DS Custom Hr11 Screen

You should simply be able to double click the Text object in the left properties pane (in Design) and select the mapping to your 4th user field. Depending upon where the User Fields are displayed, you may have to go into the Object and then to the correct Tab. You can also add a Label and reposition both the label and text fields.

Thanks David - already tried that. Doesn't seem to be a place or method to expand it to 4 rows using the Properties dialog. (Screenshot attached). And even in the 'Data' tab of the Properties of the Detail Area, there doesn't seem to be a way to add a 4th row.

I see - there should be an option to increase the detail area to 4 lines. Click on that section and go into properties or custom and you should see the option to increase to 4. You'll have to review the other fields to figure out how to get the details below to refresh depending upon the line you're on.

Already tried that, the option to increase it to 4 actual lines (as opposed to increase the size of the line/object area to 4) is greyed out. The screenshot is attached on the previous post in this thread.

As a last resort, you can go to the Source and change the height. In the example below, height=12 indicates 12 rows

detail col="2" hdrsize="1" height="12" id="detail1" nbr="DT0" par="TF0-1" row

In your case changing height=3 to 4 may give you the 4th row.

Yes I already tried that. But really changing it to 4 rows is meaningless since how does it know which specific User Field to put in the 4th row.

 

I assume it will display the first 3 or 4 lines from the HR11 user fields tab.

What I've found out is that we had to completely add a new custom version of the HR11 using DS 10.0.7 as we're on 10.0.7 LSF.

I did that, and still the HR User Field that we want does not show up. We tried IOS Cache Refresh, recompiling the HR11, xscrgen, etc. It doesn't matter what size the detail are on the custom screen is or how many rows it has, the HR User Field doesn't display, even using page down, page up, etc.

The HR User Field we want is active and it is showing on the HR11 User Field tab,.

I have a WebEx with support coming up so we'll see.

 

I was able to figure this out. 

On any custom version of HR11.1 with DS, you can have only one single detail area on the screen, regardless of any amount of tabs.

So the HR User Field detail area I was able to expand to 5 rows through manually changing it in the Properties of the detail of the height of the detail area, and in the Script of the .xml. You can't change it in the Properties of the detail area itself since the # of rows is greyed out and can't be edited there. 

Also of course you can page up and down within the detail area to see all of your user fields. I don't think there is a way to specifically limit your detail area to just a few specific HR User Fields only.

To get 4 or 5 specific HR User Fields to display on the first page of the custom screen, a trick you can do is to put a space ' ' as the very first character of your HR User Field name. That way any fields with a space at the beginning will display on the first page, since the HR User Field list is displayed by alphabetic order.
