Customize Bonita Studio Form Builder Palette

Designing forms for end users is already pretty straightforward – it’s relatively simple to define and configure the fields in a form using the drag-and-drop widgets provided in Bonita Studio Form Builder.  Did you know you can adjust the widget palette to change the way it displays the widgets available — and even customize it to show only the widgets you use most often?

There are 3 different display views of the widget palette.  Right-click on the palette to see the options.  Use “customize” to select which widgets to hide from your custom palette (or to show them again).

If you want the maximum amount of space for your form grid, hide the palette completely.

This video shows how!

(For maximum whiteboard space, you can hide the Overview and Details panels too.)

Behind the scenes with Bonita (18-24 April)

Dear community,

Solutions Linux – BonitaSoft will be there!  La Défense in Paris, on May 10 – 12.

We’ll be offering demonstrations and workshop to introduce Bonita Open Solution.  Here’s an opportunity to book a meeting with a BonitaSoft expert.

Maintenance release BOS 5.4.2 is now available to download.  BOS Version 5.5 is being completed – watch for it in about a month.

Hey, is Bonita Open Solution connected…or what?

And here is Bonita Studio developer Mickael Istria’s joint presentation on Agile software development at MixIt Lyon.  (It’s in French – but light on text!)

The Latest from R&D

Sprint Milestone 4 of the 5.5 release is [nearly] complete…which means the internal release of the next BOS version is [nearly] ready.

Now to debug, test and stabilize…

The road ahead.

Behind the scenes with Bonita (11-17 April)

Dear community,

The development work “Behind the Scenes” of Bonita Open Solution is paying off in some interesting ways!

We received the Eclipse Community Award for Best Modeling Tool.  The Happy Penguin (Open Innovation Award 2009) and our mascot @Barbie__Bonita seem a little…jealous…of the new arrival.

Nice, too, to be the subject of Bruce Silver’s appreciation.  Three Cheers for BonitaSoft – we’re ahead of the pack in incorporating the BPMN2 standard.

The Latest from R&D

We’re not really celebrating our award…we’re celebrating the arrival of barbecue weather.  Read the rest of this entry »

JBoss and Selenium – no love at first sight

Few days ago, I encountered some difficulties in setting up Selenium tests for a webapp running in JBoss. There was only one issue, actually, but it was a big one and it was hard to find. Here I’ll describe the symptoms and explain how to remedy this problem.

Community help needed: let’s complete the translations for BOS release 5.5

We’re approaching the release of BOS 5.5, and we need community help to finalize translations.

If you have a specific language need, please have a look at the Babili translation tool, and offer your suggested translations for the new functions, tooltips, wizards, etc that have been (are are still being) added.  Babili is synchronized with the build, so you will be translating as the last sprint is completing.

The planned deadline is 15 April.  We’re aiming to have your language translation completed and validated, with your localization package installed into the 5.5 release.

To help with translation, access Babili at: http://www.bonitasoft.org/translations.

Don’t remember how to use Babili?  Or never used it before?  Here’s a post with more information, including a tutorial.

And remember…

Have fun…
Amusez-vous…
Viel Spaß…

…with Bonita!

(and 希望您能快使用博尔尼塔 too of course!)
