Take a look at the SEARCH_COUNT function in the User Guide

Would really like to see better TIME functions.

I do quite a few apps that require intense Time and Date manipulation.

We have a DATE_PART function but no TIME_PART function.

I would like to be able to do this type of thing....

MyBO.MyTimestamp=DATE_PART(SomeTimeStamp)+TIME_PART(SomeOtherTimeStamp)
or
TimeString = AS_TIME(TIME_PART(SomeTimeStamp)
or
TIME_PART_OF(MyTimeStamp)='22:35"

etc etc.

At the moment..... having to mess around with Hour and Minute strings is tedious and time consuming.
Cheers,
Mark

To get https://openiban.com/validate/NL36RABO0310308267 working within Aware:
In your BO that implements REST, add the following to the "Request HTTP Headers"

Accept */*
User-Agent Mozilla/5.0
Cache-Control no-cache
Host openiban.com
Connection keep-alive

I added all 5 and it worked, but I do not know which one actually fixed the issue.
Thanks, this works. I'm sure I did test some HTTP header params, but it must have been incorrect values in the params.

@vlad: The CHECK_IBAN function isn't that important anymore :)

Right Click Add From Categories [IMPLEMENTED]

Post by PointsWell »

Ability to right click on a category folder and add the relevant object type (e.g. BO, Process, Query) and have it prepopulate with that category.

Click Add From Categories

Yiou can just drag a BO, Process , Query to a Catagory now. That is certainly easier than it used to be.

It is but the pain is the hunt and search for the BO root when you are screens and screens down in the process section. Also I often either forget to put a category on and then have to drag or re-edit or worse I put it into the wrong folder when quickly adding from the drop down list (Contact and Contract are quite similar but quite different).

true dat!
I have a Punch In/Out Timecard system.

Aware uses the Timestamp datatype, even though I'm only asking the user for time (the date is Today).
I found I had to use this widget for the best end-user experience:

Problem is that when I INIT it to CURRENT_TIMESTAMP and the user only is only entering a Time portion (the date is not shown), when the user saves, the Date portion doesn't get POSTed back to aware:

Code: Select all

Got XML request <root><post_form_data_action object_name="TimeCard" object_id="-1159095502" object_version="1" form_name="PunchIN" form_context="create" screen_width="1686" screen_height="991" screen_orientation="landscape" >
<post_attribute_data attribute_name="TimeIn" >11.51 AM</post_attribute_data>
</post_form_data_action>
Only the Time comes in (even though its a TimeStamp field) making my TimeStamp's date be 1/1/1970, so I must manipulate that.
A perfect place for TIME_PART but no such luck.
Tedious is the right word - not the end of the world, but could have been easier.

Webhooks!

Calculoid support responded : The webhooks, for now, send the data in application/x-www-form-urlencoded content-type/format. Unfortunately, there is no other option.

It would be a nice add-on when Calculoid-forms could be used.
I asked Vlad to look also.. hope it helps...

Exposure of BSV elements as Read Only objects inside AwareIM

Low priority, nice to have if easy for Vlad to deploy....

For example AwareIM Queries could be visible in AwareIM as AIM_Query with attributes Name and Category which would enable the BSV to have a FIND Action like

Code: Select all

FIND AIM_Query WHERE AIM_Query.Category='Admin User'
This would enable dynamically managed control to access certain BSV functionality.

Could also be handy for controlling access to document templates via a AIM_Document object.

Ability to access BO name in processes would be useful too (I want to add the BO name to an unrelated BO and would prefer not to leave that to my typing accuracy).

Ability to Override Mandatory Fields

Post by PointsWell »

When you create a BO you can use NO RULES NO VALIDATION which allows you to create a blank BO that doesn't conform to the business rules attached to the BO. Which is very helpful.

However once you create that BO you can only add to the attribute you can then never set them to UNDEFINED. Which is fine except you can't delete a BO when you have a form open without tripping errors. I need an ability to delete a BO that is being displayed or the ability to completely anonymise the record to put into a garbage collection process.

Would be nice to include the name of the Object or Process the rules belong to.

Eg
Search
Object : Person Rule : sp_CreateAudit
Object : Workplace Rule : sp_CreateAudit
Process : Person_Delete Rule : sp_CreateAudit

Config Tool: Process XRef button

Post by Jaymer »

would be nice if a "Show References" button could be placed here.
If you are following a process trail by Ctrl-Click on a process in the Rules Editor, you don't know WHERE that process is exactly in your left tree... esp. if you've followed several processes.

So instead of having to scroll way up/down to find the process, having the Show References code startable by a button here would be helpful.

Yes, I asked for this in the Fall 2019 Wish List just 3 months ago:
This was from a Right-click "Find References" on a BO.
Currently, I can't find the correct process I'm looking for without double-clicking on each rule (which opens it) to see if thats the Process I need.
