Develop Prism to Automate Application Studio Tasks
Creating Dashboards in Kinetic, modifying Kinetic Forms, converting Classic Screens to Kinetic could greatly use the help of Prism to walk you thru the details and speed up the process.

“Prism, can you add field OrderHed Charactor08 to the Detail Tab and make it mandatory”

Or… Perhaps Prism could develop some decent Application Studio documentation, so we don’t have to rely on Hannah to do everything!

Sorry, it’s been one of those days… I’m feeling a bit snarky.

Two Frideas ago, I said I’d come back and post my ideas the following week.

Well I ran out of time on Friday, but it looks like there is still room, so here we go - on Monday.

New ones from me:

Token Date widget in Application Studio does not handle token dates very well (Kinetic)
(Based on this rant.)

Why is sales order quantity allowed to be zero?
(Let’s make it a configuration setting.)

Older ones from the holidays:

Time phase for all parts

Supplier-related settings in Part Entry should be managed via supplier price list (not all independently and disconnected)

PLEASE add UOMs to every numeric field in Part Entry

And huzzah, these are in development!

In BAQ designer, in Display Fields, add a column to show the subquery for that field

Not make it so easy to delete an entire list of User Codes

The current Kinetic App Studio Reference User Guide is a pretty good reference manual - with examples! :clap:
Worth checking out

Oh, I have checked it out. I still run into plenty of things that I need to do, with no examples and parameters in App Studio with no explanation of what they do or are used for.

It doesn’t help that we’re unable to get to the latest and greatest release every time that one comes out.
