Is there a way to attach a Photo in Trip Tracker to a Mileage claim? We would like users to attach their fuel receipt when claiming Mileage, however to Photo option does not appear under the Mileage section. The photos option only seems to appear when entering an expense claim in the ‘Receipts’ section. As a work around we have created an Expense Code called ‘FUEL RECEIPTS’ and asked users to attach the claim using this expense code. Expense claims don’t allow 0 value lines so we ask them to enter 0.01. Allow we can default this line to non-reimbursable, it’s not ideal and could easily be avoided if we could add photos via the mileage entries.

Hi, I’m using MPB to schedule work orders and the option priorize critical service is not working right.   Does anyone know what logic IFS uses? E.g. Criticality and Priorite is considered by alphabetic asc order, or line number order, or another else?       tks a lot.

I am trying to create a Fire Roll Call that lists current employees when they are classed as present.    When you look at the Present Employees screen in IFS the view is COMPANY_PERS_ASSIGN_BASIC. The Present column calls the following API to get the result of whether they are present or not:   Time_Pers_Diary_Clock_Util_Api.Is_Present_Offset(company_id, emp_no,null )    and returns a 1 or 0. This was working fine in my Crystal Report but is not available when you add the WEB_UTIL_API.  I have tried adding it as a custom field within the COMPANY_PERS_ASSIGN_BASIC view but cannot seem to get this to work.     How can I get the result of the API into my report?     Any advice gratefully received. 

Hi, Can someone guide me on how to use an image stored in the database table in an operational report? I have stored the image as a blob in the database. And I was trying to fetch the image using a select statement. But, it is not showing the image even though it shows the value of the string when trying to preview the report. Therefore, any idea on how can we call an image stored in the database in the report? Regards, Sachinthani.

Hello,We are in the process of implementing Apps10 and working on the Health and Safety module, specifically Incidents.We would like to use this as our Near Miss and Accident reporting tool, but need to restrict access for users to only allow their entries + adding new. However, due to privacy reasons, cannot display other persons information that may have been injured in an accident (coordinator, reported by, etc.).IFS default a user can see all entries for their respective company. Thanks,Jeff Nattermann

Hello all,   We recently installed BA on a user computer. It appears to work fine in Excel, and will load data. However, when trying to preview the report in IFS itself, in the BA folder, the following error message loads:   “Cannot View File Type .xlsx A Previewer is not installed”.   Obviously, Excel is installed.   Thanks, Rich

why is it that IFS isn’t offering more drop down lists default, following the many ISO agreements? for example, for people’s competencies regarding language skills, there is a standard:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_European_Framework_of_Reference_for_Languages imho, this should be a standard drop down list, under Person. ...or did I not find an existing solution/list yet?

Hello,I Created a lobby for incoming birthdays for persons. I used PERS view for this with prefix &AO.So, when i testing my code sources on IFSAPP account its working good. But when i testing on normal user like (x) its not working.I approved lobby element, code source and lobby element for a dummy permission set. Then i gave this permission set to (x) user, but it did not work.So, my question is if i want to show PERS view records at normal user, is it has to be special permissions like HR manager or something?Only this view (PERS) has problems like that, the other lobbies as i created, working good for normal users.Best regards.

I would like to re-use the Employee Id.  The wrong Person Id was assigned to the Employee Id.  How can I change the existing Employee Id record  to use the correct Person Id?

We are currently in a process of evaluating whether IFS would be a good option to keep track of training and employee (annual) reviews.It would be nice to find an IFS customer who has experience using this, so our HR department could have a short talk about their feeling with this module in IFS. Filiep

Our HR team sometimes have to go in and approve the employees annual leave but it seems to be running very slow and sometimes crashes. This is happening on several PC’s. Does anyone know why this might be?

I was wondering if there is any (planned) interfacing possible, for synchronizing the data/info of courses/certificates of IFS’ Academy, with Apps 10? I had to manually add and assign/enter these:   Since the courses and certifications in IFS’ Academy, I think it would be a good idea to have some sort of interfacing; i.e. a way of synchronizing with Apps 10: - available courses and certifications in IFS’ Academy (as drop down lists/values) - individually received certifications (dates, scores, etc.) and followed courses (dates, locations, etc.)

How can I apply data masking on some confidential fields such as personal private infos? I need to display some confidential private info with “ABC***” format even the user has Access right. After approving a confirmation message the field will be displayed.

Hi everyone,   Is there a way to setup IFS to update update an Outlook calendar with Absence Requests? For example a supervisor could see all absence requests from his team/supervised employees directly on his Outlook Calendar vs having to go to IFS and view each employee’s Absence calendar for a month. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.    Thank you,    Nik
