Hi experts,This is somewhat of a trivial question. I’m attempting a basic validation on the task line under a requestthe validation is to throw an error if,Material Order Date > Delivery DateDelivery Date > Planned StartThe business rule I created is as following,The business rule works ok. But the validation message is not picking up the task id. It’s appearing as following, What’s the correct way to refer to the fields of the related table in the message?

Can anyone please tell me how to change the REQUEST screen subtitle for where the role REQUESTCREATEUPDATE is removed?  It states ‘Review your RMAs’ vs ‘Review your requests or press Create...’ where the role REQUESTCREATEUPDATE is present for the user.  We want it to just say ‘Review your requests’ for when there is no Create button.  

Hi, We are using Import/Export functionalities in FSM to load engineers as PERSONs records. I cannot find RESOURCE import/export functions. The screens point to THREESIXTY_RESOURCE table but it’s not there. There are 11 threesixty tables available for import/export but not the scheduling resource.Please advise how to import engineer scheduling resources so they can be linked to PERSONs records so we can set their start and end locations and dozen of other parameters? Thanks,Lukasz

We have an issue on the Customer Portal where we can see thumbnails of image attachments, but cant retrieve the actual file (or any file attachment type for that matter), it seems to lock up for a while then get an error when trying to open it. I am assuming that it can ‘read’ the file (or at least the thumbs.db in that folder) for it to be able to show the Thumbnail, or does it produce a Thumbnail via another method.  I am trying to understand why it can retrieve a thumbnail but not the actual file?

Hi all,I am able to run FSM 5.6.3 iOS application in iOS 13 or lower, but not in iOS 14.It keeps crashing when I tap on the person id or service URL text field on the login screen.When I try to run the app on a device that is running iOS 14, I get the following error message in Xcode: Do you have any idea what might be causing this issue? I am using the same code in FSM 5.7 and the login screen is working fine in iOS 14 for FSM 5.7 iOS app.Also, what is the purpose of the Allow Active Architectures property in the Build Settings? Why is this set to No in FSM 5.7 and set to Yes in FSM 6? Should it be Yes or No for FSM 5.6.3? Is this based on the frameworks that are used in the project (Aviary, Telerik, etc)?

Hi, using apps 10 and looking at the resource analysis screen to review available capacity in a work centre and noticed there are two capacity lines 1) capacity unitisation and 2) adjusted capacity.can anyone explain the difference and how to adjust each capacity line?  regardsJamie 

How do we increase log levels to troubleshoot Customer Portal issues?  Is it done via the Server Log on  the Smart Client?

Hi Experts, I have a situation where I need to compare values in a specific column of a specific table to all the other tables which has the same column. This is a FSM database and I need to query the orphan data (Child values which doesn't have parent values) sometimes generated when upgrade scripts are run. As an example, imagine there is a table called "A" and in that table there is a column called "B".There are numerous other tables which has this same column "B". So table A's "B" column is the parent and all other "B" columns are child columns. So other tables' "B" column can't have values which are not in table "A"s "B" column. I need a query to do following things, 1. To know which other tables have this column "B"2. To know which of these columns have invalid values and to show what those invalid values are Can someone suggest a query to do that ?Best Regards,Atheeq

Want to know how we can use 2 query builder in one element designer as a bar graph.

The customer is experiencing crashes on FSM 6u7 while synchronising messages. We applied a fix from R&D for that issue coming from u9, but it didn't fully solve the problem. The apps still crashes when there are a ton of messages to be syncd in the background. Please note that even without Push Notification, the background sync often works. For some users it seems to not work very much in the background. Sometimes it stops altogether and the following gets logged under Privacy / Analytics: Exception Type:  EXC_CRASH (SIGKILL)Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000Exception Note:  EXC_CORPSE_NOTIFYTermination Reason: Namespace SPRINGBOARD, Code 0x8badf00dTermination Description: SPRINGBOARD, <RBSTerminateContext| domain:10 code:0x8BADF00D explanation:scene-update watchdog transgression: application<com.FSM.Mobile.Superior>:360 exhausted real (wall clock) time allowance of 10.00 seconds | ProcessVisibility: Background | ProcessState: Running | WatchdogEvent:

Hi all!We are having problems when it comes to installing FSM on our server:When we are already on this screen:Start installing and give us an error. It manages to install the DB successfully, but gives an error when creating the views, even in the installStatus logs.log says the following: ...completed.  Creating views for FSM 6...Error occurred: Incorrect syntax near 'Microsoft'.  Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure , Line 1. (check installStatus.log or FSM6_CreateViews.log for more info).But that other log you mention is blank. Does anyone know what could be happening? Thanks!

I have an issue whereby when the owner of a task is changed in FSM, the task appears on the new owners device but also remains on the device of the original owner.Any guidance as to what might becausing this would be most welcome as I cannot see anything wrong. This is FSM 6 update 6

Hi Experts, I’m trying to build and debug baseline FSM 6 U 12 Windows Mobile app with visual studio and I’m getting following 3 errors,  Severity    Code    Description    Project    File    Line    Suppression State    Suppression StateError        A numeric comparison was attempted on "$(TargetPlatformMinVersion)" that evaluates to "" instead of a number, in condition "'$(TargetPlatformMinVersion)' >= '10.0.17200.0'".    IFS.FSMW.SQLitePCL.Ext.Universal               Severity    Code    Description    Project    File    Line    Suppression State    Suppression StateError        The system cannot find the file specified.    IFS.FSMW.Mobile    C:\Users\huhalk\OneDrive - IFS\Desktop\MobileWindowsSDK\SDK\IFS.FSMW\IFS.FSMW.Mobile\error PRI175             Severity    Code    Description    Project    File    Line    Suppression State    Suppression StateError        0xdef00071 - File C:\Users\huhalk\OneDrive - IFS\Desktop\MobileWindowsSDK\SDK\IFS.FSMW\IFS.FSMW.SQLitePCL.Ext.Universal\bi

When attempting to use manual dispatch / fixed time / fixed resource the task does not assign to any technician within FSM.We have identified that the update sent to PSO excludes the resource ID when these options are used and seems to be the issue stopping the assignment in PSO. What mechanism generates this XML sent to PSO? How can we modify it? FSM 5.7 Thank you everyone

After a place merge in FSM6U9, the place record gets updated with a new modified_dttm and will be sent to the device in 24 hours (currently configured interval for that sync rule) or if someone clicks on sync now.- place_person doesn't get an updated modified_dttm and therefore will not be sent by the sync rule next time it runs in 3 hours or even if someone clicks on Sync Now. Would this be a limitation of the software or a bug?

Hi experts,I have observed that in the FSM6 UPD12 (Android) Task attachments are available in the device storage > 'com.metrix.metrixmobile' folder > ‘files’ folder only when they are being viewed: i.e. when a pdf. is being viewed by an external app. When I exit from viewing the file, it gets deleted from the above location.But the files seems to be still available somewhere in the phone because I can still open them through FSM app even when there is no internet connection.Is this the expected behavior or is there a way to turn this off? (to make the attachments permanently available in the  'com.metrix.metrixmobile' folder)Thank you,Dulshan.

Hi,I have requirement for bulk task creation on button click. Consider if  there are five task under different requests, based on task type I am changing task status and for status changed tasks we have to create one more task with different task type and different task status and requestid accordingly.Example: task id =102 ,request id =1002 and status = opentask id =103,request id =1003 and status =opentask id =104,request id =1004 and status =opentask id =105 ,request id =1005 and status =openFor all the above tasks status should be changed and 4 more task should be created with different task type and status like task id =121,request id = 1002 and status = holdtask id =122,request id = 1003 and status = holdtask id =123,request id = 1004 and status = holdtask id =124,request id = 1005 and status = hold Please suggest how can I achieve this through client scrip. Regards,Ramya
