Aware IM User Forums

To get the search form to display a set of values to the user for selection, rather than a blank box, you need to specify a list of choice values for attribute Occupation on the related object and indicate that no other values allowed (this is done in the Configuration Tool). Then the form will show...

The form shows blank boxes for attributes of the related object so that the user can type required criteria for the related objects. For example, you could use a form for Account object to find all accounts where the account holder name is [user-entered]. The account holder here is an attribute on A...

Terry, We do plan to add a full interactive debugger in the future. In the meantime, Aware IM offers a logger that, on its most detailed level, gives a full report of the rule processing including evaluation of conditions, execution of actions, assigned values etc. The Log Viewer presents the report...

Terry, If you do not want these operations to be visible you can configure a process that lets the user choose from the query results and then performs a specific action with the selection, for example: PICK FROM Account WHERE Account.State = 'Open' VIEW Account Another example: PICK ONE OR MORE FRO...

Terry,

Yes, I see your point. We have added the type conversion functions to our development list and will implement them shortly. We will post a message to this topic when the functions are available.

Terry, You are right, nested conditional expressions are not supported because they go against the rule engine implementation for reasons described in details in Configuration Principles under the Configuration Guidelines section of the Aware IM User Guide. Generally, Aware IM encourages a non-proce...

Terry, Thanks for reporting this problem. In our tests the problem happens only if the object is not saved after the attribute is changed. If the object is saved before the form is previewed then all values are displayed correctly. Please save the object before previewing the form as a workaround un...

Terry, The system automatically handles type conversions between textual and numeric attributes. You can always assign a numeric value to a textual attribute. A textual value can be assigned to a numeric attribute if the text contains a valid representation of a number. You can use the standard text...

The system will automatically create multiple pages if the amount of data cannot fit on one page when the report is generated. If you want to force a page break, you can indicate this in Title, Summary or group bands (please see the Report Designer section in the Aware IM User Guide for details). If...

To select multiple items for copying, hold down Ctrl key (Apple key on Mac) while clicking on each desired item in the tree. Then right-mouse-click (Control-click on Mac) on any of the selected items and select Copy from the context menu.

Yes. You can copy business objects, rules and other configuration elements from one business space to another, or duplicate them within the same business space. To do it, right-mouse-click (Control-click on Mac) on the desired configuration element in the configuration tree panel on the left and sel...

Yes, you are right. We will add it to our TO DO list.

Terry, > When I do a FIND how can I tell if no records were found? You can use EXISTS in a condition before you run your query: If NOT (EXISTS ...) Then ... where the expression for EXISTS is exactly the same as for FIND in the query. > ... tell how many were found ... You can use COUNT to determine...

Yes. Your query could look like this: FIND Client WHERE NOT(EXISTS Transaction WHERE (Transaction.Client = Client AND Transaction.MadeOn = ?'Transaction Date')) This query will display a window to let the user specify the desired date. You can, of course, replace the prompt (the ?'Transaction Date' ...

The most straightforward approach would be the one that closely follows your description. You can define an object ContactSet with attributes Companies and Employees to allow one or more employees to work on a list of selected companies. Create access level 'Manager' and allow users of that access l...
