I have customized my New, View & edit forms by using the below URL
http://www.markrackley.net/2013/08/29/easy-custom-layouts-for-default-sharepoint-forms/
My form has 3 input fields as below
Reference number (Text Field)
Start Time (Date Time Field)
End Time (Date Time Field)
Default Form already has default Save & Cancel button
I want to add another button to display current system time in "Start Time" field & "End Time" field.
Also, one more button will duplicate item and save it as new entry instead of updating on the same ID.
It would be grateful for me if anyone could provide code in Vb or javascript.
To duplicate you can create worklfow in spd called copy list item or create list item. Then create workflow actions and add botton in the ribbon.
Start time can be done using calculated column. Set calculation =(NOW)
And use workflow to set item created time as the end time.

I'm using the page below a POS sales list. Here the user can use the barcode pistol and pass the article and the code is translated into the item no.
The problem is when they use the pistol and end to pick a item and want to pass to next one the line go automatically to the first column (Item type) and my goal was to force to go into the second column (Item no), because the Item type is by default the type "product".
Only change the order of columns of Item no to Item product is not enough in this case.
Since ACTIVATE is not supported for controls in RTC.
Not many good options here.
Try using QuickEntry Property. Set it to false for all controls on subpage except No..
Create custom page with as less fields as possible, use it as buffer to scan all items and create sales lines upon closing of this new page. You can implement desired behavior on this page and keep original page almost unmodified
Create add-in that will intercept scanner output somehow.
I have several tabs. There is a date picker on each tab. I need that date to be the same on all tabs no matter what. So, if the user changes the date on Tab 1, then goes to tab 2, the date on tab 2 will have changed also. I have never created an application level item before and I thought that might be the most efficient way to accomplish what I need (by setting that item's value to the date the user selected). My problem is that I don't know how to set the value of the application item and also how to retrieve that value on another tab.
You didn't describe what exactly you're trying to do, but - if each tab represents its own table, why do you keep the same date value in all of them? Doesn't look like a normalized data model. Consider using a single date column (in one - master - table) and use (i.e. reference) it in others (i.e. details).
As of your question: How about creating a global page (i.e. page 0) and having a date picker item on it? You can display it on any other page you want. For example, if you set its value while on tab 1 and then move on to tab 3, you can again modify that value which will be visible on all other pages. Basically, you'd maintain just one item instead of as many as number of tabs involved. (BTW, doesn't that remind you of what I described in the first paragraph?).
Alternatively, create a date picker item on tab 1 page; on all other pages, create a "lookup" (display) item which would simply display what's been selected on tab 1. That's easy to do, just make its source to be an "Item", such as P1_DATE_ITEM.
In Shared Components > Application Items create new Item called G_DATE.
Then for every datepicker add Dynamic Action on Event Change.
In True action Set Value select Type PL/SQL Expression with code
:G_DATE := :P1_DATEPICKER1;
and Items to Submit :P1_DATEPICKER1
Next in every datepicker Source set Type PL/SQL Expression with code
:G_DATE
used Always (...)

Need a help in understand underline logic here. I have created a simple APEX application. First page shows the table details and via a "Create" button "Interactive Search" region, directs to a form page. Now form page consists of "Save" and "Insert" buttons in correct regions. So whole app works. When I press "Create" from 1st page to 2nd, "Save" button is invisible and when I click the edit icon on the table of 1st page, "Create" button is invisible in 2nd. App works accordingly, but could not figure out what setting enable this set-up even though I was able to make it work.
1st Page : Interactive Report Page. 2nd Page : DML Form. Built the app from blank pages.
Could any of you explain how it works?
When you click the Create button on the Interactive Report page, it takes you to the Form page in insert mode, i.e. it allows you to enter a new row into the table. Therefore, the Form page has the Create (and the Cancel) button.
On the other hand, when you click the Edit button on the Interactive Report, it takes you to the same Form page, but this time in edit mode which enables you to modify values (and save those changes with the Apply Changes / Save button), delete that row using the Delete button, or - as previously Cancel current operation.
If you look at Form page's buttons' properties, you'll see that they have Server-side Conditions set which are then used to render (or not) a certain button. For example, if the Form page number is 13 and the primary key column is set to the ID column, then these conditions look like this:
Create: P13_ID IS NULL (i.e. the primary key column value doesn't exist yet, which means that this is a brand new row)
Apply Chanages / Save: P13_ID IS NOT NULL (i.e. the primary key column value exists, which means that row you see was fetched from the database)
Delete: P13_ID IS NOT NULL (the same condition as for the Apply Chanages / Save button)
Cancel: it is always displayed.
I am fairly new to InfoPath and trying to create a form now that will link to the SharePoint list. Where I am stuck is that a lot of the steps online show you how to vlookup two fields (where one is a dropdown and another text box)But I need 2 fields to be a textbox field and connect them based on the sharepoint...so one text box field will automatically fill out info based on another Text box field..
So I have 2 infoPath fields:
a)Consumable Part number -> as a textbox - here user can manually enter the partnumber (I cant use dropdown here because we have circa 600 entries here!). All entries are stored in the sharepoint list in the Consumable Part Number column
b)Consumable Description -> as a textbox - here the field fills in automatically as soon as user enters the correct partnumber that indeed is available on this sharepoint list and each partnumber is linked to its unique Consumable Description. All entries are stored in the sharepoint list in the Consumable Part Number column
Is there anyway I could work around this please?
Thanks so much!
Add a data connection to the SharePoint List. Set the data connection to not run on form open - that is a checkbox in the last dialog box when you create the data connection.
On the text box where the user can enter a part number, add the following rules.
Rule condition - field bound to the text box for the user entered part number is not blank
Set a field's value - select the Part Number Query field from your SharePoint List data connection (be sure you pick the part number field in the "queryFields" folder)
Query for data - run the query to your SharePoint list
Set a field's value - set the field you want to have the description in to the returned data field Consumable Description in your SharePoint list data connection
Since you are querying based on the user entered part number, you should get back 0 or 1 item(s). You can add other rules to handle for the user entered number not being found (count of items returned in the SharePoint List data connection equals 0, you could display an error on the form, for example)
Edited to elaborate in light of additional comments:
The above technique sets a query field and returns items that match only that query field. If you have additional fields that dictate which list data should be returned, you'd set additional query fields.
If, instead, you need all items returned from the list and then you need to use XPath filters to determine which item you need from the list, you'd use the filter data button when picking the field that has the value you wish to use in your set value rule - from there you can add the various filters you need.
I'm afraid that I don't understand what you are attempting to achieve based on your comments.
I need to copy selected row values and store as a new record.
I am using Oracle Apex 4.2 and Tabular Form.
I need to use checkbox to select the rows and button copy. When i select multiple rows followed by click copy button to copy all the selected row values as new rows and save.
Can anyone Help
Copying Records Through an APEX Tabular Form Input
The idea of cloning existing records from a single table through an Oracle APEX Tabular Form works without much interference with the default design that you can set up through the APEX wizard for page region content.
Build a table with an independent primary key.
Suggested to include two auxiliary columns: COPY_REQUEST and COPIED_FROM for running copy operations. Specific form elements will map to these columns on the tabular form that will be set up.
Build an Oracle stored procedure that can read which records need to be copied. This procedure will be invoked each time the SUBMIT button is pressed.
(optional) Consider including a suppression of step (3) in the event that there is nothing to process (i.e., no records marked for copying).
The Working Table for Receiving Input: COPY_ME
TIP: You will have an easier time if you use the standard TABLE creation wizard. Designate CUSTOMER_ID as the PRIMARY_KEY and have APEX create its standard auto-incrementing functionality on top. (sequence plus trigger set up.)
Here's the sample data I used... though it doesn't matter. You can put in your own values and be able to verify what happened easily.
The Heavy Lifting: The Stored Procedure for Cloning Records in COPY_ME
This procedure works with 1 or more records at a time with a special identifier in the COPY_REQUEST table. After the task is done, the procedure cleans up and resets the request value again.
create or replace procedure proc_copy_me_request is
c_request_code CONSTANT char(1):= 'Y';
cursor copy_cursor is
SELECT cme.CUSTOMER_ID, cme.CUSTOMER_NAME, cme.CITY, cme.COUNTRY,
cme.COPY_REQUEST
FROM copy_me cme
WHERE cme.COPY_REQUEST = c_request_code
FOR UPDATE OF cme.COPY_REQUEST;
BEGIN
FOR i in copy_cursor LOOP
INSERT INTO copy_me (customer_name, city, country, copied_from)
VALUES (i.customer_name, i.city, i.country, i.customer_id);
UPDATE copy_me
SET copy_request = null
WHERE CURRENT OF copy_cursor;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END proc_copy_me_request;
There is also a column that can be hidden. It tracks where the record was originally copied from.
Note that the cursor is using the FOR UPDATE OF and WHERE CURRENT OF notation. This is important because the procedure is changing the records that are referenced by it.
APEX Page Setup Instructions
Set up a standard FORM type page and choose the TABULAR FORM style. Follow the set up instructions, taking care to map the correct primary key, and also to the PK sequence object created with the table in the previous steps above.
This is what your page set up will look like after these steps are completed:
EDIT The COPY_REQUEST Form Value:
Under the column attributes section, change the Display As option to "simple checkbox"
Under the list of values section, put a single value under the LOV Definition: Y (case sensitive in either way... just be consistent)
EDIT The COPIED_FROM Form Value:
Under the column attributes section, change the Display As option to "Display as Text(Saves State)". This is just to prevent users from stepping on this read-only field. You could also suppress it if it isn't important to know.
CREATE a New Process: Execute Copy Procedure
This is the bottom of the same configuration page, there are very few things to change or add:
Demonstration: Screenshot of COPY_ME Tabular Form Page in Action
The first screenshot below is before the page is tidied up and the checkbox control is put into place.
Plug in some test data and give it at try. The Page Process created in the step above conditionally invokes the stored procedure that processes all copy requests made at the same time when the SUBMIT form button is selected.
COMMENTS: If you spend enough time tinkering around with the built-in wizards in Oracle APEX, there are opportunities to learn new design patterns and process flows compatible within the tool. Adapting your approach can reduce the amount of additional work and frustration.
