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?

A better "crossreference" view where we can see all intelligent BO channels etc. configured for a BSV, which type and under which BO so we don´t have to open each BO up and look etc..

Here is my wish list for the next release:

1 - Do not store license key inside Database.
2 - B.O : setting "Null" property attribute and "Unique" property attribute
3 : Forms and Querys : manage conditional visibilty and conditionnal attribute input access, attribute colors and font properties
4 : Undo functionnality in Form designer
5 : Possibility to redefine BO property attribute inside form designer (Required,Initial value, choice values, Min/Max valeur, format)
6 : add toolbars with "favorites shorcuts" to navigate directly to an object (BO, process, query, VP, ect...) whitout keep it open as Tab.
7 : Control Panel : Define multiple Database Drivers connexion. i.e : define different application using different Database on the same AIM server.

PointsWell

If you are using a tab to build a complex BO (I.e. one that relies on multiple sub BOs and needs the use of pseudo forms built with layouts) then you don't have a mechanism to easily handle the user abandoning the BO by closing the tab.

The tab can grab a BO into context when it is given focus but you can't do anything when the tab is blurred (ie the opposite of focus).

It would also be good to have focus and blur for other fields and to use these common terms in the Config Tool

Colors, fonts, format can be done now using presentation rules

I could be wrong, (am often!), but I THINK what he is asking for, is to be able to have more granularity in the presentation rules per form or query. I.E. I might want the customer name to be highlighted in one query if they have outstanding invoices, and in a diff. query I might want the customer name to be highlighted if they have open purchase orders, and the A/R clerk might want to see customer names highlighted if they have not made a payment in "X" days. Not sure this functionality is currently available.

Yes, presentation rules are per form, so all element types available currently in presentation rules (style, mask, format (something else I cannot remember now) are PER FORM already.

The new version will also add visibility/read-only and "required" elements to presentation rules, so these will be per form as well.

In the Form Cell Properties Page, can we please have the current size and format of the Attribute displayed under the Attribute Name.
So often when sizing Attribute cells on the Form it would be REALLY helpful to be able to see at a glance is this Attribute is 20 characters or 100 characters and also see similar info regarding Numbers.

What about Queries? Can we have presentation rules on query columns just like we have for form fields?

+1 for the presentation rules - esp the ability to put a formatting mask.

Forms yes, but in queries?

At the moment if you add an HTML row then you are presented with an HTML edit box to populate. Unfortunately when you close the HTML box the cell doesn't become selected so the properties aren't immediately shown so you've got to close the box, click the form cell to activate the properties and then select the label field.

Please add the label field to this edit box as the work flow if kind of clunky if you have to then seek out the label field once you've created the contents.

Perhaps also, if you leave the field blank default it to check the Hide Label box? Or is that an inconvenience? Are you more likely to want an indented HTML field than a no label HTML field???

PointsWell

When creating operations with records, if you switch off the name and icon for the button then this should set the "default action" flag on the operation.

PUSH NOTIFICATIONS for web
https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/codelabs/push-notifications/

This has been brought up in the past, is it conceivable that this kind of functionality can be built into AwareiM. It would be nice to get confirmation if this will be featured one day.

Being able to push notifications to users that are NOT logged in is a really powerful feature. Currently, there is a push Notification for mobile apps (not sure how well this works yet), upgrading this feature for web apps in the chrome or firefox browser would be extremely exciting

Not just me with this need for formatting masks in queries. Ideally these should be conditional eg. If Barcode length is 10 then xyz format if barcode length is 13 then abc format

Phone Number Mask on Query

This is probably just wishful thinking, but I would like an Attribute dictionary.

The idea would be to define an attribute with all of its settings, shortcuts maybe, in one place, outside of a BO.

Then in the BO attributes just select the Attribute from the dictionary and have it populate the BO with all of the attribute settings and Shortcuts.

My 'need' for this is that I might have a 'Program' attribute that I use in multiple BO's, this Program is a reference to a Programs Master File where the description and other information are actually kept.

Right now I have to manually define that reference and any shortcuts, in every BO that I use it in.

It would save a lot of time and potential error.

A side benefit would be if I change something in the Program attribute in the dictionary, it would be nice if that change was propagated to all of the BO's that use it.

Just my $.25

As a work around does copy from one BO and paste to another help? Assuming that the details of the Attribute are the same across all...

PointsWell

The BO Error Messages (mandatory or wrong data type) serve the user the attribute name, which is many cases is not a friendly name. It would be better if the error messages were driven by the label name as that is what the user sees.

PointsWell

This feature just launches the form in the configuration state, ie with all the cell markers. This does not give a real view as to how the form will look in production as the padding of the form cells can become quite extreme if you have a number of rows of fields. A form in config that has fields overflowing can actually have a massive white (grey really) space when in production.

Please make the Preview function show the form as it will look when running on the server (without the cell padding).

(This would also make it easier to use the form as a dummy placeholder)

The ability to run FIND actions in real time and see the results would be awesome 🙂

Like writing an SQL query on SQL clients and instantly getting back the results,
