Well, it had to be done. So jump on in and lets keep Support busy! If you can, please make the name of your post "your wish list item" instead of "RE: The *OFFICIAL* yada yada". Will be easier for the Summary page.

1) ADD Alignment on Query Column Setup 2) Memory Variables

Since I posted this on the WishList 17 months ago... and I talked to Roger this week and he wanted almost the exact same thing, I'm reposting this from March 20, 2018: https://www.awareim.com/forum/d/10236 Default it to Left for Strings, Right for Numeric and I won't have to spend time beautifying my numeric columns by having to drill in and set the Header Styles. There are more properties, but you could still get to them by clicking the row, edit, header styles. Maybe a Ctrl-Click on the Alignment pulldown could popup the header Styles dialog directly (which saves you 1 click).

Should this not be in the wish list forum - it is now impossible to find anything in this board because it is a bundle of wishes, feature requests, tips and ideas and problem reports which have their own areas for posting.

I kinda like it here. I’m not moving it, but if a forum admin thinks it need to get less visibility over there and he/she can move it.

[quote="Jaymer"]I kinda like it here. I’m not moving it, but if a forum admin thinks it need to get less visibility over there and he/she can move it.[/quote] Well kinda contributes to the ever decreasing utility of the forum.

Would it really be that tough to have ONE MORE object in memory all the time? I'll concede that it will take up server memory on a per-user basis - so it might not be the best place to have several 50,000k JSON string fields, but adding 1-5k more per session could be planned for. In addition to LIRU & SystemSettings, which are always available, couldn't support easily add LoggedInSession and thats just 1 more BO that we can define like any other BO, and yet its always available for the duration of a login session. Don't we all constantly need to save some temporary value somewhere - we do this by adding fields to LIRU, which just kinda bloats that object. I'm fine with having to pre-declare any variables that I need (as opposed to making something up on the fly like a "true" memory variable would be), What say support?

Additionally, a basic tenet of web development is to be "stateless". In other words it's generally bad practice to store temporary values on the server to be used for subsequent server calls. However, that's already being broken by using LIRU at all. :)

well since you asked... :D [b]1. Badge on Left Menu:[/b] [list]On the Left Hand menu the ability to add a badge Works similar to badges in toolbars and form tabs So can be used for “News” counts, new lead Counts etc [/list] [b]2. Charts on forms:[/b] [list]Charts currently require a query Doesn’t work in all situations, eg we want to place a small, simple chart on a form Can do a Reference Attribute and records, but this is quite “heavy” when you just want a simple chart Currently we are using JavaScript charts to do this, it’s ok, but would prefer to keep all charts in Aware Idea is to have an Aware chart that isn’t a query, it just gets generated based on attributes on the BO For example, you can add say five attributes for the data points and the chart uses these for the data set Alternatively maybe you can have one plaintext field that holds an array of data used in the chart, and we have to define it in a certain way with a rule eg [dogs:3;cats:1;fish:4] This would be similar to how you add a Google Map to a form[/list] [b]3. Uploading and publishing new versions: (two new process rules)[/b] This was briefly discussed at Conference, publishing is such a big thing: - It needs to be done late at night when no users are online (or else you kick users out and get errors such as can’t publish due to active processes), this means someone has to stay up late at night - The risk of error is MASSIVE. Publishing the wrong bsv over the top of another is a catastrophIc error, we have done it by accident (more than once), and isn’t helped that it is 1am when we do it (tired etc) and you are doing 15 each night. - Its a manual “one at a time” process. We can publish 15 BSVs a night, so it takes a long time. Login to dev server, download BSV. Login to PROD server, upload and publish. How could this be improved? I think with two PROCESS RULES we could build a solution that would please everyone. We can develop a few processes/functions to automate this process. What we would need: An Aware process rule (function) to download the bsv and put it in a directory on the DEV server. Putting it on the dev server is really important, not on the machine where the remote config tool is. So a process like: EXPORT TEST BSV to ‘/directory/‘ and EXPORT CURRENT BSV to ‘/directory/‘ would be great. It would be good to be able to use tags here like EXPORT TEST BSV to ‘' We could then build a seperate Aware bsv (lets call it PublishManager) that grabs these .bsv files and does manager approval rules and then move the bsv file to a special directory on the right PROD server (we could do an EXECUTE PROGRAM to move it with a bash script and SFTP, it would be great to have an Aware process rule to SFTP a file but I have no idea if that is possible - nice to have only ) From there we can create an Aware process on the PROD server that we can schedule to look in the directory and if there is a BSV in the directory then publish it. Basically an Aware rule like PUBLISH ‘/dir/filename.bsv’. it would be good to be able to use tags here too like PUBLISH ‘‘ (could also it from a Document attribute if that is easier) This process would log the results in some table with a status or error message. Eg Publish failed, success etc. That way we could monitor it and build rules to SMS us if a publish failed. The ability to schedule the PUBLISH rule is really important. With servers in different timezones it needs to happen in the middle of the night. Also we can set it to be done right after our scheduled backup. And make it happen in a staggered way so 5 bsvs on the same server are not being published at the same time. These two rules would be very helpful, it removes human error and in our case would save probably 3-5 hours a week. We just queue them up, approve them during the day and it happens at night while we sleep.

[quote]1. Badge on Left Menu:[/quote] I am sure this was the original intention but ended up being very limited :( x 100 [quote]3. Uploading and publishing new versions: (two new process rules)[/quote] yes, please, this is critical x 1000

HTML canvas editor https://www.drawerjs.com/ Adding an extra editor with functionality to be able to draw diagrams, and highlight image sections would be a very nice and powerful feature. This would allow picture annotation, diagrams, layouts serving insurance claim applications, crime scene diagram, medical assessment discovery diagrams, etc etc . This application/feature has endless opportunities within in an AwareIM developer environment.

The OFFICIAL Fall 2019 WISH LIST is here !!!!!!!

Add functionality in the report writer to recognise.SVG images in the same way as it does with jpeg files when referred to them via a picture attribute.

WHY ?
This would allow the embedding of clear and non-pixelated images into a report such as an Excel Spreadsheet converted to a .SVG image. Also converting a PDF document to an SVG image and then embedding the document image into the report provides more dynamic and versatile report design setup, not to mention external charting applications

Also when inserting an image onto a form, using a .svg image as opposed to a jpeg, makes it resizable and crispy clear at all times. Being able to refer to this image in a report would really really be nice

1. The ability to automatically size query grid column widths OR to set a percentage instead of an actual column size value.

OMG!
I wonder how many people want this?
I've been saying this for at least 1.5 years (though maybe only saying it to myself).

When you design a "big" grid (ie. not just a 3-4 column grid in a child reference table inside a form) with 7-20 columns, you have "important" columns and less important columns.
The CustomerName column is kinda important, and if you make it a hardcoded 175px, then it never shrinks, wasting room when you resize window.
And if you don't specify a width, then its the same "default" width as an InvoiceAmt, for example.
I think its very important to give some "weight" to columns so it is remembered as you change screen size.
CustName 10%
InvDate 3%
InvAmt 3%
That way the Custname is always 3 times bigger than the Invoice fields.
It may start out being 300px wide, but will shrink always in proportion to other fields around it.

I dunno. This may not even be the right way to do it.
And maybe I'm doing Grids all wrong.
I just know if I don't specify a width, then its not usable (cause all columns are same width).
And if I specify ALL Widths then it doesn't look correct on smaller window.

Rather than hard coded colours, which is always a problem when the user changes the theme, Provide the option to use themes css eg .k-notification-info, .k-notification-error, .k-notification-series1 etc....

Today I noticed some large photos uploaded into a system. larger than usual.
Turns out these were from a user with a Ipad Pro, which takes 96dpi images.
Similar pics from a phone come in at 72dpi.

A RULE normally resizes incoming images - and these Ipad images HAD BEEN reduced by 1/3, like all other images.
But the 96dpi is making them larger.

IF, along with HEIGHT & WIDTH, that library offered DPI, then more intelligence can be added to reduce these images by 1/4, instead of the normal 1/3.

With cameras always improving, there might be something that surpasses the 96dpi out there... and most likely in the future. Having this extra piece of data can be beneficial. thanks

There is a limit to the number of characters in a process name. Unfortunately the Config Tool Name field does not tell you when you have too long a name. The only way to find out is when you run the process and it fails when the process name is too large to take into the running process table.

Please add either a x of y character counter or report error on save when the length is too long

Pointswell, increase the size for PROCNAME to varchar(200) for example on execution_contexts also LONGDATA change to a longblob

Thanks - that's handy to know and create a fix, I'll give that a bash. Initial request would still help new users.

It's possible to do it by javascript but it is a faff. Would like easier access to grouping settings generally via the Config Tool

Regarding this ticket: Anyone know how to do Field ToolTip NOT using Aware

Possibility to display/customize a tooltip with "html/css" & add any attribute from BO(by selecting like we select which columns to display) -> easy & awesome look.(https://freefrontend.com/css-tooltips/)

On the Scheduling grid, could we set a Logging Level, to reduce the amount of data when a Scheduled Task runs - it bloats the Server output window.

I don't need all this:

Kendo has a new Timeline... this would be a very useful UI enhancement in Aware:

https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/timeline/index

pretty please support, can we get this?

johntalbott

Yes the Kendo timeline is nice. There are several valuable new components and upgrades in the latest Kendo release. I hope to see this release incorporated into AIM soon even if these widgets are not directly configurable via the Config tool.

This would help me.
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.

Support for TEXT, MEDIUMTEXT, LONGTEXT data types at the database level.

I'm finding a need (maybe for the field that i'm in) that we need to store alot of textual data into the underlying DB. Support of textual data types would be helpful for data mining.

At conference there was some talk about a future upgrade having a method of storing documents/images on AWS S3...

We would use this in 8.3... in 2019, uploading of videos and large docs is just becoming more and more common
