why the webui cannot access the identifiers and procedures from the model except for the webui procedyres?

I have created a basic model to read and write excel files. I have created procedure to do that in my model. But when I am creating the download widget in the webui, I cannot access the procedure to download the excel file. And for the matter, I cannot access any of the identifiers as well in any other widget.

Where do WebUI procedures get executed?

Hi all, I am considering migrating a heritage WinUI app to WebUI. One of the reasons for this is that there are quite some intense calculations currently being run on user machines. When I migrate to WebUI, and the user presses a button to run a procedure, is that procedure executed on local host machine, or is it executed using server resources?

Is it possible to do a password entry in the webUI

In the winUI of AIMMS, there is the DialogGetPassword function that will create a dialog window with a masked input that can be used to retrieve passwords. Is there any way I can achieve the same in the WebUI at the moment? If not directly supported by AIMMS, I could think of a bit of Javascript that could find the right input tag and modify the type from text to password. Is this possible within the webui? To add som custom javascript that is running on the page?

Two questions about using list widget in side panel

Hi, Playing around a bit with AIMMS again and was looking first at using a workflow, but the problem I think for me is that changes I make in a later step could invalidate an earlier step again. For example, one step in the workflow would be to request the user to upload 3 files, while next steps in the flow would be fixing some of the items that were just imported. However, I don’t think I can make it three separate steps in a workflow because changing something that was read in from the 3rd file could invalidate something from the first file. So based on earlier conversations, I was looking at using the list widget in a side panel because this can easily give me the non-linear behavior. For each of the three input files, I would have one line in the list widget and I can use green checkmarks / red crosses / yellow warnings to indicate which blocks need to be investigated. Is this indeed a good approach for these kind of things? With regards to the side panel, when adding the list wi

Feedback wanted: Table "Upload/Download Excel" feature

In an effort to improve the Tabular Data Manipulation experience on WebUI, we added and released "Excel Upload/Download Support" Table feature with 4.86 version. Using its Download Excel and Upload Excel capabilities, this functionality provides a means of manipulating Table data.The user can choose to download the entire table's contents into an excel file, edit the data, and then upload the updated data back to the WebUI. We firmly feel that the user benefits when the Table has a sizable amount of data and the user is able to edit the data utilising Excel's features. I’m looking for your feedback on this feature, specifically:Any suggestions on improvements on Excel Upload & Download feature on Tables Do you still need "Download CSV" feature, and what are the use cases? (Can they use the Downloaded Excel data for such actions?) Please tell us in the comments section below. Thanks,Team WebUI

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

Updated Employee Scheduling Example!

Hello Everyone!Second renewed example is live! Come check!In this example an optimal employee assignment is determined for a chain of restaurants. Each restaurant has different demands concerning the number of employees available and their skills. The objective of the optimization is to find the best placement of staff at the lowest cost, while taking into account shortage of skilled workforce.The employees work in shifts and each position is primarily fulfilled by skilled employees. Assigning a less experienced staff member to a task will have impact on the overall cost.We used a lot WebUI new features, you can download the app by clicking here.

Updated Traveling Salesman Example!

Hello Everyone!One more renewed example is live! Come check! The Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) is the problem of finding the shortest route visiting all cities precisely once. Given are the distances between the cities.TSP problems are widely studied in the scientific literature because:they are notoriously difficult to solve to optimality (NP-Hard), there is a wide range of applications, and there are various approaches of solving the problem.This example is structured as follows:The page "Network" permits you define your own network.You can use the data manager (icon data manager) to save and load instances. Two cases come with this example.Distances are estimated using the Haversine formula.The page "Heuristic" illustrates three different heuristics to solve a TSP. The page "Exact" shows how a MIP can be used to solve a TSP. The page "Comparison" compare total distance and execution time for each solve.Each of the above pages comes with a HELP side-panel, explaining how to operat

Possible to style buttons?

Just wanted to know if it is possible to style the buttons in AIMMS based on information from the model. What I have in mind is allowing the user to open for example 25 different pages (e.g. for different inputs) by providing 25 different buttons.I would like to style these buttons in such a way that if the input that corresponds to the page this button opens contains an error, the button should be red or I would like to include a red Error symbol (think might be possible with unicode and variant selection?) on that button and if there are warnings, I would like to make it yellow or have a yellow warning symbol. Green checkmark could indicate there are no issues with that particular input. It could also be that buttons to open the 25 different inputs are not the best way to this from UX perspective. If that is the case, what would you recommend?

How to change specific table identifier (checkbox) to a image/button

Hello everyone. We are trying to change a specific identifier in our table to a button that opens a dialog page. It’s the last column within this table: However, as you can see in the image, our CSS styling is applying this change to all checkboxes within the table: .tag-table[data-widget\.uri*="tbl_PlanoOperacional_Tratos"] .cell-wrapper input[type=checkbox][class*=boolean] + span{ background: white url(images/floppy-disk_roxo.png) no-repeat 50%/contain;} We have already tried to change it using annotations, but we weren’t able to make it work out. Is this possible? Thanks!

Select all/none in multiselect relative to selection

Hi there! I was wondering whether the behavior of the select all/select none buttons in e.g. the multiselect widget can be adjusted easily. I often use the search bar to get to a subset of my elements which are relevant for selection, which I would like to (de-) select with one click. I would expect that the select all/none button in this case only affects the subset which matches my search. On the contrary, these buttons are overruling whatever you type in the search bar, applying the (de-) selection on all elements, making it more cumbersome to apply “mass selections” on convenient subsets. Is this something you are working on?

Best Practices for Combining Old and New CSS Styling

Hello all!I was looking back through some old custom CSS code and the new way of theming using CSS properties. We have some very custom CSS code that, for example, selects specific widgets or specific pieces of the WebUI, and we would obviously like to keep this custom CSS code while still taking advantage of the new WebUI styling that has come out in the last year.However, I know recently some updates to WebUI, esp. the new 16-color palette, caused some issues with backward compatibility. Are there best practices for maintaining custom CSS code that may not be affected (e.g. “don’t use custom styling for x kinds of widgets or y kinds of selectors”). I am referencing the post here (), which mentioned that it should be possible to combine the “old ways” and the “new ways” of doing things. I guess I am just looking for some guidance on the best practices in ways to go about this to ensure forward compatibility.
