Is it possible to display a Lobby (or its underlying data) on a page outside of IFS entirely — for example, embedded on a company intranet page as a live dashboard element?
In a Lobby Text element, the 'Formatting' section (bold, italics, centering, etc.) doesn't seem to have any visible effect on the element.
Is there a way to disable the default F2 (Populate) keyboard shortcut, to prevent it from being accidentally triggered instead of F3 (Query) and locking up the client while it tries to fetch an entire large table?
Is it possible to customize/override the text of the information pop-up message that appears automatically after a Custom Menu action completes?
Is it possible to click on a Lobby element and have it open another Lobby (rather than just navigating to a regular page)?
How do you get a numeric column in a Lobby element to display right-aligned and italicized (like a right-slanted currency figure), rather than the default left-aligned plain formatting?
Clicking a link from an IEE Streams notification (for example, one generated by a custom event registering a notification) opens in a built-in browser that reports 'this browser is not supported,' even though the same kind of link opens fine when set to launch in an external browser like Edge — what browser is IEE actually using internally for these links?
A custom field needs to show a long explanatory question (well over 30 characters) to the user, but the field's own Prompt label is capped at 30 characters, with no obvious way to display the full question text directly on the form.
Can an Aurena Custom Action (Command) call a RESTful or database API method directly, including ones that return data or take complex parameters?
Is the data entered across the steps of a Form Assistant/Wizard saved anywhere (even temporarily) that a Custom Event could hook into — for example, to validate step one's input and conditionally allow or block step two?
Users intermittently hit 'An entry with same key already exists' errors on specific screens (for example, Equipment > PM Action, or a Shop Order-related page) — clearing the affected user's personal profile fixes it temporarily, but the error comes back later, and there's no obvious trigger for when it'll recur.
Where is column order/arrangement actually stored and controlled in IFS Cloud — it used to be part of the user's own profile in earlier releases, but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore?
In Aurena, arranging columns via Page Designer affects the table view of a screen, but the same column order doesn't seem to apply when viewing the same data in list view — how do you get consistent column ordering across both views?
Combining a wildcard character with a Lobby page parameter in a data source's filter condition (to do a partial/contains-style match) produces an error in Aurena — how do you write a working wildcard-plus-parameter condition?
Choosing to email a colleague from within a screen doesn't seem to actually send an email — what's actually supposed to happen?
A user clicked 'Don't ask this again' on the 'This is the last window, closing it will end the session' exit confirmation prompt, and now wants that confirmation back — is there a way for the user (or an admin) to reset it?
A Lobby parameter filter uses project_id LIKE nvl('$Project$', '%') so leaving the parameter blank shows all records and entering a specific Project ID filters to it — but there's no way to instead filter to only records where project_id is blank/NULL, since entering something like !% doesn't match anything.
Is there a way to customize an Aurena Command/hyperlink so it opens a local or network file (a file:// URL, like a PDF on an online storage drive), given the built-in navigation only accepts http:// or https:// URLs?
A newly created Lobby page can't be opened right after creation, even by the user who created it and even after directly granting that new page to their own permission set — it shows 'Cannot load Page' until working through a specific sequence.
A Lobby Data Source's view definition doesn't accept a table alias the way it used to — is aliasing no longer possible for a Lobby Data Source's underlying view?
Is there a way to give a standard (or custom) field a rich-text/formatted-text editing experience in Aurena — similar to a forum's post editor with a formatting ribbon — since a plain multiline custom field doesn't offer any formatting, and has its own character-length limits?
Is it possible to group shortcuts together into a folder in IEE, the way you might organize desktop shortcuts?
Is there a way to edit a Base Profile directly in Aurena on Apps10, the way you could directly edit base profiles in Enterprise Explorer — for example, to save a search directly into the Base Profile instead of a personal one?
In Aurena, the search header/filter bar for a screen (visible after searching for a record) disappears when the page is refreshed — is this a bug?
A Lobby Counter element's underlying data source (which references a custom logical unit view in its filter condition) populates the correct count, but clicking it to drill in throws a Server Error in Aurena — specifically an ODATA_PROVIDER_ERROR about page parameters not being found — even though the exact same element and condition work fine viewed through IEE.
Configuring the IFS Database Identity Provider's Logo URL and Background Image URL to point at local image files on the application server (using a UNC-style path like \\server\IMAGES\BACKGROUND.jpg) doesn't work, even though the path itself is correct and the server hosts the images.
IEE throws 'A generic error occurred in GDI+' (a System.Runtime.InteropServices.ExternalException inside .NET's Graphics/DataGrid rendering code) while using a data-heavy screen like Inventory Part in Stock — what causes this and how do you fix it?
A subset of users intermittently hit a System.OutOfMemoryException crash in IEE, forcing a client restart, with no consistent screen or action that triggers it and no clear pattern — is there a known mitigation?
Clicking a web link on My Start Page in Apps10 IEE always tries to open it inside IEE's own embedded browser (prompting for a browser plugin install) — is there a way to make these links open directly in an external browser like Chrome instead?
A field on a screen (like the Serial No on the Manual Reservation screen) shows as white text on a blue background due to conditional formatting, and a user with accessibility needs is struggling to read it — how do you find and change this coloring?
How do you get a 'Customer Name' field to show up as a selectable search header field for Business Opportunities in Aurena, when there's no actual Customer Name column on the underlying view — it only appears in the older IEE screen because IEE resolves it through a lookup function behind the scenes?
Is there a way to increase the overall font size used throughout the IEE client (Navigator, windows, pages)?
An EXTERNAL_SEARCH link with two chained parameters (like BUYER_CODE and CURRENCY_CODE, joined with &) only ever applies one of the two filters correctly, no matter which order they're written in — how do you actually combine two parameters in an external search?
Lobby Overview isn't visible in the navigation panel for a user in Cloud 21R2, even though it isn't hidden in Navigator Designer and the user has been granted IFS_ALL.
Cloud's standard theme only offers a choice between dark and light — is there a way to introduce a different theme color (like green), for example to accommodate a user with vision accessibility needs who finds a particular color easier to read?
A Lobby element built using the Query Builder tool (rather than raw SQL) for its data source works fine in Enterprise Explorer but returns no data — or in some cases breaks the entire Lobby page — when viewed in Aurena, even though it's based on the exact same underlying view.
Clicking a friendly display value (like a customer name) in a Lobby element doesn't navigate correctly to the target screen, because Lobby navigation needs the actual key value (like a customer ID) rather than the display text shown to the user — is there a way to navigate using the display value directly?
A Lobby element correctly displays a count of records, but clicking it to navigate to the linked screen throws an 'Invalid Identifier' error — even though the underlying data source and permissions both look correct.
Appearance Designer/Appearance Configuration isn't available in the menu when logged into Aurena as the IFS owner account on IFS Application 10 Update 15 — is this a permissions issue?
No questions match. Try a broader term or reset the filters.
