Limiting drop-down options based on lookup table - google-app-maker

I have three tables (simplified for this question):
Teams: [team_id, team_name]
Users: [user_id, user_name]
Teams_x_Users: [id, team_id_fk, user_id_fk]
(Screenshot below) On an Update User Form, I placed a table with the selected user's assigned teams for viewing/deleting. Below that, I have a "Teams" drop-down for assigning teams from the Teams table to the user.
In its current state, the drop-down contains all available Teams (projected values).
I want the drop-down to contain available Teams NOT currently assigned to the user.
I took a shot in the dark and tried setting up a new Team_Unselected Datasource with the query expression Teams_x_Users.Users.user_id != :userid, but receive the following error:
Cannot complete binding from query.parameters.userid to #datasources.Teams_x_Users.item.Users.user_id. Unexpected error on binding initial sync write : (TypeError) : Cannot read property 'wb' of null in Teams_Unselected (Teams)

How to get the selected Lookup value from a custom Lookup from ax2012

Dears,
I'm using Microsoft Dynamics AX2012 R3
The Case: I want to make a custom lookup in Inventory Management ==> Journals ==> Item Transactions ==> Movement ==> Lines
I want to relate the Item Id to show all lines in the SalesLines Table in order to get the ItemId and It's dimensions (Config/Size/Color/Style) and when I select it I want to move the selection to the movement line.
My Solution:
Step1: I've made a custom view (viewCustomItemId) that shows all SalesLines tables and related to InventDim to show the dimensions.
Step2: I've made a custom form (frmCustomItemId) and added the view (viewCustomItemId) as a datasource and added all fields to a grid
Step3: In the form (InventJournalMovement) I've overrided the lookup method and added below code
Args args = new Args();
viewCustomItemId _viewCustomItemId;
args.name(formstr(frmCustomItemId));
args.caller(element);
newPopup = classFactory.formRunClass(args);
this.performFormLookup(newPopup);
newPopup.init();
newPopup.wait();
if (newPopup.closedOk())
{
_viewCustomItemId = newPopup.docCursor();
InventJournalTrans.ItemId = _viewCustomItemId.ItemId;
InventDim.configId = _viewCustomItemId.configId;
InventDim.InventSizeId = _viewCustomItemId.InventSizeId;
InventDim.InventColorId = _viewCustomItemId.InventColorId;
InventDim.InventStyleId = _viewCustomItemId.InventStyleId;
InventJournalTrans_DS.research();
}
Problem: When the lookup form is closed all fields are set to the movement line but I get warning message (Field 'Item number' must be filled in.) and the line number in the database are set to be minus for this line and also the default site and warehouse for this Item is not automatically set.
Question: Looks like I've retrieved the values but didn't pass it correctly to the lookup of the field, I don't understand what exactly I missed to make it work normally.
Thanks in advance.
I'm surprised I missed this at first glance.
This line is your problem:
InventJournalTrans_DS.research();
You're researching before you've updated/written the data. I'm not sure why you're researching in the first place, but you have to do one or the other. Write/Update, then research or don't research. The research is where you're losing the ItemId you've input.

Database design for unknown fields

I am trying to make form builder in android. I have a real problem at designing database. In this application User first drags the required fields to the screen and change the labels of fields. The fields Contains:
CheckBox
RadioButton
TeXtBox
PlainText
This is my mockup:
I have real problem in designing database.I need a help to accomplish it.
Any Links to the tutorials or ER Diagrams will be really appreciated.
In this application user will drag his required fields to the screen as shown in mock up. Suppose when user drags on checkbox icon then the Editable Checkbox label and editable options will appear in the screen. Then Form builder names the label according to his requirements and options also. In this way he first builds the form .
That's what I created in 10 minutes, hope it helps.
TB_FieldType //field type
UUID_Type,
Type_Name, (Checkbox, RadioButton, Textbox, PlainText, Password, DropdownSelect...)
TB_FieldRule //Table field rule
UUID_Rule,
Rule (numeric only, not null...)
TB_UserTable //Save user designed thrir own table
UUID_Table,
Table_Name, (Designed table name)
TB_UserTable_Field //Designed table field detail
UUID_TableField,
UUID_Table,
UUID_Type,
UUID_GroupID, (can be null if field is single type*)
UUID_Rule,
Field_Name, (Display name)
Field_Length,
TB_Group //(for field(s) in multi type*, like RadioButton, DropwodnSelect... )
UUID,
GroupID,
GroupData,
I would create a table for storing the field definitions with fields like this:
survey_id (reference to the survey which the field belongs to)
field_id (unique id of the field)
field_type (checkbox, radio, plain etc.)
field_label
field_data (additional information if required, e.g. selection options for radio - dependent on type)
field_index (defines the order of fields)
... any additional field you may need
From this data, you can dynamically build your GUI.
And you will need another table for storing the answers (if it is in scope of your app):
field_id (reference to the former table)
value (entered by the user)
...user_id, timestamp etc. according to your needs

show different label and values for columns in cognos report studio

I have a column "full name" in a list and I want to configure drill down for it so that when I click on a particular user's full name, it displays all the bio data of that user from another table.
My requirement is that at the front end, it should show the full names of the users, but when I click on the user's name, it should pass E-mail address of the user for the drill down.
Please need help for doing it.
I'm going to assume you are using a list object. the instructions for a crosstab would be slightly different:
Add the item you want to pass to the drill-through target to your query
In the report page, select the list
Click on the ellipses (...) in the 'Properties' property of the list object
Check the box next to the data item that you added to the query in step 1 and click 'OK'
When you define the drill-through parameters, select 'Pass the data item value' for the method and the data item added to the query in step 1 as the Value.

Lookup field appears as numerical values instead of text on Access report

I am trying to create a report putting a field called contact which has the name of a person. This name is linked directly to another table where I keep all the contacts.
For some strange reason, when I include this name (which in query view displays as the name of the contact), instead of the name appearing, the unique ID number is shown on my report.
As mentioned in the article cited in the above comment, you can use a Combo Box control on your report to do the lookup for you. To see how this can be done, create a new report based on the table containing the lookup field, then drag and drop that field onto the report. That will create a Combo Box control with properties that look something like this:
Row Source: SELECT [Clients].[ID], [Clients].[LastName] FROM Clients;
Bound Column: 1
Column Count: 2
Column Widths: 0";1"
You could use a similar Combo Box control on your actual report to display the client's name rather than their numeric ID value.
Another alternative would be to change the Control Source of the report's Text Box control to have it do a DLookUp() on the table. If the lookup field is named [client] then changing the Control Source of the Text Box to something like
=DLookUp("LastName","Clients","ID=" & [client])
would also work.
I wanted to add to the great answer by Gord:
When using a "web" database (started in Access 2007 I think), you cannot change a report's fields to ComboBox style, nor can you use DLookUp(). (web databases lack a ton of features)
The workaround for this, if you want to create a Web-Report that uses lookup fields, is to create a Web-Query first based on your Web-Table (all the Web-* stuff has a www planet icon over the logo, if you create a new Web-DB in Access 2007+ you'll see what I mean)
So, instead of Table -> Report, you'll have to do W-Table -> W-Query -> W-Report.
Then, the only thing you need to customize to get the data right is the W-Query. Start by trying to reproduce the look in the query to match what you want users to see in the report. Note that here in the query, lookups will work fine (instead of the unique ID's, you get field names like you want). However, this will not carry over to the report. To do that, you gotta get the actual text field name you want into the query:
You should already have one table in your query; start by adding the table that your first lookup field points to. For example, the table I want to print is called Stock_Boards, and it has a lookup field called PCBID_lookup that points to the table Stock_PCBs.
Since you're using lookup fields, there should already be a relationship line between the two tables when you add the second one. If there isn't, something has gone horribly wrong.
Now, see how that line connects two fields on the two different tables? For example, I've got my PCBID_lookup field on my Stock_Boards table, which connects to the ID field on my Stock_PCBs table. If I created a report from this now, PCBID_lookup would be a number, a number that correlates to the ID of a record on Stock_PCBs.
To fix it, I will add the name field I want to show up on the report. In my example, that happens to be a Part Number, rather than the ID. I add the PartNumber field from my Stock_PCBs table to the query, and remove the PCBID_lookup field of the Stock_Boards table from my query.
Since PartNumber is what I want to show up on my report, it effectively replaces the original field (PCBID_lookup)
Repeat for all lookup fields you want in your report.
I had 1 more: I removed the Status field of the Stock_Boards table (which was an ID/Lookup) and added the 'Status' field from the Status table (which was the actual text name)
When finished, your query should look exactly how you want the data to appear, without any special tricks or asking Access to do something unnatural. Save your query, and create a web-report from it. Done!

MS Access subform to query based form populating wrong

I'm working on an Access database that has a main table that keeps track of basic user information and several sub-tables that have a one-to-many relationship to the main. Now all users are in one of two groups, which they can move between, and half of the tables only apply to one group. Which group a user is in is determined by a Boolean.
How I intended to set up the the various forms and sub-forms was to have the main form based on the queries:
SELECT *
FROM Foo
WHERE InGroup1 = TRUE
and
SELECT *
FROM Foo
WHERE InGroup1 = FALSE
and then add the appropriate sub-forms.
However, what keeps happening is that if there isn't a record in the sub-table associated with the currently selected ID of the main table, it just displays the first record in the table.
If I make a main form not based on a query it works fine, but then the two groups are mixed together.
Is there a way around this?
I cannot reproduce your problem. This is an example of a form and subform where the subform data does not contain a record for the main form. The main form is based on a query:
SELECT * FROM groups WHERE ingroup1 = true
And is built in MS Access 2010.
