Hi Community! If I open up Page Designer on the Business Activities page (shown below) and look for Attributes on the BusinessActivity entity, some seem to be missing.  These “missing attributes” fall into two categories:There are attributes that exist on the Entity but don’t display as options on the Page Designer, such as DateEntered. It’s possible to see DateEntered on the Query Designer so you know it’s there; you just can’t see displayed on the drop-down list of available Attributes it on the Page Designer. There are also attributes that must surely exist in the database somewhere, but don’t even display on the Query Designer. For example, the identity of the user that created the Business Activity. You can see the identity of the Main Representative of the Customer Account but you can’t see the user who added the record. In some cases, they might be different, no?Can anybody advise if there’s a way to display an attribute in category 1 that is present on the Entity but absent on

Can work Order Planning gantt in IFS Cloud 24R1 be enriched with custom fields?I have a requirement where work order planners need to plan and schedule work orders based on Equipment Object groups.

I have established a position hierarchy in the IFS Cloud HCM module, consisting of Senior Manager, Line Manager, and Field Technician. In each organizational unit, the Line Manager can approve or authorize time cards and expenses for Field Technicians, while the Senior Manager can approve those for Line Managers and Field Technicians.Currently, I have ten organizational units, each with a Senior Manager at the top. This has raised concerns regarding the approval process for these Senior Managers.Here are my questions:Who can approve their time cards and expenses? Can we implement self-approval for them? Can one General Manager position approve time cards for all Senior Managers across different organizational units?What will be best way to handle this situation?A detailed answer or guide to any document will be highly appreciated.

Hi,As title suggests, when i Publish the mobile design on the tablet, it goes to ‘Published’, but when i reintitialise then tablet it reverts back to ‘Pending’. However, on the FSM Smart Client, it remains ‘Published’ but if i assign the design ID to me, and reinitialise my tablet it reverts back to the last published design. If i ‘Publish’ the design again on the tablet and create a new revision (rev 8 now) and publish that straight away, then the FSM Smart Client shows that new published revision, but if i reinitialise my tablet, Rev 7 (the one that wouldnt stay published) goes back to pending and Rev 8 does not appear at all, yet still appears as published (along with Rev 7) on the FSM Smart Client. Any suggestions?  Thanks

Hello,I have a question about documents uploaded in addition to IFS. The file where the documents are kept works with FTP. There is a single file path and it saves the document in a single place without separating the class.With the change of all servers in the company, IFS, FTP etc. servers also changed. The structure we want to create on the new servers is to give different file locations for file classes and save each file in the file location of the relevant class. We can do this scenario.My main problem is that all document classes are in a single path and in the H2 pool on the old server. What I want to do is to be able to view the relevant documents on the old server from the new folder created for the relevant class on the new server.What I really want is to be able to access the documents saved on the old server from the file I opened on the new server.How can I achieve this without making any updates from the database or by updating in a healthy way?

HiApologies if this comes across as a nube question but I don’t have any experience of using the UI Designer for FSM.When I go into the designer and navigate to the Task screen and locate the ActualEnd/actual_end_dttm field and right click it and select Custom Code there is one entry for event AfterValueChanged pointing to a script: The script is TASK_AFTER_ACTUAL_START_END_CHANGE_0. Now although we’re very clearly talking about Smart Client the script ONLY appears to exist for the Web Client (FSM Client Scripts).Can anyone provide an explanation of where the Smart Client script is?ThanksGanners
