Webform Page dropdown box search functionality

All,
     We are on Planning 11.1.2.2.303.
Since we have a page dimension with over 1000 members (and the member names are a name followed by 19 numbers in length), the business owner really likes the "Like" search of the page dropdown in the webform. (He can type a string of any characters and it will narrow the the members displayed to those members with that string anywhere in the membername)
He really wants to use the forms that I have created for him in Smartview, problem is that the dropdown search functionality doesn't work the same. In Smartview it will follow you when you type the membername from the beginning, but it only highlights what you are typing if it matches a membername (and only the first one that matches), and it doesn't narrow the list of members in the dropdown box.
Does anyone know of a setting (in planning or windows) that will enable a "Like" search in the dropdown boxes in smartview?
TIA,
Robert

I think that would be an enhancement, maybe check the Smart View forum.

  • RH9 Webhelp Search function is not working properly

    Hi,
    My organization is using RH9 for a Webhelp project.  My company and our client are restricted to using IE9 for the online help I have created for this project, and our OS environment is Windows 7.  When I generate using the Webhelp layout, with the TOC, Index and Search options chosen, my resulting browser window shows two frames.  Left for the Contents/Index/Search and right for the content.  In the left panel, there are three links at the top for Contents, Index and Search.  When I click on the Search link, the only thing I see is the alphabet A-Z (which are links to filter items beginning with these letters (much like the index link) and a list of what I would say is garbage.  For example, if I click on H, I see items like "half 1 2 3" or "held" or "honor # 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8", etc.  If I run my cursor down this list, I notice that maybe the word honor is a link.  If clicked it brings up one of my topic pages.  I can also click on the random numbers that appear, like clicking on 3 it brings up another topic page.  The search function does not allow me to type in a search criteria, since there is no search field as well.
    Do you have any suggestions for this issue?  Is this a bug, or do I need to change settings somewhere within RH9?  The same thing is happening when using this help project that is running on our clients server.  Is there any suggestion you can give to try and make this work properly?

    Rick,  Thanks for stepping in.    I assumed that was the reason why I was not receiving the search field, and that is fine for now.  We have discussed with our client the possibility of having two different help projects one for each, but that decision was kind of put on the back burner.
    However, the other issue I am having is still there and I don't quite understand why.  Since I only have clickable A-Zs for the search, and it lists links much like the Index section, I'm still seeing lists of just numbers and characters (i.e., "# 1 2 3 4 5", or "%" or "& 1 2 3 4 5" sometimes all the way up to 18 or so).  And each of these characters or numbers are clickable links as well to either page that doesn't contain that number or to nothing.
    Doing a bit more research, I have noticed that a lot of these links are being picked up by the PDF file we have as part of the project.  Our help project has a link to the documented version of the help in the form of a User Guide.pdf file.  So the search is listing items from that guide like the heading numbers 1.0, 1.0.1, etc.  Also each of these are clickable links that go nowhere.  But then there is still the numbers 1, 2, etc that go to pages that don't have this anywhere on the page.
    Do you have any insight as to why these types of things are being listed under Search at all?  They make that selection look very messy and unorganized.  Not professional at all.  I have checked and tested the properties settings and can't seem to find what is causing this to happen.  Any idea would be most appreciated!!

  • NOT MACBOOK - I don't see the search function on this discussion page...

    tried to use the one on the main/top menu... not it... is it just me? where did the search box go???

    The search function has been temporarily turned off. This has been done in order to improve performance after a huge number of people started posting in the iPhone forums. There is an announcement on the main page that goes here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/ann.jspa?annID=382
    In the future, if you have questions about the functionality of the Discussions themselves, you should check or post in the Feedback About Discussions forum.

  • The "Search" function box doesn't find things that are there! Why?!

    The "Search" function box doesn't find things that are there! Why? Eg: It doesnt show all my Sent and Received emails, but it will find an email that I half wrote and deleted. Unsure why or how to explain more fully.
    I also don't understand if I type in "James email" or "J" into the search box and all the J / James stuff appears but it doesn't show the emails I know have been sent and I know are somewhere because I rang "James" up to check, but the search box shows random thing I am NOT looking for, even if I type in fully what I am looking for and test it by typing in full titles of things.
    It also doesn't store all my sent emails in "Sent" box. Confused! I'm not sure if the "Search" box just isn't up to the job or if it is broken / i'm doing something wrong? Maybe the email address I use isn't set up properly?

    This can happen sometimes if the cache is not cleared correctly when items are not deleted from your device.
    The only solution to this is to do a restore to clean out the cache file.

  • How to hide the dropdown box in my search screen

    hi,
    I am new to jsf. Here , i am posting the question first time.
    I am developing a search screen. I want to hide one dropdown box in that. can anybody help me on that?
    This is the code :
    <h:panelGrid rendered="true" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="10" columns="2" styleClass="tabletext" style="vertical-align: top">
    <h:panelGrid rendered="true" border="0" columns="1" style="vertical-align: top;">
         <h:outputLabel rendered="true" value="Ranger District:"> </h:outputLabel>
         <h:panelGroup id="regionDropdown">
                                  <h:selectOneMenu rendered="true" id="rangerDistrict" value="#{energySearchBean.district}">                    
                                  <f:selectItems value="#{energySearchBean.districts}"/>
                   </h:selectOneMenu>     
                   </h:panelGroup>
              </h:panelGrid>
    </h:panelGrid>
    Thanks in advance.

    If you want to hide it at the server side, use the 'rendered' attribue and let its value evaluate to 'false'. If you want to hide it at the client side, use the CSS 'display' property and set it to 'none'.
    By the way, having 'rendered="true"' hardcoded in all components is superfluous. It is just the default value.

  • Dropdown box not showing up for field w/attached search help

    Hi.  I've created a search help for a data element and I know that the search help is working on the selection screen. 
    The search help values come up if I hit F4 but when I click into the field on the selection screen no drop-down box appears to the right of it (so the users don't know that a search help is even available).
    Has anyone seen this before?

    Hi Rich,
    I tried closing all sessions and re-logging in.  That did not work.
    I also tried regenerating the program.  That did not work.  Very odd.
    F4 works on the field, just no dropdown box! 
    We're running 640.

  • The search function of List pages

    I have a question about the search function of List pages.
    If field is chosen, "Equal to" and "Begins with" will be displayed automatically.
    But I want to be displayed "Contains at least one value".
    Is there any method of specifying this value as "Contains at least one value"?

    Hi,
    unfortunately this customization is not possible. You can open a Service Request and submit the Enhancement Request for desired functionality.

  • How do I remove a name from the iPhone search function (extreme left page of apps)?, How do I remove a name from the iPhone search function (extreme left page of apps)?

    Even after deleting emails and sms messages, a whole lot still show up on the search page. Ideas?

    You are correct, the Search Function is very powerful. It even retrieves deleted information. If you really want to delete it, only way I know would be to Restore. But if you Restore from Back-Up, some of those unwantd messages and information may crop up again. You may have to Restotre and Set Up as New iPhone.

  • How to auto create Report Search functions and Breadcrumb Menu on new pages

    Hi
    First off I want to say I have just started using Html DB, and think its a great product! I have been using it for a few months now to create an application, and find it flexible, powerful, but still fairly simple to use.
    When I create a new Application using "Based on Existing Tables", the pages that get created have some very nice Report Search functions and Breadcrumb Menu features generated automatically.
    I want to do the same when I add pages to an existing application. That is, I want new pages to automatically include those Report Search functions and Breadcrumb Menu features.
    I have tried various combinations of the existing wizards, but I have not been able to find any that generate all those features automatically. I know I can create pages using the page wizard, and then manually add the Report Search and Breadcrumb Menu. But that is very tedious. Nor can I find a better answer in the forum
    Any suggestions or ideas?
    Thanks
    Richard

    Can you show the scripts and reports screenshort, so we can have a clerarl idea.

  • Search Function on web page

    My company has a website in which we have our product catalog in pdf form, which has approximately 1000 pages.
    I created the site using GOLIVE CS2.
    Our vendors want to be able to search that pdf for their specific products only. So that if they type in lets say a number that is assigned to them as a prefix to their product number, then a list of some kind would be generated and clicking on the list would then take them to that page in the catalog.
    What is the quickest and easiest way to do this?

    PDF is a clumsy way to publish searchable content online. Ideally, you'd have your catalog products in a database.
    A site visitor could still use the search function of the Adobe Reader plugin to find content in the PDF file.
    You could also generate a database table where you index the content of each page in one column, and note the page number in another. Then offer a search script on your site that searches the first column and returns the page number value of the second column. You can access pages in a PDF file directly...

  • Bookmarks dropdown box remains after running search through URL/Search bar

    Has anyone else noticed that when you're in full screen mode in Yosemite Safari and you enter a search query into the URL/search bar, the dropdown bookmark/favourites do not disappear once you execute the search. So you have to then click elsewhere to make the dropdown box disappear otherwise you can get to the search results underneath the dropdown box.

    These have nothing to do with Firefox.
    C:\ProgramData\FLEXnet\Connect
    \11\ISUSPM.exe
    and
    C:\Users\Vinegarhill-User Acc\Desktop\Malware Removal Programs\eXplorer.exe
    This one - C:\Users\Vinegarhill-User Acc\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ak4dv58c.default\extensions\ \components\afom.exe - is probably the '''AFOM - Memory Recovery & Retention For Firefox Only''' extension.
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/11922/
    My advice is to uninstall that extension. IMO, you have too many extensions installed, and are asking for problems with Firefox. I am not against using a lot of extensions in Firefox ''(I typically have 45 to 50 extensions installed, but the mix of extensions you have scares me as potentially problematic.)''

  • More than 2 dropdown boxes in the UI Configuration/SRM-MDM Catalogue Search

    Hi! We know that there is a limit to the number of drop-down boxes we can define in SRM-MDM UI configuration. However, we really have a need for that as there is no variant configuration in SRM-MDM. In this case, we want to allow user to select the colour (dropdown box) followed by size (dropdown box) in order to get the right items (e.g. shirt) to appear. Because we also need to have another field to be drop-down, we cannot do so due to the limitation.
    Has anyone found a solution around this?
    Cheers!

  • PDF files are very faint and the search function doesn't highlight the search term when found

    I'm using Firefox 5 with Windows 7 64 bit. When I open a PDF file the file is very faint and the search function doesn't highlight the search term in the body of the PDF.

    Dear Peter,
    I met the following problem, and please help me.
    My English (not Chinese) operating system: Windows XP
    Version: 2002
    Before using RoboHelp 7 to generate Webhelp, I perform the
    following steps:
    1. Control Panel->Regional Options
    2. On the "Languages" page make sure make sure you check the
    box "Install files for East Asian languages".
    3. On the "Advanced" page select "Chinese" from the language
    dropdown list.
    Then I perform the following steps:
    1. Use RoboHelp 7 to generate Webhelp (my Webhelp project
    contains localized Chinese files).
    2. In the "Search" tab, input a Chinese character(For example
    "连接") and perform a seach.
    Result: Serching...(or 正在搜索) or
    No topics found (or
    未找到主题)。
    Expected result: I can get the result.
