Hi there!
Today we have a shortcut to multiple select from a point on flow to the end.
When we try to do that inside a foreach or loop (with IF), the use of shortcut "ctrl+shift+click on flow action" selects the entire flow to the end.
If we could add a key, like "ctrl+shift+alt + click on flow action" and then select all after the click, but only until the end of the for each.
It'd be nice to have the Reminders on another tab so they are separate from the Warnings. I've been using these to jump to locations in the code. More like Bookmarks within the code base and I think it'd help larger teams be more explicit about where things are within the systems:
Hi Team,
Need option to convert server action for user created action at screen level
Thanks!
Out UI needs to meet certain standards to make sure we haven't broken responsiveness or haven't broken rules to ensure the pages meet accessibility standards. It would be great to add True change custom warnings to cover this. Also certain warnings should allow a page to be deployed in Development instance but not promoted to test or Prod until they are cleared.
I'm sure this is already out there somewhere but I can't find it. It would be nice if there was a date column on the discussion list for forge components where we could see when the thread was last commented.
Can we please get a Total bar at the bottom of each page for the table records widget, this is one very sorely missed feature that takes a lot of unnecessary time
It would be great if we have the possibility of exporting an excel list with all the applications on the environment, their type, last modification date and the user who did it.
Thanks for the attention
Hi,
We are currently using several components that can trigger as subscribed application when something has added, changed or delete. This of components like Azure Storage Accounts (Blob, Table and Queue), Azure Servicebus, Azure DevOps, Microsoft Teams and a whole more. All these components provide a SDK that allows me to subscribe to certain events. This would allow me, in traditional C# applications, to act on notifications that these subscriptions incur.
In OutSystems I can use the Integration Studio to use the SDK and create a subscription on the various components. What I'm currently missing is probably 2 things;
1. A method in Integration Studio created Actions to trigger Events, just like WebBlocks can. This would allow me to create a listener in OutSystems that can act on the event and start certain actions.
2. A method to make sure that this action is loaded and being kept alive in my OutSystems application. Traditionally I would register such an component in the configuration section of the Startup class. I have no idea if and how to do this in OutSystems.
By not being able to do this natively in OutSystems I will need to create more components to do the same action. I would need to create an API in OutSystems that can receive the Event payload and start the required actions. But I would also need a 3rth party tool (Like Azure Logic Apps or Azure Functions) to mediate between the OutSystems application and the required components. This is causing a lot of effort to keep my application from running as expected. I suddenly also need a lot more knowledge (of the 3rth party tools), monitor these, keep up with the changes of this tool so that I don't get to much technical debt and more. Not to mention the added costs of the 3rth party tool.
Note that the Azure tools I mentioned have their counterparts with almost all other cloud server providers like AWS, Google and Facebook. Using these cloud tools is really getting normal and companies are expecting that we can consume these components easily and cost efficient with OutSystems.
Hi,
Please find the attached letter with all the information about what we are doing as a company.
Kind Regards,
Pule
I see this as an advantage for organizing your Service Studio. Not by only giving the application the right naming conventions, but also giving them some kind of color. This to get a glance on which app is what. Icons are helping of course, but having the same icons (for example the same organization) could be a bit confusing, as well as reading the name of the application that could take a bit more time.
Maybe a colored corner (or colored bottom or upper bar) of each tile, which could be set by each user, could help by organizing the apps in Service Studio. Use a color for example test apps, the different layers etc.
I have came to build my own Actions in C# and import them using Integration Studio, the actions work well and everything is fine, but one of my input parameteres is a PASSWORD, and of course I want this input field in OutSystems to be masked somehow, but I am not sure if this is possible at the moment, as in Integeration Studio I need to map the data types of these input parameteres, and so far it's a string/text data type, so it would be great if there's a way around that and have the PASSWORD Input Masked in OutSystems whenever using this specific action.
Like when adding an SAP Function and provide the passowrd of the account, it's masked:
It would be nice to have an option to clone/duplicate an application in Service Studio in the application detail view like we have the option to edit and remove.
And also it would be nice to have the option to do the same to the modules inside but as an option.
If I miss and hit "merge" instead of "dependencies" button I would like to have possibility to cancel "Comparing... " immediately. There is a cancel button but on click it become inactive and popup is not closed for several seconds. At this point I'm blocked and can't force close popup and have to wait for some background process to end.
The past days I have been collecting some UI issues on the version 11.6.2 build 3878 (the most recent one) of OutSystems Service Studio, in onder to report them at once. As well, some ideas came regarding UI improvements.
BUGS
- Dropdown to Select Null Identifier: Attached video "SelectNullIdentifierBug.mp4", showing that when clicked on the right side of the dropdown, it is supposed to open the list of null options to select and instead of that, It's placing the default option of the "NullIdentifier()";
- Counting consumer modules when Find for Usages in all modules: According image "ServiceStudioBug.png" it is displaying a message stating "9 usages found in 4 consumer modules", but the number of modules are wrong. The usages are in 2 modules. Also, It's not necessary to display modules which don't have usages;
- When editing an static entity using the dialog box and entering the first character, it junts to the row below creating multiple records. Video: "EditStaticEntityBug.mp4";
- After the delete of elements in the Widget tree, the selection is changed to the nearest parent or sibling on the tree, but the Styles menu is not updated. Please see video "ServiceStudioInterfaceBugs.mp4";
- When duplicating or copying a webblock that uses the webblock's runtime identifier, Service Studio stopy recognizing the webblock's name. Please check attached picture "BugCopyingWebBlocks.png".
IMPROVEMENTS
- When copying text functions it would be nice to bring also the dependencies. Please see video "WhenCopyFunctionsShouldBringDependencies.mp4";
- When clicking on the "=" (equal sign) of the assign to select the value to be assigned and it is a static entity identifier considering It has already an expression on it (not only the static identifier but something else), it should open the text editor dialog instead of the list of the static entity options. Please see video "WhenExpressionAlreadyHasExpressionShouldOpenIt.mp4";
- To better organize the logic in order to looks like an object programming hierarchy, it should allow us to create subfolder inside folder for logics and entities. Please see enclosed picture "CreateSubFolders.png";
- When copying static images applied to screens from one module to another, it should prompt if the programmer wants to create a dependency placing the image as public or if wants to also copy the image.
I am expecting in outsystems that the user can interact with their data in the database with a tool or by adding an option to add delete or modify the records in the table will be cool.
Like the image below,
As a developer, I need to set events in preparation of web blocks, so that P11 event widgets in web blocks can be dragged and drop into preparation flow.
Visual example:
Adding support for the SQL inbuild georgraphy datatypes and functions would be extreemly useful particularly with the growing use of GPS location services on mobile devices.
It would be nice if you could make the Service Studio frames movable so programmers can move them around the screen, including moving the 4 layer tabs independent of the frames below it.
(similar how Eclipse allows you to place frames anywhere to your liking)
Example: I have to keep dragging my center bar back and forth to see the debug button. Make the 3 objects in that frame responsive so when the frame is compressed, they become stacked. (see attachment)
