[Ideas] New Text Function: Contains

Similar to the existing Index function, I would love to see a new Contains function to be used in expressions.

It would sit in Built-in Functions > Text, and be something along the following:

Contains(t, search)

Contains function : data type Boolean

Returns a value indicating whether a specified substring occurs within this string. Returns true if the search parameter occurs within this string, or if search is the empty string (""); otherwise, false.

Inputs:

t : mandatory; data type Text

The Text where the search Text can be found.

search: mandatory; data type Text

The Text string to be found.

[Ideas] Labels in aggregate filters

When using big expressions in aggregate filters it can be difficult to see what's going on quickly, but if we are able to setup labels (like we can in assigns etc.) we can easily clarify what we want to do in a specific filter. This increases the readability of the application.

[Ideas] Allow Integration Studio to connect to Visual Code rather than Visual Studio

Visual Studio only comes in a free community version, which is not always allowed at enterprise customers. If they do not already have Visual Studio, it would be nice if the integration studio could open the project in Visual Code.

That way Integration Studio could also be made to work on Mac as Visual Code also works on Mac.

[Ideas] Automatically icon color for actions from producer modules according discovery classification

Hi guys, we use something similar here, but we do it manually.


We know that good architecture is very important in our projects. It is a wonder if we could see in our tree view the actions and other dependencies with the same color they were classified in the discovery tool.


For instance: library modules can have the default icon green and core modules a default color orange.


So, when you are in a green module and try to consume an action from the core module, you can see you are doing something wrong directly on your tree view and safe time to run the discovery and check this later.


Even the developer who is not so expert in 4LC can help to keep the architecture in the right lines.

[Ideas] Show the label of a static entity in debug mode.

When in debug mode, only the ID of a variable with a static entity identifier is shown. When such a static entity has an autonumber on the ID it makes it more tedious to figure out what the actual/logical value is.

[Ideas] Master Class on Modeling Business Processes (BPT) problems with starting 'Hands-on-challenge'

As this course is built in an older OutSystems version there are some differences which can be overcome but following the instructions to the letter before starting the challenge can result in unknown errors. Debugging this can be very frustrating and time consuming. For Instance I get a error message that ActivityId #0 is not  available. This is strange because nowhere in the course there is a mention that the ActivityId is not automatically available. I went back to the start of the course and retraced my steps and checked everything. After a 1-hour search I still cannot find the fault. This is frustrating because now I can do two things: skip the challenge which would render the course less effective or search until hell freezes over. It would be nice if you can start the challenge by downloading the application so that you can either search for the problem in your own version or crack on with the challenge.

[Ideas] Navigation/Tabs in SilkUI make number of tabs dynamic

Would it be possible to set the number of tabs required by an input parameter on the navigation\tabs webblock? 

Sometimes the standard 5 tabs are not enough and to add more tabs you need to clone and customise the component, adding to your AO count.

[Ideas] Allow to export a list of resources (e.g. by dragging them out of the eSpace onto a Windows folder)

Currently there is no way to extract the full list of resources (with their directory structure) onto a Windows folder. This could be done through selection and right-click or by dragging the whole lot out of the eSpace.


This is extremely useful when you have Javascript library-based components structured in multiple files (e.g. CKEditor http://ckeditor.com/). With the current Service Studio, maintaining the resource structure requires a lot of effort (file-by-file!)

[Ideas] Reminder to mark as solution

Sometimes people forget or simply give up on getting an answer for something asked a while back. Maybe I got the answer by myself and forgot to provide it to the community.


X days after the last answer received in a post I started that has not a "Mark as Solution", I should receive a reminder to:

  • pick a solution;
  • give more information;
  • mark as no longer needed.

It's not a big deal. Support sends very frequent mails asking for inputs.

My suggestion is one 1 month after and a second 3 months after. They can even be grouped in a single email (on the 1st of March a summary of January pending questions).


(And a date filter so you don't bomb everyone with 300 emails related  to 10-year-old posts)

[Ideas] Logic quality/simplification suggestions

It takes time to get into the Outsystems mentality coming form the .Net background. A feature I would love to see is dynamic suggestions to simplify logic. Sometimes I just tend to put all the if else blocks and loops to just suffice to the logic I need. But surely there are better ways to do the same.

 A functionality similar to what resharper(and many other plugins)  provides in .Net where it suggests optimized loops, LINQ and conditional statements would be really helpful here I think.

[Ideas] default datatype should be integer instead of decimal in integration studio (in oracle and foreign keys)

The 'import entity wizard' of the integration studio can be enhanced.
The default datatype for Foreign Key Columns is decimal with 0 decimals instead of integer. 
 
It would be far more efficient if the wizards set the datatype to integer if there are 0 decimals. 
Further, it would be nice if the wizard sets the primary key as attribute identifier.
 
This would save a lot of time.

[Ideas] Open an eSpace in version 7.0 and "Save As" in a previous version

Some components are published in the network in version 7 or 6, but you are running a previous version. Just like a higher version of SS knows how to open a previous version eSpace, it could know also how to save it as those previous versions.

Just like MSOffice, where you can open a docx and save it as a doc, for word97 compatiibility.

[Ideas] Multiple Tabs in Mobile (Tabs Widget)

Hi all,


It would be good to have multiple tab contents in TAB widget. Currently, it allows me only to add 5 tabs and its relevant content.

And also it should allow adding Tab headings from the database.

For Example,

Consider I am having a static entity Named Categories which have 8 records.

I should be able to add that static entity to the Tabs heading, which will automatically create 8 tabs for me.


Thanks,

Keerthi

[Ideas] Audit-logging in milliseconds or ticks

It used to be fine when you have audits on seconds, but with many audits/special logging the need for ticks is increasing.

Especially you can target performance-issues better!


so, include milliseonds or tickjs even in the audit-log!

I think it would be really nice to be able to have our user actions separated be categories, just like the built-in ones are.

This would really help when you are creating big projects or when you're trying to consume from a project with which you are not completely familiar.
