Hello,

Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to add the option of adding Emails, Calls, and Messages records via clicking on Next Step. Alternatively, you can try to perform such an action through customization in the Freedom UI designer. Add menu items to the + Next Step button and customize the opening of pages for different types of activities.

However, we have forwarded your idea to the responsible R&D team to add this functionality in future releases.

 Thank you for helping us to improve our product!

Hello, 

You can add items to the menu from the + (add) button to add things such as "Create a case" etc. However, the case won't show in the Next step list. 

To add items to the list, you can do this with no code in the page designer (click the + button and add a new item to it)

None of the following handlers are triggered by clicking this button, maybe I've missed some candidates but these are the ones I've tried so far:

crt.ChangeNextStepsStateRequest

crt.OpenPageRequest

crt.UpdateRecordRequest

crt.CreateRecordRequest

Also tried "brute forcing" it by overriding every handler I could find in the Creatio code, but literally nothing fires when clicking that button! Not even something like the page's crt.HandleViewModelPauseRequest (since it's a modal popup, I guess the full page doesn't actually pause like it would when navigating to a another page through clicking a lookup for example). Hopefully I've missed something, triggering some action on clicking that button would be useful.

Any thoughts/knowledge on how such a thing could be achieved?

Hi Harvey! 

Unfortunately, at the moment, there is no way to intercept the event of clicking on the Next-steps tile buttons. This button can call different requests depending on the type of tile, and these requests are called without the view model context, which will not allow us to intercept them from the card and use them to save card data.

We have registered your idea, and the R&D team has already planned the task for this improvement - they will create a special output event for the Next-steps component. This functionality will be available in future releases.

Thank you for making our product better!

Best regards,

Natalia

Thank you for the information Natalia, this would be a welcome improvement!

Hi Natalia, is there any expected timeline for this improvement known yet? Do you have a reference for the planned task for later follow-up?

Love the idea

Hello,



I have discussed this request with the Product Owner.

As for now, there is no such functionality.



We have already registered the idea for our R&D team to implement this functionality in further releases.



Thank you for this suggestion, this helps to make our product better!

Hello Timea,

You have to set the correct data source. For example, if I will create a new task from the case page and I want to fill in the case automatically:

 

I should set the data source "Activity.Case" for this field: 

Thank you so much for your answer :)

Hello Harvey and Damien!

In Freedom UI Pages, the structure of the page is different and along with this a new way to refresh anything on the page. In this article you can find the way to achieve your goal:

https://customerfx.com/article/refreshing-reloading-page-or-list-data-on-a-creatio-freedom-ui-page/

Here's example of handler which you can use:

handlers: /**SCHEMA_HANDLERS*/[
 {
  request: "crt.HandleViewModelAttributeChangeRequest", 
  /* The custom implementation of the system query handler. */
  handler: async (request, next) => {
   await next?.handle(request); 
   if (request.attributeName === 'Your Attribute Name' )
   {
    const handlerChain = sdk.HandlerChainService.instance;
    await handlerChain.process({
     type: 'crt.LoadDataRequest', $context: request.$context,
     config: { loadType: 'reload' },
    dataSourceName: 'Data Source Of Obj You Want To Refresh'
    });   
   }
  }
 },

Anhelina,

How can we find what the data source is for a component like a Timeline or Next Steps component though? The article suggests looking at the modelConfig elements in the page code, but none of these seem to relate to the timeline or timeline tiles. I expect there is some data source being created behind the scenes but finding out what it's called is the main problem for applying the theory of being able to reload anything on the page as is suggested.

Many thanks,

Harvey
