I'm trying to change a field's default property in SNOW. Here in incidents we've a field Assigned to and it accepts some default values. But instead of that I want it to accept any values (Integer, String, Special characters etc). In my SNOW Form lay out tried the below.
Created a new String field, Named it as Assigned to Label and name as assigned_to and saved it and it ended up as shown below.
and when I added some random text in this field, it gave me the below error.
please let me know on how can I change this field to accept any string as Input.
Thanks
You are referencing the sys_user table on the form field Assigned to. You need to provide the value for the Assigned to field the sys_id from the User record.
Providing it with any text will result in an invalid reference since it is looking for the unique sys_id on the user table.

I created a parameter [GroupID] that is used to query several datasets in my SSRS report. It is using the field [GroupID] from my GroupList_Rolling12 dataset. An example of [GroupID] is 77610N. When 77610N is selected, all of my datasets are correctly 'filtering' for this [GroupID].
I now need to create a text box that returns the [GroupName] of [GroupID]. In other words, when 77610N is selected from my GroupID parameter, I want the [GroupName] that is associated with the selected GroupID parameter to display.
I'm still very new to SSRS and cannot figure this out. I tried creating the expression =First(Fields!GroupName.Value, "GroupList_Rolling12") but that did not work since it simply returns the first value from the query.
I also tried =First(Parameters!GroupID.Value(0)) but this also did not work
I also tried this expression =Lookup(Fields!GroupID.Value, Fields!GroupID.Value, Fields!GroupName.Value, "GroupList_Rolling12")
)
Can you please help?
You can reference the parameter label directly like this
=Parameters!GroupID.Label
There is no need to put the index on the end (=Parameters!GroupID.Label(0)) unless your parameter is multi-value, in which case it would select the first selected entry.
I am trying to put in a variable a value that the user has to introduce from a popup.
I have seen the function POPUP_GET_VALUES can be the adiente, but in the parameters that the function requires I see that there is a table to put the value into a field. As it is a unique value, I would like to put it within a single variable previously defined, in order to also be able to establish limits for the user to enter the value, since it has to be a percentage.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
You can use FM POPUP_TO_GET_ONE_VALUE and specify texts you want. But you should then check the format of input. For POPUP_GET_VALUES you need a table and field to reference, it will check the format for you.
I have a custom page type with two fields, StateName and StateCode. I would like it so that when a value is selected in either of these fields, the other field’s value changes to match.
So for example, if I select “Alabama” in the StateName field, the value of the StateCode field would automatically change to “AL.” Or if I select “CO” in the StateCode field, the StateName field would automatically change to “Colorado,” etc. Is this possible?
(I have to keep these as two separate fields, because I need to display either the state name or the state code on the front-end depending on context. Therefore, I can’t use a single field with options like AL;Alabama because then the field only returns the value AL and I have no way of getting the display name Alabama).
I know Kentico has options for setting “dependent” fields, but that only appears to determine visibility – e.g. only display Field B if I select a particular value in Field A. I can’t find a way to actually change the selected value in one field based on the selected value in another field.
Two control solution seems some kind of an overkill here. You can use StateInfoProvider to get what you want.
StateInfo state = StateInfoProvider.GetStateInfo("Alabama")
The other way would be to use a simple drop down control and use
query like that :
select stateCode + '|'+ StateDisplayName, StateDisplayName from cms_State
to get get code and display name as value separated by |
I am using a calculated field in a form (Data Type = Single Line of Text), however I would like to make this field editable for a specific users having "System Administrator" roles.
I tried using the field security profile to make this field editable (so that System Admin can update or create records here) however update/create options are disabled here in security profile and cannot be altered.
Is there an appropriate way to achieve this? Can we make a calculated field editable for specific set of roles?
No, you cannot directly edit the value of a calculated field.
A work-around would be to create a separate field, where only specific users can enter data. In your calculated field you could then add a condition to take either the manually entered value from the other field (if it exists) and otherwise use the original action for the calculated field.
The calculated field is calculated in SQL when you retrieve it, but is not stored in field.
So, for a calculated field there IS NOT a place to store a value. This makes it impossible to have the same field be calculated in some cases and manual in other cases.
You would need to have two fields the calculated fields and an override field. In the calculated field you set a condition that if the override field contains data the action is to set the calculated field equal to the override field. The else has an action to calculate the field as your normally.
Here is an example where I created a field testca(`new_testca') that will if the Account Number is populated use that value and if not its value will be some text I entered, "NEED ACCOUNT NUMBER".
I am trying to add an expression in header section, which would display parameter value chosen by users (if everything selected, display "ALL" instead). I am having trouble with "Property" parameter.
Report structure:
Report is a matrix report that shows data by year and grouped by refBuildingID. Parameter "Property" is based on RefBuildingID. I want to show these parameter values in header when users run this report.
Expression:
=IIF(Countrows("BuildingID")=(Parameters!refBuildingID.Count),"All",Join(Parameters!refBuildingID.Value,", "))
Error:
The Value expression for the text box ‘Textbox31’ has a scope parameter that is not valid for an aggregate function. The scope parameter must be set to a string constant that is equal to either the name of a containing group, the name of a containing data region, or the name of a dataset.
Is there a way to get around this error?
Try this method:
=IIF(Count("BuildingID")=Count(Parameters!refBuildingID.Value),"All",Join(Parameters!refBuildingID.Value,", "))
i think CountRows will work
=IIF(COUNTROWS("BuildingID").Equals(Parameters!refBuildingID.Count),"ALL",Join(Parameters!refBuildingID.Value,", "))
