Does anyone know if there a way in Design Studio to mimic the CntrlShiftK so that I can position to a certain spot on a DS form and clear all the fields to the end

Looking for the java syntax to add values to a list box on form init from the results of a DME query. This isn't a field from the form so can't simply attach that to the object. I just can't find my notes on how to add the text, phrase and values to the object.

I thought I had seen one time a way to change the field help using script, but alas I can not find it now. I would use a tooltip, but it's a selectbox which doesn't allow for that. Any suggestions

To disable entry fields in design studio we used to use lawForm.getFormElement('text1').disabled=true. However after our latest ESP upgrade (9.0.0.9), this no longer works.  After Lawson calls the OnAfterTransaction, it is somehow redrawing the screen & the text box is no longer being disabled. Has anyone encountered this  & does anyone have a work around to disable a text field Thanks, Shawn

When I key in a field and tab out, a rule populates some display only fields.  If I put a default value to the field, the rule does not kick off.  Is there a way to trigger the rule to populate the fields  The only other thing I can think of is to do a DME call to get the field and set the value of the form.

We have a request to put a button on a screen which would trigger a SOAP call.  Has anyone done this or have any suggestions

Hello all. I am new to Lawson Design Studio. I am trying to create a javascript that will change the labels on a form based on the item the user selects from a listbox. Here is what I have tried to do: function select1_onChange() {     if (lawForm.getFormValue('select1') == 'P')    {      lawForm.setFormValue('label14', 'Account Number');    }  if (lawForm.getFormValue('select1') == 'R')  {   lawForm.setFormValue('label14', 'City or Address 5');  } } This does not work. It do...

I need to create a New Form from scratch or from an existing form as a base. In either case, I want a new form without modifying an existing Lawson 'core' form or affecting users at all. Can I create a new form using Design Studio In Design Studio, I have to select an existing form either with the Quick Paint or the Blank Palette checked, and even that I can rename the Custom Id I am still concern that I am customizing an existing form which is completely different that creating a new form. M...

I have a portal page with a formlet and DME object.  When I inquire on the form I get the DME to refresh correctly.  The DME rows have checkboxes where the user can select 1 or multiple rows.  I want to gather information from the selected rows and pass values from the form to a processflow trigger.  To do this I put a button on the form but this is where I'm having problems.  The script tied to the button doesn't seem to find the DME object and errors on page. I put an alert just to see if it w...

In design studio, how can I use the lawformDoTransfer to send the user back to the index.htm page  Or any method to send the user back to the home page.

I know I could create 2 versions of a screen--one when the user is accessing it through Process Flow and one when the users is not accessing it through Process Flow.  I hate to have to maintain both screens.  Is there a way to determine whether the user got to the screen through Process Flow because we would like to hide/make visible some fields if entered this way

We have a custom text box in BL 31.3 we used them to store additional description values in the custom tables. Now we want to populate those values in the text boxes after DME call retrieved those values from the database by clicking on Inquiry. DME call fetches two rows, I need to populate a text box with these values in a textbox twice for line nbr 1 and line nbr 2. Below is the code, we are using function FORM_OnAfterTransaction(rowNum) { var vComp = lawForm.getFormValue('text1'); var ...

We have a DS form for RQ10. Some of the fields are either listboxes or text fields with drill. Is it possible to only allow the users to select from the items in the listbox or drill-around. We don't want the user to manually enter data in the fields. Is this possible So far I haven't found a way. For example: the 'Minor Class' field is a text field with drill-around. Can we make the field so the user can only select the options from the drill the Warranty field is a listbox; we want the u...

Is it possible to create a drop down file chooser in design studio.  I am looking for something like the html file input box.

I've got some java scripting to assist with pulling up images, and for one section, I need to strip out leading 0's that are on the screen to find the correct image. I found some great code on the web, but Lawson is screaming at the commented-out line where I declare the array. Is there a way to do this that Design Studio approves of Here's the code I have: function removeLeadingZeros(str) {  if (str == null)  {   return null;  } // char[] chars = str.toCharArray();  index = 0;  for ...

I'm not assigning my text object with a starting value. I have a script within the Portal Page that parses text out of an array and then am using that to try to update my text object but the text isn't displaying on the page. var txtObj=page.objects['text1'] txtObj.text='My new text' If I alert (txtObj.text) is comes back with 'My new text' but won't display on my page. I'm stuck on what to do (and Lawson was no help).

I am trying to get the AGS call below to delete a record from a file.  I have checked all the variables to make sure they are populated properly.  Is it because the form,,FE14, requires a inquire before the delete   I am getting message nbr =11 and message 'no more records for given key'.  Any suggestions   I am new to this and therefore I am Javascript challenged! var s = portalWnd.AGSPath '_PDL=';                   s = portalWnd.oUserProfile.getAttribute('productline');             ...

Much of the Javascripting references the field ID.  OnBlur uses the field ID as well as several others.  How do you make it easy to maintain since the field numbers can change with patches  Our thought was to put as much of our customizations in Javascripting because when customizing the COBOL, that normally gets the response that the customization is the issue.

I am able to use OnClickCheckBox and OnRowClick to trigger events but is there an Event to know the exact field a user clicked on the row if you are using OnRowClick

I am working on a Design Studio modification to a Work Flow inbasket. The Design Studio accesses the APINVOICE table and the APDISTRIB table. Currently, both DMEs are using the following fields to query the tables:company;vendor;invoice;suffix;cancel_seq. Since querying the APDISTRIB in this manner is inefficient, I would like to change this to retrieve the obj_id field from the APINVOICE table and use it to query the APDISTRIB table. My problem is I am new to Design Studio and am having difficu...

I understand there is only one Logan DB on the server we use, but we have 3 product lines on that server.  We get workunits in our inbaskets from all product lines when we are logged on to one product line.  I know we specify the product line in the .xml, but is there a way to specify the product line on each field we are populating to the Portal Page. How can we ensure we only get the workunits from the designated product line  Thank you for any light you can shed on this issue.

New to design studio; I think I need to start from scratch. Is there any to take a Portal Page .xml file and determine the steps the designer went through to create it.  I can understand the tables, and the fields, BUT how do you know how they created the access to the tables Thank you.

We are looking at options to install DS in PROD but securing it from the common Lawson users. To date we have only had it installed in DEV and move the forms to PROD updating the product line,etc as needed. Has anyone been successful in securing DS in a PROD environment

Before we upgraded to Lawson 9.0 i was able to do AGS call from my .net web application.

Also i'm getting an error on servlet/ags saying that the servlet is not found. If you need more info just let me know! Thanks, John
