One of the nice new UI features for Creatio Freedom UI pages is the Toggle Panel layout component. You’ve likely seen this already, most Freedom UI pages for sections use this for the Attachment’s and Feed areas. It’s those pop out panels on the right side that can toggle open and closed. It can be […]
The Freedom UI RichText Editor defaults to a single line/row. It does grow as the user enters more and more text. However, this single row gives the appearance that it’s just a normal text field, not one that can support multiple lines of text and can cause some confusion for end users. I prefer to […]
Something I have really grown to love with Freedom UI lists is the ability to add row actions that can be performed for the selected row in a list. These quick actions make a nice way to allow users to perform quick actions without opening the full record page. Here’s a sample of a list […]
On a Freedom UI page, you can execute requests to perform various actions, such as to display a message dialog, a toast message, open a page, reloading a list or page, etc. One of the available types of requests you can execute is to copy a value to the clipboard. This request is called a […]
Showing Message Dialogs and Confirmation Prompts from a Freedom UI page work by executing a request to show a dialog. You can pass an array of buttons plus a message. This asynchronous request will provide you with the result selected by the user. The request to execute is a crt.ShowDialogRequest. The end result is a […]
The mini page is a new way to prompt for information when using a pre-configured page in a process. This is a new feature that was added in Creatio version 8.0.10 and it can be very helpful and be used in many ways. In this article I will be showing an example of one way […]
On Freedom UI pages all page code is added as request handlers. This new way that code is added to Freedom UI pages has some benefits, however, it does tend to make the code for the page unorganized, difficult to read, and not reusable. Rather than adding all logic to request handlers on a Freedom […]
Filtering lookups on a Freedom UI page is something new in 8.0.10. However, even in 8.0.10 there are still some issues with filtering lookups. I do expect lookup filtering to improve for Freedom UI in versions to come, however, there is still a need to be able to dynamically filter a lookup with complex conditions […]
In a Creatio Freedom UI page you might want to apply custom CSS styles to controls based on conditions to draw the user’s attention to something. This article will outline how to do this for any control type on a Freedom UI page. In this article, I’ll be using the scenario styling a checkbox as […]
Creatio has been expanding the capabilities of business rules on Freedom UI pages with each release. However, as of 8.0.10, you cannot add a rule to show or hide a field on a Freedom UI page based on whether the current user is a member of a specific role or not. However, it is possible […]
A toast popup is an unobtrusive way to display a message to a user. It displays at the bottom of the page, out of the way from what the user is doing and goes away on it’s own after a short period. Creatio includes the ability to display a toast message to a user from […]
With Freedom UI pages, all client code executes as a request. There can be one, or multiple handlers of a request, but essentially, to do anything, you need a request to be executed for it to happen. This is the case saving the page as well. I’ve shown before how to handle (or respond to) […]
Typically, when you launch a process from a page in Creatio, you want to refresh the page after the process completes so you see any data that was changed by the process. This has always been done by sending a message from a script task in the process to the UI to tell it to […]
In Freedom UI list pages there is now no-code support for adding color to column values. Previously, you could do this with code and add CSS to the list rows or use our Section Case Colors add-on (which still works for classic sections & details). However, now in Freedom UI lists, this has built in […]
When you bind an object property on a Freedom UI page in Creatio, the designer adds an attribute to the page that the UI element is bound to. You’ll use this attribute name to programmatically set or get the value of the field on the page. However, in current versions of Creatio Freedom UI pages […]
Creatio includes the ability to copy records. When copying, only the properties that are marked as “clonable” are copied to the new record and the properties that are not marked for copy are not included. Creaio’s new Model class includes this same capability to copy records. To copy a record we’ll use the Model class that […]
In classic Creatio pages, to delete a new record you would use a DeleteQuery. Now, in Freedom UI pages you can delete records using the Model class that is a part of the Creatio DevKit SDK. To use the devkit, you’ll need to add “@creatio-devkit/common” to the modules list of your page. This will look like this […]
In classic Creatio pages, to update a record you would use an UpdateQuery. Now, in Freedom UI pages you can update records using the Model class that is a part of the Creatio DevKit SDK. To use the devkit, you’ll need to add “@creatio-devkit/common” to the modules list of your page. This will look like this (note […]
In classic Creatio pages, to insert a new record you would use an InsertQuery. Now, in Freedom UI pages you can insert records using the Model class that is a part of the Creatio DevKit SDK. To use the devkit, you’ll need to add “@creatio-devkit/common” to the modules list of your page. This will look like […]
One thing that I’ve always like doing to test things, specifically EntitySchemaQuery tests, was to simply test things out in the browser console. You could easily create an EntitySchemaQuery and test it without needing to go add it to a page, refresh, etc. Plus, it makes it easy to look at some data to troubleshoot […]
