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

I have a report in IFS Report Designer, and I want it to only display a table if there is data in it. Currently, if the table doesn't contain any data, the report still prints a blank space or page. How can I modify the report so that the table only appears when there is data to display? I tried playing around with page break functionality but that doesn’t seem to fix the issue.  I assume I have to set up condition but I do not exactly know how to figure out the correct expression to add there...any idea?

Any idea on whats causing this issue particularly for this screen?   Customer Order Lines without site selected in the header... 

I am running into a background job warning that is halting machine downtime information (pulled from an outside source) from showing up in Shop Floor Clocking.The warning message, although points me in the right direction, seems incomplete. It doesn't stop the information from being retrieved into IFS, but it does not appear within the clocking screen which plays a part in overhead transactions and such. Any advice?The log we have withing IFS from the 3rd party tool shows the machine timestamps but when the column “Downtime Recorded” is unchecked, this means it did not transfer to Shop Floor Clocking.
