I am working on extending the information we need in our Change Request form. I ran the AddColumns command specifying 1 string column. When I checked the WTChangeRequest2 table, there were 5 added columns, but only 1 was named. The name is: ptc_str_1TYPEINFOWTCHANGEREQUEST2. My questions with the Oracle portion of adding an attribute are:
1) Can this column name be renamed into something practical or doesn't it really matter?
2) Can the other 4 columns be utilized or does the AddColumns command utilize these 4 columns if I need to add more?
Now of the Type Attribute issues. I went in and added a new attribute and that shows up fine in the list of attributes. I defined a series of statements that we will use to select from. The added information is for the disposition of existing material. I want it to be radio boxes so the author can check one or more of the 7 disposition statements. I would also like an 'Other' radio box with a comment field for the Other reason, if needed. When I process a new change request, all I get is a comment box for the disposition, not the radio buttons are even a drop down list, which I tried first. Questions are:
1) How do I get the Change Request form to display the disposition(s) with radio buttons so one or more may be selected?
2) How do I get a comments field if the Other disposition type is selected? The comments field can be there anyway, if needed to be.
3) How do I adjust the placement of the disposition field in the Change Request form? It comes in at the very bottom by default.
Not sure that is all, but it will get me started towards finishing this change.
