Has anyone done this without redefining the forms from scratch as Lawson suggests We moved our 8.03 forms to lsf9 and opened them with the 9.0 designer then saved them. We found some AGS calls that needed to be changed in the xml code, otherwise it appears to work. We are having a problem with a date string.

I've hidden the SS displaying on the form PA22 with DS but now i need to deal with the SS on the PA222 report listing.  Is it possible to do this

My onclick events on certain items in my portal page are not behaving as expected when running Firefox (works fine for IE).  Does anyone have a javascript example on the different ways each browser handles the onclick event Any help will be appreciated.

Hello, I am using Design Studio's Data Query Objcet to pull some data from our database. However i want to do something to this data, like add my own formating in there. For a few examples, I have a date field, I would like to tack the the day of the week onto it. Another example is i have a time field that is stored in the DB as '16:00:00' but i want it to display as '4:00 PM'. Has anyone tried doing any data formating is it even possible i am really hoping that i am not stuck w...

All: I have done a Google search and gone through many of the articles on this site, but I cant seem to find an example of an AGS call from Javascript code. I need a simple Javascript function that makes an AGS (Inquire) call to Lawson 8.0.3 and returns the string data returned from the AGS call. I will be using this in a custom HTML form. Thanks!

I'm using Design Studio 9 and in my Design Studio User Guide 9 I see this but i can not get the Count to display on a portal page or find this option in the dme builder. From guide: Count (MAXOUT attribute or RECORDS node) If selected, provides a count of records that resulted from the query. Does anyone know how to capture the record count and display it  Ex: /servlet/Router/Data/ErpPROD=TEST&FILE=EMPLOYEE&FIELD=EMPLOYEE;EMP-STATUS;PROCESS-LEVEL;&MAX=55&INDEX=EMPSET2&KEY=155=ABC123==...

Needed to add a new pay code to YR36 so I pulled it up in Design Studio.  Added it and set the revised form as the default form.  It showed up in portal but when I enter a record with the new code on it, it says the new code is not in the list and it lists all the other pay codes.  I have cleared the cache and re-indexed the forms and checked the PRPayCode table to insure the new code is listed.  Can't get it to work.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.  I'm on apps 8 and lsf 9.

Hi Current project has a need: When a user clicks a button called 'validate', it should execute an external  url http://externalServer:port/URL That http call executes a Java program on external system and returns a string. i would like to receive the return value in a Design Studio javascript variable and continue with remaining Lawson logic. Any ideas how this can be done. Thank you in advance.. -Sreeni

Hi When a user clicks a button, it is supposed to trigger a Java program by means of a http call with GET method. URL looks like this: http://externalSever/javaPgmqueryString Above call returns a string. I would like to process the return value in design studio javascript code. Any help is appreciated.  Thanks - Sreeni

I have a Portal Page with vendor invoices as Data0 and Payments as Data1. One of the fields in Data1 is CBT-REC-STATUS. 1.  I want to show the values that are related to the numbers in the table field--not the numbers. I'm relatively new to Design Studio, so maybe I'm making it difficult. I looked at XML and it looks like any conditional handling would require DTD or XSLT so that's out. Is there a Javascript solution, and if so, could someone show me an example 2. How do I get security set on...

Is it possible to create a user interface page alongside the delivered page  I wouldnt mark it the default page but I would use a shortcut to call the new page.  I tried using 'LAWPAGE|FILE=something.xml' and 'LAWFORM|PDL=PROD|TKN=something' I know how to create a page from scratch using Portal Page Designer and give access by shortcuts but I wondered if the User Interface Designer was also possible  Thanks.

Our Finance team asked us to add two total fields onto AP26. They want to see total dollars and invoice count, when an Inquiry is done on the form. I added the fields onto the form no problem. I also then added the JS script to loop thru all the lines on the form and display the total dollars and invoice count. The only issue I ran into is when they hit the page up or page down buttons. My JS only  displays the totals for the actual data displayed and does NOT count the invoices not disp...

Hi,   I am attempting to build a hybrid Design Studio and Process Flow solution for MA43 but I have run in to some difficulties. The request that I received is that when the Change button is used that I need to evaluate each line item to determine if the user has increased the value of the Invoice field. If so, a PF is to run that among other things sends an email to the buyer listing what happened and who made the change. I have built a DS page that initially builds an array of what the value...

We did some Javascript on AM190 to do an Alert message warning the user of the period they're closing (and if they don't want to do it, don't Submit the Job). It works fine in development. We moved it to Production and the Alert doesn't pop up. If I test it in Production (admin rights), it tells me in lower left 'Security Violation'. If I have a user try it they don't get either; they don't get the Alert message or the Security Violation message. We have LAUA security on version 8.0.3 environmen...

I'm trying to understand how this works. (never did an IDA object before on a Portal Page). I created a new portal page. Added an IDA object. Changed the drill mode = select. Built the API for HR01.1. Selected the Drill Around Path = Process Level (H03). Added my company in the Drill Key. When I run it, it seems to work ok. It displays a list of all my Process Levels. It has the Find Options on the left side where I can find and filter. etc. The first record has a little 'right poi...

I am attempting to use Design Studio to do a custom HR11 and am running into an error when I attempt to access the new form using lawform or if I attempt to reopen the form in Design Studio.  I can preview the page in Design Studio and it will work perfectly that way.  I have started from a fresh HR11 and saved it with no changes at all and it still comes up with this error.  'Invalid XML - Root node does not exist'  I have tried quite a few other form such as BN32, AP10 and etc and they all wor...

I am trying to show all the jobcodes and start dates for an employee. I am getting only the first one. When I try to fill out data from the second record, or more, the form doesn't fill out and I get an error:  '2' is null or not an object.  Any suggestions I think this has to do with using code designed to process one record and trying to process many. function FORM_OnAfterTransaction(data) {  //was transaction successful  if (formState.agsError) return;    var vCompany=lawFo...

I have a Portal Page with a Data Query. I want to check to see if the query was successful. If not, then I would change the keys and refresh again. The problem is the event 'OnLoadComplete' is not executed if there are 'No records found'. Does anyone know if or how you can do this

I'm trying to run a query in the background when my form opens up and pass that value to a form later.  Here is what i have so far but I cant seem to acquire any data that the query would return.  getElements by name hasnt worked for me yet.  Can anyone help  function portalpage_OnInit() { var vProd = portalWnd.oUserProfile.getAttribute('productline'); var vPlan = '' var vEmp = portalWnd.oUserProfile.getAttribute('employee'); var vDmeString = 'PROD=' vProd '&FILE=EMTATRAN...

Need help on this one. In 803 I was able to change, delete, or add fields in a tab region. Now that we are in LSF9 I can only add fields(text) in the form itself. Documentation is no help at all. This will be my first attempt on Design Studio since our conversion. Any help is highly appreciated. Sam

We are new to Design Studio.  Can you tell me how to create a field to hold a total  I cannot locate any documentation for this.   Also,  I am trying to take three user fields and display them on one line.  Is there a way to put multiple records on one line  Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

This will be my fourth year attending CUE. While I think the conference fees are a little steep, I keep going back primarily not because of the sessions, but because of the interaction between other users. Because of that, and because there doesn't seem to be many sessions for advanced Design Studio, I thought it would be a good idea to try and get together some of the 'power users' on this forum to try and get together at CUE. Anyone interested in getting together on Tuesday from 11:00 - 1:00...
