Prompt default value in Microstrategy Mobile - microstrategy

I have a simple mobile document in Microstrategy Mobile, running on IPhone, containing a table of values and a drop-down selector that filters those values.
Is there any way to set the default value of the drop-down selector? If yes, is there any way I can set it dynamically(say based on some user-related attribute)?
Thanks!

This is the most common question asked . This issue has been fixed in v9.4 .You can decide what should be the initial value .
Thanks !

A selector isn't the same as a prompt. If it was a prompt, you could set the default value in the prompt definition when editing or creating the prompt.
If you want a default value for a selector, it's slightly different. Execute the document in Web, and set the selector value you want. Then just save the document. The next time it's executed in Web or Mobile, it should just have the saved value.

Grafana dashboard custom variable as a json object

We are using grafana to visualize our metrics and very glad to use it.
For one dashboard I need to create custom variable to show host name. For example, we have the first variable: host with query collectd.localhost.ping.ping-* and regexp /ping-(.*)/. It returns a list of hosts that we ping. Now I want to add showing title depends on selected host. I think need to add another custom variable title like map host1:Title1;host2:Title2 and in the panel's title write something like Proxy ${title:json}.${host} in result get Proxy TitleN.
How to do it? We use 7.2.1 grafana version.
Thank you!
I'm not sure if this is a great answer, but given it's been nearly two years without any answer, I'll proffer it. Having just commented how I was surprised no one had in fact answered, I kept poking around. Eventually I found that if added a variable interactively, and then I clicked dashboard settings followed by JSON Model I got to a description that included new data in the templating field. I pasted that into my original JSON description of the dashboard, and restarted Grafana --- the change persisted.

Attribute customization in RTC eclipse UI

I am customizing work item in RTC.
When work item is created in summary attribute, there is a condition that work item shall be saved when summary contains minimum three words e.g "this is summary".
Is it possible to do with eclipse UI customization, without need to create plug in.
I think that the best way will be using regular expression validator.

Prompting for a different data source in Crystal Reports 10

G'day!
I'm using a command to bring up information from our main pay database. This part of the report is working just fine.
I'd like to be able to prompt the user to specify their datasource location using a parameter field, in case they'd like to be able to use one of their pay test databases. Kind of like prompting for a date, but being able to connect to a different database.
Is there a way to do this? I'd thought maybe creating a {?source} parameter field in the command, and beginning the command with USE {?source}, but it doesn't really feel right, or like it would work as I'm basically trying to change the current connection through code.
Thanks for your time!
This is possible but the moment when the report is started will be too late to set the datasource.
You can create some logic in your app to get the desired datasource and when the user starts the report you will set it

FileMaker layouts have missing elements. What could be the cause?

I've recently started using filemaker to create some contact databases. I played around with one of the templates and after having tweaked the template to a point where its got all the data I need on it, I've found that I messed some things up in the process.
All the things listed below seem to have been affected.
'View Contact List Report' no longer works
'View Address Labels' no longer works
(Both show a prompt saying "no matching records were found")
the avery label printer doesn't show anything more than the name of each record.
(NB: All of these were working fine with the standard untouched template)
I'm guessing that because I altered the names of the fields, their corresponding scripts, calculations are no longer valid..
Where do I go to fix these scripts/calculations/etc (i.e. replace old field names with new ones..) is there any way I can edit the current ones or have a shot myself in the foot?
It sounds like you deleted some fields. If you simply renamed fields then the scripts should still work, unless you changed the data around drastically (perhaps the script is doing a find on a field that should contain some specific type which is no longer set in the field...) Go to layout mode, find out what script the button is calling and then open the script and re-set any set field steps that are calling missing fields and you should be good to go.
FileMaker doesn't normally rely on names, so users are free to rename everything. It's possible to write code that does depend on names, but it must be an explicit decision and I'm not really sure they did this in templates.
But who knows; to check this figure out which scripts run these reports. To do this switch to the layout mode and double click the buttons (or right-click and select "Button" from the context menu). Open scripts, find the script there, and see if it does anything suspicious.

Stop form from open when no records

I have a data entry form that when it closes opens another form for further updating the just newly entered data. However, at times no further update is necessary. How can I suppress the 2nd form from opening when there is no need for further update? Presently the form opens even when there are no recordsets present. (need a similar Event like for the report "On No Data")
Have a bit field such as a checkbox with default set to true open second form. Uncheck it to avoid the system from opening the next form. You will need to handle this in your code and check if that check box is checked or not.
Of course we will need more details such as why you are currently opening this second form...in addition, cant you check if any changes were made and if they were then open that second form else dont? Also what lang ?
Without knowing more about what you're working on, I'd say you would have to modify the process that shuts down the first form to check if the second form is needed. In .NET, for example, you could add code to the OnClosing event for a WinForm to check. If it's needed, open it as normal, if not then don't.
Subject: Tool Kits. Tool Kits consist of 1 or more tools. If tools already exist, no need for 2nd form to pop up. If tools are new, I need to fill in one of the 3 fields in the drop down listing. I like the idea of adding code to the OnClosing event, but do not understand what you mean by WinForm.
