I am trying to capture a description for a user problem so we can log that with a bot. Are there any sys entity that can do that or is there a way to create an entity that can capture any random sentence the user enters?
Thanks.
You're looking for #sys.any. #sys.any captures any value. Be careful with this system entity and be sure to give very good user says examples when using #sys.any or you can end up with unhelpful input.

i'm new to system modeling and i have some problems expressing my ideas into diagrams especially into use case diagram because of the lack of dynamic interactions let say.
precondition : user must be connected
specifications
user will be able to view all his notes(in the home page kinda).
user can check a specific note and modify it by changing its title or its body or both.
user can access create note from the home page.
he must add title and body and at least one tag.
user can access create tag from create note page and from the home page.
when saving and returning to the main page system should save the note into backend.
when creating a tag user must enter the label and specify the color.
Questions:
1- is this a valid use case diagram for it?
2- should i add an association between the backend and create note and create tag?
No, that's not really a valid UC diagram. UCs are about added value. You started functional decomposition (like most people try when starting with UCs). A UC represents a single added value the system under consideration delivers to one of its actors. Here you have a note which for which you have CRUD. Unfortunately that already gives one a pain. Is the added value a general Manage X or is there a fundamental difference between Show and the editing? That depends on the context and there is no general answer to that. However, you do not describe steps you take (actions; like enter xy) or various scenarios (activities) as single use cases. You need to try to synthesize as much as possible in a single UC to show added values. This is difficult for techies.
As a rule of thumb: if your UC diagram resembles a spider web then your design is likely broken.
As always I recommend to read Bittner/Spence about use cases.
As a tester, I'd like to know whether it is possible to restrict the manual creation of new objects by the user. The restriction should be done programatically in ABAP, not by removal of permissions.
Background information: we have quite complex objects which are hard to set up manually. Therefore we have implemented a wizard, which does all the condition checking etc. when creating the object. Also, if the wizard shall work, the user must have appropriate permissions to create the object.
Is it possible to remove the object type for that complex object from the list which appears when creating a new object (pressing the New button)?
As I'm only a tester for this part of our software, I can't show any existing code. I just got the feedback "It's not possible" and that's hard to believe for me at the moment. Usability really suffers, because people try to create those objects manually and can't make it work.
I also don't need a working code example, just a hint (class or method or setting) for the developer where to find a solution. I'll then insist that he implements it :-)
Update
Today, the user can click the "New" icon. Then, a dialog appears with 4 choices. 3 choices are for simple objects which he shall create like this. However, the first item in that list is for the complex object, which is impossible to create manually (why we have the wizard). I'd like to know whether it is possible to remove that item from the list programatically.
ᵺṓᵯᶏᵴ, the information you have provided is still a bit vague. However, here is an idea that may work for you.
It might not be possible to completely automate this process, but you could ask your developer to enhance the code that processes the New button, so that it would reject any attempt to bypass the wizard for the first item on the list.
Your developer can tell you if it is feasible in your case, to have the enhancement raise an error (message of type E) to stop the user from proceeding.
This would have to be combined with end-user training to tell people to avoid the New button for that item, and use the wizard instead
ᵺṓᵯᶏᵴ, it looks like a custom dialog so it should be possible to remove it the option, alternatively if it is a standard dialog in a SAP app there is always a way to restrict it, it can be as simple as disallow entry from specific transaction codes. for example the developer could set a variable at the start of the wizard and then check for that variable when creating the object, if it not there he can show a dialog "Please use the Wizard we carefully crafted for your use......" Ok maybe you wont say all of that but you get it.
So the answer to your query is yes it can be done but the approach will depend on what it is your changing custom or standard object etc,.

I use acts-as-taggable-on https://github.com/mbleigh/acts-as-taggable-on for tagging user's post, I want to find one user's all post' all tags and list them, Is there a high performance method ?
You need to add acts_as_tagger to the User model
refer to https://github.com/mbleigh/acts-as-taggable-on#tag-ownership
then you can use the methods provided. If you're starting from a blank db, this should work but may need to run through some re-assigning loop to have the tagger association work.
Assuming your data is correct, you will then be able to do:
#some_user.owned_taggings
#some_user.owned_tags
Hope this helps
I want to create custom context in OpenERP. Need something like polish notation in domain with '|'. Need also hierarchial like 'region_id','child_of','region_id.parent_id'. is it possible?
thanks :)
As far as I know, you can dump any data you want into the context, and it's up to the server-side code to interpret that data. The only time I've run into trouble with context was when two screens used the same key in context but put conflicting data there. Then visiting one screen would break the other screen.
I'm building a support form for my application. I'd like the user to include their Operating System and Browser they are using, catch is the general users either don't care to look this stuff up or don't know how. I'd like to add a text-input that automatically grabs this information for the user and displays it in the text field. Not sure how to go about doing this as I'm new to rails. I'm assuming I'd have to tie this in with javascript or a model that is attached to the form.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
you can read it on the server side so there is no need to bother the users.
request.env['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] should do the trick. You can also read some more information like the accept language or accept encoding. Just look at the keys like this: request.env.keys and check what could be of use to you.
