How to reset user (using SetUsers true) except resources.

Tue, 16 Nov 2021 13:02:32 +0000

I want to reset users into the workflow but I need to keep all users like resources.
Is there a quick way to do that with an Efficy function ?

My only alternative way is to check user before reset, identify the ressources and add them into my varArrayOf users I want to set.

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.

Differences between "setUserSecurity" and the combination of "setSecurityUsers" + "postSecurity " (with securitylist)

Tue, 08 Jan 2019 13:39:29 +0000

Hello Efficy Team,

I would like to know the difference between "setUserSecurity" and "setSecurityUsers" + "postSecurity " (with securitylist).

As I understand from from the documentation, "SetSecurityUsers" add user with their default securities (defined in conficy) and "postSecurity" is the function to apply those security to the record (but what if we don't call postSecurity ? What append ?). I never used it, I am not even sure I understand it correctly.

I saw the new "securitylist" provided in Efficy 11.2. Could the R&D provide an exemple ?

Thanks a lot,

Loïc

Let the user change the password after the expiration period has passed?

Hi,

is there a possibility to let the user change it's password after the expiration period has passed? I've tried to open the Password change page, but then the session is already lost.

How do I get the CurrentUserID when creating a case from Outlook ?

Tue, 27 Sep 2016 10:09:13 +0000

Hi everyone!

At EasyCash they have created a new custom field "Department" which is mandatory.
Then when they tried to save email from Outlook it did not work because that field was not filled in.
I modified the workflow to set the current user's role as the "department".
My problem is that the department which is set is always the same, for every users.

After investigation, I found out that when i call the CurrentUser() method, Efficy returns the value zero (0), but only when the email comes from Outlook. So i can not get the right K_ROLE.

So my question is: "How do I get the ID of the user which create that case from Outlook?"

Thanks,

Prince

CUSTOM Views And Function on CHILD DB

Thu, 11 Dec 2014 15:22:18 +0000

When doing standard SQL queries we use the following code to get the right user in DB which is good when using Child Database :

<#TABLE name='COMPANIES'> COMP

But do we have such example when we have a call to a Custom Function ?

for instance : Scalar function CUSTOMGETNBPROJECTPERCOMPANY(KCOMPANY)
should be call like this :

[databaseuser].CUSTOM_GET_NB_PROJECT_PER_COMPANY(K_COMPANY)

Can we replace automatically in Efficy the [databaseuser]. like the table name?

Best Regards,
