Is it possible to include an actual clickable Aurena hyperlink inside an automated email body (for example, an email listing a user's pending Purchase Orders, with a direct link to open a specific PO)?
Is it possible to add visualized charts (like pie, bar, or line charts) to a Lobby in IFS10, similar to a BI-style dashboard visual?
Is there an easier way to migrate all Base Profiles from one environment to another, rather than recreating them manually?
How do you reference the live value of an existing standard (non-custom) IFS field inside a Custom Event's PL/SQL action, when the field's containing form was populated via a prior search rather than being newly created?
Lobby elements using a Context Substitution Variable (like #PERSON_ID#) as a default page parameter suddenly become slow to load or don't update at all after an update, even though they worked fine before — but typing the literal value directly into the same parameter instead of the variable restores normal performance. What's going on?
What does the 'Borderless Window' checkbox in Options > Advanced actually control in the classic client?
Is there a way to retrieve a specific Technical Characteristic/Class attribute's value (like a custom Valve Body Model classification) for a given object via SQL, rather than only viewing it through the Attachments/Characteristics section in the client?
Adding a Custom Field to certain standard screens (like Part Catalog's ECO-footprint Part Information) fails with 'The view for this page and logical unit do not match,' even though the view names look like they should correspond — could this be a letter-case mismatch?
Is there an out-of-the-box way (or an API call via a Custom Action) to reverse one of IFS's built-in page statuses backward — for example, moving a Change Request from Processed back to Active, or Active back to Preliminary?
Two Custom Fields on the same page reference two different Custom Logical Units — is it possible to filter the second Custom Field's LOV based on the value currently selected in the first Custom Field, even before the record itself is saved?
Conditional Fields (one dropdown's available options filtered based on the value selected in another dropdown) work correctly in IEE, but the exact same configuration doesn't apply at all in Aurena — is Conditional Field configuration supported in Aurena?
An RMB action navigates to a Custom Page bound to a Custom Logical Unit, but since that LU has no rows yet for the parameters being passed to match against, the navigation shows nothing — is there a way to pre-create the target row using the passed parameter values before the navigation actually happens?
A Lobby Data Source built on a custom view doesn't show any of that view's columns in the Data Source Designer's column-selector, even though the view itself is confirmed to exist and work — is this unsupported, or is there a workaround?
A URL to an Aurena page, launched from a classic-client Custom Menu action, fails to load properly inside IEE's own embedded browser view — but the exact same URL opens perfectly fine in a genuine external browser like Edge or Chrome, even though Edge/Chrome is set as the OS default browser. Why does IEE behave differently from the actual configured default browser?
Is there a way to show more detail/additional columns in the built-in Record Selector dropdown for a standard Logical Unit, beyond what it shows by default?
In classic EE, RMB > Edit > Copy Object followed by RMB > Edit > Paste Object in another environment lets you copy individual configuration objects across environments via the clipboard — since Aurena uses command buttons instead of RMB context menus, is there an equivalent way to copy objects across environments in Aurena?
A Custom Tab added to the Project Navigator, showing Project Connections, needs to (1) filter to only show items with a specific object type (like 'Activity%'), and (2) default its content to a custom saved search rather than the plain overview — are both possible?
Aurena list/grid screens only load 24 rows at a time by default, requiring the user to scroll to the bottom and click 'show more' to see additional records — is there a setting to change this default batch size?
A Custom Event that triggers a Deferred_Call to create a new print job (backed by a Report Rule that prints it) works correctly overall, but the background job log repeatedly shows 'Unable to register new print job... same report already being processed' — even after moving the deferred call to different batch queues. What's the actual root cause and fix?
A Custom Event on Customer Order Release, meant to block release with an error when a custom field is blank, works exactly as expected when tested directly in PL/SQL Developer, but in the actual application the order just releases normally with no error shown and nothing visible in the debugger. What's causing the event to silently do nothing in the app?
Aurena's 'Page Help' button leads to a blank page for every screen tried, while the equivalent Page Help works correctly from IEE for the exact same screen — what's actually different about how each client resolves Page Help?
For an Apps9/Oracle 12c database, should Automatic or Manual Shared Memory Management be used for the SGA and PGA — is one blanket choice correct for both?
Is Lobby Element 'Form Mapping' (showing a Lobby Element directly inside a form's own Context Pane) only possible for Lobby Elements created by R&D, or can a custom-built Lobby Element be mapped to a form the same way?
In Aurena, adding a Custom Command that navigates the user somewhere only lets you pick an ordinary page as the target — is there a way to configure a custom command to navigate into an Assistant instead?
A Persistent Text custom field marked as a Clickable Hyperlink in IEE correctly renders as a clickable, underlined link there (Ctrl+click opens the URL) — but the same custom field, added to an Aurena page, just shows as plain text with no link styling or click behavior. Is there a setting to make it behave the same way in Aurena?
What's the quickest reliable way to make a set of columns read-only for all users on a screen like Customer Order Line, without having to configure it user-by-user?
A custom Aurena page has an Execute-Action button that successfully updates the underlying data, but the page itself doesn't reflect the new data afterward — even the page's own Refresh button doesn't help, and only a full browser reload (F5) shows the updated data. What's missing?
Trying to use Conditional Fields anywhere in the system produces 'View [view_name] not found in dictionary,' even after refreshing the Dictionary Cache. What else, besides a cache-refresh problem, can cause this?
A large Notes-style custom field (an Info Card showing a long text field from a related record, like a Customer's notes field placed on a Customer Order header) has limited display space, and there's no obvious way to scroll to see the rest of the text. Is there a setting for this?
Is it possible to make an actual copy of an Aurena page, including any customizations already made to it with Page Designer — for example to override a page currently scoped to the 'global' context with a new page scoped to a specific site?
Is there an Aurena equivalent of IEE's 'Send to colleague' feature — sending a colleague a direct link to the exact record/screen currently being viewed?
In IEE, multiple users can log in simultaneously in separate windows of the same browser — is there an equivalent way to have multiple concurrent user sessions open in Aurena within the same browser?
A Lobby 'Analog Gauge' element lets you configure a negative value range, but negative values never actually display on the gauge — is this a bug or expected behavior?
IFS Enterprise Explorer links to specific documents/objects (like a Purchase Requisition) work correctly when IFS EE is already open, but when the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge is the default browser and IFS isn't already running, clicking such a link just launches IFS and lands on the start page instead of the target record. Is there an Edge equivalent of the IFS Chrome extension that fixed this same problem for Chrome?
After migrating to Aurena, several SQL-data-source-based Lobby elements in a specific lobby show no data at all in Aurena, even though the equivalent underlying data is clearly present and visible in IEE. What commonly causes Lobby elements to show blank in Aurena specifically, when the same data source works fine elsewhere?
The out-of-the-box Description field on the Engineering Change Request (ECO) form in Aurena is both mandatory and limited to 35 characters, blocking the Save button from appearing until it's filled in. Is there a way to either increase that character limit or make the field genuinely optional, including by replacing it with a custom field?
How do you create Custom Events directly within Aurena, the way you would in Enterprise Explorer's Solution Manager?
Is it possible to add specific dates as Holidays to a calendar, for use with APIs like the Work Time Calendar API's working-minutes calculation, used inside Quick Reports?
An Aurena Page Configuration displays correctly while still inside Page Designer, but shows an error as soon as you leave Page Designer — unpublishing, republishing, and signing off after each change doesn't fix it, and the projection is already granted to the current user's role.
