XML Forms: save form in "Show Form" Mode

Hi All,
Is there a way to have 2 edit screens in XML Forms?
My scenario:
1) user creates form
2) admin reads form and changes the property "status" to "form read" (a field that the user does not see) and saves.
Is this possible?
I can add the controls for the "status" input and save button.
But when in Display mode I click on the save button and it errors.
Cheers,
Vic

In the URL Generator Service, XML forms CSS file path changed. I've reset the XML forms CSS file path to /irj/go/km//etc/xmlforms.
This resolved our issue.

Infopath Form Web Part not showing form

Hello,
I recently edited a list form in a InfoPath 2010 and published it to my site. When clicking on "Add new item" it works fine. The new form shows up and all is well. The idea though was to enable the form from a separate page by using
the InfoPath Form Web Part. We have other forms setup this way on our site that work fine, but for some reason, when I added the web part to the page, pointed it at the list and set the custom content types (only single option anyways as the list is
built on a custom content type) nothing is displayed within the web part.
I can't find any difference between my form and the already created forms, but as I didn't create the ones that are working I may have missed some setting. There is no error, no message, just a blank web part... Actually, that's not true. When I
check in the page I see nothing. But when I publish it, I see only a close link and a bit of a header div.
If anyone would happen to have seen this before, know what it is or know how to fix it I would be greatly appreciative.
Thank you.

Hi David,
From your description, you published an InfoPath form to SharePoint list, and it worked well in the list. However, when you added an InfoPath form web part to another page, it displayed as image.
I could not reproduce the issue, I just selected list and content type, left all other settings as default, it displayed as expected. Did I miss anything during reproducing your issue? Did you make any customization to web part or InfoPath form?

Filter Predefined Properies, Feedback Search, XML Forms Show form issues

Hi all,
I have created XML forms with XML builder and I have some questions.
1. When filtering by predefined properties I want to filter by two properties, which are the same. For example, if there is a publication with two authors and author is the predefined property, in the first field I write the name of the first author, in the second field I write the name of the second author, the result is all publications, which are by both authors and all publication, which are either by the one, or by the other.
I don't have this problem when I filter by two different predefined properties. For example the author and the year. Than the result is all publication, which are by the author AND published in the requested year.
How can I set this option to be able to filter by two same predefined properties and the relation between both properties to be AND?(only publications by both author)
2. In the Show form I have created link to the feedback, using XML Forms BUilder, but I need to write first the feedback to be able to see already existing feedbacks,
if there are any. In the ResourceRendering Form I have created link to the feedback by LayoutSet, where I can see first, if there are already existed feedbacks.
If there is any possibility to set a LayoutSet for the Show Form or any other way in the Show form to display first the existing feedbacks and than to be able to write a new.
And something else reffering to the Show form, is it possible to rate the item from Show form or at least to have link to the rating, not a link to the Details.
I have tried to create a link to the /Properties/col:rating, but it doesn't work. The link dispays the value, if it has been already rated.
3. Is it possible to search for any information in the feedbacks(to make the feedback searchable)?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best regards,
Zlatina

Hi Zlatin,
-> 1
By Default identic properties queries are connected by an 'OR'.
Please have a look into the documentation for further info.

-> Search Options
So far it's not possible to connect two identic proerties by an 'AND' within the standard.
You can preset a search filter via the relevant Search Option Set.

In XML Show Form display Creator FirstName and LastName ?

Hi all,
In XML Form Builder i want to display the creator FirstName and LastName ( Diamond Admin) in the Show Form.
For egs:
Logon ID: diamond_admin
Last Name: Admin
First Name: Diamond
In the EDIT Form By using $sap_user and also createdBy property i'm getting the creator name as diamond_admin but i want to display the FirstName and LastName (Diamond Admin).
2)In the EDIT Form i used the Label for Time Based Publishing(TBP)
Opening Date = TimeStamp control
Closing Date = TimeStamp control
In the RenderList Form i'm showing the Closing Date label its display the date and time.
Closing Date= 05/12/08 08:00:00 PM
But i requirement is to show the closing date only not time(Closing Date= 05/12/08) in the RenderListItem Form..
How to do this?Please help me...
Regards
Thillai J

When you are editing the Show Form, select the correct label in the form and in the property list area (bottom right) you have a property named "Display As". Select "Display Name" for the value.
Make sure that in your Data Model your property has the data type "user"
The "Display As" parameter should also work for your date problem as you can select "Short" to only display the date.

XML Form Builder Show Form

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement in XML Forms, When I click a particular news item in Renderlist Form, I need to display the Show Form in the same window without opening a new window. If it is possible, please guide me, How do I do that? And also, can I specify the size of the Show Form?
Regards,
Venkatesh. K

Hi Venkatesh.
To realsize your ideas you have to build your own XSL or to customize the SAP generated XSL files. We build own XSL files.
1) It is possible to present the Show Form in the same window.
Go to the JAVA SCRIPT SECTION. It is mostly at page bottom. The function open_url_with_params(url,params) is used to open the Show form. In this function window.open(url,'_blank',params) is called. Replace _blank to desired value, e.g. _self.
2) If the Show Form opens in a new window it is possible to specify the size and position of this window.
To realize this go to the link references Show form (open_url_with_params). The function is called with the url and some parameters, e.g. toolbar=no, ... . Add the params width, height, top and left here.

René

Process flow between edit ,renderlistitem and show form in XML form builder

Hi all ,
i'm building from in xml from builder . i'm confused with the process between edit ,renderlist item and show froms .can any one please explain me the Process flow between those
thanks,
rajeev.

Hi Rajeev!
There is no process flow between those forms. They are seperate views of the same document, nothing more.
The Edit form is always used if you create or edit a xml document based on the form.
The renderlist item form is used if more than one XML document is shown, for example in a list.
The show form ist used if the document should be displayed in full, eg by clicking on an XML document in a list.
It is even possible to add more custom forms and display them. If you "preview" an XML document, you get the choice to display the document with all display forms available (default Renderlist item and Show). If you watch the URL when previewing a xml document you'll see an URL parameter selecting the form to show.
Regards,
Jürgen

How to use adifferent Show form to display a document created by XML forms

Hi,
I have created some XML documents using an XML form.
The XML form contains two Show forms, Show & Show2. The default is Show. When I view the XML document via a KM Docs iView the default Show form is used to display the resource.
If I wish to display the XML document using a KM Docs iView, but using the Show2 (non-default) form how is this done?
I have created Layout Sets for each of the different ways to display the XML forms, but there is no option to choose Layout Set in the KM Docs iView config.
Thanks,
Tom

Alternative SHOW form for XML's

Hi techies,
I have made a XML news form with two SHOW forms. I need to show one group of users the first one the other group the other one. Has anyone a idea? I have been searching on SDN and could only find this procedure
1) Create a news form in the XML Forms Builder with multiple shows
2) In CM Configuration create a new XMLFormsResourceRenderer for the second show and enter the name of the new form
3) In CM Configuration create a new Layout Set using the XMLFormsResourceRenderer
4) Create an iView using the Layout Set
So the idea is to make a layoutset to SHOW and a layoutset2 to SHOW2
in thread https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?threadID=7591
Its clear to me but has anyone made such a resourcerenderer before? Can anyone give me some extra help on this specific case? Or are there better sollutions. I'm not a java developer yet.
Thanks in advance, I rewards points to usefull answers.
Frederik Defour

Hello,
Yes indeed, I also had the idea to create multiple iviews and assign these to the appropriate users. But instead of having a different list form, I would also like to have a different SHOW forms. The idea is that user group 1 has all xml fields, while usergroup 2 only is able to see a limited subset of these fields. (news for internal users and news for website). I think that I will need to make different list forms as well. Because the list of type1 goes to the show type 1. And the list of type 2 should go to the show type 2.
But if you can provide some extra technical details, please do.
Thanks already,
Frederik

Hi, Tardin!

How to Save State on an Entry Form prior to Submitting the Form?

I want to be able to save the values the user enters to fields on the entry form if they navigate away from the page and come back (without the user clicking the submit button for the form.) For example, one of the input fields has a goLink to go to another page to lookup a field value - when the user returns from the page, all other form field values are cleared. If the user does submit the form by clicking the command button, then all form field values are saved (if the user navigates from the page and comes back, all values are retained.) What I'm trying to do then is somehow save the values (passivate the state) for the field the user has filled in when the user navigates from the page without submitting the form. Any suggestions?
I am using a read-only View Object with all transient values. The VO is configured to passivate state including all transient values. The initial row is created programmatically; there will only be one row for the VO used as an entry form. I am not using a backing bean for the values and would prefer not to use one, but would rather use the VO's capability to passivate state to save the data values. The question then seems to be how to force the VO to passivate state prior to the form being submitted.
thanks

"My hunch is that the real problem is that the fields are not being set into the bindings due to the use of immediate="true"."
Yes. Now I see that is the real problem. Is there anyway to force setting the bindings from the input form field values if the user navigates from the page using a goLink, or commandButton with immediate="true" other than overriding the default FacesPageLifecycle classes?
I'd prefer not to have to do that unless necessary, and, if I over-ride that method, then how could I get it to work normally when the user presses the commandButton at the end of the form and I do want all validation checks to be performed (immediate=false for the form's submit button; immediate=true only for lookup commandButtons used for certain fields)?
Here's an overview of how I set the page up:
1. create transient view object; all attributes marked as always updateable; passivate state=true for VO and all transient values; no key id field selected (will only ever be one row - just using VO to save values that will eventually be used to do an insert to the database);
2. transient VO added to Application Module
3. Add data control to .jspx page as an ADF Form (not an ADF Creation Form)
4. Add code to AM to create the initial row for the input form
protected void prepareSession(Session session) {
super.prepareSession(session);
insertTransientViewObjRows();
private void insertTransientViewObjRows() {
ViewObject transientvo = getViewObj1();
transientvo.clearCache();
transientvo.insertRow(transientvo.createRow());
--- Entry Form .jspx pagedef.xml snippet ---
<executables>
<iterator id="MyIterator" RangeSize="10" Binds="MyView"
DataControl="AMDataControl"/>
</executables>
<bindings>
<attributeValues id="sponsorid" IterBinding="MyIterator">
<AttrNames>
<Item Value="sponsorid"/>
</AttrNames>
</attributeValues>
--- Entry Form .jspx page snippet ---
<h:form>
<af:panelForm>
<af:panelLabelAndMessage label="#{bindings.sponsorid.label}">
<af:panelGroup layout="horizontal">
<af:inputText value="#{bindings.sponsorid.inputValue}"/>
// state will not be saved for other form field values if use immediate="true" when temporarily navigate away from page and return; don't want to validate other form fields here
<af:commandButton text="Lookup Details"
action="lookup-page" immediate="true"/>
</af:panelGroup>
</af:panelLabelAndMessage>....
// state will be saved with immediate="false" when user submit forms at end of entry (need to perform validation of form's required fields here)
<af:commandButton text="Continue to Next Step" immediate="false"
action="nextpage"/>
