Build 2926 is out. It has proper support for long-running processes switching to the background. The new video tutorial about it: [url]https://youtu.be/Zrj_11GVuxU[/url] The list of changes in this build; Bugs: 1. A number of bugs with running processes in the background 2. Query with prompts sometimes ignored output options of the calling process 3. "Display format" settings in column properties of standard queries was not saved for date attributes 4. Applicability conditions of operations didn't work for "button-type" cells in the Form Designer 5. Separator icon was not visible in the mobile Chrome browser Improvements: 1. It is no longer necessary to change aware.js to support custom web application directory name 2. SET PROGRESS action 3. CONTEXT_SIZE function

Can someone explain 2 & 3 plz Edit: ok, I see #2 is in the video as it’s related to background processing

I would love some solution for progress status in the frontend of a app. Another thing, I don't use the status bar in any of my apps so having the option to direct the status messages etc. to some other place like a div, message or similar would also be great.

If you are not concerned with App branding and you are okay with AwareIM in the Url to your app, then you don't need this

2. SET PROGRESS action

Could this be a clever way of presenting a progress bar on how long a process is taking, please let it be. 😃 I have a number of long processes and i want to indicate progress of the action to the user

...just watched the video , its seems SET PROGRESS is used for background process progress. Is it possible to use it in foreground mode for a progress bar indicator ?

Agree.
I don’t use the Status Bar.
Def. would be nice to redirect this output somewhere else on the screen.

Recently I saw something appear in the CRM demo… a msg displayed in the status bar that I’d never seen before.
Something like “records updated” or similar. But I don’t know if it was automatic or if a process was using this new function.
I noted seeing it and moved on.

Actually this got me thinking about the status bar messages, it would also be useful if we could direct these to some other output. It would mean a lot better UX as many of the messages are good, informative and related to what the user is doing.

This is about renaming the AwareIM folder, if you do this you need to edit the aware.js file - do a text search on the aware.js for AwareIM and you can see what needs to be changed (there are no docs on this )

Jaymer

Like I said, I’ve always renamed it, and never done anything in the .JS file

It depends on what you are doing. There are some operations that depend on this value in aware.js

well, this basically sets a variable: m_webAppPrefix. I only found this in 1 place in Aware.js.
the variable is used in 2 places.
Can't really see what will/wont happen based on this not being reset when I'm no longer using /AwareIM,
but I haven't done this for 4 years and can't point to something not working.
