Hello, I am basically looking for something very similar to triggers in databases. In my asset management app, employees have been assigned some assets. Some assets have a returnOn date. I want to send email reminders to every employee (employee user group)u if any of their assets is approaching their return date. Maybe 1 day before the returnOn date. I am aware of the escalations and exceptions in the process model. But I do not need to do anything else just send email reminders. What will be the best approach for this? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!!

Hi, My question is how you could create a dropdown with the list of months and another dropdown with a list of years and when selecting a value, filter by date. I currently have a date field in my database. I have created an expression rule with a series of filters and one of them is the date with the operator between and the value: {datetime(year(ri!date), month(ri!date), day(ri!date), "00:00:00"),datetime(year(ri!date), month(ri!date), day (ri!date), "23:59:59")}. But how could I do it with a dropdown for the year and another for the month? Thank you very much for the help.

Hii all How to create a report using query entity not using report type ?Can anybody help me .

Hello, I'm creating an asset management website application for a company as my school project. I have used the same summary view for three pages (My Assets, All Assets, Available Assets) on my site but with different filters according to the required use cases. I have also created multiple related actions (Request Asset, Retire Asset, Update Asset) and configured their visibility according to the user groups' accessibility criteria.  My Assets and Available Assets pages are visible to the employee group. If the employee selects a particular asset, it will take them to the summary page where two related actions - Request Asset and Retire Asset are enabled for them. Currently, I see both related actions on the summary view. My problem is that I want: 1. Retire Asset Button to be visible only when the employee is visiting the summary view via the My Assets page, and, 2. Request Asset Button to be visible only when the employee is visiting the summary view via the Available

The error above used to happen occasionally but has been getting worse & worse to the point I am unable to do anything in the Interfaces 103: Build Complex Interfaces by Adapting Patterns course I was working on today.  It only happens when I am using my works laptop which connects to the internet using my own internet to connect to my companies network via a VPN. This is the only way the works laptop can connect to the Internet. And also happens when in the office connected directly to my companies internet. I get this when trying to drag & drop components using the design view. This can also happen when using the palette and trying to change from the components tab to patterns or design library.  I also have had it when working through the developer  training course again same scenario as above or when using the Monitoring tab and trying to change to the other tabs to check the health of my app or processes.  It can also happen why try

I am re building the Dev training app and this is only thing I cannot get to work from the training guidance and I am not sure why.  I have rebuilt up to step 13 and every thing else and other tips have worked.  On the add Vehicle form. a tip is "TIP: Use the Visibility Setting to Conditionally Show Interface Components ● In some cases, you might want to display a component based on a condition. ● To do this, use the Visibility setting in the Component Configuration pane. Select Only Show When and enter an expression in the Expression Editor. ● For example, imagine that you want to display a Comments field if a vehicle’s mileage is above 150,000 miles. You can enter the expression ri!vehicle[recordType!AX Vehicle.fields.vehicleMileage] > 150000. ● This expression determines whether the Comments component is displayed on the interface. When set to false, the component is hidden and not evaluated. The default is set to true." I have the following in How
