Everything about the IFS 10 Lobby.

Hi ADNAN

I created a Link List element and one of those had negative Cash value (example -1223939393.90) the lobby does not show the negative values. IFS 10 version. Here is my community forum link which is not solved yet. Appreciate if you can help with this. Link list -VE value not display

I'll try to help you when you have problems.

@ADNAN Thanks for the information. Would you mind answering the questions 2,3 and 4.

@ADNAN 

I have below questions regarding lobbies. 

1. If we need to use more than one view in the data source designer,  are query builder and using IAL in SQL data source the possible options we have?
2. Where can I find information about my elements?
3. Brief about managing and installing lobby items.
4. The location where lobby data source configuration files should be stored for source code management?

Appreciate your inputs on this regard.

@ADNAN , thanks for offering to help. We configured a few lobby elements recently. one of them only get the X sign instead of the no of PO lines like below. This is only for few users, not all. Can this be something related to their personal profiles? I’m not sure how to check :(

 

 

It might be an access issue i.e. the user doesn’t have access to the view. Which version of IFS is this in? In IEE you can hover over the element to see the error message. If it’s in Aurena, I tend to open Chrome Dev Tools (click F12 on your keyboard and go to the network tab) and then check the error message in preview or response tab for the ‘red lines’

 

Hello

I have one question about lobbys on pageviews. In main lobbys you can define page parameters like on the picture below. 

But I want to develope some lobby elements also to use with different windows, like e.g. customer orders. I have created many data sources and elements, and I manage to connect them on the mapping designer. But I don’t really see how to use or change the parameters? Can you help me?

I have also heard that you can create elements that change if you select different lines in the table. Is that possible?

Hello,

Can I also use my own views without generating an IAL object?
If so, what permissions must be assigned to the view? 

We have created a Quick Information Source from an IAL view and placed it in the Financials folder.  It can be accessed from within the Business Reporter excel add-in tool, but not from the Lobby Datasource Designer.  Is there something we need to do to make it accessible in there that we are missing?

thx

Can Aurena (Apps 10, U9)

display a Lobby Data Element with a Data Source of type QUERY BUILDER that joins two tables?  We have this working in IEE, but same user only sees an “X”  on the lobby page even though permissions AND projections are set properly.

Instead of specifying the company in the URL address use the page parameters within the navigation section e.g.

 

 

Hope this helps.

Hi John, 

Thanks for this. Yes I have tried like you said but it doesn’t work, it just defaults to the default company. Would I have to add something more specific to the datasource though to make this navigation setup work properly? 

Thanks

Hi Alice,

Best solution I can suggest will be to add a parameter to the lobby called: ‘Company’ and update the Data Source with this condition:

This will filter the user’s results per company.

Then on the Element Designer refer to the parameter, then it will update the company correct on the jump:

Hope that helps?

Jacques

You can created another element on the lobby page to update the parameter to the correct database value, before jumping using the solution above:

Instead of specifying the company in the URL address use the page parameters within the navigation section e.g.

 

 

Hope this helps.

Hi Anmise, 

Thanks for offering your help! I have a list type lobby element with a data source looking at the COMPANY field and giving a list of counts for several companies. I would like to use that COMPANY field (e.g. below company 5) in the navigation link without having to use the lobby page parameters. Have you done this before by any chance? In the image below, I would like to click on the line for company 5 where I have 1 record and navigate to the page ‘Instant Authorisation’ for company 5.

Much appreciated,

Alice

I don’t believe it’s possible to pass the value from the element itself to select company, unfortunately. You’ll have to use the page parameters.
