In PeopleSoft Query, I want to allow users to choose multiple values within a single prompt. I work at a higher education institution, so I'll give a real time example. In the Faculty of Science (the field is GRP), there are 8 departments - Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, etc.(this field is an ORG) . In the prompt for ORG, I want the user, within that single prompt, to choose multiple ORG values. So far, the only solution I have come across is to create multiple prompts and allow the user to choose each ORG separately. Is this even possible? I did research earlier, and someone 7 years ago posted a solution, but later on someone else indicated that this only works for earlier tools versions. I tried to run the solution and it failed (as predicted).
Has anyone figured out a way to do it in PS Query? The only other recommendation that I have received is to write the report in BI Publisher.
In PS 9.2, create multiple prompts for the same field (:1, :2,..., :N).
Give them unique names in the Heading Text field (Org1, Org2,..., OrgN).
Add Criteria and in Expression1 select the Field Name (Org).
Select Condition Type 'in list' (Expression Type defaults to 'In List').
For Expression2 (Edit List), click the magnifying glass to add members.
On the Edit List page, click the Add Prompt link and select prompt :1 (repeat for prompts :2 through :N).
Click OK and save your changes.

My problem is the following.
I have two tables.
The first table is a guest list where the information on who is the guest and how many beds he need is stored. Screenshot
And the second table contains the Apartment names and the number of provided beds.
Now I want to make a dropdown list in the guest list table where only Beds are shown that provide the right amount of beds. And after a Apartment is selected it cant be picked a second time.
Can someone provide me a code for this solution?
Thank you very much!
There is functionality in Excel to use Dropdowns, to do this you need to identify your drop down requirements as shown below. Only include items the dropdown list if these not going to change.
I recommend to create a new tab in your excel workbook for list, then you can reference this in cell you want -https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/video-create-and-manage-drop-down-lists-28db87b6-725f-49d7-9b29-ab4bc56cefc2
Dropdown list
Guest 1
Guest 2
Guest 3
Assumptions:
Sound like you need know if bed a is available based off guest drop down list. If bed is available or not it can't be selected again.
I will let you attempt this but you can try and use IF Statement or VLOOKUP.
I'm new to BO, i want to prompt the report user to select multiple items from a list before generating the report.
the list is dynamic and it should read from a (look up) table in DB.
i tried to use #prompt function but cant do it.
one more thing, i want the user to be able to filter the data in browser
regards!
Instead of using #prompt, you can try like this.
In Modify(Design) Mode, go to Data Access --> Edit.
There in filter bar, drag the Object that you want to appear as Prompt for the user, say Year. Select "In List" and change it to a Prompt by selecting the Prompt option from "define filter type" which is available at the end of the filter object selected.
hope this helps you to resolve.
I have a View in Lotus notes by formula.
The View is as follows by Org Exec \ Organization \ Total Headcount
I have a "show twistie when row is expandable" enabled and "Categorized" selected as Type for the column "Org Exec" & "Organization"
For example data looks like this: Marshell Rodrigues \ Tester \ 100
However my problem is that tester has the list of 100 people within it and i do not want to show that level of details in the view? I want Organization not to show the list of people within it.
I tried the Hide detail row on the Organization column properties but that does not work it still shows data within the organisation in the view
any ideas or suggestion ?
What is the purpose of the view?
I am trying to Export this View in Excel Using ODBC Connection Thus i want the details at a higher level
What kind of documents are in the database?
Each employee has his record in the database with his details liek organization , execs, headcount name, serial number .
What kind of information should be displayed ?
Like i said the information to be displayed need to be at a high level for example :
Give me All Organization Execs by Organization Total Headcount (i just want the total number i do not want to see a drill down on thoes numbers in the view)
Example if Org "abc" has 10 headcount i just want it to display 10 ... i do not want to see who thoes 10 people are.
and from which docs does the info come from?
All the docs have a fields named Org Execs and Organisation and Headcount(were Headcoutn can be 1 if working and 0 if not working for individual month)
What are the column formulas?
Select form = "xyz" ....
Columns Org Execs \ Organization \ HeadCount (All 3 are fields in each record)
I would call that a "roll-up report", but views in Lotus Notes are not reports. They are designed to give users access to documents. Summarizing data (with totals, percentages, etc.) is just an additional feature that was thrown in on top of the functionality for accessing documents.
There are a variety of reporting products for Notes, and they are designed to do what you want. You might want to look into them if you have a lot of similar requirements for a lot of different views.
There is also a way that you could do this with ReaderNames fields and an ID file that does have access to the database but doesn't have access to the documents. Categories that are "empty" (i.e., contain no documents) will show up for a user, but this is a hack and not the right way to approach the problem. I really do not recommend it. (It will probably only work for viewing anyhow. I doubt an export will actually work in this setup, though I confess I've never tried it, and maybe it will.)
If this is just a one-off job, my suggestion would be to write an agent to collect the summary information that you want and either create summary documents in a folder, which you could then export and delete; or to have your agent directly write the data to Excel.
I have defined a couple of lists for capturing registration details of the user. There is a list for holding personal details of the user and there is another list which holds professional details of the user.
The two lists are used over two different pages in which name and ID both are required.
How do I get the name and ID populated automatically into the professional list from personal list so as the user doesn't have to fill the similar information twice?
Is it possible without doing any coding stuff?
This little control may help you

Basically you would link the first Cascading drop down control to your user details list and the field name. The second drop down would then filter the users ID so the user can select that.
I have used this before and it can be a pain in the backside to configure but when it's there it is so very powerful and useful.
It's not fully automated but i'm unsure how you would get any closer with a bespoke event receiver.
Create the custom form there, you have keep some text box with the refresh button, so when ever you fill the user id and press the refresh button. You need to right small logic to bring the user from the the source list.
Or you can use the personal details id as look up column in the prop list so you will get the id and select the id and do refresh. Anyway you have right the logic in your custom form code.
In CRM 2011, on a contact lookup when you start typing in the lookup field, the auto complete only shows those contacts which recently have been used. For example, there are 2 contacts Amanda Lyle and Amanda Neil. I start typing "Am" and the records won't be shown in auto complete list unless I have already used them (on some particular entity save). I want to see all records starting with "Am" whether I have recently used/saved them.
This is simply not the way CRM 2011 is designed. The only way to get it to show all the contacts, is to click the lookup button.
If you wanted to change this functionality, you'd have to create a custom control.
Note: if you type in a valid choice, it will still auto-resolve to the record even if it doesn't show in the recent list. If you type in a partial, it should give you a list of suggestions as well.
