[Ideas] Control if Ajax refresh action shows image or not

$
0
0
Add another input to define if the ajax refresh action shows the spinning gif (or another image) or not.
This would be usefull for screens with multiple ajax refreshes but only some should require the image.

Ex.: A screen with a dropdown menu that shows using ajax refresh (Don't want to show an image with this)

[Ideas] Be able to search ideas

Be able to search ideas so you can check for duplicates.  This would be a free text field.

[Ideas] GetIdFromLabel function on Static Entities

$
0
0

It would be really useful to have a default function on static entities that would allow you to get an entity record based on the label property value. This would work similar to the current default function that returns an entity record based on the Id property.

Current workaround (see image below) is to use an aggregate to match a text value to the label property. If a value is found, we return the id, otherwise we raise a ValueNotFoundException.


[Ideas] Feedback when hitting F9 in debug mode in Service Studio

$
0
0

It's only a small thing but (for me anyway) it would be nice if there was some kind of feedback when you hit F9 to show that the app has stopped debugging and running again.  Currently there is nothing to signify this and you can't tell anything has happened.

[Ideas] [Outsystems Java stack: Catchup to .NET stack] - add missing feature "Automatic upgrade" support [MUST HAVE]

$
0
0

Just like Outsystems .NET stack, the Java stack should also have "Automatic upgrade"


  1. .NET stack, when a solution (eSpace/Extension) is deployed, by default the .NET stack will takecare of automatially updating eSpaces and extensions to match the Outsystems platform that its deployed to. In the Java stack this feature is not supported instead the following error is returned "Automatic upgrade is not supported in J2EE servers. Please upgrade the eSpace with your local Service Studio."

Why is this a must have feature? It is not ideal for Java developers to update one file at a time to deploy a solution.

Without this feature most of outsystems solution packages (including forge solutions) could not be publish without first manually updating one eSpace/extension at a time. 

[Ideas] [Service Studio] WebScreen Preview: It should be possible to select a default value (to be previewed) in the IFs

$

It should be possible to select a default value (to be previewed) in the IFs.

This way, we could preview any combination of the conditions which change the IFs present in the screens. Currently we only can preview the TRUEs.

[Ideas] Improve Merge

$

Most of times, the merge tool should be automatic...

If one developer has change one screen and other developer a diferent one, why should i have to merge the two versions?

Anyone familiar with CVS, SVN, GIT, etc will agree with me!

[Ideas] SQL Query tool for the Service Studio

$
0
0

I would be nice to have SQL Query tool for the Service Studio.  

  • This tool should be also optimized for OutSystems entities only.
  • When you go as new developer at old project, it would be many times handy to browse data directly with SQL tool instead of use Aggregate.
  • It should also allow do all the basic database operations like INSERT, UPDATE, SELECT, DELETE, DROP AND CREATE etc.
  • Tool should be also easy or easier as Aggregate :) with SQL export support.

Why:

  • Currently, when you are at environment that you do not have SQL access is a little bit pain and you end up loosing time,


[Ideas] IsNull built-in function

$
0
0
It would be nice to have built-in function acting like SQL IsNull:
    IsNull(value, replacementValue)
    - returns value if it is not null / not default, or replacementValue if value is null / default

Currently, you have to use If like this: Value = If(Value = "", ReplacementValue, Value). In many cases Value and ReplacementValue are fields of entity/structure, which might be a field of other structure, so you know how the expression can be quite long in reality. It would be much clearer, and less chance for mistakes (like when you accidentally put something else in place of Value inside If) with IsNull function.

[Ideas] Time: remove seconds (or format strings)

$
0
0
The functions DateTimeToTime() and\or FormatTime() could have an optional argument to hide the seconds from the time.

Transform this:
09:30:00

Into this:
09:30

Or, Service Studio could use format strings:

Replace this function:
FormatTime(value, time_separator)

With this:
FormatTime(value, format_string)

Ex.:  FormatTime(#2015-03-13 09:30:00#, "HH:mm")

This would return just "09:30"

[Ideas] Clear local variable with entity datatype

$
0
0

Hi All,

It would be very usefull if there was a function to clear automatically a local variable who has an entity datatype. This could be an action or a setting of the variable itself. 

Example:

entityName.variableA = "test" -> entityName.variableA = ""

entityName.variableB = "test" -> entityName.variableB = ""


Kind Regards,

[Ideas] Branching

$
0
0
Branching could be useful in different situations, some more relevant than others, but on big factories with a team with several developers, it could be very useful.

A situation that occurs frequently is when we receive a change request which requires changes on core entities, this will break the environment , and will affect other developers that are working on a different feature, but are prevented of testing/developing without pain since the environment is broken.
So it would be great of having an way of creating a branching per pta of a solution, were the developer could make the change that will break the environment isolated, finishes the development, could test it isolated again (remeber that i've mentioned a branch of the solution), if everything is ok, perform the merge of the branches, create a new solution and schedule the publish.
Im mentioning PTA was a way of doing it, it could be by branch, if it was possible to work on different espaces on a context of a branch

If i was a smoker i would quit smoking with this feature :)

[Ideas] Add several images at a time - Service Studio

Hello,


I know this is already possible if we attach them to a extention.


Althought it would be nice if we could select and add several images at a time on service studio. Adding folders to images on service studio would also help on their organization/management.

[Ideas] Community text editor improvements

$
0
0

The text editor seems to be very minimal at the moment (though I know there are certain options available if you know the tags for them....)

I would love to have the option to insert code snippet blocks incase I want  to provide a bit of javascript or css. (maybe even expressions).

If I want to do so right now I would have to look up the code tag.

And this doesn't really satisfy me (using the <code></code> tags)

Instead this looks to be more to my liking (using the <pre></pre> tags)

I know these options are available to me if I enter code view and enter the tags there, but can't we just get a simple button to add these blocks instead? It will surely make people cleanup their posts easier.


[Ideas] Sizing tool

In the sizing tool the ability to add documents to the Story our Feature, and this documents can pass to the ANP tool !

[Ideas] Hidden parameters

$
0
0
There should not be any hidden parameter's or buttons inside ServiceStudio like the BPT's process skipped parameter which is only shown if the 'Allow Skip' is defined.
Instead if it was de-activated and maybe documented in it's comments. It would be less confusing and more intuitive that way.

[Ideas] Toolbox improvement

$
0
0
Hi,

we all know that nifty toolbox on the left where you have your the tools or widgets for designing eSpace elements.

what I am missing in that department, the ability to place there most commonly used widgets/actions or even combined actions.
perhaps even 2 placeholders:

- favourites (say 5 favourites you want to have there)
- last 5 used  (just like the recentitems thingy, only for actions/widgets)


Simple examples I am thinking about (and absolutely not limted to, because it should be customizable)

- Feedbackmessage
- Audit
- CatchError (3 elements) :  the Exception-Feedbackmessage-End, with 1 drag'n'drop you have it inside your action
- PopupClose (2 elements): PopupNotify, PopupClose
and ofcourse your most used action, like "CheckSession" "ValidateSomething"


[Ideas] Mark clearly any variables, actions or tools which are not used

$
0

Through refactorings it's easy to loose track of what is not being used anymore. It's also a good way to catch some problem.

[Ideas] OnDrag&Drop - Automatically create variable assign.

$

0

 It would be nice, to automatically create the assign and fill the respective variable, after drag and drop an variable to an action flow.


Example attached.
