1. NiceLabel Connector for Connect

   Utilize the old connector for integration with Nicelabel. Currently the workaround is to use the REST connector or FileSystem connector to communicate but it could require an automation server or additional set up to consume messages in the file system directory.

2. Parameterized IN Syntax for SQL Statements

   Change Improvement Request: Support Parameterized IN Syntax for SQL Statements

   Title
   Support parameterized IN clause syntax to avoid dynamic SQL execution

   Background / Current Behavior

   Currently, when building SQL queries that require filtering using an IN clause with multiple values, the only practical solution is to dynamically construct the SQL string and execute it using EXEC(@query).

   Example:

   DECLARE @query NVARCHAR(MAX)

   SET @query = '
   SELECT *
   FROM Orders
   WHERE OrderId IN (' + @OrderIds + ')
   '

   EXEC(@query)

   This approach requires stringifying the entire query, which introduces several issues:

   Reduced readability and maintainability

   Increased risk of SQL injection if not carefully handled

   Poorer query plan reuse

   Harder debugging and logging

   Proposed Improvement

   Introduce support for built parameters that can expand into an IN clause using syntax similar to:

   WHERE OrderId IN ({OrderIds})

   Where {OrderIds} represents a parameter containing a list/collection of values that the engine expands safely into parameterized values.

   Example usage:

   SELECT *
   FROM Orders
   WHERE OrderId IN ({OrderIds})

   With input parameter:

   OrderIds = [101,102,103]

   Internally this could be translated into something equivalent to:

   WHERE OrderId IN ({OrderIds})

   Expected Benefits

   Eliminates the need for dynamic SQL (EXEC(@query))

   Improves query safety and reduces SQL injection risk

   Enables better query plan reuse

   Improves readability and maintainability

   Makes multi-value filtering consistent with other parameterized queries

4. Hide/remove Assertion Step label from display in application runtime.

   We want to change how Assertion Steps are displayed to the user who runs the app. It is annoying and impractical that the label of the Assertion Step is shown to the user. Better to only show the phrase, as it worked in Classic. It is confusing and language-mixing for the user to see the label of the Assertion step. (See enclosed files).

   For me, this should be permanently changed or at least make it an option to hide the Designer label of the Assertion Step from the user who runs the app in the client. Our clients use assertion steps to say messages in the user language like "You may only select 1 item." or "Address field may not be empty" and when this is combined with the label from the Assertion Step in Designer the message looks confusing and improfessional, like there has been some error.

19. HTML to PDF Connector

    HTML to PDF connector is a frequently used connector for designing and generating PDF reports in Flow Classic. Additionally, it's also possible to merge existing pdfs with this connector.
    As mentioned in this idea https://ideas.novacura.com/forums/956630-novacura-flow-connect/suggestions/48235034-add-proper-report-print-layout-configuration-to-fl
    The design capabilities of the existing connector are somewhat limited/rigid. Ideally, it should be far easier/flexible to design a report layout in connect. Here are some options we can consider for HTML to PDF connector in Flow Connect.

    Option 1

    Can be divided in to two sub sections.
    a. Report design as its own step in the designer – The idea of this is to have a new “report designer step” that is a low-code/WYSIWYG editor. With this approach, the flow developers do not design the report with HTML rather use the editor to design. So even someone who does not know HTML can design a report.

    Advantage – Flexible, feature rich design capabilities with no HTML knowledge needed.

    Disadvantage – Migrating existing customer flows with HTML to PDF connector in Flow Classic to this new format might be challenging.

    b. Generate PDF report as a client feature – Once we have figured out a way to design the report, the PDF generation can happen in the client-side. This would enable offline PDF generation since we do not need to communicate with the Flow Connect backend for PDF generation.

    Advantage – Offline PDF Generation. No connector setup is needed to design & generate reports.

    Disadvantage – If the PDF’s are too big (in size) it will affect the performance of the client. especially in mobile/handheld devices with limited memory capacity. Might have an effect on battery life as well.

    Option 1.a & 1.b are mutually exclusive. We can stop with option 1.a where a new design step that keeps the PDF generation server-side. Or we can have the existing report design machine step but have option 1.b to generate the PDF on the client side.

    Option 2

    Keep HTML to PDF connector as it is – We can also have the exact same functionality of the HTML to PDF connector in connect. So, a connector configuration is needed design & generate PDF reports as PDF generation is happening server-side. With this approach we can borrow lot of stuff from Flow classic (e.g. the design of the machine step) and reuse the existing connector infrastructure.

    Advantage – Migration from Flow Classic to Connect will be easier. Also, since its server-side pdf generation, the connector should be able to handle relatively bigger PDF files.

    Disadvantage – We will continue to have the same issues as it was in Flow Classic. (e.g. Rigid/lack of design capabilities, formatting & logos, no offline printing, etc..)

    Option 3

    Use a third-party service like ConvertAPI. Convert API also provides dedicated servers if needed.

    Advantage – Already available and easy to setup with the existing REST Connector.
    Access to other documents formats like DOCX,XLS,XLSX, TXT,JPEG.
    Relatively easy migration from Flow Classic.

    Disadvantage – Since its REST service hosted by a third-party 3rd party privacy terms apply.
    Lack of on-Prem hosting options (e.g. Convert API does not provide any onprem hosting solution)

    HTML to PDF connector is a frequently used connector for designing and generating PDF reports in Flow Classic. Additionally, it's also possible to merge existing pdfs with this connector.
