Enumeration value in XML criteria

Enumeration value in XML criteria published on 5 Comments on Enumeration value in XML criteria

If you often using the XML criteria in SCSM (with SDK or in view with Advanced View Editor) then you can faced with two different notation used as value for properties of enumeration type (like Status, Category, Area and so on): $MPElement[Name=’’]$ and Guid format (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx, or uniqueidentifier in T-SQL). In this article I will describe the deference and will explain why XML validation can fail when $MPElement$ notation used.

AVE 2 Pro: Custom Columns

AVE 2 Pro: Custom Columns published on 3 Comments on AVE 2 Pro: Custom Columns

Using standard columns you can display only values from view’s fields. But what if you want to display some complex information: get values from several fields, format values or display values in with custom control? Using standard view editor this is impossible. But even in out-of-box views you can find examples of custom columns. For instance, “Incidents with Service Level Breached” view contain calculated column “Service Level Target”. This column check all target times from all SLO attached to incident and display the earliest target date.

Advanced View Editor 2 Pro allow you to add custom column. You can create your own custom columns and add it to AVE 2 Pro UI using simple template.

AVE Pro: ‘My Work Items’ view

AVE Pro: ‘My Work Items’ view published on 4 Comments on AVE Pro: ‘My Work Items’ view

One of the most “most voted” feature of the SCSM 2012 is the My Work Items. The problem is what you can create view targeted to WorkItem (or type projections targeted to WorkItem class) but in this case you can use properties only from WorkItem class (and parent classes). But most properties like Status, Categoty and so on are stored in child classes like Incident, ChangeRequest and other.
