RE: Evolve drop down

It's a little hard to follow the example, but if I'm understanding it correctly it sounds like you want to concatenate the basic and alternate values into a hidden repeating table and then feed that table into the price drop down. You would need to ensure a rule reloads the price drop down if table values ...

RE: Evolve 20.1 - Having rules in form run after 'Winshuttle Update' node has run

Right, rules on fields require the form to be opened. You should be able to promote the log field and then use the Set Column plugin node with $RegExpExtract to copy the portion you need to the other column. Might work with a value setter, but haven't tested. ------------------------------ Joshua ...

There is the BusinessCalendar configuration key, which is true by default. This causes assignment dates to ignore weekends and holidays. However, it may not affect email reminders. ------------------------------ Joshua Whitener | Technical Advisor Exxon Mobil Corporation | 8326258441 --------- ...

I'll let the Winshuttle peeps answer on whether there is ancillary documentation outside of help.winshuttle.com (I'm not aware of any).  Workflow Administration is not optional if you plan on using forms and workflow. The admin site is the only place to see svservice queue jobs and statuses, enable ...

I believe SharePoint task lists utilize the hidden SharePoint workflow history list and if that list exceeds the threshold, lists that rely on it will also fail. Normally, SharePoint has a timer job that performs auto-cleanup on those history lists removing items that are 60? days old. However, if you ...

RE: Winshuttle Composer - Easier way to see required fields

The class that indicates a required field on the lable is .frm_required. You could add a custom class to highlight the whole control and a function like this to call to add that highlighting. function setCustomRequiredStyling() ( var requiredFields = document.querySelectorAll(".frm_required"); for ...

RE: Winshuttle Composer Form - GLITCHES! - not preloading drop downs with external data

Wow, that's quite the stint. I'm at Hughes Landing. Interesting, we have our reference databases on the same server as SharePoint databases, but given that the data connection is agnostic to the location that's odd it affects the return. We have reference tables with hundreds of thousands of rows ...

Try placing a reload drop down rule on the view. It sounds like options for the drop down aren't saving or something in the engine is clearing them. It's generally not a memory or size issue, 8 MB for a Composer soltuion is tame, even for older machines with low memory. ------------------------------ ...

Maybe have two queries to the same data connection, each outputing to a separate table hidden on the view. Use the tables as the range for each drop down. Sort the table and reload the drop down optiosn to reflect that sort. ------------------------------ Joshua Whitener | Technical Advisor Exxon ...

Sigrid's answer is the best for SP lists. For SQL, we use an order statement in the Query control's Query field and in some cases if the data set retrieved from SP isn't too large, you can dump into a table hidden on the form, sort the table, then update the drop down values (with the drop down's ...

There are two ways of doing this: Use PowerShell's Export-SPWeb and Import-SPWeb with the include security flag. However, this is not recommended if you have forms deployed to the site as those will be transported (the entire site is copied) The less intrusive but little more manual way to ...

Hmm, even if that works, it circumvents the reason the version has a matching component. The idea behind xsn to form item version matching is this: I publish a solution, it is version 1 (512). This solution has a field that is an input for a transaction web service called Input A. I start 10 of ...

On your forms site there is a /Forms library. This library contains .xsn files that the forms use when loading. Major versioning should be enabled with no limit to the versions kept. Most often what happens with this error is that there is a limit on the major versions and the form is now trying to reference ...

I think there is a padding rule in the rule wizard that you can use for controlling additional pre-post spaces. Otherwise, you'd have to JavaScript. ------------------------------ Joshua Whitener | Technical Advisor Exxon Mobil Corporation | 8326258441 ------------------------------
