independent value set and add a customization to avoid duplicates (more difficult considering typos) and insert new values.

How to restrict user to enter duplicate items in Purchase Order Lines?

I have to do form personalization so that user cannot enter duplicate items in the PO.
At when-new-item-instance in PO-Approve field, I have created a database function that is taking the count of items and returning the count value.
In the condition I have given condition:
1<(select func_name(parameter) from dual)
10 message duplicate items in the po
But its not working fine.
Thanks & Regards
Sunny

Hi,
The issue is resolved on my own exploration. We need to maintain the different authorization keys for the status which we did not want a user to access. If we leave it blank it will allow user to access.

What is the best way to prompt a Form user to enter a value

Hi,
I apologize in advance if this topic has already been raised on the forum - I've done a search but couldn't find anything.
Basically I would be interested in finding out if there is a 'best way' to prompt and accept an entered value from a user. I am just experimenting at the moment with asking a user to enter a date value which will then be used in code. I am running Form 9.0.4.
Any suggestions or links would be gratefully accepted,
regards,
Kevin.

I am rather puzzled by the question. Forms primary use is to accept user input, and then respond to that input. It is no wonder a search does not turn anything up.
So there are a number of ways to accept input. The first that comes to mind is a simple input field on the canvas with some prompt text next to it.
I don't think there really is a "best practice". It really depends on what your form is doing.
If you explained what you mean by "which will then be used in code", or described what your form needs to do, then you would get some good suggestions.

JAVA CODE Restricting users from entering Fractional numbers in Data forms

Hi,
is there anyone who can help me with the Java Script code of ValidateData.js file?? I am very novice in scripting and find it very difficult to write a proper javascript code to restrict the users from entering fractional numbers to HEADCOUNT cell. I would very much appreciate if i get some help from anyone out there.
Users should be able to only enter whole numbers to the cells for Headcount entry.
Kindly give me the layout of the script to be used. Has anyone out there ever done anything like this??
Looking forward for a help.
Thanks.

Hi,
I think customCellEnterPre and customCellValidatePre is the function you'd be using
