WEB UI does not save

Hello, For a university project we use AIMMS to solve a model, we also would like to use the WEB UI, however after building the WEB UI it does not save. Why does it not save, is it because we have an academic license? In the AIMMS model the module 'AIMMSWEBUI [read only]' has the property no save, however since it is read only, we are not able to change it. Is there a solution for this problem?Kind regards!

Help on customization in Map widget - remove default stroke color black when clicked on any node/location

Hello everyone!Is it possible to remove the default stroke color (black) when user clicks or selects any node/location which has already defined stroke color? This is so that the customized stoke colors (defined in model) for the nodes remain functional even when any node is selected. I see customized stroke colors appear back when clicked twice on any node.In my case, by clicking on any location, the stroke colors are turned off and default stroke color black turns on. By clicking on same location again, we can see all stroke colors for potential locations(orange) and optimal location(red). Please find attached screenshots for reference. Thanks in advance for help on this case!

How to format excel files created in the webui?

Hi,Many of our projects include export functionality to Excel; which is a good way to allow the end-user to continue to work on the data and/or use it as a report out. Proper formatting of the excel file is in these cases high on the priority list of the users. One can think of: setting fonts, right number of decimals, putting data in a pivot (correctly organized). Basically, saving the user the manual work to redo these formatting actions after each export to excel.In the win-ui we applied the following trick to get the excel file formatted as desired:Create an excel macro to perform all the required actions Include an excel file with the macro in the aimms project When exporting, use a copy of that excel file, put the data in and run the macro via the aimms function Spreadsheet::RunMacroSince we are developing web-ui apps, which are cloud deployed, this trick is not available any more. The model runs in the cloud without the ability to running an excel macro. Because the AIMMS Excel

Feedback wanted: Structure of applications with a large sets of data to display

Optimization models have a lot of information that needs the user's attention to either review, compare or change. Showing such information on pages usually compels the user to scroll endlessly or scroll up and down when comparing data or switch to and fro between pages. One of the reasons for introducing the Grid Layout was to bring consistency and familiarity within the application. For example, majority of the screen could be used for data widgets, and the left- or right-hand sides can be used for user actions. We also introduced UI components like the Side Panel, Dialog pages, and Status Bar such that common elements could be placed in these components to save real estate on the pages and it becomes easier for the users as well.Even though these components help in many ways, some applications still have a lot more information to show that usually end up in the page having a scroll or where the workflow panel is being used show sub-steps, as illustrated below.

Lists with text aligned as "justify" inside a Text Widget on Web UI are not being displayed as expected

Hello, I am using WebUI and I would like to create create a Side Panel that contains a generic List.I order to do so, I have added a Text Widget to the Side Panel. Then, I tried to fill it through both the input field and by setting a string parameter as input.For both approaches, the List actually displays a very unusual alignment to the left when “justified” is applied as “Text Alignment”. Page Configuration:Page View as a Side Panel:My goal is to make it look closer to what is rendered in a web browser when the corresponding HTML code is loaded. For example, the HTML code corresponding to those pictures above could be presented as:<ul style="width: 20%"> <li style="text-align: justify"> <b>Excepteur:</b> sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum; </li> <li style="text-align: justify"> <b>Excepteur:</b> sint cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia

New WebUI Widget Framework - Part 3

Dear Community, As explained in the previous article New WebUI Widget Framework - Part 2, we are working on a new and more robust WebUI Widget framework. While we are at it, we are also building new Column Chart and Line Chart widgets. We look forward to having these 2 widgets available as a Beta release towards end of this year. We will offer a demo of these features in our upcoming `Online User Meetup | Live WebUI Product Update`. Please register here. We have also improved our Widgets Option Editor. This has resulted in better performance and new features such as:Categorizing index related options (Like Store-Focus, Totals, etc.) Default identifier options Options inheritanceFor example, on the Column Chart, we can now set defaults for generic options like Display Units and Num Decimals, and then inherit these default values upon each of the data identifiers. You can overwrite these inherited options by setting an explicit value.Column Chart The new Column Chart and Line Chart

How to change the WebUI display name of a parameter/set?

In my projects I like to use prefixes such as ‘s_’ for sets and 'p_’ for parameters.However, when designing a webUI page, I would like to mask these names with something more human-friendly. How do I do this?My minimal working example project contains two items:Set s_DummyData { Text: "SetDescription"; Index: i_dummy; Definition: { DATA {1 .. 100}; }}Parameter p_SampleParam { IndexDomain: i_dummy; Text: "ParamDescription"; Definition: { val(i_dummy) * 100; }}What I hoped the Text attribute would do, is replace ‘s_DummyData’ with ‘SetDescription’. Instead I see this when I enter a table in the WebUI:

New WebUI Widget Framework!

Dear Community, We constantly strive to add value to our customers and users by adding new features to make it easier to build applications and provide the best visualization and user interface. In this endeavor, we realize some underlying technical challenges slow us down from time to time. We are therefore building a new WebUI framework that is flexible, robust, and easy to use for us and our users (e.g. when custom widgets are needed, or existing widgets need custom changes).Some of the issues we aim to solve or address are:We have to build each widget from scratch since most widgets do not share a common base. Why reinvent the wheel when there are libraries that already provide a large set of charts! Lowering/eliminating the dependency on third-party libraries that are no longer updated(maintained) or have legacy code that makes it difficult to build new features. Dependency on certain technologies due to compatibility issues between different frameworks. The current custom widget
