How to show progress steps

Posted on by VoltesDev

Hello,

I am looking for a way to make my running process has something like progress bar, however I found the progress bar feature is not available now in D365, is that true ?

Any advice how to do something like that now ? The progress indication that I'm interested is actually just some steps, so in my code there are processes which divided by stages, for example just like Sales Order that have stages from Confirmation -> Picking -> Packing -> Invoice, so the idea is I want to have indicator when my program running across these stages.

Thanks,

What do you mean by progress bar? Are u talking about batch job form progress bar?

If so, that is disabled by enabling a new feature called batch priority, if you wish to disable then your progress bar will appear.

However in the long run MS will definitely make that feature on by default or mandatory to enable down the line/years.

Hi Ramit,

Not exactly, as mentioned, in my custom program, it is similar to the process I described, processing sales order from creation -> confirmation -> picking -> packing -> invoice. I want my user know the process running through these steps when it is run.

It is one single job/process.

Thanks

Hi VoltesDev,

You can implement a refresh button like available on the data import/export history forms. When it is executing, the user can refresh if he/she would like to know the current progress. On data management, you can see the number of records per entity; you can think of showing the stage.

How about those dots that moving ? I think I saw it somewhere but cannot recall right now. It's like dot-dot that goes from left to right.

Hi VoltedDev,

Are you referring to the one like below?

If yes, its available under navigation

Payroll >> Earnings statement processing >> Generate earnings.

I guess earning statement processing uses RunBaseBatch for batch process. Refer to this class and you can find out the above design.

Thanks,

Hi,

I think showing as process is running is viable with SysOperation but if you want to let user know program running across these stage I think it will be hard. You might try to implement different Sysoperation for Confirmation -> Picking -> Packing -> Invoice and call it separately one after another maybe.

Thanks guys,

This is actually only for User Interface's sake, nothing crucial. It is just the process takes longer than usual because it's calculating something first, but not on a big amount of records. I even not using RunBaseBatch or SysOperation Framework.

About the "dots" thing, what Girish screenshot is exactly what I referring to, and the class PayrollEarningGenerationTask, is it ? I can see it is based on RunBaseBatch, however I failed to found at which method actually starting the simulation ? Is it an Avi files ?

Thanks,

Hi VoltesDev,

If you extend the RunBaseBatch class you will be having this automatically. You no need to write any coding for that. But in your case you are not using any of the batch classes.

So I think this may not work for your scenario.

Other way will be as mentioned by Andre Arnaud de Calavon adding refresh button - So the user will click on the refresh button to see the status.

Thanks,

Girish S.

Hi Girish,

I'm sorry, but it's me again :)

As I tried with RunBaseBatch, I didn't see the animation of "in progress", is it because my process not too long ?

Thanks,

Override method "canRunInNewSession" method must return true to show the "in progress" dialog.

Thanks,
