Changing the Type of the Custom field - acumatica

How can i change the Type of the Custom field in Acumatica?
I created a new custom field of "ComboBox" Type for the Sales Order Header Section.Now i would like to change its type to "TextEdit" so the user can manually enter any value in it. So far there are only few Sales order where user has entered the value in this field.
Thanks

Combo boxes are stored in string fields in the database - you can therefore easily replace the control on the page with a text edit field. The simplest way is to remove the combo box from the layout editor, and then adding it back as a text box from the "Add Data Fields" tab. If you want to modify the properties of the field itself, you have to go to the Data Access section and modify the attributes of the field (PXDBString + remove PXStringList attribute if you have one). Lastly, if this is a field you were creating as part of your customization project, you might have to manually edit the Table node of the project XML (File -> View Project XML)

Adding/Updating contentful richtext entry name

contentful newbie here:)
while adding a rich text entry I can see the name of the entry is defaulted to untitled and can't see any way to change it. any idea how can we add/update names for rich text entries in contentful?
Steps:
when i click on Add entry -> Generic rich text
below screen displayed but was not able to update the entry name
Thanks in advance
You just need to go into your content model for that Rich text field and create a new field called 'Name' or something like that. It doesn't matter what you call it. Then click 'Create and Configure.' Go to the settings tab. Then check the box to make it the entry title.
See screenshot here:
Then when you go make a new entry of that content type, you just input a name into that 'Name' field, and it will become your Entry Title.

Clear values from Netsuite Item Custom field

I have created a Custom Field in Netsuite for Item.
Due to some data issue, the value in the custom field is corrupted and i need to again reset all the values to null or empty.
How i can empty the Custom Field value to null through the Netsuite Portal and not through scripts?
Just change the data type on the custom field. You will get a warning saying "Changing this custom field type will delete all data in existing records. Are you sure you want to do this?" Click "OK" and save, then you can change it back to the original data type and carry on as you were.
#Krypton's answer is definitely the fastest, you can also use the Mass Update feature to accomplish this, but you'll need to do each item type individually:
Lists -> Mass Update -> Mass Updates
Expand "General Updates"
Click on Items -> Inventory Item
Leave the "Criteria" blank if you want to clear the field for all records
On the "Mass Update Fields" tab, check the "Apply" box next to the field you want to clear
Do not enter anything in the "Value" column
Click the "Preview" button.
Click the "Perform Update" button
You'll need to do this for each item type (Inventory Item, Non-Inventory Item (for Sale), Kit/Package, etc.)
Another way of doing it is to uncheck the Store Value, save, check Store Value, save.

How to make text field to people picker in edit form in SharePoint 2013

There is text filed in which "Author" name saved while submitting new form but while editing that form is there any way by which I can make it People picker and user can select the new name name and save the changes.
Unfortunately Naveen's answer's will not work for you.
The Client People Picker does not apply to SharePoint 2013 on-premise, except when writing a custom AddIn which you are not doing.
You also can't change the existing Text field of Author to be a people field directly as that is an illegal/invalid field type modification.
You will need to edit your existing field and rename it to something like AuthorOld/AuthorText. And then create a new field as a person field named Author.
However, it sounds like you're trying to let the user edit the field for who created the item. That field is locked for editing by end users. You can however, hide that field and just create a new person field with a default value of [Me] (this fills in the current users name when they create an item). Which will let you get the behavior it sounds like you're after :)
What my understanding is in SP Default edit form you have a Text Field to Save the User Value. Now you need to make that Text field as PeoplePicker Control.
You have 2 choice to done this.
1) Go with OOB. Make that Text field which is used to save the "Author" name as User Field. So it will be act as a PeoplePicker control in Both New/Edit Form.
2) Add Content Editor Webpart in the Edit Form. And make that Text Field as Client people picker.

Want to create an column in Dynamic View Panel that displays "Favorites" icon

I am using a Dynamic View Panel and would like to create a "Favorites" column in the view. The underlying view has a "Favorites" multivalue names field that contains all users that have flagged the document as a favorite. What I would like to do is to handle this conversion in a "Customizer" bean where I can compare the current user with the stored vales in the "Favorites" column and see if they are in the list. If they are I would present a "Green Star" icon (not a standard Notes icon) else I would present an empty star icon. I would also like to make the star icon live so if you click on the star it would toggle the favorite value in the database on/off.
How do I implement such a feature?
What are the DominoViewCustomizer methods I need to override? (looking at afterCreateColumn)
How do I get and set the column values? (really lost here)
How do I get the column to display a Notes resource image (my stars) or do I need to store it in a directory on server?
How do I make the star icon clickable?
How do I capture that click event?
Using Domino v9.0.1
If you don't have to use a dynamic view panel here's a way of doing it that will work with a view panel, repeat, or data table...
Use a "favorites" document for each user. Have it contain one multi-value item to store the Note IDs of all the documents the user favorited.
When the user logs on read the contents of the multi-value field into a sessionScope variable. Then in your view column all you need to do is check if the NoteID of the current row is in your sessionScope variable and display the appropriate icon.
For the part when a user clicks on a star you would have an event handler on that column that does a lookup to the user's favorites document (create it if it doesn't exist) and add or remove the NoteID then do a partial refresh on the view.
You can probably still do this with a dynamic view panel but I can't speak to the particulars of it since I don't use it much.

Sharepoint 2007 : How to disable TextBox

I am new to sharepoint 2007. I have a following requirement.
1) I would to create a custom list for employee where they can select the item and fill-out the form and submit.
Example : List --> Hard Disk --> Click --> Create new list -->
List has following fields 1) EmpID 2) Customer name (Text) , 3) Order Date, 4) Qty 5) Price
Once user submit the list then I would like to disable the EMPID field and allow same user to edit the other fields if required.
How can I disable the text field (Empid) in the Sharepoint 2007 ? I would appreciate any other alternate or better idea.
Thanks,
Regards
Vick
I would use jQuery for this purpose. Here is an example that describes how to hide a text field on a SharePoint form. Change the .hide() to .attr('disabled','disabled') and this will disable the text field.
If you need help with deploying jQuery, see this question.
I am not sure its a better idea or not, but for that i used to do for this common scenario
that
fist identify the textbox id in html source (through web browser view source) after that i wrote javascript function to disable textboxes i.e. EMPID or we can do through style sheet and apply style using javascript..
You can create multiple content types for the same list. Have the user fill out the content type that contains the EmpID field (put a link in the LeftNav that sends them to NewItem.aspx with the proper ContentTypeId). Make the default content type the one without the EmpID, so when they go back in and edit they won't see that EmpID field.
The downside to this is that they'll see both content types in the New button dropdown. You can name them in a way that makes sense (New Hard Disk Order, Edit Hard Disk Order)
