Support & Services FAQs and Help

Currently using IFS Applications 2003, and I need to make layout changes to some reports generated via StreamServe. The files we have are: .lxf file (layout file) .dux file (data/config file) There are no .rpt (Crystal Reports) files, as these reports are not based on Crystal Reports.I need to add a text label  to the layout, but I’m unable to open or edit the .lxf file. From my research, it looks like I’ll need StreamServe Design Center (formerly known as StreamServe Studio) installed to make these edits.A few questions: What version of StreamServe Design Center is compatible with IFS 2003? Are there any specific installation steps or prerequisites for older versions? Is there an alternative way to edit .lxf files without Design Center? Does anyone have a working installer or link to download the required version? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

When opening an ongoing task in Aurena (Service module), the side panel opens every time. This causes the technicians to have to minimize it each time, which is a minor annoyance. They often use tablets, and the panel takes up a lot of space.Currently, we are on IFS UPD25.Is it possible to have it always minimized? If so, how? Unfortunately, I have limited knowledge regarding Aurena and hope someone can assist with this.When it opens:Minimized: Thanks!

The IFS Cloud 25R1 Deprecation Log lists the fonts that will no longer be available in Report Studio. -Monotype fonts will no longer be available in Report Studio after 25R2-Fonts need to be adjusted to match the new standard (Deja Vu) If IFS is going to disable Monotype fonts and make Deja Vu the standard, I think they need to add Deja Vu to the report font screen as soon as possible. How can I develop layouts using Deja Vu fonts and map them to Japanese fonts to develop reports? <Background>Currently, we are developing reports with IFS Cloud 24R2. Given the above policy, we plan to develop layouts using Deja Vu fonts in Report Studio and map them to Japanese fonts so that we will not be affected when 25R2 is applied in the future. However, Deja Vu is not displayed on the IFS Cloud report font screen. As a result, we cannot map Deja Vu to Japanese fonts.

I was wondering what the correct syntax is for the “starts with” operator. In the technical documentation, I’ve only come across the operator shown in the screenshot below.Does IFS Report Designer support “starts with” and “doesn’t start with” operators?I need to add a visible condition to exclude any records where CHARACTERISTIC_DESC starts with "B36", so they don’t appear in the report.Here’s what I’ve tried so far, but none of these worked:contains(tns:CHARACTERISTIC_DESC, 'b-36')  starts-with(tns:CHARACTERISTIC_DESC, b36)  starts-with(CHARACTERISTIC_DESC, b36)   I would appreciate any tips.Operator Description and Logical-and or Logical-or not() Negation = Equality != Not equal < Less than <= Less than or equal > Greater than >= Greater than or equal

Hi allMy Lobby data source always provides the results for the current and the previous calendar week in the Lobby element.Now, when you click on a row in the Lobby element, the respective calendar week should be considered as the result.If you enter 'actual week' in the navigator filter, it doesn't work, because it always filters only the current week, but never the previous week.How can the navigator filter be set so that it always refers to the row of the selected calendar week? In IFS10, this could be done using 'to_char(field, 'iw').Thanks and br
