  1. In many use cases we need to be able to expose a GET endpoint, using URL parameters as input to the Automation App.

    One general use case is callbacks, where a callback from a service is usually made using an http GET request.

    Specifically we will need this when doing online payments (using web browser) where the payment confirmation/receipt is sent using a callback GET with url params containing e.g. order id or payment reference.

  2. Some secure web services (like payments) are using hashed Authorization headers.

    One example is Worldline, who states: "In short, our Server API authentication mechanism uses hashes over a number of headers (called Signature Contents) and your secret API key to verify authenticity. The hash algorithm used is HMAC-SHA256."

    The example can be found here: https://apireference.connect.worldline-solutions.com/s2sapi/v1/en_US/json/authentication.html?paymentPlatform=ALL

    For this reason, and to be able to access highly secure online services, it would be good to add a "Crypto" module in FlowScript to do these types of encryptions.

    The Crypto module could then support encryption and decryption of commonly used algorithms.

  3. The IFS API documentation has many fields in it Request Body Schemas wrongly labeled as 'required' in the input type definitions. There are examples where over 20 items are wrong within one schema. Since this is not going to change any time soon, it would be better to have the code generator define all fields as optional. Since typically a type is not defined from scratch but copy/pasted from the browser debugger console, it avoids a lot of unnecessary type issues in FlowScript for which the generated code needs to be adapted.

  4. Especially for mobile clients would be useful if we would have numeric input with plus- and minus-buttons. Input need to have minimum and maximum values, with possibility to set button increase value. Example for inputting hours: minimum hour registration is 15min with 15min increase and maximum hours 8

    Control setup:
    Min value: 0.25
    Max value: 8
    Step value: 0.25

  5. It would be very nice to be able to have a status message on also http requests and script steps (in addition to External System), as http requests potentially can take some time to execute.

  6. I would like to be able to configure a timeout in the client such that if the client is inactive for a specified period of time, the client will logout. As an example, at Cash Checkout if the screen has not been touched for 4 minutes, the app should logout and request a re-login. This should be a configuration.

  7. In the context we hae customers like Elvia and soon DSB where flow is having a usage of 300+ projections. With frequent updates in IFS ( ever green with new releases every 6 month and service updates in addition). The projections needs to be recompiled one by one. This is timeconsuming and have a risk of not handling it correctly.

    I would be great and useful to add an option/button/way to easily re-download the metadata of all enabled projections and re-compile them in OData connector.

    Especially, after an update of IFS, it would be great to do it manually.

    Even…

  9. In File Gallery element, it would be great to show (or enable to show) the whole filename value, including the file extension.
    For example, in the file gallery I have a couple of files shown, but I want to download only the excel file. Without showing files' extension, I have to download all of them to figure out whihc one is that filetype I'm looking for.

  10. Client accessing IFS via Flow Connect wants to be able to restrict access to some tables, even for developers. In Flow Classic you could set up connector so user was simultaneously login in to IFS and Flow, so he was not using IFSAPP user to gain access, but his own level of privilege. I'd like to be able to present to client's similar functionality, since currently we can set up connector with single login/password per environment.

    Moreover login with multiple flow users in single IFS user seems like license issue waiting to happen.

  12. I'd like to send e-mail to multiple e-mail addresses.
    To send individual e-mails, I need to create a loop in flow to iterate on the users' data (I don't want to send the same e-mail content to all users - e.g. name or company name is different for all users, etc.).

    It would be useful an iterator feature in the machine step similarly to machine steps where an SQL connector is selected. See attached pictures.

  13. The ability to set a portlet (record, table) to be editable based on the value of a variable, be it a variable from the data component or another portlet, would be really helpful in cases where a portlet shouldn't be editable depending on the data.

    For example, selecting the rows that are not highlighted in green in the top portlet should set the record portlet below to editable while selecting the green rows should set it as non-editable.

  14. For customers who have shop floor employees, having them remember the username and password for their logins can be difficult, especially given the amount of times they need to login in one day. We need to find a way to make logging in to the application simple and streamlined for the user - ideally for the windows client, but also for the web client. In IFS Cloud, they offer a way to auto login to the client.

    In IFS 10 timeclock, they offer the ability to save userid and password as properties.

  15. Use case: we use TEST environment to maintain stable apps that are share-worthy with customers. And use DEV to continue our developments, enhancements, testing etc.

    Problem: No share option for applications that are deployed to TEST.

    Idea: Provide information to Hub users on app versions that are deployed to environments other than DEV, so that users can generate share links to match deployed app versions more efficiently.

    We are happy to inform you that development work has begun on your requested feature. Our product team has assigned resources and is actively working on implementing it. We will keep you updated on its progress.

  16. As a customer there are small changes between TEST and PROD environments. It would be nice to be able to run diagnostic mode against a TEST environment and see the errors that one might get there with variables.

  17. To speed up development on IFS Cloud or any other REST APIs it would be super useful to have a "Test" part of the HTTP step.

    In the Test part (a new Tab maybe) you would have the possibility to pass params, se the response and directly turn response from a test call into a response structure in the Response Handling part (similar to "Generate from example")

    This would greatly speed up the development of apps on REST APIs and would make development of IFS Cloud App be faster than in Flow Classic!

  18. Swimlanes in Flow Connect, much like Classic, would support multiple roles and push notifications to role. Currently, Swimlanes on Connect are converted to Seeded Inboxes.

    Swimlane functionality on Classic can be found here:
