Is there anyone here using Infor PM Application studio or has experience with it? I m stuck on afew problems but find virtually no resource to get help and the manual is dull and not helpful.
Please let me know if you can answer afew question. I'm new to the application so most questions are usability, things like how to manipulate global variables.
Specifically, my question is to do with How i can relate a Selection in "List box" to a HyperBlock.
for example, if i have a List Box that allows user to select a year (2010,2011...etc). This list box outputs to a global variable I’ve created, and i can use this global variable to structure the Hyperblock to show the contents based on selected year.
BUT i also need to structure hyperblock based on previous year and the year before that and not just current. So if user picks 2011, i also need to display 2010 and 2009. I am stuck on how i can do this.
Thanks
yes, there are developers using Infor PM10 App Studio. Feel free to ask more questions to me or the comunity as StackOverflow will solve them all ;-)
Here is another solution to your problem with scripting (where "ListViewYear" is the Name of your Year Dropdown box and "glb_YearFrom" hast to be a global variable):
Sub ListViewYear_SelChange ()
year = LV_Year.Text ' e.g. "2011"
SetGlobalVariable "glb_YearFrom", year-2
End Sub
The global Var "glb_YearFrom" can now be used in any Hyperblock List to filter it's content.
I believe you use the global variable in the Structure Selection of the List which fills the HyperBlock. To be able to answer your question I need to know more about the case.
Do you use Client or Server Olap List?
Does the combo offer a flat or a hierarchical list of elements?
Do you always want to take the years from the first to the selected one?
In case you have a flat list of years and want to select all from the first till the selected one, just create a range in the Structure Selection. The range should go from the first year to the variable stored in the global List.

I'm attempting to create a report that is based off the current date. So, for example, creating a line graph that shows total work for all resources for the next 2 months. It would be very similar to the resource overview dashboard, but it wouldn't be pulling in data from the entire project.
The 'Resource Usage' view below has been very helpful, as it would be visual aids based on the hour allocations below.
We can create a graph like the one below in the reporting module, I would like the graph to only look at the next 2 months (instead of the entire project duration).
The goal is to look at capacity and future work allocation to easily look at resource availability to aid in assigning future tasks.
Thoughts? Tips? Advice?
You should be able to use the built-in Report capability in MS Project 2016. Try modifying the Progress Versus Cost chart in the Cost Overview report.
I am a newbie in Infopath & Sharepoint. I am trying to create a form from Infopath 2013 and publish it as a document library to Sharepoint. I have some 60 fields that needs to be calculated(add) into another field. When tried to use the Design Checker, it throws an error as mentioned below in the screenshot. But it accepts if I key in only 45 fields in the Insert Formula text area. Is there any limitation on number of fields to be entered in Insert Formula? When I use PREVIEW in Infopath it works fine. This error pops up only when I try to publish it to Sharepoint. Any ideas on how to resolve this? - Thanks inadvance
InfoPath preview is rendered with IP Filler. The Browser experience has always been different, and the Filler preview is not a reliable check for the browser experience. You may have hit the limits of what a browser form can do. I don't have the numbers or limits, though.
Looking at the error message, you seem to be amassing an awful lot of calculations in one single field. My gut feeling is that this is very bad information architecture. What is the purpose of the form? What are you trying to achieve? Why would anyone have 60 fields in a form?
It looks as if you are summing a large number of cells. InfoPath is not a spreadsheet.
Use repeating tables to capture similar data. Then you can total the table entries with a standard IP function.
This looks like a sum of all the items a restaurant has on the menu. This is a perfect case for a repeating table. Don't use all 60 items on the menu in a list of 60 fields all in one form. That is overkill and not user-friendly. Create a repeating table structure where the user selects one of the 60 items and enters the transaction data. Each row of the repeating table can have another item of the list of 60. The grand total will be calculated from the entries.
If that is not viable, use helper fields to calculate sub totals by item category, and create a grand total from all the category totals.
We are having an issue with the form EcoResProductCategory. At one point, this form had a column named 'Category' that our company utilized. Somehow this column has gone missing. My team develops on the CUS level and there is a vendor that I believe pushes additions to the level lower. As of now, there is no CUS level customization to this form. When looking at the form in the AOT, it appears that the Category field is in fact present (and visible in the properties). But once the form is opened, it still doesn't show.
Any ideas or pointers? I am still new to Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 and I apologize for asking a question like this.
Another Note: When compared to the AX Demo, it seems like our environment is missing the following label...
Is it missing for all users, or for one user? In the latter, it could be that it is hidden by by MorphX (Right-clicked and hidden).
Just to make sure it isn't usage data, delete the usage data for that user.
Turns out, a related data table had a field removed. Therefore the dropdown was never being generated.
I have a scenario as given in the below workflow diagram using core service.
First step is manual step author will create/edit content and finish the activity and it is assigned to everyone.
In the second step, I want to do filter the users based on their groups.
In the third step, couple of scenario
a. If the user belongs to group "A" I want to list out all the next 3 available activities, User A can choose any one of these 3 activities.
b. If the user belongs to group "B", I want to list out "Reviewer" and "Approver" activity as next activity, user b can select any one of these 2.
Can any one give some idea to achieve this?
You should turn your problem around. Yes, it is possible, but the amount of knowledge required will be a huge barrier for you to implement.
So, instead think about it differently.
Change your "Filter Next activity" automated activity to an automatic decision, and have your code that determines the group membership also determine which activity should be next
have 2 forward paths from there - 1 for the users of Group A, other for the users of group B
on each forward path, have different selection options. You may try having links to the same activity from 2 different manual decisions, I don't know if that works though.
Worst case scenario you'll have repeated activities (not in name, but in function), and you saved yourself about 2 months of headaches trying to cope with the learning curve of doing CME extensions.
The simple answer to your initial question is: "no, this functionality is not out of the box".
But of course many things are possible by implementing critical parts yourself.
You'd probably need a GUI extension of some sorts to allow the user to pick from a list.
You'd need to store the information between phases of your custom solution.
And you'd then need some code in an automated workflow activity to implement the picking of the next activity.
Most of these steps have been covered in other questions already. Did you have a look for each of these? If so, you might want to share how far you already got and where you are stuck.
I am trying to add a column to my SharePoint list to caculate the change in tonnage from the last entry.
For example, assume that the last entry was made about two weeks ago (1/15) and I am making new entry today (2/1). How can I add a column that will caculate the difference between the tonnage entered on 1/15 and the tonnage being entered on 2/1?
I understand that this may be difficult to do, but please let me know if there is any possilbity. Or if there is another tool in SharePoint that will help me cacluate the change over time.
Please help.
Thanks.
I can't think of a way to do it with SharePoint Designer. But if you implemented an ItemAdding Event Receiver, you could look up the value of the previous entry, perform the calculation, and store the value in your column.
