HFM 11.1.2 forms/data grids - display of negative numbers

If you want to display negative numbers differently... red color for example or with brackets instead of the negative sign
Is there an easy way to do this?

  • Is there a way to change the security class for all forms/data grids?

    Working on a 11.1.2.3 HFM application with more than 100 + data forms/grids and I need to change all of the class of security forms/grids to [Default].
    Is there an effective way to do this? At the moment I have only 2 ways...

    1 extract all documents and open each form with a text editor to change the class of security, re - download to the workspace

    2. manually change settings of security class in the workspace

    Any ideas?
    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I think that the best approach I've seen so far is to retrieve all documents via LCM (SSP), edit Web Forms with a text editor which can edit multiple files in the same file (Notepad ++) and then reload via LCM webforms.

  • Display of negative numbers as 0

    Box 1: User input

    Box 2: User input

    Box 3: User input

    Box 4: User Input

    Box 5: (zone 1 - zone 2)

    Box 6: (box 3 and box 4)

    Box 7: (box 5 - box of 6)

    If I use the following equation for boxes 5, 6 and 7:

    var v1 = getField("Box_#").valueAsString;

    var v2 = getField("Box_#").valueAsString;

    If (v1 & & v2) {}

    Perform the calculation

    Event.Value = v1 - + v2;

    } else {}

    Event.Value = "";

    }

    * Note for box of 6, the in the calculation is replaced by (+).

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------

    My question: How can I write this code to produce and show '0' if the equation translates into a negative number?

    Your example in the original post would Box5 result as an empty value and not of-5. Box7 also had an empty field.

    So your example:

    var v1 = getField("Box_#").valueAsString;

    var v2 = getField("Box_#").valueAsString;

    If (v1 & v2) {}

    Perform the calculation

    = Event.Value + + v2 v1;

    } else {}

    Event.Value = "";

    }

    Apply only to box 5 and Box7 Box6 not being Box3 Box 4 but Box3 + Box 4.

    Given that you want to display the results for Box5, Box6, regardless of their values, you enjoy the script would not apply.

    You also add the condition to the field being hidden.

    If the script for Box5 would be:

    var v1 = this.getField("Box1").valueAsString;

    var v2 = this.getField("Box2").valueAsString;

    Event.Value = "";

    Si (v1 ! = « » && v2 ! = « ») {}

    Perform the calculation;

    Event.Value = Number (v1) - Number (v2);

    }

    Box6 would be:

    var v1 = this.getField("Box3").valueAsString;

    var v2 = this.getField("Box4").valueAsString;

    Event.Value = "";

    Si (v1 ! = « » && v2 ! = « ») {}

    Perform the calculation;

    Event.Value = Number (v1) + Number (v2);

    }

    And Box7 would be:

    var v1 = this.getField("Box5").valueAsString;

    var v2 = this.getField("Box6").valueAsString;

    Si (v1 ! = « » && v2 ! = « ») {}

    Perform the calculation;

    Event.Value = Number (v1) - Number (v2);

    Event.Value * = (event.value > 0);

    }

  • Hand-made backup of data and forms of data grids

    Hi guys,.

    Is it possible to make a backup of the data grids and forms of data manually (that is, without the use of LCM)? I work with a classic application, and I have files for all of the artifacts that were created (.alternance, .app, .rle, etc.).

    Thank you!

    See you soon!

    Easily through the U / I? Nope.

    Plan a.
    ------
    "Easier" option would be to use the hfmCopyApplication utility. (c:\hyperion\financialmanagement\server\HfmCopyApplication.exe). [NOTE: If you have 9 system, don't forget to download/get the system 11 version]

    The system 11 copy app gives you a healthy dose of flexibility in what you actually copy. For example, using the utility you can "copy" just forms/grids to another application. As with all versions of the utility, the application does not have to be in the same database as the source application. The utility works at the database level; Therefore, you don't need the application registered or same HFM running anywhere. All you need is available for utility data bases.

    If it was me, I create a new database file, use the 'copy' schedules or forms in the source application. Can I use the database connection and place the files in your folder structure for the storage. If you need to restore, all you need to do is Mount the database and use the copy utility to push them to an application.

    The major drawback here is that if you really want to look at forms / railings, you will need to register for this request and enter. A little annoying if you need to refer to the actual "source" forms and grids. If you simply need for a 'just in case' backup, it's probably a decent option.

    Plan B
    -----

    Write a script to extract all in the database tables. Excuse me, but I won't go into detail here because I have another post on this somewhere. Here are the important details.

    Tables of importance:

    _RPTS
    _BINARYFILES

    Navigate records in RPT for each record with the appropriate file type value. (3 = shape, 5 = grid)
    -For each matching record, take the EncodedLabel and get BinaryFiles lines where Label = EncodedLabel.
    -The BINARYFILE field has the text of the grid/form. I think it is in Unicode, but I don't remember off the top of my head.
    (NOTE: there may be several rows for an encodedlabel!) The field has a maximum length and if you have a grid or a big enough form, it will be more important and will require several lines. Remember to add together)

    NOTE: For bonus points, look at the ParentEncodedLabel. If you wrote your script well enough, you can use that is automatically create the folder hierarchy as well for you. It would be better than grids/forms spill in a folder on your computer/network.

    Plan C
    --------

    Review the U / I and click on about ten thousand times... Not recommended. Probably easier to curl up in the fetal position and cry yourself to sleep. :)

    Plan D
    --------
    Use the API to script a solution for this. The disadvantage of going directly through the database is that if they ever change the page layout, you have to adjust your scripts. If you use APIs published, in THEORY, these types of changes are extracted from your share as long as the ENTRY and EXIT of the API do not change, utility no matter what you do will work just as well. Sometimes the change in the API to the point where you have to adjust your program anyway, although...

    It's probably the more correct way to this address, SQL scripting is quite simple and is probably easier knock out.

  • Data grid: in Smart mode

    Hello Experts,

    I created a data grid for one of the HFM application. We have an option to display the grid of data in Smart mode 'Open In Smart View', I think I know by clicking this button, the grid must be open in the smart view.

    It throws the following error when opening using Firefox:

    "The address has not been heard."

    Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (oraclesv) is not associated with any program or is not allowed in this context.

    You may need to install additional software to open this address. »

    If I open the same with internet explore it opens.

    But I'm not able to open the gate by using this option. Whereas if I go to smart see connect to the application, I am able to open the grid of data even in Smart mode.

    We are not able to understand what the individual, the error is all about, is it a complement should be updated I have firefox or some configurations needed to be done to the EMPA. Please help us to unravel it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Problem solved.

    Pls follow this:

    Check that the Smart View Extension for Firefox is indicated as being activated in the browser:

    1. Open Firefox.
    2. Go to the menu 'tools '.
    3. Select 'Addons '.
    4. Select "Extensions."
    5. Find the Smart View Extension for FireFox and make sure that it is activated.
  • The data grid view control

    Iccsi,

    At its core, DW is all just a text editor. All the available controls would be based on the server model you are using. I'm not at all familiar with CF, but I don't think he uses complex types "control". It is a scripting language and DW can generate scripts that can create a grid of output.

  • Sort data grid...

    I worked on a project that returns the numbers of the database I want to display in the data grid. I want that they appear formatted as price. If I make them price with the $ and the. Then, they are considered as strings and will not sort correctly. If I let the numbers I can use digital sorting and they work fine but the terrible look, what is the solution. I can't find it anywhere like for AS 2.0.

  • Inserting data in a data grid is empty

    Hi all

    I want to provide my users where they can enter data with a data grid. I have an expense report form that can have one or more line items.

    I created a simple data grid, set the editable true and each as editable column however, when I run the application is not a way to add data to the datagrid. Can someone tell me what I'm missing here?

    I was hoping to use the datagrid control as entry point of data instead of creating a button Add with a popup to add data and then insert it in the datagrid control.

    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    It is wicked easy...

    Just add this line of code to the function that adds the new item:

    dataGridExpenseLineItems.editedItemPosition = {columnIndex: 0, rowIndex: _expenseReportDetail.lineItems.length - 1};

    This will display the first item in the last row of the DataGrid in edit mode.

    You cannot use the server host-side or liquid code on BC for this.

    You need to be to have some sort of configuration to point to a 3rd party solution that sends data on them or you need to implement and solution from API to API.
    A form will create a deal (or order if take payment) and you can have the BC API sends a url to the notification when cases are triggered. With your own code solution read you cases, get those to the shape you want and send the information to the 3rd part of the data structure they need.

  • Add 44 days to the current date and display DD mmmm yyyy

    I created a form in Acrobat Pro ms and I need a form field to display the date 44 days from the day that the form is completed.  Searched these forums and responses found that are close but they all seem to calculate the base on another field in the document.  I do not have the date of the day on the form and I'm "challenged" javascript, so cannot get out.

    For example, when the user opens the form today (October 13, 2015) the field must display on 26 November 2015.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Another approach would be to use JavaScript getDate() and methods setDate() for the date object.

    Get the current date object.

    var oNow = new Date();

    object of the new date

    oNew var = new Date();

    get the current date of the date object.

    var nNowDate = oNow.getDate ();

    Add 44 days at the time of the day;

    var nNewDate = nNowDate + 44;

    new date of update object;

    oNew.setDate (nNewDate);

    format of the new text string to date object.

    var cNewDate = util.printd ("dd mmmm yyyy", oNew);

    value of the field of play;

    Event.Value = cNewDate;

    show some information;

    Console.Show ();

    Console.clear();

    Console.println ("today is:" + util.printd ("dd mmmm yyyy", oNew));

    Console.println ("today's date is:" + oNow.getDate ());

    Console.println ("current date = 44 days:" + nNewDate);

    Console.println ("44 days now is:" + cNewDate);

    The script could be made more compact by combining several lines of code in one line of code:

    Get the current date object.

    var oNow = new Date();

    Add 44 days at the time of the day;

    oNow.setDate (oNow.getDate () + 44);

    value of the field of play;

    Event.Value = util.printd ("dd mmmm yyyy", oNow);

  • When I complete and sign a form and then print it out, the form data does not print.

    When I complete and sign a form and then print it out, the form data does not print. The form fields are empty with the exception of any signature.

    Thank you. Depending on your answer, I have compiled a procedure:

    Fill & sign a form in Adobe CD and print the form fields:

    (1) open the document.

    (2) click on tools - prepare the form. All fields are displayed in a vertical list in the bottom right of the screen.

    3) click on the first field in the list, scroll to the bottom of the list and shift-click to select all.

    4) click on the first field in the document, make a right click, select Properties.

    (5) on the general tab, uncheck the box locked in the lower left corner. Under field properties common form, select Visible and uncheck the read-only box, close.

    (6) print out and save the file.

    Note: even if you select all the fields in the document in step 3, this procedure may work for the fields on page 1. In this case, repeat steps 3 through 5 for each subsequent page.
