Kendo Bubble Chart Questions

I'm trying to incorporate the Kendo bubble chart into a form as a 2x2 matrix. Since the entire Kendo library is already installed, I figured it should be pretty straightforward. I referenced https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/bubble-charts/index. I'm starting simple with static data adapted from the...

Re: Kanban component - PITCH IN (No Drag & Drop planned)

Awesome! Couple questions:

I assume that panel header can be used to color-code the column backgrounds, right?

My attribute, Status, has a number of pre-Kanban list options (Draft, Submitted, Rejected) that I don't want seen. If the query filters on that attribute, will those columns not appear?

Re: Using the GET_CHANGES function

I wound up creating a BO_nameHistory BO for every BO where I wanted to capture changes as well as comments. That BO_nameHistory BO has the following attributes: Attribute (which is not a reserved word), Author, Value, WhenAuthored and a relationship attribute to the BO in question. I also have an at...

Re: Using the GET_CHANGES function

I eventually gave up on GET_CHANGES. It turned out to be too crude for my taste.

Re: Kanban fun

This is a feature that was taken away. I made a purchase decision based on this feature. It needs to come back ASAP!

Re: Calculate Columns & IFs

I've discovered that calculated columns has VERY limited functionality. It thinks ENTIRELY in terms of simple calculations (which is why you got that message). It's too bad because it could have solved a bunch of problems for me if it was more flexible.

Re: Kanban fun

Thanks Henrik, I had been questioning my memory on that. I distinctly remember looking for (and finding) that capability because I needed it to create a Kanban board. That's frustrating that Aware's prioritizes moving toward a more headless DIY platform rather than the RAD platform that they had bee...

Re: Issue in Query

The tricky part of self-referential operations relates to the context. I'm pretty sure the problem has to do with the manager's instance getting into the context along with the selected employee instances. The manager's is likely the first instance. What you want to do is get familiar with the prefi...

Hide column feature doesn't work for tree widget

I recently figured out how to add separators to columns in the tree widget by creating a fake attribute (see https://www.awareim.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=10502). This presents the need to hide a separator when the preceding attribute is empty as shown in the example. Fortunately, there is a fea...

Re: Use calculated columns as separators for trees?

WARNING: UGLY HACK AHEAD! Have your air sickness bags at the ready... I decided to create a fake plain text attribute in the SystemSettings BO called FauxSeparator with a character count of 1 and an initial value of |. It didn't work because you can't reference SystemSettings in either a calculated ...

Use calculated columns as separators for trees?

Ever since I started playing with the tree widget, I've been frustrated by the fact that there is no way to include a separator between attributes, making multiple attributes per level an unrealistic option. But then I noticed with the new dynamically calculated columns feature that there is an opti...

Re: Custom HTML forms for Aware IM 8.2 - need your opinion

The feature described here is a step towards the implementation of a "pixel perfect" editor. That step puts AIM onto a slippery slope of features and bug-fixes that means other priorities won't get addressed. Given the limitations, the shift away from RAD, the visual inconsistency between native/cu...

Re: Edit NP BO in process

As with CREATE, you can use WITH with ENTER NEW (try saying that 5 times fast):

ENTER NEW Prompt WITH Prompt.Date=CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,Prompt.UserID=LoggedInRegularUser,Prompt.Purpose='Test Non-Persistent BO Creation'

Re: Edit NP BO in process

Instead of CREATE/EDIT, why don't you use ENTER NEW? That's how I use NP BOs and it works fine.
