Hi William Le,

you can use entities for different dataflow interactions.

Here are two examples:

1. If you like to pre-fill a textcube with text of an entity, you can use this entity as source. Therefore you need a textcube with the same dimension you like to use in your dataflow.

In this example you write the product description into your textcube:

You can use this maybe for editing entity member descriptions and so on (export this textcube and use a datareader to replace description).

2. You can use entities for workflow logging:

In this example I selected year 2014, salesperson = Bishop and Division = Accessories on the screen. 

In a dataview you can now see this result if you run the procedure:

There are many more cases where you need to use entities, but I hope I have given you a small overview or an impetus for more ideas.

Hi Emanuela,

you could try to use the "Edit block" function. There is no active possibility to change the total row of an algorithm.

In the data entry view you are able to mark all rows. You are now able to multiply all rows with a factor or you can add, subtract, divide, etc.

Your calculated total will change depending on your data entry.

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for your response.

The final goal is to run the refresh automated, but I am starting with the "basic" scenario:

- Manually running a procedure with the Board Client installed in the Server machine

- Only refreshing the file (not applying any selection)

- I am logging into the server via Remote Desktop and through a user that belongs to the Administrator group

My next test will be changing the user that is running the Board Server. Before it was the "System Local", I changed it to the user I use to log in (which belongs to the Administrator group), but the error persists. I will try to ask the customer to use the local Administrator to run the Board Service.

Any more ideas are welcome though!

Thanks,

Eduard

Hi Paul Wyatt - Avison Young UK & Malav Shelat,

Thank you for flagging this to us. Jive X platform, unfortunately, has been experiencing a number of technical issues lately. After being acquired by Lithium, we witnessed not just lack of development but inability to maintain the existing functionality. We are constantly in touch with the support team, but as soon as one ticket is closed, we need to open another one.

We are not ignoring these issues, though, and have started exploring our options. We want our customers and partners to stay active, communicate, earn points, share experiences and much more. Ensuring the community functionality is fit for purpose and serves our customers in the best way is our main priority. We are genuinely sorry for the bad experience with the community platform at the moment and we'll do our best to fix the issues with the support team as soon as possible. We have a couple of announcements coming down the line and we will speed things up even more, considering that Jive X issues are worsening. 

As for the other points you've made, we always welcome feedback which now has been shared with Board product team and a member of that team will follow up shortly as well. 

Kind regards,

Anastasia 

Thanks Helmut Heimann and Daniele Di Lorenzo for your replies, As I thought, the only way to do so is to use a dedicated cube,  I was trying to avoid this option for two reasons :

• We already have a lot of cubes that we only use in dynamic selections.
• The project is relatively big (we have already ~500 cubes)  and it’s evolving, so we might face the risk of running out of cubes as the max number of cubes is 999.

But I guess we don’t have another choice, we should optimize our use of cubes more when developing the next modules.

Thanks again  

Best regards
