Is there a possibility to recreate the lookup section with the SAME functionality as the one in V7?
What I mean is that we're currently able to create a section based on the lookup object, but when clicking on a lookup, we don't get the relevant information in V8.
Please note that it is possible to create a Freedom UI section based on an existing object. You can find the instructions on this in the article below:
Thank you for your comment. I wasn't able to post any screenshots but I already have a section based on the object "lookup". However, in V7 whenever you click on the name, you are represented with the data within this lookup.
If you create a new V8 page based on the "lookup" object, you'll only get the following fields:
Created on, Modified on, Name, Description, Created by, Modified by
You wont be able to see the data within this lookup.
I'm trying to add an object in my local account and add a parent object to the object, but when I try to add it, I get the error that the menu does not appear. I tried typing any name, it still comes up blank. What can I do?
If you are trying to create an object that should inherit properties from other packages, and nothing is being inherited, make sure you have added dependencies to those packages.
To do this, you can open the "Dependencies" section on the package creation page and add dependencies to the packages from which you want to inherit properties. If the package has dependencies, the installation of these dependencies is checked during package installation, so make sure you have added all the necessary dependencies for inheriting properties.
To add to what Alla said, whatever object it is that you want to select as your parent, find what package that object is in and then add that package as a dependency to your package. If you're wanting to select BaseEntity, I believe that package is Base.
but the issue is that esq is async and we always get the value for the column after all the handlers are completed. I will ask our core R&D team to add esq support in Freedom UI. Thank you for helping us in making the app better!
There is already support for EntitySchemaQuery in the new Creatio DevKit SDK that returns a promise that you can await rather than using a callback as in the Ext version. I can't seem to get it to work yet although it's difficult when I'm just guessing at how it is used since there is no documentation on it yet - or by trying to figure it out by examining the code (which is very difficult since it's minified and transpiled from TS).
If you could get one of the devs to provide a small sample using ESQ from the DevKit SDK that would be fantastic.
I've been told the intended use on a Freedom UI page is to use the Model class for retrieving, adding, updating, deleting data from client-side code on a Freedom UI page (instead of using ESQ).
I'll have several more articles coming on doing queries with the Model class. I actually quite like using the model class so far, but there are for sure some things that I am not sure it can handle like ESQ - I hope we'll see ESQ become available in Freedom UI pages, the classes are all in the DevKit SDK - except for the one that matters (the QueryExecutor to actually execute the ESQ).
Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to set up the "Actions" button in the Freedom UI. However, this task has already been assigned to our R&D team and they are actively working on implementing this functionality into the basic tools of CRM in the soonest releases.
Does anyone know how to enable approvals in the latest version ? knowing that there's no View>Open section wizard in the section created with the newwest version
Could you please elaborate on the issue and explain what functionality exactly you are not able to find? How did you create the section exactly and how did the "Enable approvals" look in the older sections?
In version 8, i've created a new section in the Application Hub > New Application > New page.
In the older version we used to create a new section in the Section Wizard. Also in the older version, in the section itself, we usually click on View > Open section wizard where we can find multiple section properties including the Enable Approvals checkbox.
Tha't what i'm trying to find in the newest version, as there's now View > Open section wizard in the page.
I have checked this matter with our R&D team and unfortunately "Enable approvals" checkbox is not available in the Freedom UI yet. It is planned to add it in future releases, but it is hard to tell when exactly it will happen.
So what's the current workaround for that ? Supposed we're working on a new section developed using the version 8 and we wanted to enable the approval on it
The 8.0 on-site version is available for the support team, but please, contact our support, so we can provide more details regarding your specific needs.
I am trying to Create New Record in a custom Section using an open edit page in Business Process but the section doesn't appear on the open edit page activity .
at the moment in the atlas release the business processes do not support pages from sections customly created. That is why this section does not appear in the BPM.
At the moment the BPM only supports already existing sections.
Our R&D team is already working to develop this functionality and it will be available in further releases.
