Is there any way where we can see the list of items that have been checked out by a specific user.
Items checked from a project are recorded in the database as a place-holder revision with the next number in sequence. Generally they will appear in the user's pending list (inbox) and will show with state "$TO_BE_DEFINED". Arrange your desktop client views to show state, along with user names and dates (use Customise Views under Tools menu) and you can sort and filter columns to show information you need. You can even add User Filename to the views and you will see exactly where the file was checked out to.
The desktop client is very powerful but needs some customising as the out-of-box standard views are very limited.
With appropriately set privilges a user can inspect other users' inboxes. A team leader could set up some simple reports to show numbers of checked-out files against users.
There are so may ways to achive this - but I agree it is not obvious to a new user.
Menu, EDIT/FIND/ITEM
On Tab Option:
STATUS=$TO_BE_DEFINED
ORIGINATOR=?user?
Click on tab Find Now
I am still using dimension in 2019. Let me add relevant snapshots as well. I struggled with this let this answer be so no one has to struggle again.
On Web View
You can add a column Checked Out By and then use that column to arrange the files accordingly.
To add on Web View you can first go to your user preferences as shown below:
You can add the "check out" column by taking it from available columns as shown below:
You should now able to rearrange file in views by clicking on the check out column. The files will arrange first on ascending order of usernames and then by descending order.
On Desktop Client
My item list view looks something like the following which doesnt have a "Check out" column in the view.
One way to find out the files check out is using find item. You can find this in Edit -> Find -> Items. Looks something like this.
You can fill in the data as follows: Status as $TO_BE_DEFINED and User Name to the user you want to search for. .
On Clicking open you will get the results in the items(Find Results) window.
Hope the snapshots helps.

I am new to ServiceNow and working on setting up a form. In the form, I am asking the end user for other individuals within the organization that might be related to the project and what they are doing for the project. I want to do this with two fields side-by-side -- the one on the left referencing the users table and the one on the right as a text field they can fill in.
Because I do not know how many users they may want to add, I was hoping to set it up with a + or "Add More" option of sorts that would add more rows with that format. I'm looking for advice on best ways to accomplish something like that, if it is even possible.
I am making a custom visualisation for Spotfire and I would like to store some state so the next time my visualisation is opened it can look the same. It is likely to be a small string. Is there a recommended way of doing this?
Thanks in advance
Chris
You can use a bookmark to store the "state" of your current analysis. You can add as many of these as you want, and name them whatever you want, and make them available to other users too!
https://docs.tibco.com/pub/spotfire/7.0.1/doc/html/bm/bm_how_to_use_bookmarks.htm
EDIT
Also, if you go to Edit > Document Properties > Library (tab) and check the "Remember personalized view for each Web Player user" this will save the last state of the analytic for each user, so when you open it back up it will look the way it did when you left it.
I use a TOpenDialog component in Delphi XE7, because I want to select one or more files. However, after I select them and click OK, the selected files are stored already sorted alphabetically, from A to Z, in the Files property, thing which I do not want. I didn't see any switches or options neither in the TOpenDialog control, nor in the TStrings type.
How can I make this component store the selected files exactly in the order that I want to?
The underlying dialog box from the operating system doesn't keep track of that information (or if it does, it doesn't expose it in any way), and the wrapper class provided by Delphi doesn't synthesize it for you.
You can handle the OnSelectionChange event to deduce the selection order. Begin by creating your own ordered list to hold the selected files. When the event is triggered, inspect the dialog's Files property. Remove any entries from your internal list that aren't present in Files. For any items in Files that you don't already have, add them to the head of your list.
The system dialogs do not keep track of the order in which the items are selected. You have no way to get the system dialog to tell you that information. If you really need that then I see two options:
Write your own dialog that does keep track of order of selection.
Let the user specify order outside the file selection dialog.
I have a section that contains a subform ( containing 3 editable fields for the user ).
Then I have an embedded view categorized having two actions: Add and Trash.
What i want to do: After the user complete the 3 fields and then press Add, the first row in the embedded view will appear. ( This easy thing I did ). But then after the first click on Add, I want that all the 3 fields to be refreshed, all of them to have as their value: "".
After, if the user wants to add another row into the embedded view (with different values), in my case it is overwrited on the 1st row. I want to be separate rows in order.
I tried something with #Command(ViewRefreshFields) into the Add action code but I didn't make it to work. Please help, J. U.
Jazir, I'm guessing that you also go by the names "Florin G Mihalache", "Josh Mitchell" and "Yveniss Ltoreau", and I've been following the development of your application along with many other professional Notes developers.
I really think you need to go back to the very first basics, and work out the difference between forms, subforms, documents, views, embedded views, and other important components of Lotus Notes databases.
I strongly suspect that for a couple of weeks you have been trying to use a form to create other documents, via a subform, to be displayed in an embedded view in that form, when what you should be using is just a view, and documents. Perhaps you might need to use pages, outlines and framesets. It is very important that you understand these basic concepts before confusing the people who have tried to help you, to whom you may have lied.
I have voted your question down, not just because you have shown a lack of research, but because you appear to keep switching ID when people lose patience with you. I will undo that vote if I become convinced that you are not Florin.
The documents displayed in an embedded view are controlled by the view's selection formula. You haven't shown that. You haven't shown your code in the Add button. You haven't shown what properties you have set on the embedded view -- e.g., show single category. So you're not giving us quite enough info to diagnose your problem and help you.
But in general, I think that if you want to control the order of insertion of individual documents into an embedded list, perhaps using an embedded folder would be a better idea than an embedded view.
I'm working on an InfoPath 2007 form. I have two drop-down lists and i need the second to be populated with items bases on the value chosen in the first list. I use c# to populate the drop-dpwn lists from external sources. I've tried to use the OnChange event to make all this, but the second list is still empty.
If anyone knows, please tell me.
You can filter the entries for the second drop-down list based on your first list (but only if the entries are based on a data source, not manually entered).
Bring up the properties window for
your second drop-down list.
Select your data source.
Click on the button to the right of the Entries text box.
Select the repeating node you wish to use for the basis of your list entry.
Click the Filter Data button. From here you can enter a filter to limit the entries displayed based on the value of your first drop-down list.
Your question was a bit ambiguous. You may be trying to populate a secondary data source based off of your first drop-down list. This should work fine with an OnChange event. Can you post the code you are using to do this?
Some additional tips that may help:
The change event will not fire until focus moves off of the list box. So, for the second drop down to populate, you will need to set the first drop-down then hit tab or click elsewhere in the form.
I don't know the size or nature of the data source you are using for the second drop-down list, but you may consider downloading the entire data source and filter it using the method I described above. This may be a better solution as you won't need to make a database query between entering the first list box and the second one.
