Unfortunately, there is not such functionality that allows you to show image in list view. Tile view should be used in such cases.
However, you may try to create your custom view where everything you need will be displayed. To implement it, please check basedataview schema. Also scheduledataview schema (calendar view in activities) may helpful.
Thank you Alex. I am also trying to figure out on tile view how the image was shown but unfortunately I cannot find the exact methods behind this image dsiplay. Do you have any idea?
It's not possible to say why it doesn't work without debugging. Please debug the functionality, compare it with the one that works on the "QualifyStatus" column and find what's wrong.
It's not enough just to change a part of the code. Please debug the functionality in general and find how it works. Then create your own one from scratch.
However, this part of functionality is not something that is recommended to modify.
In case it is necessary to remove this window, you may simply override logic that is responsible for this part of functionality.
Please note on schema "BasePageV2" in package "NUI". More presisely, methods onCanBeDestroyed, setNotBeDestroyedConfig Please debug it to understand how the functionality should be modified in your case.
Also if you will decide to override this methods, please be careful not to affect other functionality.
I have a requirement to fetch data from an external API. The call is pretty costly in terms of performance and the data size is pretty huge. The good thing is the data is relatively static and doesn't change too often. Also, the data is transient in nature. It needs to be used for some intermediate processing and need not be persisted in the BPM'Online database. Ideally, I would like to store this data in the Redis Cache and set an expiry of 3 hours.
Theoretically, it seems possible to access the Redis Cache and get/set the values from/into the cache through the Source Code Schema. I wanted to confirm if there are any recommended ways of doing it? Are there any C# wrappers/classes that are already built in BPM'Online that we can use to get/set/invalidate cache?
There is no possibility to write directly to the Redis cache from the configuration. However, you can write to the Application level cache, which is stored to the Redis. Please see this article to find more info on Application cache:
In your earlier comment, you give an example of how to store a String in the dictionary. Could you share a working code snippet of how we can cache C# objects inside it?
In order to store an object in Application cache you should serialize the object to string and save the string. Please find more information about serialization in the article by the link below:
As for the extending the BaseEdit or TextEdit, you can choose any of them based on your needs. I would recommend to open each of them, check the functionality they are offering and decide which one would fit better considering your business task and plugin.
As for the CSS styles, please see the following thread with the instructions on creating custom styles.
I have created a detail page with some fields and a lookup list.
I would like to know how can i hide a specific item from that lookup list after i select it in the field, because i dont want that different fields have the same lookup item.
Hello, has anyone else found an issue with email sync where ALL emails will get posted to your company's Account record on the history tab? Since all internal employees are part of our company's account, this means if our employees sync our O365 email accounts with bpm'online, then ALL emails are visible to ALL employees. This could be problematic if a manager is using email to discuss one of their employees compensation or performance.
Does anyone have any suggestions how to avoid this issue?
We like email sync for the visibility and history of communication between our company employees and our clients. However the caveat of intra-company emails being seen by all is not ideal.
There is no such out-of-the-box functionality that wold record the emails on the Our Company account. It seems like you have some custom Email detail that is based on Contact object. The default settings are as follows http://prntscr.com/nfuwza
Most likely the current one is based on contact object. Please make sure you have the correct detail.
We are using the out of the box email detail, the same as what you show in your screenshot. Since I am a contact in our instance, and my company is my account connected to my contact record, any email that syncs from my O365 outlook account to bpm is shown in the email detail on the account page history tab. Access for all of our users is open for accounts and contacts, this means every user can see every email for everyone. For this reason we have stopped using email sync and have instead started using the SmartCloud Connect Marketplace Add-in for Outlook.
We've tried to recreate the same behavior but no emails getting posted in the account history. In this respect, I'd like to suggest you to approach our support team via support@bpmonline.com and investigate the issue in your particular environment.
I can do that, but isn't this very basic functionality of bpm? If a email enters bpm'online via email sync, and sender's email belongs to a contact in the system, the email gets recorded as an email type activity and that activity record automatically inherits the connections of the contact and account.
We rely on this functionality for case creation, if a contact sends an email to create a case, the case gets created and the contact and account columns get filled in automatically. The problem is this also leads to our own internal emails all getting recorded if we use email sync for our own internal email accounts.
Yes, linking the emails is a basic functionality but the problem here might be in the access rights. Therefore, it is better to approach our support team to have a closer look into the permissions settings to make sure you are provided with the correct solution. Also there might be a change that indeed it is some bug and we would need to investigate it.
Hi Alex, here is the resolution provided to me from my support case I had opened:
"Dear Mitch,
There is a feature called MailboxRightsForEmail. This feature divides emails and activities and grant different rights for them. This feature is currently disabled so all emails have the same access rights as activities - thus all users can see all emails. We can enable it on your instance but it will lead to mass data loss if the access rights are not set up. By saying that I mean that if there are users who must see certain emails they will not see it anymore if mailbox is not shared. So before we enable that feature please go through all mailboxes that exist in the system and make sure that all users have proper access rights for them."
I intend to explore this feature in a test environment to see how to use it and how well it works. In the interim, our solution is to use the outlook Add-in called "Smartcloud Connect for bpmonline" where users can push one specific targeted email to bpm from their outlook mailbox.
Depending on your business task, your can make up a business process with AUTO-GENERATED PAGE or PRE-CONFIGURED PAGE elements. Here are some more details on them:
Basically, the application does not support opening small dialog boxes, but you can use auto-generated page with any fields or buttons that you need. It can appear as a separate page but not as a small dialog box.
Auto generated page and pre-configured page will not be acceptable for our client since it will open as full screen. What we want to achieve is only as size as mini page or a dialog box.
How can we open a minipage in client code? maybe we can use mini page, upon clicking a custom button we will load a minipage.
Yes, that would be possible if you are ready to create this window using the development tools. Here are a couple of similar articles that will be helpful.
You can also analyze the the any minipage code and create a custom page that would open up upon your preferred conditions, as in your example upon clicking any button.
I found below dialog box with text field in BPM online after clicking the new email account. Same as below is our requirement, any idea how we can achieve this?
There are no basic tools in the bpmonline that would allow to open similar boxes. However, we suggest you to analyse the 'ModalBox' as well as 'ModalBoxSchemaModule' schemas code and develop your own dialog windows that would pop up under your preferred conditions.
I have a requirement to setup BPM'Online in production in an on-premise setup for 100-300 users. I went through the documentation of system requirements for 100-300 users. I have a few questions.
1) Would we need to procure licenses for Microsoft SQL server? Are there any other licenses that we need to procure for any other software component involved in the deployment?
2) Are there any best practices that we can use from a deployment architecture perspective?
3) Is there a docker solution readily available to horizontally scale each of the application components independent of each other? Has it been tried out before in production in any of the implementations? Are there any best practices while using docker in the context of BPM'Online?
1. In general, the bpmonline licenses are required for using particluar application functionality. As for the software for local deployment, bpmonline doesn't require any licenses. If you are using free Microsoft SQL server software, the application can be deployed without any difficulties.
3. As for now, unfortunately, we do not have any docker solutions. Most possible reason for it is that we already have cloud option for the application deployment.
Thank you for the info, Dean. Regarding point no. 3 in your comment, sometimes customers would not want to go on cloud citing data security reasons. For such customers, would it make sense to consider a deployment solution on-premise that would make it easy to manage hardware, mainly from a scaling perspective? While exploring Docker as a solution for this, would we have to be aware of some limitations/nuances of the BPM'Online framework that could hinder progress? In the context of Docker, can each of the application components in BPM'Online be horizontally scaled independent of each other?
We do not have any experience as well as documentation on how to deploy the environment using Docker. Basically it could be possible to deploy the environment using Docker, but since we have no such a solution, we cannot guarantee that the process is going to be successful. If you have any active subscription, you may approach our support team via support@bpmonline.com and request all necessary files for the website deployment. Using them you can try to deploy the application and be the first who find a solution to this question.
Please take a look at CasesEstimateLabel.js schema. It contains the logic for the indicator. On the CasePage.js schema there is a container (SolutionCaptionProfile) where indicator is rendered.
Please use the code in the CasesEstimateLabel.js schema to create your own module for indicator and then place it on the custom section page.
