deleteedit1268Add an Active/Inactive Field<h2>Creating an Active (y/n) Field on an Existing Table</h2>
You may want to mark certain fields inactive. For example, you may have clients that you no longer work with.

Go to the Clients table > click the Table Management sub-menu, or go to table management, find your table in the list and click edit. Add a column called "Active" and make the datatype a yes/no. Click "Add Column". (See [Adding Columns]).

<img class="border" src="attachments/developer.qrimp.com-8d08eab0-68a2-4801-902c-caf536017d54/activeyesno.png" />

Use the [Form Designer] to arrange the new field.

Update your clients and mark them Active yes or no. [Grid Edit] makes this faster.

deleteedit1272Marking a User Inactive (Not Enabled)If you want to not let someone use your system anymore, but you want to keep the historical data associated with them, you can mark them inactive. This can be more convenient than [deleting a user] because a) you get to keep all of their data and b) you don't have to reassign all of their data.

Do make a user inactive go to Admin > Manage Users. Then click the users name.

Change the radio button enabled to 'no'.

<h2>Paste the url into the template</h2>
You will have to paste the link you copied into this HTML code. Then you have to format it to make it a link.

The HTML in your textbox looks similar to this:

Paste the link into the HTML "db.aspx?t=ClientsActivityLog&orderby=1&orderby=1&OwningRecordID=1".

<img class="border" src="/attachments/developer.qrimp.com-3fa675b6-10c8-4a14-9e1a-fc1e2a500720/thelinkwithanchortag.png"/>

<img class="border" src="/attachments/developer.qrimp.com-08c23893-0cb1-4ab5-b9c9-5321f4d37da8/thelinkwithsquarebrackets.png"/>

Then wrap the link with an "a" tag. Put the following text around your link:<textarea><a href="db.aspx?t=ClientsActivityLog&orderby=1&orderby=1&OwningRecordID=1287"></a></textarea>.

<span class="small">Type carefully! Every symbol is needed!</span>

<h2>Step 4: Add the icon</h2>
Put the image icon between the a tags. You can copy the img tag from below:

deleteedit1288Copy a RecordIf you are entering new records that have very similar data to existing records, you can start from a copy of an existing record.

To copy a record, first go to the [edit view] of that record.

Click the "Copy" button at the bottom of the record. You will be taking to the [detail view] of your new record, and will need to click the edit icon again to enter the new data.

Be careful here and proceed slowly to make sure that you enter new data in the copied record, and do not overwrite the original record. Look at the [location bar] of your browser and check that the record has a higher id number than the original. (See [AutomaticIDs]).

deleteedit1289Hiding columns with CSSYou can hide columns for a view of a record or table using CSS.

Go to Develop > Header/Footer. In the header field, add the following style to hide the id, createid, and createdate fields. CSS is not supposed to be case sensitive, but just in case of browser bugs, make sure your div names are identical to the div in the HTML.

<input type=text size=100 value="<style>#iddiv,#createdatediv,#createiddiv{display:none}</style>">

Notice that each field name is followed by the word div. So to hide another field named StartDate, you'd use this:

<input type=text size=100 value="<style>#StartDatediv{display:none}</style>">

To do the same for Grid/Table views use this style definition in the header:
<input type=text size=100 value="<style>.id,.createdate,.createid{display:none}</style>">		Headers and Footers

deleteedit1295Separate name and address fields (From WebOffice)If you are coming to Qrimp from WebOffice, this applies to you.

If you used the "name" or "address" datatypes when you built your WebOffice, the WebOffice back-up tool concatenates your separate name and address fields into one field. For example, if you had FirstName, MiddleName, LastName they would all be merged into one Name field.

If you want to re-separate the fields, follow the steps below. Note that there are two ways to pull the data into your app.

<h2>Step 1 for both options: Create Separate Fields</h2>

In your Qrimp app, <a href="db.aspx?t=HelpTopics&id=19&vid=11">Add columns</a> for FirstName, MiddleName, LastName or Address1, Address2, City, State, ZIP, to the affected database table.

You now have to choices about how to get the separated data into those fields:

<h2>Option 1: Fast Qrimp Update Statement and Manual Review of Fields</h2>
Let your Qrimp rep know when you have separated your fields. A Qrimp support person will run a big update statement that will update all your records with the broken out data at no additional charge. You will need to review the data that is created, as it may have some problems which will need to be fixed manually. This option requires less work but doesn't give perfect results. Some of your data may not split properly depending on punctuation, spelling and symbols in the fields.

<h2>Option 2: WebOffice Custom View and Thorough Qrimp Update Statement</h2>
Create a custom view in your WebOffice that breaks the Name/Address fields out, then a Qrimp rep updates your app. Qrimp charges at our [Hourly Rate] for this service. Each table will take about 2 hours. This is more thorough than Option 1. It requires more work on your part, but gives the best results possible. This solution can be problematic if WebOffice does not provide a UniqueID field. A UniqueID field is only provided in some cases.


<h3>Steps to Complete Option 2</h3>
Go to your WebOffice. Create a custom view that breaks the NAME and ADDRESS fields out into individual columns for each portion of the name and address. <strong>This view must include the UniqueID of the record in the view</strong>.

Export your data to a .csv file, then <a href="db.aspx?t=helptopics&id=62&vid=11">import it</a> into your Qrimp app as a new table. Name the new table "ClientMap".

Let your Qrimp rep know when you are finished with this and they will run an update query that updates all the records with what WebOffice exports in that custom view.

Note: If WebOffice doesn't provide the UniqueID, then we have to find some other field(s) to use as a unique identifier to update the records and that's not always possible depending on the data.		Configuring Imported Tables
