Auto-detect

Use this feature to auto detect and configure new data types

Last published at: December 27th, 2023

themAuto-detect functionality allows the user to detect and re-configure/restore data types along with their configuration information. 

Navigate to Administration - Data Types - Utils menu option to select Auto Detect feature. The custom data types (DLL files) can be included in the application by choosing the other option viz. Auto Detect from DLL and Auto Detecyt from Directory. 

For example, the “Clscheckbox” data type is removed from the data types page. The “checkbox” data type gets restored when the user goes to the auto-detect page, selects the “checkbox” data type, and clicks on the “Manage - Configure” menu item as shown below.  We highly recommend using the auto-detect feature to auto-configure data types. 

The auto detect page is rendered in new tab. The new data types are detected and listed in the table as shown below. Note - these data types requires manual configuration before use. 

Click on Manage - Select all Records menu option to include all data items in the table. Click on Manage - Configure option to add these data types to the application. An alert notification is shown for successful configuration. The application can now use these data types.  

Note: Any data types which are used by steps cannot be removed.
