V4 - Form with 2 attributes in 1 column

pixerp

I am trying to define 2 attributes in the same column of a form, like :

Postcode - City: (Attribute_Code) (Attribute_City)

This was very easy to do in V.3 but I can't get it to display correctly in V.4 (build 1187), using the preview.

Can someone help ?

Thanks.

Support,

I guess you missed this one ...

Thanks for your reply.

Can you be more specific about what's happening "incorrectly".

pixerp

To reproduce the problem, I use the CRM sample app.

Customer, Form: Editing, Section: Personal details

Cell: First Name, click on Last Name to have both attributes displayed in the same cell.

Edit cell: First Name, Label: First / Last Name, width 100 pix
Edit cell: Last Name, Label: (blank), width 250 pix

This is now a Group box. Label to the left, width 110 pix

Expected result in the form:

First / Last Name: [firstname] [lastname]

But in fact, the last name is displayed far more to the right. I guess that the 110 pix of the LastName label is calculated in the middle.....

This was not the behaviour in V.3 and frankly, I can't do without it.[/img]

We'll have a look.

In version 4 to achieve this you have to use labels above controls for this multi-attribute cell - you place several attributes into one cell and then select the "labels above controls" option. You can then turn off the label for a particular control as well.

If your form is all Label to left having some labels above one row of attributes just doesn't look correct.

Name John Doe
Address 123 Main St
City State Zip New York NY 12345
Phone # 202-123-4567

ver your suggestions

Name John Doe
Address 123 Main St
CITY STATE ZIP
New York NY 12345
PHone # 202-123-4567

Any suggestions?

Suggestion is to re-arrange the form to use labels above everywhere or create another column with labels above

Support,

Thanks for your reply.

Are you going to correct the behaviour of Labels to the left in a coming release ?

It seems to only be "accepting the label of the 1st attribute when Labels to the left is defined", ie. the code can ignore the other labels.

But, I know ....

Support,

I would appreciate if you'd take position regarding the previous post.

Thanks a lot.

aware_support

We will implement it

pixerp

Thank you.

This functionality is available in build 1197

pixerp

After hours of testing with build 1199, I just can't get it right.

My form width is set to 500 px, 1 column.

If you configure 2 text attributes in one cell, you get a Group Box.

On that Group Box you define :

. width 420 px Anchor X : 20 px
. Label to the left, 90 px + Generate label only on 1st attrib.

AttribA : width = 50 px
AttribB : width = 300 px

In the BO, AttribA is 7 char. and AttribB is 40 char.

Obviously, the width of AttribA is NOT controlled by the configurator ?

Is it a bug ?

Thanks.

Try defining the settings, not on the group box, but on the attributes - set the width in pixels for the attributes. Ignore the group box settings.

pixerp

OK, so I tried with the following:

Form width 500px, 1 column

1st cell - Column settings: label left 90px
1 attribute, width 300px

2nd cell: Group: no settings but Label left 90px, +Generate 1st label only
1st attrib. width 50px
2nd attrib. width 300px

=> between 1st and 2nd attrib. there is ca. 100px space and the 2nd attr. is truncated.

Does it mean that the placeholder for the 2nd label is still calculated ?

aware_support

Yes, something is not right here, we'll investigate further.

aware_support

This should now be done properly in version 4.6 that has been released just now

pixerp

In build 1204, the 2nd attribute is not displayed at all.

For some reason one file didn't get it into the build. We'll fix it. In the meantime you can get around the problem by doing this:

There is a file called FieldOverride.js located in the AwareIM/Tomcat/webapps/AwareIM/aware_ext/field directory
Open this file and copy all its contents in the clipboard
Open the file aware.js located in the AwareIM/Tomcat/webapps/AwareIM/aware_ext directory. Paste the contents of the FieldOverride.js at the end of this file
Refresh your browser

This should fix the problem.
