I want to make a checkbox in the form editor of Base to fill boolean values (in this case, "Male", and "Female") in my table.
I am currently stuck in the checkbox control window's "Data" tab because I do not know what to put in the fields "Reference value (on)" and "Reference value (off)".
I know that in the table design view that Base refers to the boolean TRUE/FALSE values as "Yes" and "No". Should I use Yes and No as reference values? Should I go TRUE and FALSE? Or 1 and 0? I can just assign arbitrary designations for male and female if I know what to put in the reference value.
Ok, I tested it by trial and error. One apparently has to use TRUE and FALSE as the reference values, otherwise, Base will not fill the boolean checkbox in the table even if you've filled it in the form.

I have created one master shape with many properties. In the "Define Shape Data" windows of the master shape (of the document stencil), one of the properties (masterProp) is a variable list (so with a list of allowed values).
Is it possible to re-use the list of values allowed for this property (masterProp) to define the format of another property of type variable list in another master shape so that the list of values has to be maintained only once ?
Maybee is there a way to set up "lists" in Visio and link the expected/allowed values (format field) of a property to this list (without using excel) ?
Thanks for your advises,
Is it possible to use the same property (masterProp) in another master
shape to inherit the same allowed values? Or is it possible to link
the values of another property of type fixed list in another master
shape to the values of this masterProp property ?
You mean mastershape in document stencil or in external stencil ?
You can refer to some cell of mastershape in document stencil
To reference a cell of
Use this syntax
Example
A master
Masters[MasterName]!SheetName!CellReference
Masters[Gear]!Shaft!Geometry1.X1
About Cell References
Well, Thanks to #Surrodate, this is the correct way of doing this:
Add a user-defined cell in the ShapeSheet of the document (or the page)
Open the master shape for editing
In the master shape, open the shapesheet of the master shape and go to the section of the Shape Data
In the Format column, refer to your user-defined cell. Begin typing with a "=" otherwise it takes your entry as text (even if it recognise your data ...). To refer to the document, begin with =TheDoc!User... if your data are in the page, begin with ThePage!User... Do not forget to set the type of data to 1 or 4 (in case of list).
Ok, I found the shapeSheet of the Page-1. I added a user-defined
section, then a cell named "User.Softwares". I set the value to
="Soft1;Soft2;Soft3". Correct for list ? Then in the field "Format" of the "Define Shape Data" windows in have written
"Page-1!User.Softwares". Is that the correct way to refer to the
page-1 ? When I click on the property of a shape, it proposes the text
"Page-1!User.Softwares" and not the value of the user-defined cell in
Page-1 ... What is the mistake ?
You must also change Type field ! If in this cell stores 0, it mean "String". if cell value is 1 it mean Fixed list.
You must write Page-1!User.Softwares, without quotation marks !
I'm noticing that editing a matter from the web interface and adding a checkbox custom field to the matter does not automatically set that checkbox to 'false.' Instead, unless you set the box to true, save it, and then re-edit it to uncheck that box, you cannot get a subsequent api call to return a 'false' value.
It strikes me that this ought to be corrected?
This is Matt G. from Clio's API support team.
You're correct that checkbox custom fields don't return a false value unless thy're actually toggled on and then off. Until some value is set, the checkbox field won't have any information stored in it and will return a null value.
We'll evaluate the functionality and look into updating how checkboxes work. In the meantime, if you want to get records of all Matters with an unchecked checkbox, you can look for Custom Field Values that are false and null.
In a worksheet, if I have a dimension as second dimension in a row label I can "collapse" that dimension with ATTR() by selecting Attribute in the menu:
However, this menu is only available on the worksheet view. How do I enable the user to accomplish this switch on the dashboard?
Create a boolean valued parameter, call it say Should Expand. You can choose readable aliases, such as "Expand" for True and "Collapse" for False.
Show your parameter control and customize the look as desired
Create a calculated, call it, say Collapsable Foo, where Foo should really be the name of your true second dimension. Define it as
if [Should Expand] then [Foo] end
Make sure Collasable Foo is a dimension and use it as desired, presumably in place of Foo. You can edit the aliases for Collapsable Foo to set Null to a single blank to improve the way text appears when collapsed.
I have an RDL with a table/textbox visibility set to:
=iif(Fields!question_caption.Value = "OBJECTIVE 1",false,true)
I am trying to make this textbox display the value named "narrative" only if the question_caption record = "OBJECTIVE 1". How can I do this? Currently this textbox displays nothing with the above logic. I have the narrative field stored in a Placeholder if that makes any difference.
Here is some sample data for you:
create table #dummy_data
(
question_caption varchar(max),
narrative varchar(max)
)
insert #dummy_data values('1st week dates','week 1'),('2nd week dates','week 2'),('3rd week dates','week 3'),('OBJECTIVE 1','obj 1'),
('5th week dates','week 5')
select * from #dummy_data
I don't see anything wrong with your visibility expression. However, in your question, you're discussing two separate things as one (i.e., visibility & displaying a value in a placeholder).
The hidden property will show an object (tablix, textbox, image, chart, container, etc) if the expression returns false and will hide an object when the expression returns true. When I say hide, I mean that it will remove the object from the grid and, if all is setup properly, the surrounding objects will be shifted to fill the now empty space of the hidden object.
To display (or not) a value is an entirely different thing. To show or hide a value, you would put the following expression in the value property of the placeholder:
=IIF(Fields!question_caption.Value = "OBJECTIVE 1",Fields!narrative.Value,"")
Notice that I've set it up such that if the desired value of the question_caption field is present, it will display the value of the narrative field. Otherwise, it will return an empty string. This will maintain the layout of the report but simply display the desired value or an empty string, based on some criteria.
As for the issues you're current experiencing, I'm not sure why that would be happening. I would first check that you don't have a typo in the Objective 1 hardcoded value in your expression.
If this doesn't help, please comment and let me know some more information about your problem and I'll do my best to help.
I want to show notification in my report like if the data table in my report holds the rows with yellow color then textfield the opaque property set to be true otherwise it should be false. somewhat like this...
txtfiled1 Shows UnPlanned Leaves
In above statement as I told u earlier that if my data table holds rows having yellow backcolor then the "txtfield1" 's opaque property must be set to true otherwise it must be false. How can I achieve this ? any help wolid be appreciable...
I don't know why it is causing me trouble with equals method in a condition, But using integer comparision with == operator give me what i wanted.
new Boolean($F{unplanned}.toString().equals("1")) fails me
new Boolean($F{unplanned}.intValue() == 1) give success
Just a quick guess:
$F{unplanned}.toString().trim().equals("1") == true
But as you're using toString() there, I suppose the source format of $F{unplanned} is integer anyways.
