Hi All, 

 

I have a couple of question regarding Creatio Cloud that I couldn't find the answer in the documentation.

  1. Is the cloud application backed up regularly? Is this Enabled by default or do we need to ask support? what's the backup frequency?
  2. What is the Disaster recovery process for Creatio Cloud?
  3. When deploying a package, either from marketplace or a custom built one, is it advisable to request a DB backup? What would be the recommended deployment process?

Apologies if these questions are already covered in the documentation.

 

Thanks,

Tiago

Hello Tiago, 

 

1. A differential backup of a cloud instance is being created automatically every day, a full back - once a week: full backup - on Saturday, differential backup - on other days. The backup also can be done per your request at a specific time. 

2. Our backup protection against catastrophic events is provided by transferring the backup to Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3). The recovery process for backups of <7 days usually takes 2-8 hours depending on a backup volume. The backup retention period is 90 days. 

3. You can install marketplace and custom packages via the system interface, but we recommend submitting a request to Creatio support team in case you would like to install custom packages as we automatically create a backup of a cloud website before the package is being installed and can promptly recover the website in case any issues occur. 

 

Please, let us know in case any further information is required. 

 

Best regards, 

Olga.

Hello Wolf Galetzki,

 

If you would like to restore the website from the backup, please, contact our Technical support team at support@creatio.com. We kindly ask you to specify the website URL and the date of the backup creation.

 

Please, let us know in case you have any further questions.

Hi All,

I've noticed something strange happening when notifications are created by a portal user and assigned to a Creatio user.

I've created a business Process, triggered when a lead is created in the Partner Portal by a Partner user. This process creates and assigns a notification to the partner manager. 

When a lead is created, the partner manager gets the indication he has a new notification, however when he checks the notification section no new notifications are present.

If the partner manager then triggers a process that creates a new notification assigned to itself (ex: Create Opportunity from Lead v7.8.0), a notification is created plus the previous expected notification is also shown.

Both notifications work fine and navigate to the correct record as expected. It feels like the issue is just with showing the notification. 

 

As anyone seen anything like it? 

 

Thanks,

Tiago

How do you add a notification? Give the code or іschema process?

Hi Grigoriy, 

 

I created the following business process.

This process is triggered by a Portal user and creates a notification (step: Notify Partner Owner) assigned to the the partner owner, an internal user. 

I've copied the Step: notify Partner Owner from Business Process: Create Opportunity from Lead v7.8.0 > Step: Opportunity Notification. 

 

The Notification is created, just not shown until the Internal user triggers a process that creates a notification. 

 

 

 

Best regards,

Tiago

Tiago Carvalho,

Dear Tiago,

 

Can you please specify if the portal user can view notifications in notification panel? Or you expecting only popup?

 

Best regards,

Angela

Hi Angela,

 

The Portal user can't view notifications in the notification panel.

However the notification is addresses to the portal user manager (a company user) who can see the notifications. 

 

This user, see the warning that a there's a new notification. 

 

but when opening no new notification is shown. 

 

If this user triggers then triggers Business the Process: Create Opportunity from Lead v7.8.0. The process creates a new notification (Opportunities) and the previous hidden notifications are shown (Leads). 

 

I hope it makes sense.

 

Thanks,

Tiago

Hi All,

 

I'm trying to add a new font to the text editor but without any success.  

I'm looking at System Settings CKEditor font list (and eventually at CKEditor default font).

I tried adding Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; to the system setting however it does not show in the list of fonts. 

Am I missing anything? 

Full value for CKEditor Font List: Arial/Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;Comic Sans MS/Comic Sans MS, cursive;Courier New/Courier New, Courier, monospace;Georgia/Georgia, serif;Lucida Sans Unicode/Lucida Sans Unicode, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;Tahoma/Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;Times New Roman/Times New Roman, Times, serif;Trebuchet MS/Trebuchet MS, Helvetica, sans-serif;Verdana/Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

 

Thanks,

Tiago

Hello Tiago,

 

There will be two ways to use the created template for regular (not bulk) email sending:

 

1) from the "Actions dashboard" of some section (in this case the template will be available under the actions dashboard for the section that is specified as a macro source in the template settings and this template won't be available in the CTI panel). In this case we can select another font and type text using another font:

and then select the "Default" font from the list:

and continue using the default font for this template (that is my custom Tangerine font that I used during the template creation).

 

2) from the CTI panel and the behavior here is the similar to the behavior of the editor in actions dashboard.

 

Please also note that once you select the default font the "Open Sans" font will be displayed. This is a bug that our R&D team is aware of and I will also ask them to review this bug so they could fix it in one of nearest releases. I will also ask them to create some logic that allows using custom fonts in the email editor from the actions dashboard and in the CTI panel. 

 

You can also select all the text in the editor bedore sending an email and choosing the default font for the text so to prevent situations of two different fonts in the email text appearing.

 

Best regards,

Oscar

Hello Tiago,

 

There is no way to add a custom font to the list of fonts that appear when creating an email from the CTI panel. However you can add a custom font to the list of fonts in the content designer (this functionality was implemented in the 7.16.0 version). Please review this article where the whole process of adding a custom font is described and you will be able to use custom fonts in the content designer.

 

Best regards,

Oscar

Hi Oscar, 

 

Thanks for the reply, 

I've followed the article and the font is available for selection in the content designer. 

However, if the user wants to make changes to the selected email template there's the risk of the email being sent with two different fonts.  Would there be any way of preventing this? 

It would be useful to have the two list in sync.

 

Thanks,

Tiago
