Again a special interest topic, where only a few gifted persons will understand what it’s all about. Admins who actually program within Innovator will be familiar with the Method ItemType. A simple debugger is available for JavaScript methods, which is useful for basic syntax checks.
The code analysis tool used in Aras is JSHint. Therefore, we have to face some of the typical limitations of JSHint. In addition to the lack of support for modern JS stuff like async/await and the general lack of ways to check the accuracy of your code – JSHint will simply stop working if JavaScript Methods get too long…Read More →

When developing multilingual applications, it is often necessary to thoroughly test your application against all target languages. Within Aras Innovator multilanguage values can be used in ItemTypes, Forms, Lists, Properties and much more other locations.
Translations are easy to forget, which will result in strange looking Forms and missing labels. You usually want to avoid changing the language settings in the browser or operating system. And it is not necessary at all….Read More →

This article shows a little trick to improve the lock&feel of your Innovator. We will also demonstrate that it’s always worth to question OOTB features. They often can be extended quite easily. You just have to dare to do it!

The ItemType Action can be used to build custom user interaction elements. The modern variant of Actions are CUI elements. These offer much more flexibility as well as improved design and permission options. But you also need more knowledge to use them. This project shows a way to remove at least the optical border between Actions and CUI elements by adding icons to Actions…Read More →

The Workflow History Report is a testament to taste and style. At least it was at the time it was designed – the early 2000s. A time were Aras was working with state of the art 4:3 CRT monitors – just like everybody else.

Let´s see if we can bring this one to the present by adding the following improvements:

  • Use space more efficiently
  • Don´t mix-up votes when delegating a task
  • Show latest activities first
  • Offer more room for vote comments
