BPA - Informative user message

@mmol 

Mainly to give this a bump (because I am interested in this as well), but yes, on some other threads the un-reliability of Client_Sys.Add_Info has been remarked upon. It just isn’t implemented in all spots, so if you want to trigger an informative message for an LU where it isn’t in play, you are out of luck.

However, I was all but certain that Cloud BPA supports all sorts of richer client experiences, including warnings and the ability to get further input from the user (LOV choices, yes/no/cancel choices, etc.). Surely there is some other validation type that doesn’t terminate the flow as an error condition, or perhaps even lets the user decide whether to proceed with the save? I remember being at least marginally impressed by an introductory video on IFS Cloud BPA, and that was from well over a year ago. Cloud is supposedly advancing all the time...

If IFS Cloud BPA does not offer a more robust client experience (as in, everything is still an error or it isn’t) then there isn’t much point to it, in my opinion. I hope someone clarifies that and can provide some more recent documentation and/or videos about it.

Thanks for the answer! Do you know of any comprehensive documentation, examples, or training videos on IFS Cloud BPA usage and configuration? It would be of great benefit if we could analyze all it can do…

Thanks,

@sutekh137 ,

Regretfully i do now know of any comprehensive documentation. Mostly just trying out things. Would be good if some (more) documentation would be shared.

We were looking for the same question and were wondering. Is there a way of achieving this with a validation workflow? 

It would be very nice to just expand the validation workflow with an end event with an info message in stead of a failure message? 

would that be possible? Or is using a user task the only option still? We are on 23R2

Hi, could you please create a community Idea on this please so that we can consider this as a future improvement ?

Hi,

Not sure of this has been answered but there are some example workflows in the system you can try as a baseline.

Got to workflows and search for example.  There is a validation workflow as well as a user interaction which may be helpful.  Also serach in tech docs for “Getting Started with Workflows”.
