Hi Community,

 

Is there any functionality to set up custom fiscal (financial) year?

For example, default year start on January 1st, but we want to change the start date of a calendar to match our fiscal year which is April 1st.

+1 on this idea , including custom ficsal quarters, maybe to set at system level ?

Hello,

 

Unfortunately, this logic is deeply integrated in the code and to change it correctly you would need to rewrite a lot of it.

We do not recommend doing it since it might break much of the base functionality. 

 

Best regards,

Max.

Max,

 

quite disappointing, being a OOTB functionnality in a couple other major CRMs ...  hope you change your mind in further updates!



KR,

Really surprised that this is not included. This is pretty much mandatory functionality for any business that wants to use the dashboards. 

We have the same issue at my company: We need to review fiscal quarters, not calendar quarters. It is a management nightmare to change hundreds of widgets on multiple dashboards to custom dates, 4 times a year! 

 

Have the product dev team revisited this feature? This is a very useful and widely wanted feature.

rob dobbs,

Unfortunately, we do not have the opportunity to customize those filters because the realization of this functionality is in the core code base.

The new behavior will be implemented in future releases with 8.x new filters.

As a workaround, I suggest adding a column in which you will set or calculate the fiscal quarter by business process and another column for the fiscal year and filter based on these columns. However, it is a complicated solution and requires adding those columns to every object that needs this filtration.

Hello Community,

 

In the activities section, when a user adds a task between 11 PM to 12 midnight for a day, Creatio automatically displays it at the top of the day (Ref screenshot below). We would like to disable this behavior and display the slot only between 11 PM and 12 AM at the bottom of the day. This is a usability constraint for users who would like to view their whole day as they scroll vertically through the day.

 

We are aware that this might not be possible using Out of the box or configuration tools. How does one achieve the above using development? Thanks in advance.

Hello,

 

You will need to override the logic of the multiDayItemConfig object from the schedule-item.js schema (Terrasoft.controls.ScheduleItem class) according to your business needs (this object represents the configuration of such elements on the page).

 

Unfortunately we don't have any practical example on our side, but you can study the code of the schema and test it.

Dear Sethuraghav,

 

As for now, there is no possibility now to change the way how date and time are displayed in the calendar. We have this idea registered for our R&D team so they will consider it for implementing in the future updates. 

 

Best regards,

Angela

Dears, is there any new regarding this? When we could configure calendars to start on Monday?

Hello, Julio.Falcon_Nodos,

 

Unfortunately, there is no way to set up Monday as the first day of the week in the system with a help of basic system tools. It's logic is being controlled by the basic culture of the system, which cannot be changed with oob tools, for English culture week starts with Sunday.



This logic can be changed only by means of additional development.  Let me also mentioned that it's a very "core" logic, therefore we strongly do not recommend to apply any changes to it.

 

Overriding this logic can lead to unpredictable errors in a system both for cloud-based and on-site systems. 



We registered a corresponding query for our responsible R&D team to consider implement this functionality in the upcoming version of the main Application. As of now there is no specific ETA as implementing such changes is challenging and time consuming task.

 

Best regards,

Anastasiia

Hello community,

 

We have specific customization requirements around the Calendar view in the activities section. Request your help around feasibility and how to implement these - 

  1. Force a 1 Hr view in the calendar - Disable 5, 10, 15 and 30 min views.
  2. Permit only 1 activity addition per slot. ie User should be prevented from entering 2 activities in the same time slot (I am aware of a few reactive ways to prevent this - Like Have a Business process which monitors). Are there any pro-active ways to disable this either via configuration or code?
  3. Prevent selection of multiple slots ie Users should not be able to drag the selection and choose 3 Pm to 6 Pm. They should only be able to select 3 - 4 Pm or 4 - 5 Pm in 1 Hr slot increments.
  4. Change working week to - Monday to Sunday (Instead of default Sunday to Saturday).
  5. Make all past (Anything lesser than current datetime) activities as read-only by default. These are a few ways to do this like have a constantly running Business process which monitors and does this change. I am looking for a more elegant and cleaner way.

Dear Shrikanth,

  1. Should be an easy task, since the activity periods are mini page fields you can just add filters to them. 
  2. You can create the process in object for OnSave method that will check activities for the user and forbid the creation of record if the slot is not empty. 
  3. For this task it will be easier to completely replace activity mini page and add your own fields. 
  4. Check Calendar lookup, it has information about workweek. 
  5. A process on an object like OnEntitiyInitialize should work perfectly. It will deactivate record when the user opens it.

Best regards,

Angela

Hi Angela , 

Regarding point no 4 . I have changed the workweek settings as attached and still the view didnt change , Any Idea ?

Hello Sethuraghav,

 

Unfortunately, there are no basic tools to set up Monday as the first day of a week in the system.  The week settings in the quick filter by time period now take into account the localization selected in the user profile. For example, if English localization is selected in the profile, weeks start with Sunday.

 

However, our R&D team has already task to implement this feature as a basic one in further releases. 

 

Best regards, 

Olga. 

Is there a way to add another calendar view? and not change the existing one?

Olga Avis, Any updates on this note?

Is there any option to change the standard 24-hour Monthly calendar to a more Outlook-type 30 day/4 week, 7 day view? Is This on the the Request list?

Thanks and Stay Safe!

Dear Harold,

 

You can use the section Start Date\Due Date filter in the calendar to display the activities in the required layout. The view layout will change according to the amount of days selected in the filter. Thus you will be able to see the activities within week or month.

Dean

Dear Julio,

 

Go to Profile settings -> accounts in external sources. There you will see a list of all accounts that are used for synchronisation.

Hey Peeps!

 

When I set calendar for an employee setting day offs , how the system allows scheduling activities on that day. 

How to calculate efficiency of an employee when he has reduced working hours but yet he is working?

Dear Shailey,

 

There is no such functionality that allows to calculate the user's efficiency. You can use the activities for any days. For example, if a customer center user works with cases, he can set the activity with the completed status where start date and due date is the actual time spent to process this case. I case a user spends 1 hour for a ticket - he sets the 1 hour activity.

Another workaround is to use SysUserSession table to see how much time a user was logged in and use this data in the efficiency estimation.  You will be able to see how many days the user was logged in and compare it with the overall business days amount in your targets. 

Other than that, the there is no default tool to calculate this data.

Dean

Hello

I know that Bpmonline supports Gregorian Calendar, what about supporting other calenders like (Hijri Calendar)

Hello,

Unfortunately, by default there are no any other calendars or Hijri Calendar time format. If you need to set up the new calendar, for example for case resolution time calculation, feel free to refer to the following article and create your custom calendar (calendar setup paragraph) https://academy.bpmonline.com/documents/service-enterprise/7-15/how-setup-response-and-resolution-time-calculation

Other than that, unfortunately, it is not possible to set up the time and date format according to Hijri calendar. We will register the idea of adding more calendars in our R&D team backlog for implementation in the future application releases. 

Best regards,

Dean

Hi,

I am looking to get a couple of feature requests some feedback and up votes, so that BPMOnline can see there is a need to improve the calendar display.

If you agree with the following two feature requests I posted, can I ask you to LIKE this post and the two posts, so we can demonstrate these are features that BPM should implement or for a partner to create an extension.

Calendar Navigation

LINK - https://community.bpmonline.com/ideas/calendar-navigation-improvements

Hi

I have been having serious issues navigating around the calendar, which means it is both an unpleasant and inefficient process.

The following are suggestions on improving the navigation within the activity calendar display:

1. Add left and right arrow links to allow navigation to previous and subsequent periods of time. For example if looking at a 7 day period, clickin gon the right arrow will take you to the following week. Standard calendar navigation stuff!

2. Also I work often in a week view, but having the 7 day option means that space is taken up by 2 days (weekend) unnecessarily, so adding a 5 day (work week) option will improve this.

Screenshot sample:

 

Colour Coding of Entries

LINK - https://community.bpmonline.com/questions/project-resource-scheduling

Feature Request

User based colour coding on the activity calendar

When adding users, automatically give each a different colour border.

The current use of colour to indicate priority or past due, can be incorporated in another method; Title bar or text colour.

Images attached (to original post, link above) showing current issues and suggested change

 

Thanks for your support, as these features to me are essential to efficient usage of the Calendar display function within BPMOnline.

These would be great improvements +1

Ryan Farley,

Thanks for voting. I am really hoping to get this area improved for everyones benefit.

Dear Mark,

I forwarded all suggestions you created to our R&D team so they could consider enhancing the following functionality in the upcoming releases. Thank you for helping making our application better! 



Best regards,

Angela

Angela Reyes,

Thanks Angela. I had a session with our Customer Success rep who stated that this was not going to be a feature that is on the roadmap for any time soon. This is why I am posting this up, as I would like to demonstrate that customers are not using the inbuilt functionality within BPM due to the lack of basic features such as the ease of navigation and visibility of different users when multiple user calendars are displayed at the same time.

Please vote up!

I seen Calendly integrated in the Partner Portal. later taken down. It looked good an highly functional.
