Workflow Ideas for Certificates?

I'm sure this would be really easy to find if I knew what it was called.
We have a local competition, and I have to make certificates for all the winners in all the categories. I have 88 categories, 3 winners in each category, and a handful of ties. Thankfully there are only two variations for certificates, First Place and Top Ten. Unfortunately, there's no excel document.
I have a template from last year with a master page for each type of certificate, which I copy-pasted every (EVERY) category title and winner into and saved out as seperate PDFs. If I have to do that again, I think I'll cry.
What I'd like to do is create two types of box in each master page and automatically flow a list of categories into one and winners into another automatically creating new pages as they're needed. Like flowing all the text from a book into InDesign and having it make new pages as needed. I can't imagine this isn't possible. What's it called when you flow overset text into a new box on a new page? This is the problem with being self-taught. -.-;
Thanks in advance! -Talaya

Better off doing this with data merge
You will need an excel sheet - but once you have that it's a cinch

Can you help me with Page Layout and/or Design ideas for a software manual?

Greetings,
I am a new InDesign user, and am converting a software manual that I created in MS Word into InDesign. It will be converted to a pdf to view online. I have the basics (3 master pages, page numbers, running headers, 2column pages with text boxes on the left and screenshots on the right), but I want to make it look prettier. Could you please give me some ideas on page layout and/or design to make it look better or more creative?
A few things that I am considering: borders around screenshots, a watermark, a logo next to the page numbers, different size/type of fonts, etc.
I am open to any suggestions to make this look better. However, please understand that I am new to InDesign. With that being said, please tell me a few steps when you mention your tips. Thank you!

Take a look at a few websites on Cannons of Page Construction.
I think the best idea for you is to look at a few software manuals and take tips from how they accomplished the layouts.
I'm not saying to copy them - but rather see what works and doesn't work, what worked for them might not necessarily work for you - research some layouts.
Fonts/type/sizes etc. are pretty much ambigious without context - is this a software manual for kids (soft cuddly big fonts easy to read), technical (small, tight spacing etc), Adult friendly (smooth, crisp clear, well spaced), elderly (large elegant fonts).
It all really depends on your demographic audience.
Being new to InDesign I suggest you take up Sandy Cohens Quickstart Visual Guide.
I think you should look at Michael Murphys Book on Styles
And you should definitely get your printer (the guys bulk printing) the booklet for you on board from the start to work out optimal sizes to suit their printing presses and workflow etc. And to ensure that you are setup correctly in page sizes, margins, safe type areas, colour profiles and a few other things that your printers prepress can help you with.

Workflow manager .. certificate generation key or cert

Hello. Thanks for the time. I was wondering if I can get some enlightment on the SP 2013 workflow manager configuration. In the technet video series one of the steps is to create a certificate and use that... but in most install docs
I've found the step is skipped and set to choose an auto generate a cert with a key... like the farm passphrase. My question is really in regards to what is the difference and can we have that set for in production? or is the auto-generate only for dev
and testing?

Hi,
Quote:
Under some circumstances, you must obtain and install Workflow Manager "issuer" certificates on SharePoint Server 2013. Here are the circumstances where you must install Workflow Manager certificates:
If SSL is enabled either on SharePoint Server 2013 (which is not the default) or on Workflow Manager (which is the default), AND
If SharePoint Server 2013 and Workflow Manager do not share a Certificate Authority, AND
If Workflow Manager is configured to generate self-signed certificates (which is the default).

Here is an article about certificates in workflow manager for reference:

To compile a Lightroom 4 beginners workflow guide for tone

An absolute beginner of Lightroom (like myself) will find all the sliders in the Basic Panel hard to understand and overwhelming as they are powerful tools. The purpose of this thread is to design a workflow list that a beginner can easily follow and understand when using the Basic Panel and its tone controls.
What we don’t want here is advanced explanations and techniques, just the very basics for the absolute beginner to understand and follow.
As an absolute beginner I thought I’d start of this thread with my own workflow list for the basic panel tone controls, and just to let people comment on why parts of it are right, and why parts may be wrong, and how it can be perfected. The idea in the end is to compile a perfect workflow list for a beginner to follow, with brief (not advanced) explanations of each step.
Please note that Adobe highly recommends starting at the top slider and working down the panel.
So here goes, here’s the first list (remember to follow the list in its order):
The histogram is a graph, a graphical representation of all the different tones in your image (from the darkest through to the whitest) and is displayed at the top right of the develop module. Along its bottom edge it displays the amount of tones that are in your image, with the darkest displayed on the left and the brightest tones displayed on the right. Going up the graph is the numerical level of each of those tones in your image. Ideally in any image the graph should have tones that are both near to black and near to white thus giving a full dynamic range. The basic panel tone sliders affect those tones.
Exposure (adjusts all the tones, and depending on which way you slide will make them all either brighter or darker – It is fairly linear, i.e. increasing or decreasing all tones by the same amount, but effecting the mid tones the most. It will stop short of pushing tones too near to absolute black or white and thus will cause bunching (compression) of tones in those areas if overly applied, so don’t over use it).
Contrast (Contrast between the blacker and whiter tones will be changed once you use the exposure slider, especially as the midtones are the most effected. The contrast slider is used to correct this. Increasing it pushes the darker tones nearer to black, and the whiter tones nearer to white thus increasing contrast. If you’re familiar with a curves tool, then imagine on the curves graph (not the histogram’s) an s-curve drawn around the midpoint of the tones. Tones below the midpoint are darkened, and above it are brightened).
Highlights (if after using the exposure and contrast slider you have white clipping (tones or colours that have been increased so much that they have reached white instead and can go no further) then you can recover them by decreasing the highlights slider. You can obviously use this slider to increase highlights too if you come across an image that you feel needs it, but it is used mostly as a recovery tool. Clicking the 2 triangles on each side of the histogram can turn on the clipping display, showing you when any tones become clipped).
Shadows (Used if you need to fill some of the darker tones with a bit more light, or even to decrease them depending on which way you slide).
Whites (Used to drag all the tones nearer to white, with the greatest movement affecting the brighter tones, and the least effect on the darkest tones. Increasing can help you utilise more of the possible tonal (dynamic) range).
Blacks (Used to draw the darkest tones nearer to black, effecting the blackest the most and the brightest the least).
What do you think?

Pbeck1 wrote: With the underexposed images I think I now just adjust the exposure until the mid tones look like they are bright enough (then use the other sliders to control the darkest or lightest tones, i.e stretch out the ends).
That actually sounds pretty darn good to me.
Pbeck1 wrote: I only ever use the exposure slider to increase exposure, and this always seems to mean having to only increase contrast too, and never decreasing it.
Most cameras nowadays have built-in intelligent contrast reduction. But if you shoot raw (without Active D-Lighting enabled...), you may find reducing contrast can make the difference between a photo which can only have silouetted darks/black, vs. one that can have open shadows and un-compressed highlights, without resorting to such extreme values for -highlights and +shadows that the photo looks unnatural.
Also, consider replacing some of that +exposure +contrast with +whites -blacks: sometimes a worthwhile trade-off...
Sounds like you are doing pretty darn good to be such a beginner - it took me a long time to get the hang of PV2012.

BPM is a revolutionary idea for SAP Customers !

I strongly feel Business Process Management (in its true sense) is a path-breaking, revolutionary idea for SAP customers in case they can appreciate and capitalize on this. This will change the face of IT in SAP environments forever !

Earlier SAP was not offering BPMS (Business Process Management System) but now with ARIS Modeler, XI, SolMan, Workflow and related tools, BPMS is a tangible reality. Its possible to achieve the vision of Process Managed Enterprise for SAP customers now !

Replying to myself. Kept trying different areas of the ipod this evening, clicking various buttons, including some I'd never used before. All of a sudden I could see my Nano in iTunes. I quickly clicked on Restore before iTunes changed its mind about recognizing the iPod. Moved some songs onto it and it appears to be back to normal. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

Some calendars in iCal appear corrupted but OK on iPhone. If I sync will the calendar data on the phone restore info on the desktop iCal? any other ideas for how to sort this please?

Some calendars in iCal appear corrupted (ie have red exclamation mark by them) but are still OK on iPhone. If I sync, will the calendar data on the phone restore info on the desktop iCal or will I lose that as well? Or could I back up the calendars on my iPhone somewhere and then import them into iCal? any other ideas for how to sort this please? it's driving me mad. thanks.

I don't think there will be a solution to this. Exchange 2003 just isn't supported.

Ideas For A Text-Based Game

I tried working on Graphics a while ago, but I didn't have too much luck with that ;)
Just wondering if anyone here has any ideas about a 'fun' text-based game, that wouldn't be really based on RPG style stuff, because I don't really want to bother with having characters save and stuff(I kno how to though...)
Something like Rock/Paper/Siscors(spelling? lol), but kinda more adicting...oh right, forgot to tell you...idea for a MULTIPLAYER text-based game ;)
Thanks
-Been trying to think of a good idea all day, no luck ;)

Think of an existing exciting game, and make a clone. Thinking of new games is hard.
Scissors.

Ideas for a beginner to program

I've started mentoring a young student - teaching him LabVIEW. He
is enjoying it and we have covered the basics. Now I need to come up
with a project for him to start writing a program(s) on his own. For
the time being, I would like to keep it to calculations/analysis/display
kinds of things (no Daq hardware). I was wondering if anyone had ideas
(or previous experience) of such kinds of programs - something
relatively easy at this point, but useful/fun enough to keep him interested.
Thanks,
Dave

There are 10 kinds of people: those who understand binary, and those who don't.

Here is an idea for a nice little project would be:
(assuming no Daq or GPIB hardware).
Open a binary file. Parse the file to identify the OP codes and operands. Translate it to "english". Display the translation and write it to another file.
You can expand to opening a serial port, communicating to a serial device. Interpret the data (especially if there is some sort of waveform to analyze). Plot the data "real-time". Display warnings or conditions if low or high limits are reached, or if a number of samples has been achieved.
Prompt for user intervention (what to do with the data, ie: save it to file, display it, print it, etc). Allow for user control of the vi (Run / Pause / Stop / Abort).
The above should provide basic functionality where ther
e is no instrument to control or a data-acquisition system to monitor.
Are you looking for real projects? Maybe a bit more challenging?
