[Ideas] add empty node or place holder in actions

Quite often when creating an action and using an if statement or a loop the path arrows overlap leaving me with the choice of rearranging the whole action so that both paths show or to use an empty assign node.

My suggestion would be to have an "empty node" available that we could use to divert the path. Or that we could use as a temporary placeholder for an action/element that will be added later (the empty node would be replaceable by just hovering over it with the intended element the same way as we can currently do with an end and destination node)

This would allow us to prototype/structure actions quicker without abusing the assign nodes.

I know that Outsystems has integrated SAST scans with every build created. But I don't think it still executed DAST scans at any point of time. This should be taken into consideration since DAST is equally important as SAST.

Hi,

I would like IP information to be always visible, maybe on the right side next to / below license information, development mode and date.

Thanks.

I know, you can open the screen "Translations" and select which content you want to translate and click in "Filter by the selected element in the eSpace", but sometimes it is hard to find which label, expression or content message that I want to translate . A shortcut to the "Translations" would help in this task.

Hi,

At the moment it is not possible to see who downloaded what (applications, modules, solutions and extensions) and when in servicecenter. It would be nice that this is logged in the general logging, like you can see in the attached example.

Cheers,

Tim

This plugin https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-plugin-network-information/ should be either part of core or support by OutSystems. Most of mobile apps will need this for detecting network information.

Instead of using local Excel files, 

Users might prefer to make use of Google Spreadsheets of Office 365 Excel files.

Service Studio could provide as an additional option to import Data from Excel, 

the possibility or having a link to a Google Drive Spreadsheet or Office 365.

Hi guys,

i have a few complexed advanced queries that has a lot of inputs and usually i copy/paste the query executed sql to management studio and tweak it from there.

What do you think if the executed sql includes the variable declaration? The purpose of this is that we don't need find and replace all variables and change it only one time on query header. 

Here's an example:

From:

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

SELECT      [Fields]
FROM      [Table]
WHERE      [Field] = @InputId

To:

declare @InputId int = 

SELECT
     [Fields]
FROM      [Table]
WHERE      [Field] = @InputId

Kind regards,

Guilherme Jesus

Hey guys,

Right now we must define 'User Exceptions' and define a specific 'Exception Flows Handlers' for each one of them. Sometimes I would like to handle 2 or more different 'User Exceptions' the same way but the flows cannot cross.

I know that I can duplicate the flow or create an action for it... but wouldn't be possible to implement the 'cross exception flows' or have something like 'ExceptionType' the same way we have the 'ExceptionMessage'? That way we can handle each 'ExceptionType' the way we want (for example, with a 'Switch') .

Specialty in large factories with many applications and developers is very common wanting to know what were the last changes implemented by a certain developer or the last changes made to a certain object (ex: an action).

The search criteria should include:

a person

an object

a date interval

It would be very useful if we could put TAGs on service studio comments.

It would allow to provide some structure to comments that we put in service studio.

These TAG's should be searchable with the Find tool in Service Studio, across all applications (similar to find usage).

This improvement would allow developers to better document their code, inside the platform, giving the same tag to similar documentation.

Then it we would be easy to search, for instance, all actions that apply a certain business rule, provided that all those comments share the same or part of the same TAG.

It would be very helpful if the data type was also visible as part of the tooltip when hovering over a variable in an assign statement. The text Left side of the assignment does not really add any value as it is quite obvious that it is the "left side" of the assignment.

Scientific and Accounting systems often use percentages and ratios that need more decimal places to reduce errors in differences when they are applied to other numbers.

For example, with 1 decimal, splitting $100 into thirds results in a loss of $10.

1/3 = .3, .3*100 = 30, 30*3 = 90. Off by 10.

with 2 decimals

1/3 = .33, .33*100 = 33, 33 * 3 = 99. Off by 1.

As you can see from the math above, increasing decimals places we can use will let us do math more accurately.

When using a date with value equal to null date it doesn't make a lot of sense to show the default date 01-01-1900. We end up doing 

if(MyDate = NullDate(), "",  MyDate)  a lot in for example in expressions in table records.

To me it is strange that OutSystems helps  you al lot, but then here we have to manually code an if.

It would be nice to have the ability to specify certain Input Parameters as default for a created Entry.  When this entry is used, the Destination screen is called, with that Entry's designated Input Parameters

For Example

Page X is the landing page for new users.  New users could be coming from a variety of Partners.  The landing page generates different branded content for each Partner based on a PartnerId input.

You can have SuperAwesomePartnerEntry that points to that landing page with the correct PartnerId specified. While OtherCoolPartnerEntry points to the same landing page now with a different PartnerId specified. 

You can give out www.mysite.com/OtherCoolPartnerEntry.aspx instead of 

www.mysite.com/PartnerEntry.aspx?PartnerId=11

I think this feature could help extend the usability of Entries, which as of now I do not have much use for.

Please add entity action for delete all as  DeleteAll or take list of ids as a input for multi delete.

Thanks!

Let me start by describing a scenario that happens often that this function will solve:

You create a Screen. You add a piece of text that is from a lookup table. You have an ID of the item, let's say Countries. You create the Countries entity, which gives you a GetCountry() method.

If you pass a ZERO to the GetCountry() method, or any value for which there is no country, you get an Error from OutSystems that looks like this:

In this case, if I had been able to say:

CountryCode = 46;

TryCatch(GetCountry(CountryCode).Country.Name,"Invalid Country Code " + CountryCode)

Life would be lovely.

Would love to see a functionality where I could get an option to create a local variable directly out of an aggregate. I guess in turn it would have to even create a structure for the aggregate output behind the scenes. Have come across a couple of scenarios lately where this can be helpful.
