I am attempting to use the session prperty lastActivity to drive a session custom property that acts as an inactivity timer. That expression binding is working well and when displayed on a page the number is accurate. The expression fails to evaluate in designer but does evaluate correctly on any o…

You're getting caught up in a common Designer vs. Session context issue. In the Designer, there are no pages; the concept doesn't exist. But some pieces are dependent on a reference to pageId not being null, so we provide the View name as a placeholder within the Designer. IN a running Session, tha…

Thanks! The first solution you proposed worked well for my application.

Is it possible to use your first code example on a Session Startup event? I get a log error stating that global name 'self' is not defined. So I changed it to session.props.id and got object has no attribute 'props'. Is there another way? thanks

It would probably work with some changes, but you're going to run into name collisions just trying to use it like it is because the supplied kwarg is session. if currentValue.value > 2: all_sessions = system.perspective.getSessionInfo() for user_session in all_sessions: if user_sess…

I am having a similar issue and I fell upon this page. I have a system.perspective.navigateBack() on a menu tree but it would not sync up with session customs. Not sure how I should go about it right now. Here is the code I have for reference (which is in onItemClicked action): Machine_6802 is the…

Having the script is nice, but only if we know what isn't working for you with regard to your expectations. Under what scenario does your script not do what you want?

It goes back to the previous page but it wouldn't sync up with session customs. Session customs is bind with a drop-down box bidirectionally, which makes the entire view change based on the machine selected. If item clicked, it would go back to Machine_6802 despite other machines being clicked Cl…

That tells me you either have "Machine_6802" as the default value of that self.session.custom.previousMachine prop, or self.session.custom.previousMachineis evaluating as false-y. Or self.session.custom.previousMachineis "Machine_6802" and you're never updating it.

self.session.custom.previousMachine is empty even when that code is executed (after the item is clicked on the menu tree)

[image] athenabelle: self.session.custom.previousMachine is empty even when that code is executed So then you'd always enter the else statement and therefore always use the hard-coded value. You need to update that previousMachine prop anytime a user clicks a machine. Also, it will only ever …

Would it be helpful changing that to an array/list? That's what I have it on
