Add multiple rows of data to single category

Mon, 13 Jan 2020 14:58:22 +0000

We would like to create a 1:n relation in a category (or something similar which can create the same result). We've got many cases where we would like to use this method, but I will try to explain my question using one example.

We would like to register multiple learning goals of an employee, linked to one document. This learning goal consists of several fields like description, progress, feedback and deadline.

The closest existing functionality in Efficy is linking multiple products (in the shopping card grid) or actions (in the action grid) in the edit-mode of a document. The downside of these existing functionality is the complexity with creating complete entities.

It would be ideal if we just can add an extra table to the database. This table contains the K_DOCUMENT, a unique key for each row, and the fields for adding the values we would like to see.

See screenshot below for the mockup of the result we would like to achieve.

Using details in Excel Template

Fri, 02 Aug 2019 12:27:08 +0000

Hello,

I am wondering if the 11.3 came with an enhancement for Excel merge templates.
From what I have found on here, we can't use the GetTable tag when working with XLS or XLSX templates.
Does someone know if this specific point is fixed ?

My need is that I have to do an Excel file which would contains a list of bills from a Custom Entity named Bills. So I need to use some filters to get only the bills I want (like only unpayed one) and format them in an Excel file. Ideally, I would have one Excel sheet per bill's kind.

Best regards,
Sébastien

Line break in script for an email template

Thu, 13 Sep 2018 15:39:34 +0000

Hello,

someone knows how to make a line break in a script for the running of a runscript for an email template.

I want to replace the splash in this function with a line break

var nature = " ";
    var entyDS = Efficy.GetMasterDataSet(ContextHandle, 0);
    if(!entyDS || entyDS.IsEmpty) return "$$ENCODE$$" + nature;
    entyDS.first();
    while(!entyDS.EOF) {
        if(entyDS.FieldByName("F_STATUT").asFloat)
            nature = entyDS.fieldByName("R_F_NATURE_NIVEAU_1").asString+' / '+entyDS.fieldByName("R_F_NATURE_NIVEAU_2").asString+' / '+entyDS.fieldByName("R_F_NATURE_NIVEAU_3").asString;
        entyDS.next();
    }
    return nature;

I thank you in advance,

Sincerely, Jean.

Export products in document to Excel template

Thu, 05 Jul 2018 17:31:12 +0000

I am struggling with creating a descent Excel template which can contain the complete content of the shopping cart of a document.

I found this (Efficy2012) explenation of a RTF-template, but I did not manage to get the same result with Excel: https://help.efficy.com/user/e2012_templates_example_detailtable

[$GetRtfTable("Prod", filter=" quantity=0" sum=Total)]
<#H=Name> <#H=Quantity> <#H=Price> <#H=Total><#repeat>
<#F=Name> <#F=Quantity> <#F=Price> <#F=Total></#repeat>
<#sum> <#F=Total></#sum>
[/$]

When creating a template in Excel I only manage to export the first first. How to solve this?
Or in other words: how to use 'repeat' In excel?
