Connecting to tables in external databases

I have successfully connected to tables in an external MySQL database from AwareIM. The last step is to define shortcuts, which I believe is allowed, but I get the following error: "Only shortcut attributes can be added to business objects persisted in external tables. However, you do not have any r...

EXPORT DOCUMENT - as a batch

Guys, I have a business object called SourceDocument, which has 100 documents stored in it. I have a query that lists these 100 documents. The list has filters. When the user has filtered the list down to say, 40 documents, they want to be able to export these actual 40 documents. Can this be done?

DISPLAY DOCUMENT

Guys, I have a business object (SourceDocument) with an attribute Document, of type Document. When I view an instance of SourceDocument on its Main form, I want the user to be able to open up and view the document itself. So I defined a button that executes a process to display the document via the ...

Re: EXPORT to a file name that is stored in an attribute

Thanks Support,

I checked the rule language guide. It turns out that the path I was supplying was invalid. My issue.

It now works brilliantly.

EXPORT to a file name that is stored in an attribute

Guys, I am attempting to define an EXPORT action in a process, with the objective of exporting data to a .csv file that is located in a different folder each day. From what I can see, the EXPORT action requires a hard-coded file name (eg: c:/folder/file.csv). I need to generate a different path for ...

Re: Can a user have multiple access levels?

I will test that last option. And thanks Tom for your suggestion. The concern I have with setting the switches is that the user can view the source in the browser and change the switch settings which compromises security. Does that sound right, or am I misunderstanding something?

Re: Can a user have multiple access levels?

Mark, you were right. You can't override the access level.

I will give it some more thought. I still want to use AwareIM for this project.

Re: Can a user have multiple access levels?

Thanks for the replies. What I am now thinking is that all users are stored in the RegularUser business object. I define another business object called RegularUserRole, linked to RegularUser, which lists the roles that each user has. Some users may only have one role stored in RegularUserRole (eithe...

Re: Can a user have multiple access levels?

Mark, thanks for your quick response. If I have a business object which stores the authorised access levels for each user, then I should be able to list those as part of an initialisation process (PICK FROM ...) ? The user would then pick one for the session (I would store the picked access level on...

Can a user have multiple access levels?

Hi, I have a project which requires a person (who would have a unique login name) to have 2 or more access levels at the same time. In my context, the person may be a staff member and/or a student. Staff and Student would be the 2 access levels, with totally different VP options, but it looks to me ...

Refreshing the home page after running the initialisation

On login, I run an initialisation process. This process compares today's date to the user's permissions (which are granted for date ranges), and resets their permissions on LoggedInRegularUser. The problem is, these updated permissions aren't being reflected on the Home page menu options until the u...

Refreshing the home page after running the initialisation

Hi, I have an initialisation process on login that resets values in RegularUser, and these values control things that the user can see and/or do from the home page. Even though I am resetting values in LoggedInSystemUser, these aren't being reflected on the home page unless I logout and login again,...

Select files button for a Document type attribute

Hi, On a business object, I have an attribute of type Document. When placed on a form, there is an option to Select Files..., which I assume the user would press to upload a document into the attribute. In test mode, when I press the Select Files... button, nothing happens, so in effect I cannot upl...
