Web Form in Task List and Security

Hi,
I have a couple of specific questions regarding Task List; below is a simplified example of my questions
1. Say, I have a 2 web forms (X,Y) that are part of a Task List 1. Group A has been given access to both web forms X and Y. Group A also has access to Task List 1. Group B has been given access to only web form X. Group B also has access to Task List 1. Now, everything is good for users belonging to Group A. However, users belonging Group B has a specific issue. They still see the "Web form Y" in the Task List Selection on the left. However they cant open the web form Y on the right side which is good.
My question is, is there a way to prevent users from even seeing this "Web Form Y" in the selection list? The problem is they shouldnt even see that particular web form as a choice and moreover this web form that they havent been given access to becomes part of the Task List completion status, forcing them to click on "Complete" for an empty web form.
Is there some setting that could prevent unassigned web forms based on security from showing up in the Task List for various groups (similar to security restricted members not showing up in web forms)? Or is creating several different Task List the only work around?
2. I have started a WorkFlow via FILE->WORKFLOW->MANAGE PROCESS and defined required Scenario and Version members. This seems to work just fine for my created Task Lists with Web Forms. Is there another intermitent process to connect the WORKFLOW with the created Task Lists? Or does Hyperion Planning automatically assume the Task List belong to available WorkFlow?
Another question I have is in the Task List creation menu, when creating an individual Task, there are several options for "Task Type", one of which is WorkFlow. What is the difference between this WorkFlow option and the WorkFlow under the File menu? Is is that the WorkFlow created as Task becomes part of a Task List? Is that the only difference, ie make WorkFlow creation part of Task List versus not part of a Task List?
Appreciate all your inputs
Thanks

Hi,
1. Probably you may try "Manage Security filters", but im not sure. If it doesnt work then no way other than creating two tasklists.
2. FYI, workflow will not promote either tasklist nor the webform. it only promotes the "DATA". u shud be careful creating forms for different level users ex: A basic user entry form cant be created for Next level user say manager. he l want to see only his entity level data not the level 0 in our terms.
3. File->Workflow : will be used to start the workflow by the administerator.
Tasklist Type-> workflow : Will be used by the "users" to promote their subsequent data entered or loaded at their level

SSL certificate - securing web form submission - privacy, usability and Adobe's UX design ethos

Hi,
(newbie alert)
I'm just learning BC and it doesn't seem too bad. One problem I have is the shared certificate and I wonder if there are plans to address this shortcoming in the short term?
Privacy is a growing concern in Australia (in addition to specific new legal requirements). The web forms that we will use are likely to contain personal information. These should be secured by a certificate.
If you accept that most end users are not tech-savvy then you might agree with the premise that "Users should not see different domain names in the address bar when submitting personal information".
Switching domains, multiple times for web forms submission or ecommerce, is in my view, a pretty simplistic and business-centric (as opposewd to user-centric) design approach to the task.
How does Adobe explain their committment to the end-user and their system design decisions regarding the shared certificate situation? I'd be interested to know if Adobe believes this is a "good-enough" solution based on a range of factors, especially expediency for Adobe. Or are there concrete plans to "fix" this (in my view) sub-optimal situation in the near-term?
Happy to discuss further.
Cheers
BCStarter

Hey there,
It is an integral part of how the system works in terms of the system itself and the business model, So it wont be any way to change it any time soon without a big change from BC on how BC works.
Web forms in BC can be secured with a certificate. Many systems change domain for secure subdomains etc, most people are not tech savy and they actually do not even notice things like change of domain, most actually do not check the SSL certificate. You can even just put graphics of lock symbols and say your form is secure, even when it is not and people fill it in. (Studies have shown this)
With many eCommerce sites, booking sites etc under my belt, with good UI Design and site flow and good information about being secure etc to the end user - No issues with clients and clients happy with the sales they get through. The domain thing has never been an issue.
I seen people complain about it on the forums before but looking at the sites, its the user experience flow of the site itself being the primary problem.
Yep, nice if it was all under the same domain, but this will not likely change in BC especially any time soon, but a site built well - this really does not matter that much, Google for example even offers anaytlitcs settings to work cross domain so they fully well know things like this work on modern websites.

Strategy in task list and Strategy based Maintenance Plan

Dear Gurus,
I have some doubt about
is it same if we create a single cycle plan with a task list in which maintenance strategy let say A is being used and a maintenance plan strategy based let say A and task list without any strategy
can some one explain use of strategy in task list and maintenance plan
Regards
Armaan

Hi,
In Strategy Based Plans :- When ur entering strategy in initial screen of IP42 then inside the plan system will allow u to select tasklists created with that strategy only ...
In Single Cycle Plans :- Here even though if u select tasklist of a particular strategy , system copies all the operations of the tasklist to the order...
From your above example :- Single Cycle Plan if cycle is monthly is equal to strategy based plan having only 1Month package .
further package in strategy allows u to select which operations of tasklist u want for 1Month..

Web Form :Number of rows and columns

Hi All,
I have a web form with many rows and columns . Is it possible for a user to view only a limited rows in the form ? Not using Adhoc/Analyze option . since there are formula rows which wont appear in Analyze grid.
The user want to see only 5 to 10 random rows in the form ? How to do this ?
Please help.

I remember an option in 11.1 which allows users to dynamically add rows and I cannot find that in 11.1.2.2
I think the user will have to always update the user variable to what he want to see.

Task List and MIC

Dear all,
Can you pls clarify what is task list and how it is related to MIC.
Regards
Sougata Das.

Hi,
In SAP PM ->We use Tasklist for preventive maintenance purpose , it is where we record set of Tasks/ operations that we need to perform for maintenance activities , the set of operations can be as specified in Manfacturers manual
MIC :- Master Inspection Characteristic we can link to operation in Tasklist
For one Operaiton in tasklist we can have any number of MICs linked ..
In PM :- We have Eqpt tasklist, Function location tasklist , General tasklist
Thus this Tasklist is used in Maintenance Plan with calibraiton order type PM06 , On scheduling in IP10 Order gets created with Tasklist operations , one releasing the Calibration order ->Inspection Lot gets created and MIC mentioned in tasklist ..

Lost Webform / Task List / Dimension security

Hi all
Running 11.1.2.1 - Classic Planning App with Shared Services, Essbase etc.
Mysteriously (or maybe not so), one of our two applications has lost all of its artefact level security - ie there are no longer any native groups assigned to Dimensions, Webforms or Task Lists when looking at these through Workspace. This is confirmed when users log in with their id's, as they have no access to anything.
IT team inform me that they were having some database issues this morning, during which I inadvertently carried out a refresh of this application (including security filters). This is the only thing that I can put it down to, although I still cant fathom why this would have the affect it did. Unfortunately (slaps own hand), I didnt take a backup of anything (ie security through SS) before running the refresh.
After a little testing in our development environment it looks like if I use the 'Security'/'Access Permissions'/'Groups' and 'Users' (when looking at the application through Application Groups / Default Application Group within Shared Services), I can Migrate this from a file backup over the problem application and reinstate the security to webforms etc.
However I do not have a recent file backup taken manually available to do this.....
We schedule backups of everything nightly. Is there a particular file we could pick up from last nights backup that would in essence have the same affect as doing the above?
Thanks for any advice given.
JB

John
Thanks for your response, I have asked our IT team exactly what is backed up and will see what their response is? Is it certain files that we will need to restore if doing this?
As an update, I tried the method that worked in Dev, in Prod using just a singular group. This failed with this error:

How to launch business rules from forms in task list

Hello,
in Planning 11.1.1.3 how can we launch the business rules associated to the data forms using the task lists?
I know we can build a task that launches a business rule but we don't know how to pass parameters/members to the BR while if it is launched from the data form the parameters are passed from the form itself...
Thank you

After two hours searching on manuals and forums we found the solution: menu Edit L-> launch rules...
Sorry

Task list and calendar apps cream of the crop?

whats the best task and calendar app. I like my notebook app but it freezes. What works best for you guys?

Hi,
You can create your own reports for this purpose using some sql scripting on your application's repository schema. You could pass the below query to an asp/jsp page or to another 3rd party reporting tool. You can then attach the url to the task list of whoever needs to see this. Or simply enough, you can dump the results to an excel file and e-mail it.
select     o3.Object_Name as UserName,
          o2.Object_Name as TaskListName,
          o.object_name as TaskName,
          case t.Task_Type
          when 0 then 'Task List Header'
          when 1 then 'Documentation'
          when 2 then 'Data Entry Form'
          when 3 then 'Business Rule'
          when 4 then 'Workflow'
          end as TaskType,
          T.DUE_DATE as Due_Date,
          ut.Completed_Date as CompletedDate,
          ut.Alert_Sent_Date as AlertSentDate
from          hsp_task t
inner join     hsp_object o on t.TASK_ID=o.OBJECT_ID
inner join     hsp_object o2 on t.TASK_LIST_ID=o2.OBJECT_ID

SP Designer 2010 - Saving custom list form impacts other list and other custom list form

Hi,
I have a source list, with custom display, edit and new forms all of them created in SP Designer 2010. These do nothing fancy, just for presentation purposes, fields were re-arranged in 2 columns.
Then I created a target list by saving the source list as template, the template brought over all customizations, all seemed to work fine. So I started to modify the target custom list forms.
Now here's the problem:
After a while making changes to the target list I realized that somehow the custom list forms on the source list had been modified... so I opened the source list in designer and noticed that the out of the box forms: NewForm.aspx, DispForm.aspx, EditForm.aspx
were now the default forms for the source list, and I couldn't pick my custom list forms to be the default forms for the source list anymore, they were not on the listbox. I could still see them by going in designer to All Files > Lists > SourceList
> and if I previewed them, they were empty.
I believe that somehow source and target list are linked, but why would designer allow making changes to the source list? like resetting the default forms, and breaking up the custom list forms that were in place?
I've verified list id's in the custom list forms of the target list and they belong to the GUID of the target list. I don't see anything else that could potentially point to the source list.
SharePoint Designer 2010 version: 14.0.7007.1000 SP2 14.0.7015.1000 I don't think this matters much because I've tried with other SP Designer 2010 versions and the error is the same.
thanks for your reply!

Hi alec,
When I create a custom EditForm1.aspx and set as default for a source list, then save this list as a template, then the newly created the target list based off this saved template, the source list still uses the custom EditForm1.aspx form as default
form, from SharePoint designer, I can see these two lists have different listID, so they have no connection when I edit any one of them.
Please recreate a new list with custom form page and save as template, then create a new list see if this issue could be reproduced, or we can create a new list instead if it is an isolate issue.
Thanks,

Plant Maintenance - Linkage between Task List and Maintenance Plan

Sir,
In Plant Maintenance, I have an equipment for which there are 9 maintenance activities that have to be performed every year. Out of these 4 activities will be carried out every month. 1 activity will be carried out during the months of February, June and October. 5 activities will be carried out only in the month of December.
I need to create Task List for all these activities and subsequently create Maintenance Plans for all these Task Lists.
Can I group all the 4 activites which will be carried out every month into one single Task List, with separate operation nos and time against each activity?. I don't know whether it is correct or not.
If I use the above method I can create 3 Task Lists for this particular equipment with same Group no and 3 Group Counters.
How to create Maintenance Plan for the above scenario?.
Eventhough, 4 activites are carried out every month and they have been grouped into a single Task List (Group counter 1) and if these activites are carried out on different dates within a month how can I create Maintenance Plan and subsequently create a Maintenance Order?.
I need some help in this regard. A detailed reply will be helpful.
Can anyone throw some light in this regard.
Regards,
R. Vijayakumar

you need to create one task list with a maintenance strategy with packages and hierarchy to outline the work requirements i.e. some tasks to be carried out 3 monthly some 4 monthly etc, and also if common tasks appear in 3 monthly package vs 4 monthly package then to suppress the duplicating task
you would then define a strategy based maintenance plan and run it to get the respective maintenance orders

Indicator on task list and order which shown Document is attached ?

Hi,
I have attached a document in task list through PRT in task list succesfully. Is there a indicator in task list which tells that yes a document is attached to task list ?
Secondly is there a indicator in workorder which tells that yes a document is attached to this partcular task list ?
Regards,
Meghana

Hi
Not sure about header level but in operation one check box is available for PRT.
If PRT is attached to operation check box is automatically selected..
On header screen at bottom you can see PRT check box if it is attached to first operation.

Can't access the web but can screen share and secure shell on my network???

Hi,
I don't know if this is relevant, but I installed a security patch along with a safari patch the other day and the next morning, I could not access the internet, however I can do things like screen share and ssh. I cannot however view internal websites on my network, whether I'm connected via airport or ethernet cable (attached to either time capsule or the modem directly). Whenever I try to go to a website in either firefox or Safari, I get a message saying I'm not connected to the internet and a "Network Diagnostics" button (which says it cannot fix my problem). Here is what I've tried:
-Repair Disk (everything OK)
-Repair Permissions
-Restart computer
-Turn Airport card off then on
-Restart modem and routers, one by one in daisy chain order (and then restarted computer)
-Tried different browsers
-Tried connecting directly to modem via Ethernet cable in addition to wireless
-Restored the System from a time-capsule backup from Sept. 6th (noticed the problem on the 10th)
-Turned off my firewall
-Created a new user account and tried it
-Let my computer remain off for a half hour
-Zapped the p-ram
Here's what I've confirmed I CAN'T do:
-Access the web via either Safari or firefox (haven't tried any other browsers)
-Access the Software Update Server
-My iCal calendars cannot access the webdav server
Surprisingly, here's what I've confirmed I CAN do:
-Ping other computers on my network
-Use the Screen Sharing App. with computers on my network
-Access the internet from every other computer on my network (4 of them)
-ssh to other computers on my network
I've been using my computer infrequently lately, and I'm not sure when the last time was I accessed the internet or for that matter when I performed the security patching, but I'm pretty sure it was within the last week and a half. I really don't want to try restoring from an earlier backup, but I'm reaching the end of my rope. Anyone have any other ideas? I'm fresh out.
Rob

The problem was either the Security Patch 2010-005 or the Safari update (though I don't have the version number in front of me). Note, I had ignored the iTunes 10 update. I assume that I must have miscalculated the date I performed the updates because the problem persisted after restore from a Sept. 6th backup off my time capsule.
I went to the Apple Store and they were able to restore full internet access by performing a 10.5.8 combo-update. When we ran Software Update at the Apple Store, the 3 updates were again there available for download, but I am going to ignore them all because of this issue. The people at the apple store agreed that it was the update which caused the problem.
