edit categories in designer and all definition in designer

Fri, 22 Nov 2024 14:24:09 +0000

Hey everyone,

I have a client who would like the date (ACTIONS.D_BEGINS) not to be editable. Is this done well in the designer?

I also take advantage of this message to ask you what are the other definitions for the fields in the designer?

Can we add a not standard translation for a lookup value ?

Tue, 18 Jul 2023 11:33:09 +0000

Hello,

Can I had a translation in IT (Italian) for my custom lookup?

The "Add Langage Field" of the designer doesn't offer IT as a choice for translation. Can I do it in another way? Or trought SQL?

Thanks in advance.

FormFieldEdit: display two decimals in edit

Mon, 04 Jul 2022 15:13:34 +0000

Sorry if the question have been asked before, but I could not find it in Overflow.

Question: I want to have two decimals in edit:
For example 2.8 ==> wanted display by the customer: 2.80 in edit.
(Show always two decimals, followed by an zero, even if it was rounded to one decimal)

This is what I tried:
(1e try) Efficy Designer:
Fieldname => "F_MILAGECOSTS"
Type => currency
Precision => 2
Screen Format => #.00

(2e try) FormFieldsEditCustom.txt definition:
field.CURRENCYB {[
<%GetEdit("$FIELD$", class="text-end", inputargs=|inputmode="numeric"|, precision=2)%>
]}

Does somebody have a solution for me?

Why the user is linked to himself in ACC_GROUPS table ?

Mon, 17 May 2021 08:43:09 +0000

For one of our customer, we have a synchronization of the users with an LDAP.

SQL queries where used to create the user, the user where correctly created and he could connect to Efficy. But sometimes he could not access records.

After an analysis we remarked that the difference between creating the user from Efficy Designer and the creation through our SQL statement was that the user is linked to himself in the ACC_GROUPS table.

I would like to know/ to understand why such rule exist and what it is used for.

Is it possible to log changes done on ACC_ACCOUNTS and ACC_GROUPS tables ?

Thu, 22 Apr 2021 08:01:03 +0000

For a customer, we have an interface that is creating the users from their Active Directory.

We would like to log the changes to the tables ACC_ACCOUNTS and ACC_GROUPS in order to check if the modification done are done from the Efficy Designer by a specific user or by the interface we created.

Is it possible to log those changes ?

Designer 11.3: error when applying structure to add new field

Efficy 11.3 - 23072 - Auto Change not working

Fri, 11 Dec 2020 08:36:22 +0000

In Designer the fields are configured as follows :

In Efficy 2012 it worked fine, but now in the new 11.3 the auto-fill in of the fields next to the dropdowns doesnt work anymore. Is this a known issue, or do we need to do some custom to activate this ?

Designer or Efficy user Switch or replacement

Mon, 04 May 2020 13:54:42 +0000

Dear all,

A customer asked if there is a functionality in Efficy/Designer to switch users. For instance a user leave the customer company and the customer wants to replace a new user by this leaving user.
This means that all records created or secured by the old user should be replaced by the new user.

In Efficy Standard, I could not find such functionality. Does any one has done something similar?

The first Idea I had is to reuse the "Old" user rename it and change its password for the new user. But the customer wants to keep track of the historical's changes done by the old user.

Tooltip only appears in English interface ?

Fri, 07 Feb 2020 16:09:07 +0000

The "HINT" from SYS_FIELDS is only shown when logged in with the English language. When logged in with the Dutch (or any other) language, it's not shown at all.

How to show the same hint when logged in with any other language than EN ?

"Copy Database" (structure only) does not copy the customs form (and the workflow by the way)

Tue, 10 Sep 2019 14:57:16 +0000

Hello,

Is this normal that when I want to copy a database (11.3), I don't get the sys_forms customs (with the option "structure only") ?

In my opinion, I should have them. I get the customs fields from sys_fields, why not the custom forms ?

is it possible to attach a product to a document without activating docu$invoicing on 11.3.18130.0

Thu, 22 Aug 2019 15:08:58 +0000

Into the new 11.3 (Build 11.3.18130.0 2019-06-28 11:03) the activation of the category doc$invoice is mandatory to access to the Plus Button to add a product.

Should I understand R&D decided to block all link to a document if product is not use to create invoice ?
It's a problem in that case. Lot of my customers use documents linked to products to add Pictures or technical PDF description. Then use gallery into product to show pictures and technical detail of the product.

So do you know if it possible to bypass that without any customization. Maybe there is something to parameter into designer ? The only solution for the moment to me is to activate the category by default into the document. But it's stupid !

Efficy 11.3 Database Setting, why is there ~ and not the database default value?

Wed, 31 Jul 2019 09:34:10 +0000

Since Efficy 11.3, a lot of Database Storage (SYS_STORAGE) have been moved to Database Settings (new SYS_SETTING) table.

But when we look in the values of the Database settings, we have a lot of "~" characters, how to find the default Database values that will be replaced by the "~" ?

Why are the references in the Designer limited to the rights on them?

Thu, 27 Jun 2019 12:36:16 +0000

Hi,

I've noticed that since I don't know when that a user is only seeing the references which they have rights on. This is unwanted behavior for user administrators which creates references. In this way it's possible that a user administrator is creating a duplicate reference as it's possible that it's a reference which they don't need to have rights on.

Is there a way for a user administrator to see by default all the references?

Best regards,
Jeroen

Where is the SSO information stored as of Efficy 11?

Tue, 28 May 2019 08:33:54 +0000

Hello,

Might be a simple question, but where is the sso information stored in the database (see printscreen)?

In versions prior to 11 this was stored in ACC_ACCOUNTS (SSOID) but this isn't the case as of version 11.

Thank you for the clarification.

Regards,
Ken

label translation via Efficy designer for fields having the same name in different entities (i.e. email1)

Thu, 27 Oct 2016 14:21:59 +0000

We received a question from a customer rearding an issue with the Translation of field Labels in the designer.

If they translate the field label for field “comp.email1” the translation for field “cont.email1” is also changed.
The mentioned behavior seems to occur on all fields having the same name but located in different Entities (i.e. a change of the label for “docu.name” will also change the label of “prod.name” )

This issue was transfered to Efficy Support, see the answer below.

How can I change a Label of a Section in a Form; "Address" to "Personal address"

Tue, 05 Apr 2016 13:25:18 +0000

How can I change the Label of a Section in a Form?
For example change Label at "Contact edit", section "Address"
to "Personal address".

Translations at Efficy designer, does not seem to work.
Every time when I try to save a Label, it does not save anything.
Is it a bug probably?
