I'm trying to find the database table where all the column config is stored that you can view through the Object Designer UI (EntitySchemaDesigner), but I don't appear to be able to find it. I have seen some of this data appears to be stored for Lookup columns in the SysEntitySchemaReference table, but for general columns I can't see it.

Is this data only stored in the MetaData column of SysSchema? Or am I just missing the table it's stored in column by column?

I need this data in order to create a SQL procedure for archiving records, as some columns which have since been removed from the Object still exist on the DB table, so I am trying to exclude such columns from the archiving process. Everything else works about the archiving procedure, the only error is when the source DB table has a column that doesn't exist in the Object's config. Any help appreciated.

Alternatively, how can I get Creatio to drop columns removed through the EntitySchemaDesigner from the database safely? i.e. a cleanup of the DB tables based on what exists in the actual Creatio config.

In campaigns: is there a way to add a contact to the campaign once an activity has been added. For example, send email to contact when the contact has the activity "sales drop" added to their profile..

Has anyone found an alternative to Aspose for generating PDF files in version 8.2 or higher?

Hi everyone,

I´m currently working on a project using documents in Freedom UI, and i was wondering if anyone has successfully implemented PDF generation directly from Creatio using a library in source code without relying on paid marketplace add-ons.

I came across this POST wich outlines an approach that seemed this method may no longer be applicable in the most recent versions of Creatio.

Any insights or shared experiences would be appreciated.

Regards,

Can't really do it without a 3rd party DLL or service. Some of the newer marketplace addons use the Free Spire.Doc .NET library, which is pretty easy to work with and would be easy to implement. There is a paid version of Spire.Doc, but the free version would likely suffice for most purposes (and can be used for commercial purposes)

Ryan Farley,

thank you for your response and for the recommendation,

I actually downloaded the free version of Spire.Doc and started exploring it — it does look quite promising. However, since I’m working entirely within Creatio Cloud, I believe there might be a limitation when it comes to using third-party DLLs directly, though I’m not completely sure.

Do you think it would be viable to integrate Spire.Doc by hosting the functionality externally (for example, as a microservice or an Azure Function) and calling it from Creatio via a REST API? I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether that approach makes sense or if you’ve seen it work in similar cases.

Thanks again for your help and insights.

Paulo Chacoff Leiton,

As Ryan said, we use the paid version of Spire.Doc in our marketplace app: https://marketplace.creatio.com/app/experceo-word-pdf-converter-creatio

It allows you to generate an unlimited number of PDF documents with unlimited pages (the Free version is limited to 3 pages).

Thank you
Mohamed

C#(Source code) implementation in remote module

Sagar Rodda

17:05 Jun 13, 2025

Hello,

I am developing a custom UI component using the angular remote module provided by Creatio.

The front-end part will be in the angular project. Now, If I want to call a server action(for ex: from my custom component a button click -> pass the record id to server action -> get the record retrieved and perform more server actions) where should I put that logic and how to call that logic from remote module?

Also, how do I run/debug the remote module during the development?

TIA.

You would implement the C# code and expose as a configuration service, see https://customerfx.com/article/creating-a-web-service-and-consuming-it-from-client-side-javascript-in-bpmonline/

Then to consume the service from the remote module, you'd use the devkit sdk as shown here: https://customerfx.com/article/calling-configuration-web-services-from-client-side-code-in-a-creatio-freedom-ui-page/

Ryan Farley,

Thank you.. If I want to ship this source code along with my package.. I have to put it under Resources as shown in the below image?

Can you also tell me if it is possible to run/debug the remote module during the development?

If I run the remote module using ng serve I am getting below error.

core.mjs:6531 ERROR Error: Remote entry with name 'angproject' does not exist
at AppModule.ngDoBootstrap (app.module.ts:28:23)

bootstrap.ts:7 Error: Remote entry with name 'angproject' does not exist

You could sync your workspace to Creatio, add it in the package there and then download the workspace back and you'll see it under the Schemas folder. Or you could add it under Files\cs

Display number of rows on Freedom List Page

LÉZORAY Nicolas

12:39 Jun 13, 2025

Dear,

On Freedom UI, in the list pages, I'd like to display the number of results with a possible filter like we used to with Classic UI with the Summary Sheet.

On Classic UI, you could also display the sum of numeric fields as the amount excluding tax.

Can someone please tell me how to do this ?

Thank you
Nicolas
