I want to create a custom field that counts subrecords (not sure if I'm using that term properly). For example, I'd like to add a custom field to the Customer entity type that shows a count of messages (emails) associated with that Customer record.
My instinct is to say:
COUNT({messages})
But, it doesn't appear there is a COUNT() function in NetSuite SQL.
Anyone know how do do something like this?
I know this is an old post but this is doable in NetSuite using summary options. If creating the search in the UI you will see the second column in the Results tab is "Summary". Select "Count" for this value and it will count. I would recommend if you are doing this from the customer records to do Messages : InternalId (or as a formula value - {messages.internalid} ). You want to count by an internal id that is unique if you want to know the total number. If you count by say Messages : Subject, then any messages that share the same subject will be counted together. That doesn't sound like what you are looking for.
This is an alternate solution as formula may not be able to achieve this:
Add a custom field on customer to store the count.
Write an "after submit" user event script on message
if(message.getFieldValue('entity') !== null && message.getFieldValue('entitytype' === 'customer')){
//Do a saved search for message where entity equals the current entity
// search result count would point to number of messages for customer
// nlapiSubmitField() for your custom counter field
}

A little background on the report:
This is a productivity report for our employees working at our business. We determine their productivity based on the duration of the visits with clients. Some of our employees offer group sessions. They charge each client within the group, even though they are only giving, for example, one hour of service, they can bill for 10 hours if there are 10 people in the group. We determine what service they gave by service codes.
So, I have two fields in this formula, a service code field and a duration field.
The duration field is initially a STRING field from the database, even though it only gives number data, so I change it to a numberVar. The service code field is also a string field, and it sometimes does contain characters and numbers.
What I need Crystal Reports to do is take the sum of the duration. However, if the service code is, say, "1000", it must first divide the duration by 3 before summing it. This is where I get caught up.
Here's my code for the duration:
local numbervar num1;
If GroupName ({billing_tx_charge_detail.v_SERVICE_CODE})="1530" then
num1 := ToNumber({billing_tx_charge_detail.v_duration})/3
else num1 := ToNumber({billing_tx_charge_detail.v_duration})
Then I do a separate formula for the sum, named sumDuration:
Sum(#duration)
I get the error that this field cannot be summarized. After searching Google for two days I have found that Crystal cannot summarize fields or formulas involving constants. If I simply say:
local numbervar num1;
num1 := ToNumber({billing_tx_charge_detail.v_duration})
then I can summarize #duration. What am I missing? It has to be something simple, but I'm just not seeing it. Is there a way to create a custom function to accomplish what I am trying to get here? Or is it even simpler than that?
One person suggested creating a SQL command in order to do the calculations before the data gets to the report. I am a SQL newb so I had no idea where to even begin with that.
If you are grouping by Service Code and placing the above formula in the footer you will only be computing {billing_tx_charge_detail.v_duration} for the last record in the group. If you are intending to use the formula and sum the results and place the results in the Service Code footer try the following. (basically remove the reference to group name)
If {billing_tx_charge_detail.v_SERVICE_CODE}) = "1530" then
ToNumber({billing_tx_charge_detail.v_duration})/3 else
ToNumber({billing_tx_charge_detail.v_duration})
You can use variables (num1) if you want to but they are not needed.
You can still use the second formula you referred to and place in the group footer OR you can place the first formula in details section, right click and insert a summary to the group footer. You can also place in the report footer if you need it to total there as well.
I read about createCriteria, and kind of interested on how these works, and its usability in providing values for dropdown box.
So say, i have a table in the database, Resource table, where i have defined the table in the domain class called Resource.groovy. Resource table has a total of 10 columns, where 5 of it are
Material Id
Material description
Resource
Resource Id
Product Code
So using the createCriteria, and i can use just like a query to return the items that i want to
def resList = Resource.createCriteria().list {
and {
eq('resource', resourceInstance)
ne('materialId', '-')
}
}
Where in the above, i want to get the data that matches the resource = resourceInstance, and none of the materialId is equal to '-'.
I want to use the returned data from createCriteria above on my form, where i want to use some of the column on my select dropdown. Below is the code i used for my select dropdown.
<g:select id="resourceId" name="resourceId"
from="${resList}"
disabled="${actionName != 'show' ? false : true}" />
How do i make it so that in a dropdown, it only shows the values taken from column Product Code? I believe the list created using createCriteria returns all 10 columns based on the createCriteria's specification. But i only want to use the Product Column values on my dropdown.
How do i customize the data if in one of the select dropdown in my form, i wanted to show the values as "Resource Id - Resource Description"? The values are combination of more than 1 columns for one select dropdown but i don't know how to combine both in a single select dropdown.
I read that hql and GORM query are better ways of fetching data from table than using createCriteria. Is this true?
Thanks
First of all refer to the document for using select in Grails. To answer all questions:
Yes, the list to select from in the dropdown can be customized. In this case it should be something like from="${resList*.productCode}"
Yes, this can be customized as well with something like
from="${resList.collect { \"${it.resourceId} - ${it.resourceDesc}\" } }"
It depends. If there are associations involved in a domain then using Criteria will lead to eager fetches which might not be required. But with HQL one gets the flexibility of tailoring the query as needed. With latest version of Grails those boundries are minimized a lot. Usage of DetachedCriteria, where queries etc are recommended whereever possible. So it is kind of mixing and matching to the scenario under consideration.
Im building a system for my company to keep track of internal orders, inbetween our warehouses, we have material that goes out warehouse 1 to warehouse 2 and we kind of lose track of how much of "x" is in warehouse 1 and how much in warehouse 2, so i want to implement this access db where a user fills a form and says: order 1: 500 of "x" order 2: 300 of "y". then another user fills an exit form where he says 1 of "x" going out, so i would need the program to keep track of total order and how much as gone out to fill order 1 and so on...
My idea here is to have both an order number and an id number for each of "x" everytime someoneone assembles 1 "x" they fill the form and print a label directly from the access (i have this part working already) while keeping a record of when it was assembled, who verified and what was verified (it will work as a quality control also).
What i dont know is how to program the db so when it reaches 500 of "x", the id number for "x" starts again from 1
This is the one major issue with my program right now, i'm not experienced in access db's or vba, but im getting there with a tip and a trick from here and there, so, no need to be careful with the technical language, i will google it if i have to :p
EDIT:
The table structure goes as follows:
1 table as the main table where I record the check that is made for every product, where I include the model of the product, the said ID that I want to reset after a number of products checked, and a concatenated field that includes most of this information to generate a qr code.
Then there is a table for the Order Number, which is connected to a form to record each new order with a date/time field, the order number itself and the number of products. This number of products must then be called from the code that will count how many products have been checked to date and keep the order number field updated so we can keep track of the order.
Then there is another minor table just to get values for the form, the product models
Thank you for your answers ;)
See this MSDN Documentation
Unfortunately in Access, you cannot 'reset' an ID field, unless you move the records to a newly created table and use that table for every 500 records.
As for the user control and login form, I'm afraid those are separate questions that must be asked in a different thread.
To get you started:
You can set the RecordSource of a form to a table, and when users make entries, the data will be saved to the table. You can also use a form with controls (text boxes, comboboxes, etc.) and create a button that runs a query to insert these records into a table.
The login piece - you can encrypt the database with a password. That may/may not be sufficient.
I would suggest you change your schema, if possible. Something like the following:
Orders
OrderID (Autonumber)
ProductID (link to your Products table)
QuantityRequested
Deliverables
DeliverableID (Autonumber)
OrderID (link to your Orders table)
SequenceNumber: in the BeforeInsert event set this value equal to:
DCount("*", "Deliverables", "OrderID=" & Me.OrderID) + 1
I'm assuming that your form has a control named OrderID that is bound to the OrderID field of the Deliverables table.
The code uses the DCount() function to get the count of all the other deliverables that have already been created for this order. If this is the first deliverable, DCount() will return 0. It then adds 1 to this count to get the sequence number of the next deliverable.
If the new SequenceNumber is greater than the quantity requested, you could display a message saying that the order has been filled and cancel the creation of the Deliverable record.
This is just one approach and it is not a complete solution. I'm assuming that once assigned a sequence number a deliverable cannot be deleted. You might need to make allowances for deliverables that get lost or damaged. You could incorporate a status field to the Deliverable table to deal with this, but you would still need to make a decision about what to do with the SequenceNumber.
I am looking for a solution or to be told it simply is not possible/good practice.
I currently have a database whereby I can create new orders and select from a lookup table of products that I offer. This works great for the most part but i would also like to be able to add random miscellaneous items to the order. For instance one invoice may read "End of Tenancy Clean" and the listed product but then have also an entry for "2x Lightbulb" or something to that effect.
I have tried creating another lookup table for these items but the problem is i don't want to have to pre-define every conceivable item before I can make orders. I would much prefer to be able to simply type in the Item and price when it is needed.
Is there any database design or workaround that can achieve this? Any help is greatly appreciated. FYI I am using Lightswitch 2012 if that helps.
One option I've seen in the past is a record in your normal items table labeled something like "Additional Service", and the application code will recognize this item and also require you to enter or edit a description to print with the invoice.
In the ERP system which we have at work, there is a flag in the parts table which allows one to change the description of the part in orders; in other words, one lists the part number in the order and then changes the description. This one off description is stored in a special table (called NONSTANDARD) which basically has two fields - an id field and the description. There is a field in the 'orderlines' table which stores the id of the record in the special table. Normally the value of this field will be 0, which means that the normal description of the part be displayed, but if it's greater than 0, then the description is taken from the appropriate row in the nonstandard table.
You mean something like this?

(I tried posting this to the CFWheels Google Group (twice), but for some reason my message never appears. Is that list moderated?)
Here's my problem: I'm working on a social networking app in CF on Wheels, not too dissimilar from the one we're all familiar with in Chris Peters's awesome tutorials. In mine, though, I'm required to display the most recent status message in the user directory. I've got a User model with hasMany("statuses") and a Status model with belongsTo("user"). So here's the code I started with:
users = model("user").findAll(include="userprofile, statuses");
This of course returns one record for every status message in the statuses table. Massive overkill. So next I try:
users = model("user").findAll(include="userprofile, statuses", group="users.id");
Getting closer, but now we're getting the first status record for each user (the lowest status.id), when I want to select for the most recent status. I think in straight SQL I would use a subquery to reorder the statuses first, but that's not available to me in the Wheels ORM. So is there another clean way to achieve this, or will I have to drag a huge query result or object the statuses into my CFML and then filter them out while I loop?
You can grab the most recent status using a calculated property:
// models/User.cfc
function init() {
property(
name="mostRecentStatusMessage",
sql="SELECT message FROM statuses WHERE userid = users.id ORDER BY createdat DESC LIMIT 1,1"
);
}
Of course, the syntax of the SELECT statement will depend on your RDBMS, but that should get you started.
The downside is that you'll need to create a calculated property for each column that you need available in your query.
The other option is to create a method in your model and write custom SQL in <cfquery> tags. That way is perfectly valid as well.
I don't know your exact DB schema, but shouldn't your findAll() look more like something such as this:
statuses = model("status").findAll(include="userprofile(user)", where="userid = users.id");
That should get all statuses from a specific user...or is it that you need it for all users? I'm finding your question a little tricky to work out. What is it you're exactly trying to get returned?
