[Ideas] No Operation element for better organize the diagrams

$
0
0
When having complex diagrams it's common to place empty Assign Elements to visually organize it (most of the times to avoid crossing lines)

Example:



To better show that those elements aren't relevante for the logic we should have the possibilty to place NOP (No Operation) nodes.

Possible solution example:



[Ideas] Properties Pane: change properties for selected widgets

I'd like the posibility to select multiple widgets and then in the properties pane the properties that are not unique to a widget can be edited. For example, when selecting multiple radiobuttons I want to set the destination and style once for all radiobuttons.

[Ideas] Automatically set Comment as reminder by prefix

$

When I create a comment, it would be nice if there was an automatic way to set it as a reminder. For instance, if I use a specific prefix like "TODO:" or "FEATURE:" it would always be set as a reminder, and show up in the TRUECHANGE list!

[Ideas] Add more options to improve performance

As a developer or Dba-er, I want to be able to

- change the default sort order of indexcolumns (default true)

- create function based indexes

- specify the index type

- turn on and define table partitioning.

I would like to have the platform to create columns using a column order which normally gives the best performance. (based on mandatory, datatype and length of the attribute)


[Ideas] SEO rules -> add import/export functionality for the eSpace alias list

Hello,

It would be an improvement if it's possible to export and import the eSpace alias list from the seo rules section. Now you always must check manually if every environment has the same rules. The page rules also have this option, so why not add it here also.

[Ideas] Comment out logic / Disable tools in action flow

$
0
0


Sometime you work on a certain part and are not able to finish certain parts, or want to skip certain parts, like complex queries.

Then it would be great to disable or, comment out certain tools in the action flow. so you don't have to worry about them now.

Perhaps they are not complete yet, or unusable.


With an if-block, it would always follow the true-line, it would skip the for-each etc. etc.

[Ideas] Logic simplification suggestions : similar to one Resharper provides in .Net

$
0
0

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] [ServiceStudio] NullDate in web service.

$
0
0
When a NullDate is outputed in a web service response; It's value will represent 1900-01-01T00:00:00

There should be a web service properity, in ServiceStudio, where the user can set the web service method, NullDate default value, either he wants to leave the default outsystems value of 1900-01-01T00:00:00 or specify a blank value for NullDate.

Please compile with s
tandard behaviour.

Standards are important to us.

[Ideas] Improve Timer Schedule

$
0

Timers are great and very helpfull, but the Service Studio schedule form it's not "developer friendly".


Most of the time I need a timer to run every 15 or 30 minutes. To do that with Service Studio I need to pick every time interval in a list.

Wouldn't be simplier if I could just say that I want something to run every XX minutes?

Why can I do this in Service Center and not in the Service Studio? To save some clicks sometimes I have to create a timer, publish the espace, go to service center, and edit the timer. Again, this is not "developer friendly"..


Version 8 is all about UI and great apps. The IDE deserves to be great also!


It could be just a form like Windows Scheduled Tasks, or at least just the "repeat task" section.

[Ideas] Advanced Search in Service Studio

$
0
0
What I personally mis at the moment is advanced search and showing result options of the search in Service Studio. For example, I only want to see all the "Feedback_Message" that have exactly that name. So I hit CTRL+F and type that in. The result I get include everything that has "Feedback_Message" written somewhere on that element. I my case, I don't want them to show. So besides sorting on 'Name', I would like to be able to rightclick 'Name' and 'Property' and opt out everything that doesn't have "Feedback_Message" as name or Name as property.

Even more practical would be if it was possilbe to set these parameters before clicking the search button, and the ability to change them after the search is done.

[Ideas] Mobile OutSystems Apps to Support Android Intents

[Ideas] Event lifecycle handlers in web-blocks in web apps

$
0
0

Hello Everyone,


We know that OutSystems mobile development provides the event handlers on blocks. Examples: OnInitialize, OnReady, OnRender, OnParameterChanged etc.


It would be great if some of these event handlers were also provided for web application development in OutSystems.


I can think of a good usecase for the  "OnParameterChanged"event handler.

Whenever parent screen/webblock changes its data , it will cause the parameters used by the child webblock to change.

We generally require to refresh the child webblock from the parent screen action - to trigger re-render of the child webblock. If the parameters are changed, it would be ideal to have the child webblock itself re-render again. This is very much like the "reactive" model followed by many new frameworks. 

Other event handlers for the web-block render lifecycle would also be useful.

Another advantage would be:  the developers would be following a similar programming model on both mobile and web applications. If are able to make the differences smaller between both development types (mobile and web) - it would be great.

Chetan

[Ideas] Site Property right-click allows developer to jump to ServiceCenter

$
0
0

Many times during development it's necessary to either check or modify the Effective Value of a Site Property.  It would be great if you could right-click on a site property in Service Studio and have the option to jump to its value page Service Center.


i.e. In this menu there would be an additional option "Manage Site Property":


Clicking that option would take you here:


There is additional complexity involved with multi-tenant site properties, but perhaps it could navigate you to the Site Property for the tenant you have configured to Test Queries in Service Studio...  Just a thought.


[Ideas] Add Version 10 option without installing SSL certificate

OutSystems Version 10 requires the installation of the SSL certification.
But We want to use it without installing SSL certificate.  
Therefore, We want an installation option to be SSL installation-free.


[Ideas] Expose the data in your Outsystems application via OData

Expose the data in your Outsystems application via an OData service (RESTful API). Just rightclick on the entity and the rest is done for you, including security, streaming and paging. The data is queryable from the outside. The data can be used in Excel, LinqPad, PowerBI, Tableau, and a number of other BI solutions. 

[Ideas] Replace confirmation message 'Alert' with something like 'SweetAlert2'

OutSystems confirmation messages are simple alert() javascript functions. This are ugly, not costumizable and lack functionality.
They could be improved using a project like SweetAlert2:

[Ideas] Move action to another espace

$

Select an action and move it to another espace from service studio alone. The destination espace should publish immediately and the current espace should automatically add a reference to the new one, replace the usages in the current espace, and show an "Impact analysis" of what other espaces were using the old action (if that is the case)

[Ideas] Wizard to add new filter to Search screens (Dragging entity/structure attribute to the Filters Container)

$
0
0
I waked-up today thinking on this!
 
The OS team provide us with simple and beautiful wizards to create almost anything in service studio. That's great, but one of the most annoying tasks is "adding new filter to search screen", typically the developer needs to add fields to the structure handling filters, drop widget to screen, label it, map it to session variable, filling source record list (if combobox), add it to the query, filling the parameter source and finally add SQL condition.
 
That's a lot of work for one of the most common tasks! I'm certain that OS team can find a way to implement this when developer drags entity/structure attribute to the Filters Container.
 
If this comes to reality, it'll be one of the big boosts of OS productivity!
 
Thanks
