I want to implement similar functionality as in an address book of any android device with an addition of checkboxes in the list. But I want to implement it in BlackBerry and the support has to be given from OS 4.5+.
The screen should contain a search text field for searching names. Below the text box should be a list field with checkboxes with the names.
As I type in the search field, with every letter added or deleted, my list should show the relevant names and I should be able to check or uncheck the names. Also when i type next name, the one checked before should remain checked. At the end, i want all the checked contacts to be stored in a vector.

When I create a list, I have gotten into the habit of doing the following:
Change Title field name to Item
Give it the default value of View
Go to Advanced Settings
Allow management of content types > Yes
Click Save
Then in Settings, click on the Item type
Then click on the Item field and select Hidden
Then go back to Advanced Settings
Allow management of content types > No
Click Save
The result of this is that:
The Title field (now called Item) is hidden in the form
I have a column called Item, which has the link View in each row (which opens up the item)
I can’t remember why I started doing this (possibly one of the reasons outlined in this video), but the use case must have demanded it and I just kept doing it.
However, lately I have been having troubling thoughts about whether it negatively effects indexing or has any other undesired outcomes.
For example, I did a search in a list the other today, and in the drop down search results that were displayed, I just got multiple rows of the value View.
I also read just before posting this question that list items in the recycle bin will be identified by the value that was in the Title column. So if they all say View it will be impossible to differentiate one from the other.
So I just thought I would see if there is any authoritative, definitive best practice around the Title column, and ask if my convention is bad and if so what I should replace it with.
Thank You.
(Edit: I also hide the Title column in document libraries, as it doesn’t seem to serve a purpose, as clicking on the value in the Name column opens up the document anyway - therefore the ‘link’ action of the Title field is not required).
Within Excel spreadsheet I would like to create a drop-down list with a blank space incase unknown information has to be inputted. I created a list for the most common information that is inputted but once in a blue moon rare information needs to be logged. Since the information is so rare and unknown it’s not possible to include it within the excel drop down box (since it’s unknown at the moment and will only be used once I therefore don’t want to add it within the drop-down list). I have created the list with a blank spot so I can type in the rare information in but when I click the blank information and try to type in the rare information a box pops up and says, this value doesn’t match the date validation restrictions defined for this cell. Is there a way to overcome this in Excel?
enter image description here
Also, once that problem is solved, I would also like to also have a drop list always present in the column (not just when the field is selected) and I did go to insert and symbols Wingdings 3: 128 but that didn’t work. Maybe it’s because I have included a blank slot in the drop-down list. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
I think a dropdown list can only have predefined values. If you need other potential values, you would need to add an additional column for that data. Maybe use an option of "Other" in the dropdown and have an extra column for unusual values.
I'm new to Netsuite, so please bear with me. I have created a saved item search that is working fine with one exception; one of the result columns I have chosen is not displaying data in the returned rows. This is a custom field created by our old Netsuite Administrator and it does display data on an item record, just not in search results. I've done some searching and thought I found the problem when I read another post that said that "Global Search" and "Show In List" needed to be checked on the custom field. I did that, but the search results still do not display any data for that column.
The field is a custom item field of the type decimal number. Store value, show in list and global search is checked. The field is applied to inventory items, non-inventory items, kit/package and assembly/bill of materials. What am I missing? TIA
I suspect the field has field level access permissions. Go to the field definition and click the 'Access' tab. The 'Default Level or Searching/Reporting' should be at least 'Run'.
Global Search on a field makes it so if you enter a value in the Global Search bar that matches the field's value for an item then that item will be shown as a possible match. It has nothing to do with your issue. Neither does Show in List.
I have a custom list with the following fields:
Title: Single line of text
Description: Multiple lines of text
Remarks: Multiple lines of text
Recipient: Person or Group
Whenever I input two or more people in the Recipient field, in View Item page (Display form), contents of Description and Remarks becomes blank/empty.
Contents are displayed okay on the main view of custom list, and in EDIT mode.
If I input a single person only in the Recipient field, the contents for Description and Remarks are displayed in Display form.
Note: Recipient field is set to accept multiple values. I'm using Sharepoint 2013.
I am new to Sharepoint and I'd like to know a way on how to troubleshoot/debug this matter. Or are the multi-line fields somehow connected to the person field? Or any setting that I need to setup? How can I check?
I tried to search but I found no same situation as far.
If there is no customization in Display form, it should work fine. If it works for Single User in Recipient, It should work for multiple users too.
For further troubleshooting, You can create a test list and create same type of columns in it. Then see if the Display form works fine in that test list. It will let you know if the issue is related to the specific list or it's generic. You can then narrow down your troubleshooting options based on this result.
I am very new to Infopath, and need some architechtual guideslines. My scenario is as follows:
I have a Sharepoint list, let's say it contains beer, and three items of it: "Kronenbourg", "Corona", "Tuborg". "Beer" is a content type, derived from Item.
What I need to do :
I need to create a "dynamic" Infopath form, that presents the user with a CheckBox for each beer. If a new beer is added to the Beer list, a new Checkbox should show up on the form without intervention, even on saved instances of the form. I have not decided what should happen upon deletions.
I then need to save this infopath form, including the selections, in a sharepoint form library, so that the users can go back to one of maybe many beer-forms that they have saved, and maybe change the selections.
I also need to build a string from the selections at some point in time, and present this string in a visible column in the form library, but thats beyond the scope of this post.
What I managed to throw together so far:
I have a kind of working Infopath form. I have added a sharepoint dataconnection to the Beer list, and dragged a repeating table to the design area. This "works", i get a list of my list items. I then added dummy Y/N field to my beer content type, selected it in the fields, and now i get a neat checkbox next to my records.
Obviously this does not seem right. I do not need to save anything back to the Beer table, I only need to use the beer table for lookup, and keep the selected choices in the saved instance of the form.
Ok, thanks for staying with me so far. What do I do here, can Infopath be persuaded to support a scenario like this, or am I better off building custom webparts? I think my main questions are:
Can I maybe attach an "input-only" CheckBox to a repeating list/section ? (and how do I refer to such dynamically created control)
How do I make Infopath load the choices dynamicly from db, but save the data in the instance of the form?
Should, and can I maybe attach a content type to the form library, representing the choices and somehow attach that to the form?
Thanks for any input
If I understand your requirements, I think the thing to do here is to use a Multi-Selection list box (MSLB). This can have its values populated from a secondary data source (i.e. a list), and it would be bound to a repeating field that would automatically have values added and removed as values are selected and deselected.
As far as getting the selections into a single string, if you just want this value for a column of the form library that the forms will be submitted to, you can just use this repeating field as a promoted property, and use the "Aggregate" option to combine the values into one.
The other option would be to create a separate field to hold the string and use the "double eval trick" (please Google that) to combine the values into one. One gotcha here is that if you use double eval trick with a MSLB, you have to put the formula both in a rule on the MSLB's field, and in the default value formula for the target field.
