Apply a template of Visible Columns/Column Order/Sort

2014-07-22 Thread Jay Rohrer
I was wondering if anyone has tried to use the AR System User Preference form 
to apply a set template of Visible Columns/Column Order/Sort Order when a user 
selects said template from a menu.

Lets say that we have a console with a table field of tickets.  The agent has 
two roles which requires different columns to be shown and/or in a different 
order with a different sort.  Sure they can remove columns, add columns, change 
the order of columns and the sort but to do this several times a day gets old.  
I want to have a menu of available templates for them to chose, do a set fields 
to the three fields on the User Preference form and then do a refresh of the 
form to apply the change.

Has anyone tried anything similar?

Thanks,
Jay

List Menu Functionality

2014-03-21 Thread Jay Rohrer
In the WUT if you have an expanded List menu, you can type ahead to get to a 
specific section of values.
As an example: If you type a g, you go to the first value that starts with 
g.  If you type great, you go to the first value that starts with great.

In the MT (ver 7.6.04 sp5) on either FF or IE, this only appears to work for a 
single character.

I looked in the MT/WUT differences document but didn't see this mentioned. I 
searched the KB and communities but not knowing what to call this functionality 
I didn't get any meaningful results.

Has this always been the case in MT?  Did the Auto-Complete functionality 
deprecate this in MT?  Or is this a bug?



Thanks,
Jay

Re: Regarding Multiple Selection in a Table

Sriram,
You will have to create an AL loop of the selected rows in order to build your 
qualification for the second table.

Hi Joe,

The First Table has different Groups. Based on the selection I need to modify 
the external query and display the entries in the second table.

For single entry selection it works fine but for Multiple entry selection I 
need to append the external query and refresh the second table.

Thank you,
Sriram.

Sriram,
 
I think you are on the wrong track.
 
$ROWSELECTED$ is the value set on the client
when a user clicks on a particular row. It doesn’t make sense using it in
a table field query condition.
 
What exactly are you trying to return in
Table 2 when a selection or selections are made on Table 1?? Give that a
thought and then you need to build that qualification for Table 2 according to
that.

Hi All,
 
We have a custom workflow where based on selection of entries from a
table the external query in another table changes and populates the records
accordingly.
 
Condition Used: ($ROWSELECTED$ = 2) OR ($ROWSELECTED$
= 1) in a Active Link Guide
 
Single selection is working fine but multiple selection is not working
as expected.
 
Please help with possible solutions.
 
Thank you,

1=1, 1=2

2013-10-15 Thread Jay Rohrer
Back in the day a Push qualification worked better if you did a 1=2 or 1=1 (or 
similar).  After a version or so the guidance was that doing this caused (or 
could) performance issues.

Does anyone remember what version this was fixed in?  Or does anyone have a 
white paper or other documentation surrounding this issue?

I looked in the KB and Communities but didn't see anything I liked.

Thanks,

Re: Colorado Springs, CO

2012-10-23 Thread Jay Rohrer
Yea, temp gigs are a totally different animal.  Residence Inn in COS is about 
$90/nt, less in Winter than Summer.  Flights to COS are also a bit more expense 
because you can only get here from most/not all hubs.  From N-NJ, kinda 
screwed, but it isn't too bad to fly to Denver and drive down.
 
 
I had a gig in NYC, the flight is so long I only came back every other weekend 
and stretched it a bit on the return to get almost 3 days.

Cost of living really depends a lot on what you end up having to do when you 
pick up that engagement and how long or short term it is..

*** Scenario 1 (which is the only one I have opted for so far)
I like to be back home in New Jersey every weekend as I really did not know 
anyone in CO.. I worked on contracts ranging from 3 to 6 months.. This can be a 
little expensive compared to other mid western states, as Denver happens to be 
a place of touristic interests, which is why I think its not cheap to fly there 
even if you make airline reservations well in advance.. Its always at an 
average of about 100 to 150 bucks more than the same distance to most other 
places that are not in high demand to travel to.. Hotels depending on how close 
you are to Downtown Denver, may or may not be expensive. I have stayed at 
corporate rates for as low as 119 a night to a high of near 200 a night - book 
these in advance too as corporate rates tend to get sold out pretty quick - you 
could always cancel if you do not need it later at no fee..

Dining out is fairly cheap compared to many places.. I used to buy a decent 
Sushi / Sashimi dinner combo for less than 25 dollars which was quite a deal at 
one of the most popular Sushi places in Denver. Or you can go fine dining to 
that game food restaurant by the mountains and pay over 50 bucks a head.. So 
its no more expensive than most other places in America depending on what you 
choose to do.. Your average weekly cost in this scenario could go anywhere 
between 1300 to 1900 depending on the time of the year. During the skiing 
season, is when I have reimbursed close to 1900 a week for my weeks stay which 
included Airlines, Hotels, Rental Car and Per Diem..

*** Scenario 2 (which I have never opted for because of its personal 
inconvenience to me)
You temporarily relocate to Denver for the length of your engagement.. You 
could rent a nice Condo or Townhouse not too far from Downtown (20 minutes 
drive) at half the cost in rent as what you might rent its equivalent in New 
Jersey or New York.. Yes I am talking about 1000 a month for a condo and maybe 
under 1500 for a decent townhouse, and some of them may even come with cleaning 
service for a marginally extra price.. In this scenario, if it’s a long term or 
a permanent offer, you could even consider buying and I believe real estate is 
inexpensive in many places in CO as compared to North Eastern states..

I agree with Rick.. I have been to CO and love it there, but the weather can be 
so unpredictable even in the month of April.. It can begin at 8:00 with 
sunshine and at 70 degrees F, and you could have 6 to 12 inches of snow by 6:00 
PM – this actually happened a couple of years ago when I was there, and then 
next morning by 9:00 there was no sign that it snowed.. But it’s a lot better 
earlier in the year when you know it will be cold most of the time, and a 
little later in the year where its hot almost all the time..

Factors:
1)  Colorado Springs is a beautiful place, but is kinda remote and not

2)  Spending the winter someplace cold might not appeal to some.
3)  Yes, the market is pretty strong.

Re: Interview Questions - Please help

Ram,
Are you the interviewer or the interviewee?  If you are the interviewer, I 
doubt you will be able to sufficiently 
evaluate a candidate just by knowing the answers.  My current manager has 
stopped doing any part of the technical interview because he realizes that his 
employees are better equipped.  If you are on the receiving end of these 
questions, memorizing the answers will not help you as I will find you out in 
about 5 minutes.  I recently had a candidate who knew the filter phasing a bit 
too well.  After a couple of more questions I realized that he had memorized 
every aspect of phasing, probably because it is such a common question.

We have also come up with a technical test where you sit in front of the tools 
and have to create a little application.  Those who know their stuff finish 
in less than 20 minutes and those that don't take a long time.  It is a great 
differentiator.  Again, after about 5 minutes of watching, we know your level 
of experience.

Either way, good luck, it doesn't hurt to know more about a subject.

Jay
