I have a dxp file published to Library (Server) having 5 dashboards.
All my filters are created using Document Properties for users to interact
with.
I did the below scenario:
Selected certain values from the Properties so that data gets filtered
in reports.
Did the same in all 5 pages
Created a bookmark
Went ahead and made some more changes to the report. Selected another
set of values/changed the time frame
Did the same ini all 5 pages
Created a bookmark.
Now when I close the Analysis and reopen it, the latest bookmark gets
applied to it by default. (I do not know if this is a feature).
When I click on the older bookmark, only first 2 pages reflect filter
values properly. Rest reflect the New one.
When I re-did this, the last 3 were showing properly. First 2 had proper
time range as well, but the product filters were wrong.
Does anything special need to be done for bookmarks?
Regards,
Subro
The latest book marks are getting applied by default because it's the state where you last saved the dxp. You can click on the first book mark, save the dxp, and this will be what the users see when they open it on a Web Player.
Additionally, You can allow the users to return to the last "view" of the analysis / where they left off if you change this setting:
Edit > Document Properties > Library (tab) > "Remember personalized view for each Web Player user"
It's hard to diagnosis the problem with the filters without seeing the dxp... but i suspect it is because of step 4, "Went ahead and made some more changes to the report". Depending on what you did, this would cause errors. Bookmarks aren't a snapshot of the memory...

Situation is next one:
I created several tiles. Every tile need to show count of records.
Tile "Expired Active Contracts" always shows zero.
There is created simple query with data source table Contract. Ranges are added (ContractStatus; Value: 2) and (ValidTo; Value: (LessThanDate(0)) )
When it's clicked on tile, it opens valid form with valid record, where contracts status is active (2) and ValidTo are any date before today's date, but count doesn't working.
Tried to recreate, tried several things but definitely nothing. ValidTo field is date field.
Some time ago I had a mistake very similar to yours in my dev environment, this steps help me to fix the error.
1 - Clear Usages Data.
2 - SysAdmin/Setup/Data cache/Tile data cache configuration. Select
the tiles which are running into this issue and then delete the
selected tiles.
3- In VS rebuilt and Synchronized the Solution.
4 - Finally refresh the Application browser.
Another thing is that a while ago there was a problem for tiles refresh

Is there a way to extract a table from a web page in Automation Anywhere after taking certain steps using web recorder. The table does not appear directly, it appears after clicking few controls after launching the URL.
The table that I want to extract is coming after loggin in to the website and filtering using a control for search criteria.
I used web recorder to login and putting the desired search criteria in a text field and I want to extract the table now. When I use web recorder, it launches the URL again and takes me back to the login page which I dont want. I want the bot to stay on the page. Pls help.
Also, what is the significance of session name of an extracted table?
If you clicked on Advanced View, you will find at Step 5 : to run this command using an existing IE window. Try to write the URL of the page with the table and not the one of the login page.
The extracted table is to be used using variable $Table Column(Index)$ with index being the column number or column name
you can export directly using object cloning and in the selection criteria export to csv file. But we need to click on html inner text also in search criteria
An old question, but my experience has been the Extract Data/Table commands are rather poor. Not only do they only work in IE, you cannot call them as commands, they have to be called via a web recording.
Instead, I've found it much more useful to object clone the initial element, grab the DOMXPath, and variablize that. Then throw it into a loop while command and set the condition on finding at least one element (of the elements for the table you are trying to build). You can grab all sorts of useful info in the object clone command and then right that to a variable/table.
For example
//div[#id='updatable-standings']/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[3]/td[2]/div[1]/span[2]
//div[#id='updatable-standings']/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[4]/td[2]/div[1]/span[2]
I can create a incremental variable for {tr[3]} and call it $vTeamLoop$ and change my DOMXPath value in the Object Clone to be
//div[#id='updatable-standings']/div[1]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/table[1]/tbody[1]/tr[$vTeamLoop$]/td[2]/div[1]/span[2]
Ultimately, it is more steps than the Data/Table Extract command, but it is far less limited in scope.
Hope that helps.

I am trying to build a PowerApp to log setup times of our machines by our fitters.
This is what my app looks like:
There are buttons named "Uhrzeit". Pressing these will write the current date and time into the Date/Time fields. I am using the following code:
UpdateContext({Total8:(Text( Now(); "[$-de-DE]dd/mm/yyyy hh:mm:ss" ))})
The Date/Time field is named Total8.
The code is working well but after saving the form and opening a new record the old data is still available in the fields. By clicking on the button "Zeiten zurücksetzen" I can "delete" the old data.
UpdateContext({Total8:""})
Problem: When I open one of the older records the old data is not available in the form. There is only the value of the last record. In the Common Data Service where my records are saved the values are correct.
As an example, I am saving this record:
When I open a new record, the values of the record 1 are still available. This should not be the case if my app worked properly.
For your Information:
If I enter the date/time without tapping the button, saving the record and opening a new record I don't have the problem. I think the "UpdateContext" code is not the code I should use here.
Can anyone help me solve the problem?
I don't think there's a problem with using the contexts in this way -- but remember that a context is just a variable. It isn't automatically linked to a datasource in any special way - so if you set it equal to Now(), it's going to keep that value until you do something different.
When you view an old record, you need to get the data from CDS and update your contexts to match the CDS data. Does this make sense?
Yeah thats my problem.
I want the variable to be linked to a datasource. Or is it possible to write the date/time into the fields without using a context variable?
Is there a way to call the Google Feed API so that it skips X number of entries in a feed?
To explain the context:
I'd like to load additional entries on demand from a particular feed. So a user can click a "Load more" type button, and an ajax function fires to retrieve additional entries. Just to put some numbers on the scenario, lets say I load 10 entries by default, and want to load an additional 10 each time a user clicks on a "load more" button.
With the historical entries / numEntries API functions, I can essentially solve my problem by retrieving 10 + ( number of entries already loaded ), and only output the last 10. But this is pretty ugly, because every time a user loads another 10 entries, they have to load ALL the previous entries as well, so the load gets larger everytime they load more entries. Seems pretty inefficient!
Inspecting the API docs at Google, I couldn't find any reference to a "skip entries", or "start from X entry" type of API method / variable, so I could make my ajax call nice and lean, and just get 10 entries, starting from ( number of entries already loaded).
Anybody have any experience / suggestions for me?
I think you'll have to load all items first, but only display 10 at first. If they click "show more" you then show them the next 10 (you'll have to keep an internal pointer of your position in the list of items). So essentially, you aren't "loading" 10 more, you're "showing" 10 more.
I have a form in which I am attaching a workflow to. The form has a number that will be auto-generated. For example the first number will be 1, the next time the form is opened the number should be 2, so on and so forth. The issue I am having is: in the Default Value under the Text Box Properties I have the Value as: count(mynumber QuoteNumber) +1. When the form is generated the first and only number is 2 the number begins at 2 and never increases. Can someone help me with this or explain what I may be doing wrong? Thank You. I'm not using visual studio.
Rachel: I have fought with this problem since InfoPath 2007. Here is how I do it.
Since you say you are attaching a workflow, I assume you are using the from in SharePoint.
1 - create your form library in SharePoint
2 - use InfoPath to design the form. When you publish the form to SP, make sure you promote AT LEAST the ID field you want to auto-inc. (I usually promote every field in my forms, 'cause I like to use them like SP lists.)
3 - In SP, create one new form and manually set the ID field to the starting number for your form series.
4 - return to InfoPath designer and re-open your form template.
5 - create a new data source to receive data from your SP form library and specify your form library as the source, and the ID field as a data element. Name the data source something like “ID Lookup”.
6 - open the properties of the field you want to auto-inc on your form and, in the default value box, select function, then choose the MAX function.
And add “+1” after the function to increment by 1.
Now, double-click in the field are of the Max function. You will see a dialog showing your form fields. Notice the drop-down at the top of the dialog – here you can choose the data source (notice I named mine “sales Contracts” in this example). If you select the data source you created in step 5, you will see a dialog showing you a couple of data branches.
Expand the ‘dataFields’ branch until you see the field you want to auto-inc. Click on this.
Your formula dialog will look something like:
max(ID_X0020) + 1
With your field name instead of the 'ID' in the Max function – the function will now return the Maximum value of the field IN THE FORM LIBRARY, plus 1.
Save the form in InfoPath and try previewing it. You will probably get a security warning – your InfoPath form is grabbing data from your SharePoint library on the fly. You may even get asked to re-enter your password (I usually do). When the new, blank form is displayed in InfoPath preview, you should see you ID field filled in with a value one greater that the number in that field of your SP library.
There is one huge Gothca with this method - if users re-open a completed form to edit it, the formula will probably try to replace the ID number. If your users don't edit the forms after they are submitted, the this will work for you.
Hope this makes sense.
You aren't doing anything wrong - you just have to change how you think about "forms" a bit. Remember a form is just like a word document template. Suppose you save a word document on your hard drive with a blank spot to fill in your name. Later you open the template, type your name, and save a copy as V1.doc. When you go back and open the template again - your name is not there because it was saved in V1.doc. Everytime you open the template you start again from scratch.
Infopath forms that you design and that the user fills out are templates (.xsn files). When the user fills it out and saves it they are really saving a copy which is only data (.xml files). The .xsn template doesn't change when users interact with it.
So to answer your question - there is no way directly in InfoPath to cleanly keep track of an auto incrementing ID. You will need to tap into some code (webservice, sharepoint, etc) to do that. You could also consider making the ID a GUID (which infopath does support) but it won't be auto incrementing and it won't look "clean" if it has to be displayed/used by real people.
