I have a requirement (replacing a system that has this) to have a filter perform the search after each character is typed. I.e. if I have a filter on 1st name, when I type B all names starting with B are selected, then when I type an R all starting with Br are selected... And, I am still waiting (patiently) for a Non-persistent LoggedInRegularUser that persists only during the session. For temp variables, etc. with NO need to read / write to the back end database.

For temp variables, etc. with NO need to read / write to the back end database.Bruce[/quote] Bruce, thats a perky & awesome request! I hope that gets stuck in. Over the years, several people have had issue with having to create fields in LIRU just to use for temp storage... a great use to pass a simple value to another process and in some cases, it might be a several-1000-byte field if you needed to hold a combo box list, or JSON string, etc. etc. All that data gets constantly transferred (unnecessarily) when aware does "Select * from RegularUser" tons of times behind the scenes. Having another BO like "SystemVars" (to go along with SystemSettings & RegularUser) where we can define fields and, since its NP, disappears when the session ends would be great.

Not in a rush, but i think the following would be nice. 1. An AwareIM licensing server so we can migrate our licenses without the need to manually request. Purely so that when its 1:00am on Saturday..we have a method. :) 2. Rehash on the licensing methods.. ie Developer but with the ability to run two config tools without the need and limitations of a single user license. 3. a method where we could hook/lock custom plugins (from developers) to AwareIM instances. IE: If i write some custom ubeat jar that 'does something special' , id like to be able to request from the customer a code... then they supply it to me and i compile that code into the jar to keep the plugin with that installation.

- Better mobile app features, options and especially for native app building. The current version for Aware is great as it can be customized for web (including accessing webapp on tablet/mobile) but when it comes to actually creating real, professional etc. native apps on IOS/Android, I think it´s limited. I have not dabled a lot with the current options though but think I know what can be done and is not enough for most scenarios I have. I am not entirely sure what can be done in terms of "native app builder" but some builder where we can in a visual way possibly create an entire native app (UI so entire app UI + logo + startup screen + colors etc. etc.) and where we can click and choose which native features the app should use e.g push notifications, camera, contacts, calendar, swiping, top device info bar integration, full screen option etc. etc. etc. etc. + better offline management + better security/login/profile e.g local on device saved credentials and profile so the user downloads and installs app and then configures it with credentials and the credentials is saved locally i.e the user then just opens the app and is already logged in etc.. + better online/offline detection/notification i.e when the user has no internet, a nice customisable notification is used and the app is closed of something like that + x, y and z. - - - -

Bruce[/quote] The vast majority of my LIRU needs would be removed by the ability to have VP Listener panels. At the moment a Panel can drive Output to another Panel. Which is fine as long as you only have one Panel driving one other Panel. In instances where you have multiple Panels that are driven by a master record you have to rely on Auto Refresh of Panels and either an ID attribute or an Object recorded in the LIRU. If Panels were able to listen to another panel (or auto refresh based on the contents of that master Panel changing and being able to capture the new object in that Panel). It's possible at the moment, but requires a lot of processes.

Is there a way to implement a push message to logged in users? Using the strategy developed in the example CRM application, I’m contacting the server every 30 seconds to update badges in my top menu. I don’t even have any users running in production, and if you look at the server output there’s a long line of indications of that process hitting the server. When 10 to 20 users are logged in, and you look at the server output window, it’s going to be a steady stream of lines getting posted to it as sessions are banging the server to see if they have an updated badge. While this was good years ago, and from a marketing perspective, it made the CRM app look cool, is there now not some better technology ( i.e. a push technology) to use instead of all the users constantly hammering the server? Note: in the grand scheme of things, this really may not be an issue. One query per user pulling up 20 items probably has more impact on the server than 20 users updating a badge count. But I would still think it makes sense to have a way to push a message to a user session built into aware. This includes one user process doing something that would send a message to another logged in user. Like when an incoming email comes in to a user, send a message to that session that an incoming email has arrived. It may not be that frequent. But in order to program for it, you would have to hit the server every minute of the day when 99% of the time there isn’t going to be a new email waiting.

I need a built-in way attached to a control, especially a combo box, to clear the value in that field. … Other than using the escape key. Or, an improvement to the “include empty text” option, which currently puts an undefined option at the bottom of the list. If this could be the word or something similar at the top, that would probably suffice.

Which features do you want in the next release?

Custom CSS seems to be proving more problematic especially when you trying to build mobile friendly, even when trying to utilise the Custom CSS that is available with the demos, forms do not line up, and it just seems as if a person has to just keep to basic text styling in for the Custom themes.

Hi

Based on my post below I would like to see better mobile apps support from AIM. Ionic (https://ionicframework.com/) is a really good and comprehensive platform that can be fully managed via CLI. They provide cross-platform apps with access to a lot of native features i.e. identity vault, biometric access, storage for offline apps, calendar etc. They do have the option to convert Cordova/PhoneGap apps to their framework through Capacitor (https://capacitor.ionicframework.com/).

If the work to add a new framework is not possible for the next release perhaps just support for another platform equal or better than PhoneGap Build i.e. Monaca.

Adobe PhoneGap Future / AwareIM Strategy / Apple April 2020

Thanks.

Is this able to be integrated with AwareIM?

PointsWell

Would like to see the WAS CHANGED TO options to include Defined and Undefined.

Using Undefined at the moment gives an error that value must be another BO.

Using Defined doesn’t give an error but I still need to test it.

Perhaps I haven’t thought this through enough or I’m missing the point with it but I find the following error message very unhelpful and unintuitive to the user when it is thrown:

“ Customer has been changed by another user. Please get the latest version of the data and try the operation again.”

The user then has to reload the form and try whichever operation it was again. Surely it would be better if that message was instead a question with a yes/no response and said:

“ Customer has been changed by another user. Would you like to get the latest version of the data and try the operation again?”

If the user clicks yes then the form is refreshed and the operation automatically called again. If the user clicks no then no worries!

Gabbitas

Would be great to have more control of placement of 'operations with records' on a grid.

For example I have the 'Create menu button for operations' selected to yes and this menu is displayed in a column to the right of a grid but I have operations to re-order the list defined and I would like to place these separately on the grid to left hand side. Or sometimes it would be nice to have an individual operation displayed in a column outside of the menu button while all others are grouped inside the menu button.

Thanks
