Recently I've started to create some active reports and I'm having some troubles to put a icon into my data control objects. I mean the icon on the picture below:
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.
Cognos is expecting a list of URLs to images in this case. Be sure to use the full URL, not relative (see IBM doc). Data-driven means it needs to come from a database, not be hard-coded.
I'd also suggest bookmarking the official IBM Active Reports cookbook for reference.

I am currently working on the homepage on a Sharepoint online site.
Is there a way to allow the user to navigate between some libraries using arrows? Kind of the same as Image Gallery web part but instead of having images, have directly the different library displayed.
Thank you in advance for the help !
We can not use SharePoint modern document web part, so we could use DetailedList instead.
Official example renderings：
We can write a button on the left and right of the DetailedList to switch the data source of the DetailedList.
Then you can achieve the effect similar to the carousel.
Is it possible to update the screen tips and descriptions of fields in Cognos Analytics 11.0.8 dynamically? We want to have a Data Definition Catalog and use it to update Cognos. The only methods I can find are fairly manual, including BPS Meta Manager.
Look at the steps to integrate InfoSphere Business Glossary into Cognos. I haven't done it, but I've heard people say that the configuration steps can be used for other catalogs, besides the InfoSphere product.
Since the configuration is just a URL, you could point this to a web server you control. Then use the web server logs to identify what Cognos appends to the URL or posts to the URL to identify the field.

Using this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2Y_GC4Zm54 we are trying to print out the shipments as indicated in the video. This would be a great approximation as it would take us closer to printing documents from a new page we created called "Work Orders" which is the fnal requirement.
I have 2 questions:
In the video there is a customization package called "Devicehubinstalled" that adds the Print Queues and Scale pages. Is this customization available for the community? if so, where could I find it?
In this Help article from Acumatica (https://help.acumatica.com/Main?ScreenId=ShowWiki&pageid=de3b7e31-58f7-4e36-a6ec-d40ac9755037) is described how to configure a USB printer in ther server or workstation. I am currently trying it locally and the request is being sent to the printer and it's being placed in queue but without any results. Has anyone face a similar scenario?
Thanks.
1) There is a section to enable scale integration on the partner portal: https://portal.acumatica.com/downloads/advanced-fulfillment-download/
You have to scroll down to the Configuration area. On this page, you can find customizations for different versions of Acumatica. Starting from 2018R1 the DeviceHub for Printers is included in the core product as a feature and there is a separate customization to activate scales and packaging there.
2) The issue can be that the labels printer is not shared. Please check this and change the shared name on the batch file, if needed. You can also have a look at the article about labels printing configuration here: https://www.acumatica.com/blog/technical-tuesday-printing-shipping-labels-using-acumatica/
How can I customize share point portal and do it in a way that is easy to create and maintain. Below is a sample of the portal I inherited from someone else who was using images all over. I outlined in red each image. This image method introduces a lot of rigidity and loads of manual labor to make updates and changes.
can this be done using CSS or somethign other than images?
I tried using this site but i think it falls short and only allows customization of basic share point objects.
As a bonus i would like to see if its possible for each portal in the group that represents a particular project pull project related details like "milestones" from a SQL driven project management system we had home grown. Our team has about 25 projects at any given time.
For SharePoint Branding questions then Heather Solomon's blog is the first place to go to.
Especially have a look at the Resources on the right such as the CSS reference
I've built a web part for Sharepoint that retrieves data from an external service. I'd like to display the items in a way that's UI-compatible with Sharepoint (fits in with its surroundings.)
I'm aware of the "DataFormWebPart" but was unable to get one working properly. It requires a valid DataSource and I was unable to build one from the results of a web service call... Part of the problem is that my web service wrappers don't expose the XML return info, rather I have a bunch of deserialized objects. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to turn actual objects into a datasource, or populate a "generic" datasource from object data.
I could use an SPGridView to get the same UI, but the grid control doesn't have much in the way of smarts -and- it forces every field into its own column. I'd prefer to render each list item as a single cell with complex rendering (for instance the way that StackOverflow shows its lists of questions.) I'd also like to get as much of the Sharepoint-standard UI as possible, such as the sorting, filtering, and paging controls.
So, first: Has anyone here written a Sharepoint control that does this, and if so do you have sample code to share? If not: am I overlooking some useful control, whether MS-supplied or available in an external library?
Thanks!

Sharepoint: Best way to display lists
of non-Sharepoint content with
“compatible” UI?
Take a look at the built in sharepoint web controls:
Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls Namespace
It contains all the controls used in sharepoint. I'd tell you more, but the documentation is very thorough.
Problem with SharePoint is that there are a bunch of different ways to do this. If your data is not changing too often and is not overly large it may be worth considering entering it into a list for display.
If you have the Enterprise licence it may be worth getting your data into the BDC and using it there.
you may have to convert the objects into xml or use the serialised objects with the XML webpart for display. This still has the issue of custom rendering using XSLT.
Here's a great article that explains how to configure BDC connections to web services using the BDC Definition Editor:
Creating a Web Service Connection by Using the Business Data Catalog Definition Editor
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb737887.aspx
The best way to do this IMO is to make a Web Part. As a Web Part the UI will be automatically rendered to be the same as the theme the site is using (unless you override it) and it will be able to be placed anywhere by anyone with admin privileges.

Example Web Part Source Code
You could create a custom web part and use an SPGridView. You say you don't like it, because it forces every field into its own column, but that's not true. You can create a template (ITemplate) for every column and fully customize what's shown inside it, just like you would using a normal ASP.Net GridView. Using this approach I've added the little "New" images right next to a list item's Title, just like SharePoint does itself.
