I'm still trying to figure out how to get the value from a select IDA call. Here is the function this is executed when they click a button at the top: //********************************************************************************* // If the user clicked the lookup employee  button //********************************************************************************* function btn_LookEmp() {  idaCall = '/servlet/ida_STY=&_TYP=SL&_OUT=XML&_PDL=LAWAPP8&_SYS=HR&_KNB=H07&_FN=EMPLOYEE&_IN=EM...

We've modified form PO20 in design studio to add a function (Request Approval) which would trigger a Process Flow.  Ideally, I would like  to limited the design studio form to a select group of users.  The others would continue to use the Lawson delivered PO20.  In other words, they would not see the new function.

I want to use the OnAfterDrillSelect function and use the keysNode value returned to the form. I can't figure out how to make my script read and do something with the value before the return keysNode puts the value into the field. Has anyone got this to work

Friends, Hey. I am still new in Lawson getting my feet wet and have a question. I want to open up custom screen xml files in Design Studio but seem to get ActiveX errors when I do so. So I went through and found the attached issue on the myLawson knowledge base to resolve (Article ID:86038). So I adjusted accordingly and now can get the Local Files to let me choose a location, but when I choose an XML file, the file does not load into the Design Studio. I am lost here, what is happening

Hi Everyone, I have created a custom form using the CASE tool with two key fields - company and employee. The company is always 0001 and I can get the employee from the user profile: var vEmployee = portalWnd.oUserProfile.getAttribute('employee') I am setting up this form so that when a user logs into the form, the company and the user's employee number are pre-populated in the key fields. I have made these fields output-only, so the user cannot perform an inquiry or update any other...

Hi everyone, I am not having much luck with creating an AGS URL (query) to change the cycle and/or the bill fields in BR42 on a specific activity. Has anyone done things like this with BR42 before I've made other AGS calls but nothing with multiple lines like BR42 and wanted to how if there is a trick. Thanks in advance. -Trever Kresge

Is there anyway to disable a DME query result from being 'actionable' In other words,when a user clicks on a row in the first DME object, a second DME object is rendered; however, we would like for the second DME object to be static (i.e. non-clickable).

I want to update a single field in HR11 from within a users ESS session. I have the Product line, Company and Employee values for the EMPSET1 key and am able to read the record with a DME call but the AGS call to update the record is not working. I'm checking the status but don't get any value. Could anyone priovide a working example of an AGS call to update a single field including the status check Is there any Lawson supplied documentation on this other than the DS users guide Thanks!

LawsonGuru's, I am looking as some coding and came across the following line: var currentUSERCMP=portalWnd.oUserProfile.getAttribute('company'); I think it pulls from some user profile obect, but exactly what does it pull for The line that has: var currentPDL=portalWnd.oUserProfile.getAttribute('productline'); Returns the product line I am currently in but the 'company' returns me empty. Where is this value being pulled from and how can it be populated are my questions. Thanks in advance...

I'm currently migrating forms & pages from 8.1 to 9.01 and ran into an issue I don't understand.  I have a Portal page with a DME call that passes variables from the DME to a custom form (attached formlet) and forces a refresh,  In 8.1 this is working without issue but in 9.01 the form acts like no variables were passed before the refresh.  I went as far as rebuilding the entire thing in 9.01 but with no success.  Note:  I've verified the DME values with alerts so I know I'm receiving the co...

We need to remove the line FC field from our form. How can you do that

I am trying to use java to do this. I cannot find a variable that is unique enough to say it is a submit. The message on all transactions is submit The fc code is not set for a button. I know my ags call works but I only want it to happen when they submit the job. Any suggestions, Amy

I'm currently working on a variant of the requisition approval process with a focus on service requests.  So far everyhting is working as designed but I've hit a road block on how to request and send documents through the approval process.  Specifically is their a way through Design Studio to proved a file browsing option with the ability to save the file to a designated path  Our goal is to allow any user the ability to submit a service request and have all relevent files stored in ImageNow.  ...

I have a hidden text box on a Lawson form.  I am trying to replace it with a text Area to allow greater input.  The database field has plenty of room. I was hoping by simply adding the text Area and changing the XML source to the data field for the original text box, I could 'fool' Lawson into handling the text area as the orignal text box. Has anyone accomplished this  Or must I do a DME & AGS call to tie to the text Area... regardless

A customed online program is written with 3 different forms.  There is a button on the first form to press to go to the 2nd form which has the detail lines.  My JavaScript is preventing all the data to be displayed on the 2nd form including the data on the detatil lines.  I'd like to get this script running when I am on the 2nd form (how do you check to see that you're on the right form).  I would like to Change/Delete the detail line when the account is the one we wanted to be, otherwise dis...

I have a custom database field in a Lawson table that holds 256 chars.  I am trying to use an AGS call to save data to the database field from a text area.   The screen field defintion in the .scr TRANS section is 99 chars. I am trying to see if there is a way to save directly to the database field. I am trying to avoid a work around of having additional hidden screen fields that must be concatenated on the save and parsed on the inquiry.

Is there a way to freeze the field headings of a Query when a user scrolls down. They'd rather not have to page next and previous to see all of their records but when you scroll down you loose the headers.

We did some work some time ago via sql querying comments for an invoice using the following query: SELECT top 3 api.COMPANY ,ISNULL(apd.DIS_ACCOUNT,'') ,ISNULL(apd.DIS_ACCT_UNIT,'') ,ISNULL(apd.DIS_SUB_ACCT,'') ,ISNULL(apv.VENDOR_VNAME,'') -----AS VENDORNAME ,api.INVOICE_DTE -----AS INV_DATE ,api.INVOICE ,api.TRAN_INV_AMT ----AS AMOUNT ,api.DESCRIPTION ,api.BATCH_NUM ----AS Batch ,api.VENDOR ,api.L_INDEX ,ISNULL(lhap.NAME,'') ----AS FIRSTCOMMENT ,ISNULL(lhap.[OBJECT],'') ----AS...

Has anyone been able to make POST method call with the Lawson API instead of the GET method I've been looking at the documentation but haven't figured it out yet. Does it require an XML file as input If so, where do I find out how to setup the schema of the XML file. Also, are there any advantages/disadvantages for using either GET or POST methods Thank you in advance, Vinh

I need to move the field cash code (API-CAS-Code) which comes form cb00.3 on the AP20.2 from the Options tab4 to the Main tab1 but I don't see this field as a selection option on the main tab. thanks kate

I'm new to Design Studio, so these questions may sound simple but I don't get it.  Our problem: Our tech folks did a trace while a user was accessing inbasket data in Portal.  The trace shows all the sql statements used in the process.  When I open the .xml in Design Studio we only see a generic select statement in the Source, we do not see all the sql.  How do we see it so we can change it  We want to select an index rather than letting it default to an index Another question, is the Script...

I'm transferring from GM11.1 to GM11.3 and need to capture the Employee value which isn't displayed on GM11.3 but is used to limit what's displayed.

Has anybody successfully added javascript functions to the UI Designer section of Design Studio  I could use onkeypress for PA31 to asterick the SSN as it's entered, but it's not a selection.  I've found where it could possibly be added in designer.xml and dom.xml, but I'm not sure if that's the real answer. Any ideas

We have modified RQ45.1(Reportable Income Adjustment) form by adding a checkbox in the detail section of the form in hopes of being able to 'check-off' vendor invoices that have been reviewed for 1099 reporting. Each AP invoice record shows the check box and is actionable but is there anyway to associate the check box to the invoice Unfortunately the checkbox data source fields that available for associating is very limited and does not contain the invoice field. Can this be done using the UI p...
