This container you are referring to is supposed to store DataViews in it (please take a look at the getDefaultDataViews method from the BaseDataView module). It is not supposed to store buttons in it.

It is better to add the button to a separate container created in the FiltersContainer container and bind process execution to this button. As an example I've added the button to the contact section analytics data view:

define("ContactSectionV2", ["ProcessModuleUtilities"],
	function(ProcessModuleUtilities) {
		return {
			entitySchemaName: "Contact",
			attributes: {},
			messages: {},
			methods: {
				runCustomProcess: function() {
					var config = {
						sysProcessName: "UsrProcess_eedcaa6"
					};
					ProcessModuleUtilities.executeProcess(config);
				}
			},
			diff: /**SCHEMA_DIFF*/ [
				{
					"operation": "insert",
					"name": "CustomButtonContainer",
					"parentName": "FiltersContainer",
					"propertyName": "items",
					"values": {
						"itemType": Terrasoft.ViewItemType.CONTAINER,
						"items": []
 
				},
				{
					"operation":"insert",
					"name": "TestProcessButton",
					"parentName": "CustomButtonContainer",
					"propertyName": "items",
					"values": {
						"itemType": Terrasoft.ViewItemType.BUTTON,
						"caption": {bindTo: "Resources.Strings.CustomButtonCaption"},
						"click": {bindTo: "runCustomProcess"},
						"style": Terrasoft.controls.ButtonEnums.style.GREEN
					}
				}
				] /**SCHEMA_DIFF*/
		};
	});

And connected custom process execution when clicking the button. As a result the button appeared on the page as expected:

And a custom process was executed upon clicking it.

Hi Oleg

Couple of questions. If I just wanted this button to appear on List View of the Section Page rather than the Analytics what would need to change?

Also does this code create the custom button here or does that need to be created elsewhere and it is just referenced here?

thanks

Rob Watson,

Hello Rob,

For the first question: I used the FiltersContainer container as a parent for the button, but it has the logic that it's hidden in the list view and is displayed only in analytics view (logic of the saveFiltersContainersVisibility method). In this case logic like this should be used:

methods: {
...
loadAnalyticsDataView: function() {
					this.set("IsCustomButtonContainerVisible", false);
					this.callParent(arguments);
				},
 
				loadGridDataView: function() {
					this.set("IsCustomButtonContainerVisible", true);
					this.callParent(arguments);
				},
...
 
diff: [
...
{
					"operation": "insert",
					"name": "CustomButtonContainer",
					"parentName": "QuickFilterModuleContainer",
					"propertyName": "items",
					"values": {
						"itemType": Terrasoft.ViewItemType.CONTAINER,
						"visible": { "bindTo": "IsCustomButtonContainerVisible" },
						"items": []
					}
				},
				{
					"operation":"insert",
					"name": "TestProcessButton",
					"parentName": "CustomButtonContainer",
					"propertyName": "items",
					"values": {
						"itemType": Terrasoft.ViewItemType.BUTTON,
						"caption": {bindTo: "Resources.Strings.CustomButtonCaption"},
						"click": {bindTo: "runCustomProcess"},
						"style": Terrasoft.controls.ButtonEnums.style.GREEN
					}
				}
...
]

We change a parent item for the "CustomButtonContainer" to "QuickFilterModuleContainer". As a result button will be visible only in list view and will be hidden in analytics view.

As for the second quesion: the button is created in the schema diff directly (container + button itself).

Hi Ryan,

We used a standard snack-bar as in the example here: https://material.angular.io/components/snack-bar/examples and wrapped with the service.

Here is an example: 

Bogdan Spasibov,

Hi, could I use a code similar to this in a task script in a process?

For example, on a page, a user clicks on a button to do something, the button executes a process and I want to inform the client that it is processing what the process does.... 

Julio.Falcon_Nodos,

Yes, I do this often and it works great. You'd need to:

1. Send a message from the process to the front end. See https://customerfx.com/article/how-to-refresh-a-page-from-a-process-in-…
2. Have some code somewhere that listens for the message. See https://customerfx.com/article/receiving-server-side-messages-in-a-crea…
3. Then display the toast message. See https://customerfx.com/article/displaying-toast-message-popups-from-cre…

I've typically done this by making a generic process I can use as a subprocess. It sends the message to the client. Then I make a generic script loaded from MainShell or MainHeaderSchema that listens for the message and displays the toast. It makes it simple and generic to use and works on any page.

I am not certain but there was an update from Creatio last year that removed the PDF function from Printables. Already existing Printables were still able to be converted to PDF, but new printables would not be able to. I am not sure if the Marketplace addon uses a distinct function to convert to PDF or uses what Creatio was using. I have used this element before and it worked but the Printable object may have been created before the Creatio patch that changed this function. 

Hello Rommel, Reid,

The “Save Printable” business process element uses the base functionality for generating printables.

Reid is absolutely right that Creatio products enable generating only the .docx files at the moment. The same refers to the add-on.

Hope this helps.

Have a good day!

Hello,

Any alternative to convert the word document to PDF or any fix to use the "Save Printable" business process element only for the conversion for the latest Creatio version?

Hello

We have released our Word to PDF converter addon in the marketplace: https://marketplace.creatio.com/app/experceo-word-pdf-converter-creatio

It allows you to convert unlimited Word documents to PDF without an external service.

I hope you find it useful!

Hi Fulgen,

All the information available on JS API that is used in Creatio can be found here https://academy.creatio.com/api/jscoreapi/7.15.0/index.html

Hello Cricket,

Hope you're doing well.

At the moment the base logic of the application doesn't allow to show you either more or all the records after clicking on the 'Show more' button. I have informed our R&D department about this case so they could consider enhancing the following functionality in the upcoming releases.

Best regards,

Roman

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your message.

We have forwarded your request to the responsible team.

We will get back to you with a solution as soon as we receive their feedback.

Have a good day!

Hi Chris,

Here is the feedback we received:

You need to check the values in the Creatio system settings connected to the Aspose service.

Please use the screenshot below to check whether the Aspose setting values match the respective system settings in Creatio.:

After you apply the changes, we recommend you to log out and log back into Creatio for checking the updates.

Hope this helps, 

Have a good day!

Thanks!  That worked.
