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?

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
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).

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.

UnionSystems

When you perform a Alt+S "Search Rules"

The Results only show the names of the matching Rules.

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

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.

Would be good to have built in an additional Recurrence Pattern in Scheduling for hours/minutes

At the moment if you have a ps attribute you can either set it to be Combo box, Grid, other stuff, and Form.

Embedding forms like this is fine if you have already created the data. However if you are creating the data there are issues particularly where you have other relationships on that embedded form.

For example, you cannot do cascade filtering (eg If Field A = Company1 then Filter Field B to be employees of Company1)
If you have drop downs then the form resets prior fields when you change the drop down.

At the moment these are only any good for displaying data, which means that there is still a lot of work around that has to be done to capture all of the data in a single form.

This is an And

Be able to embed forms more than one level deep, eg

Top level form showing an embedded form which has embedded form elements on it.

I have a Certificate BO which has numerous dates associated with it. I use appointments for the dates so they are usable on a Calendar.

Eg Certificate has:
osDateIssued which is an owns single relationship to an Appointment BO called CertIssue
osDateExpires which is another owns single relationship to an Appointment BO called CertExpiry

The Appointment BOs have a field TempDate - this is a non mandatory field and the Start and End Times on the Appointment have been set to be non mandatory. This allows me to set them from the Temp Date.

The Appointment BOs have single forms that only show the TempDate (but with the relevant labels of Date Issued and Date Expires)

The Certificate BO now drives the Appointment BOs without any need for temp fields and finding BOs in the event that a date gets changed.

Now... The Certificates get applied to Contracts. I want to embed the Certificate into a Contract form, but because the dates are now once removed from the Certificate I am unable to see the date fields (I can use shortcuts but it makes the editing unweildy).

I would like to be able to embed the Certificate into the Contract form

Contract Contains Certificate Contains CertIssued

At the moment if you try to do this (even just for viewing) the CertIssued and CertExpired forms don't show.

Latest version of the KendoUI framework.
Current one is now 3 years old and 15 versions behind.

+1 for latest version of KendoUI Framework.

BLOMASKY

Ditto for new Kendo Features. Many new components, updates. That plus a non-persistent session BO would keep me smiling.

Please... Pretty Please... Whenever I add an attribute or make ANY change to a BO, all queries get REFORMATTED. This is not a problem with a FIND ALL BO, but some of my queries are a tad more complex and I write them with line breaks and formatted so I can understand what I am doing. After automatic reformatting they look like:

FIND Items WHERE (LoggedInRegularUser.dim1=0 OR LoggedInRegularUser.dim1=Items.dim1) AND 
(LoggedInRegularUser.dim2=0 OR LoggedInRegularUser.dim2=Items.dim2) AND 
(LoggedInRegularUser.itemSearch='' OR 
INDEX_OF(LoggedInRegularUser.itemSearch,Items.internalDescription)>0) AND
(LoggedInRegularUser.itemSearch2='' OR 
INDEX_OF(LoggedInRegularUser.itemSearch2,Items.internalDescription)>0) AND (LoggedInRegularUser.itemSearch3='' OR 
INDEX_OF(LoggedInRegularUser.itemSearch3,Items.internalDescription)>0) AND 
(LoggedInRegularUser.product='ALL' OR LoggedInRegularUser.product=Items.productCode) AND 
(LoggedInRegularUser.stockOnly='No' OR Items.UMAvailable>0 OR Items.UMOpenPO>0) AND 
(LoggedInRegularUser.pattern='ALL' OR LoggedInRegularUser.pattern=Items.patternCode) AND 
(LoggedInRegularUser.oldCode='%' OR INDEX_OF(LoggedInRegularUser.oldCode,Items.oldCode)=1) 
ORDER BY Items.dim1,Items.dim2,Items.internalDescription

I would dearly love this to be fixed.

More and more using the Textual View and it is so damn irritating to layout a complex rule so that it can be understood
only to have all that layout trashed every time some small thing has changed.

Please, Please, Please fix this Support.

tford

Agree 100% as well.

Please Fix Enter New to add an option to remove all the buttons at the bottom. Then it becomes much more usable. Because of those buttons, I do not even use it anymore.

Which buttons? Continue and Cancel? They must be there because the system is running a process, so the process can either continue or be cancelled. If you do not want a process use CREATE and VIEW

About re-formatting - we cannot fix it completely, but I think we can at least reduce the amount of times it occurs.

About webhooks. It seems to me that you can do it now using the Aware IM REST functionality and exposing services.

But maybe I am missing something here? If so, what am I missing?

Rennur

About webhooks. It seems to me that you can do it now using the Aware IM REST functionality and exposing services.

If I send a POST request containing a JSON payload to REST URL:

http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/REST/CRM/WEBHOOK?param1=12345

How does a service-implementing process in AwareIM:

FIND the BO with query string param1=12345 for CONTEXT
Store or read the JSON payload provided by the third-party. Pref create a non-persisted BO.
Store the request child BO with JSON payload stored in a attribute
System to identify JSON variables such as unique Ids in order to lookup and UPDATE existing or CREATE new records in Aware IM.

E.g. from https://webhook.site

Webhook site - Test process and transform HTTP requests.png

aware_support

1) URL parameters - the implementing process needs to take object as input with attribute names equal to parameter names. Values of parameters will be written into the object
2) JSON parsing - will happen automatically. Aware IM will create an object that matches the JSON structure.
Please watch the corresponding video tutorials

1) URL parameters - the implementing process needs to take object as input with attribute names equal to parameter names. Values of parameters will be written into the object

It works, I forgot to specify process input. Parameters are now written in the BO attribute.

2) JSON parsing - will happen automatically. Aware IM will create an object that matches the JSON structure.

Great, it works. The BO must have the attributes that match JSON.
Should be able to use this method to implement webhooks.

The only request is then to also store the whole JSON body in one attribute.

are you saying that INSTEAD of a radio button to 1)parse the result, or 2)store the result string, you want to do both?
Process the webhook as you just discovered that it works, AND ALSO save the entire JSON result?
