Hi All,
 
In case I have a tile that is connected to a menu item that doesn't have a query from where the tile reads its count, Also, if I want to override the query of a form by code, the tile does not get the correct count, although the form returns the correct data (when you click on the tile)

    Hi Waed,
     
    I know you already verified the answer. When I first saw your comment about the ranges, i thought it's a mix between two tables (Table1 and Table2) maybe I saw wrongly or you edited the message.
     
    Andre's answer is correct. However I would like to add something. Does your enum has the isExtensible as true? If yes, then it's not good to use hard-coded numeric numbers, because this enum number might be different in another environments like UAT or PROD, which might cause issues. And in general it's not good to use hardcoding, It's better to use Enum::A instead. But not sure if it will work in your case. Give it a try and let us know.
     
    Thanks,

    Hi Waed,
     
    You can try a query range like this if the enum and the string values are fixed.
     
    (InventTrans.StatusReceipt != 5) || ((InventTrans.StatusReceipt == 5) && (InventTrans.ItemId == "D0001"))
     
    In case the enum values or the specific string values are variable, you can follow the guidelines mentioned by Layan.

    Hi Waed,
     
    I have a suggestion but I'm not sure if it will work as I didn't try it before. If you think your logic can't be achieved with an AOT query, then maybe you can still connect your tile to an AOT query but without any filtration or the minimum filtration you can accomplish.
    Then, you can override the getData method of your tile to add more filters to the query by code, then return the count of the query result.  But this might cause performance issues depending on the logic you will put

    Hi @Andre,
     
    Let say the table name (Table 1), and I have 2 fields (Field 1, Field 2), I want to get all records from Table where (Table1.Field1  !=  Enum::Value1) || (Table1.Field1 == Enum::Value1 && Table1.Field2 = "specific string value")
     
     
    I want these ranges, so how can I add it to AOT query? or where should I add it in the code in order to the tile to read from it.

    Hi Waed,

    The method on the init() of the form is not executed to get the count on the tile. Can you explain about the required query? Maybe we can help you with an alternative using the query approach.

    Hi Andre,
     
    Yes, the count of the tile is incorrect, it returns the count of all data without any filter.  No, I don't add a specific AOT query for the Menu item, I write complex query in the init method of the form

    HI Waed,
     
    Do I understand correctly that the tile is giving an incorrect count, whereas when you open the form, the ranges are correct? Can you share what exact coding you used? Have you also added a specific query to the menu item for the tile?

    Hi,
     
    For a standard form, I need to create a custom tile. The tile should have ranges on the data source, but I am not able to add it using AOT query, so I create complex query and I added it to the init method of the form, the tile returns the count of the data without applying the ranges, but when I click on the tile the form is returning the filtered data based on my custom query. 
    What I did I created a new menu item and connected it to the form, and I overrided the code of init method (to add logic of query ranges)

    Hi Waed,
     
    Can you explain your exact question? Where and how do you need help? Did you already create a customization and got stuck somewhere?
