Mapp Script Users: We Need Your Feedback

[kovarj (Jaroslav Kovar)]

Hi BRCommunity!

Hope you are enjoying the summer and finding some time to recharge before the busy season starts again.

While we’re in the middle of the holiday period, we’d like to ask for a few minutes of your time. The mapp Script Product Manager is collecting feedback to better understand real usage of mapp Script, how well the current functionality fits real project needs, and what could be improved in the future. Feedback gathered now can still be considered during upcoming development planning, so this is a chance to directly influence where the component goes next.

Here’s what you’ll find inside:

• Whether and how you use mapp Script
• Feedback on current functionality
• Ideas for future improvements

You can check the full details here:

mapp Script Feedback Survey

Every response helps ensure development focuses on features that are actually used and needed. If you’d like to have a stronger impact on what B&R develops, don’t forget that we also have a dedicated category for AS / AS Code requests in the Community.

Looking forward to your feedback and active contribution to help shape future development.

Survey is ON. Thanks to all who found the time to answer. I want to point out one important thing:

Are you the one who has no idea what the mapp Script is? → Please also contribute to the survey

answer only the first question, and that’s it. To you it will take 15s, for us it has big value, because we will see that we need to promote it more

Hello,

We just encountered missing feature in mappView and not event mappScript can solve it

It would be really nice to have customizable error page, the one that says connection to server was lost or transfer is in progress. Even simple background color and image change, similar to bootlogo setting in .vis file would be nice. That would enable customers to make this page coherent with rest of the visualisation, what do you think?

Question for @hobi72

[hobi72 (Christian Hobelsberger)]

The error page / message was not intended to be customizable for mainly three reasons:

1. It was seen as system message … similar to system messages you have in Windows or on your smartphone. There it is usually also not possible to change such messages, according to the look and feel of your app …
2. It should be guaranteed to be able to clearly see and recognize the error message as such.
3. During normal operation you should never see the messages - they should actually be a real exception to show up.

Currently there are no plans to change anything here. But as always: If a customer has a need, feel free to get in touch with sales / product management and open a product request for further investigation.
