Introducing Pages in Library: A Major Step Forward for AIMMS WebUI Developers

Pages in Library (PiL) is a powerful new feature designed to boost productivity, enable collaborative development, and promote the reuse of your best AIMMS WebUI designs across projects.What Is Pages in Library?Traditionally, WebUI pages are tightly bound to individual projects. Pages in Library changes that by allowing you to create and store interface pages within a library—independent of any specific project. This means you can build polished, functional interfaces once and reuse them across multiple applications. Better yet, since these pages are decoupled from the main project, any updates to the library can be propagated across all projects using it, dramatically simplifying maintenance and upgrades.When Is It Available and How Does It Work?Here is a link to the documentation.Why Does It Matter for Developers?This feature marks a significant leap in development efficiency. Imagine building a reusable scenario manager or interface templates complete with tables, CRUD operations, f

Upcoming (font) styling changes that might influence your WebUI apps and the applicability of custom CSS

This week (with feature release 25.2.1) we will be releasing a change that is both big and small at the same time: we will stop using the Roboto, Roboto Condensed and Montserrat font families for WebUI and migrate to a font family known as Inter. These changes are part of our ongoing desire to keep WebUI's appearance up-to-date and to offer a better User Experience. They mark the start of a range of other changes, to the look-and-feel but also to how you can use WebUI, that should all achieve this same goal.Inter comes with some advantages, for you as an end-user of WebUI: Using Inter for the entirety of the UI will result in a more consistent look, making WebUI a more balanced experience, also for app developers. Inter was designed to feel modern and has features to enhance and adapt readability depending on the font size and weight. Inter can be delivered to your browser from fewer and smaller files, resulting in the best possible page loading performance. Despite all these large

Exit AIMMS WebUI applicationHow-to

At User Support we occasionally get questions about the termination of WebUI sessions; for instance as follows:We have a project where the premaintermination and maintermination both contain the statement “return 1”.Separately, we have a library in which we want to run some checks and empty some parameters in the library pre termination. However, we observe that when the app is uploaded, the PreLibraryTermination and LibraryTermination are not ran.We’ve noticed this because when re-opening the same app within a few minutes, the data session is still active, and parameters that should be empty because we empty them both in the library initialization and termination, still contain data. Understandably, if you are not aware of the termination protocol of AIMMS WebUI sessions, this can be confusing.Let me share some details about the termination protocol for an AIMMS WebUI session first:Background: An AIMMS WebUI session consists of two communicating processes: A process in the browser of

MAP FILTERING THROUGH MULTISELECT

Hello everyone!I’m reaching out to know how can I use multiselect in showing nodes and arcs in my network map. It is part of my project to make the UI interactive, however, I’m having difficulty doing so. I have tried testing if the same multiselect-table interaction can also work here, but it doesn’t. Any tips or examples you can provide?Thank you!

Possibility to assign specific colors to gantt-chart jobs based on the standard palette

When displaying a gantt chart, the colors of the jobs come from the standard 16 color palette as far as I can see.For example, when I have a gantt chart defined on pGanttChartJobStart(iJob, iSku, iLine) and pGanttChartJobDuration(iJob, iSku,iLine) and in the gantt chart the iLine is corresponding to the resources and the combination (iSku, iJob) are corresponding to the jobs.If I understand it correctly, AIMMS will take the coloring from the first component in the Jobs section, which is exactly what I want (i.e. every job for a given sku always has the same color, namely the ‘sku’ color) However, sometimes, this results in two jobs that are consecutive on one line, but have colors that are quit close to eachother.I know I can easily create my own annotations and define my own colors for that with CSS, but then I will have lost the connection to the standard aimms palette. Do you know if it is possible to define custom annotations and in the CSS for those annotations indicate you want t

Why is there no download / upload case function in the WebUI data manager

Our users want to be able to store case files locally on their computer and reupload to the cloud environment at a later stage. It looks like the WebUI data manager does not support this requirement. What is the best way to enable users with such a feature?

Modify tooltip when changing job in gantt chart

In the gantt chart, you can set a custom tooltip when the user is hovering over each of the jobs. Is it also possible to customize the tooltip that is shown when you modify one of the jobs? In one of my demos, it shows the following: but what I want in that tooltip is actually the current start and end times also (basically, my own custom string parameter) The same would be for not changing the size of the job, but dragging the position left-right.

Which rows in webui table are in filter?

I have a table in WebUI which can be filtered through the table. The user can interact with the table to select rows associated with certain plants, for example. I would then like the user to be able to select a button to automatically check a check box for the visible rows. There could be many rows and selecting each row individually is not desired. How, in WebUI, can I tell which rows are visible after the user applies filters?

How to Get the Corner Coordinates of the Visible Map

Hi,I basically need the corner coordinates of the visible map in the Map Widget. Please see the red dots below:  These coordinates will be needed when an action is triggered (e.g., a button is pressed), so they don’t need to be tracked continuously.Thanks.

Widget Named Views - Give your user multiple data visualization options in one widget!Widget Named Views

We have learned that app developers can improve efficiency by offering a single widget with multiple predefined views, rather than using multiple instances of the same widget for different data representations on a page.Introducing the Widget Named Views feature, initially introduced in AIMMS 4.95.1 and further enhanced in AIMMS 4.96.1, app developers now have the ability to create and provide various views of a widget.For instance, this feature allows you to offer a table view with one pivoting and another view with a different pivoting, all within the same widget. Additionally, you can even add a different widget type, such as a bar chart, as another view.App developers have the flexibility to specify the default view that users see when they first load the page. Furthermore, they can dynamically adjust the presented view based on user interactions with the app.When multiple named views are created for a widget, a new button is added to the widget's header section. By clicking on thi

Changing the data color in table regardless of being editable or not

As you know, cell values are shown black when they are read-only and blue otherwise as given below. I would like to be able to set a specific text color, regardless of whether it is read-only or not. I wonder if there is a way to do it?P.S. I know we can change the background color in a cell with annotation but there are times where I need to change both the background color and the text color.

Help needed with WebUI

Hi community,Hope everyone is doing great.This is the first time I work on a Web UI and I am struggling with certain configurations that should be straightforward. Would appreciate it if someone could help solve the following: See Image 1) When creating the table “Input Cost” the identifier names on the first column are not the same as in the parameters. How can I adjust them? I also want to change to zero decimals but cannot find how to do so.See Image 2) How can I add units ($) to this chart and table? I tried creating a Quantity Identifier in AIMMS (backend), but then I cannot add it to the parameters nor to the chart.See Image 3) How can I add the “Results” page to the Navigation?See Image 4) In this chart, there are 4 series. In the totals toolbar of the configuration of the chart, I added the Total Sum. Now I would like to view only the Total, and disregard the original series’. How can I do this?Thanks in advance.Best,Felipe​​

Is there an equivalent/alternative in WebUI for the indexed page in WinUI?

Hi,In my case, each plant has a different set of tanks, and the user is able to select one plant at a time. Whenever user selects a plant, the inventory level over time for each tank in the plant is shown on a graph - and the graphs need to be placed on top of each other. This was a behavior that could be achieved in WinUI easily, by creating an Indexed Page object and identifying a parameter for the Index Rows.  I am wondering if there is a way to achieve the same behavior within WebUI?
