In acumatica, is there a reason why some published customisation projects disappear from the Publish Customisation screen? - acumatica

I have found recently that a couple of newly created customisation projects seem to have disappeared from the Publish Customisation screen. I was wanting to make a change to one of them but I couldn't find the project anywhere.
On the login screen, I can see which customisations are published, including the two projects that have disappeared, which I have highlighted. The changes in those projects are still working, which is great, but if something was to go wrong or I needed to change the functionality, then I wouldn't be able to find it.
Here is the login screen with the publish projects highlighted.
And here is the publish customisation screen which is sorted by all published customisations. As you can see, the two highlighted projects are missing.
Do you know if there is a reason why they would be hidden, and if there is a way to make them appear in this screen again?
Thanks for any assistance on this.

As Joshua mentioned, the instance has multiple tenants, so I just needed to make sure that I published my customisation to all tenants.

Gitlab Hide Projects From Dashboard

Problem
I have a gitlab with a lot of old repositories. I want to mention my gitlab as a reference on my CV but I do not want all the old repositories to appear there, just the more relevant ones.
Just making the projects private is not enough as this leaves a lot of clutter in my dashboard and it is hard to see the projects I am trying to showcase.
I do not want to delete the old projects, as I want access to them in the future, I just want to hide them from other people to see that they even exist.
What I Tried
I tried archiving the old projects but they still appear on my Projects lists, just with an archived tag.
I saw mentions of playing with the "Metrics Dashboard" under the visibility settings but this is greyed out for me + I do not think this is what I need from my understanding.
Required Result
For me to be able to choose which projects appear and do not appear in my gitlab dashboard.
Thanks in advance for any help available!
EDIT
I found out that I can star and un-star projects, and that will count as activity on the project without actually changing anything. As the dashboard displays projects by when there was last activity on them then you can actually arrange your project by staring and un-staring the projects in the reverse order you want them to appear.
This somewhat does what I want, but with an ugly work around. Also it will always display 10 projects as far as I can tell, so if I want to only showcase 6 of them the best I can do is push the 4 I don't want to the bottom, but I still can't hide them completely.
This is why I am not writing this as an answer to my question. There has to be a way to just tell a project to be hidden or arrange the projects without this ugly workaround, and if there truly by design isn't a way of doing this then it will also just be good to be officially told that.
GitLab Groups do exactly what you need. See here for more info.
You can assign each project to a different group
You can move a project from one group to another as needed
You can assign different permissions and visibility for each group
You can also create subgroups
Each group/subgroup is treated as a separate namespace, meaning you access it using a different URL
So you can define a public group called yourfullname and a public subgroup called portfolio. Move the projects you want prospective employers to view to the portfolio subgroup and make sure their visibility is also public. All other groups/subgroups should be private. Then people can access your projects by visiting the following URL:
gitlab.com/yourfullname/portfolio
You can still view all of your projects in a single dashboard if you want, or you can view all projects within a group or sub-group by navigating to the desired group URL or dashboard. In the image below, archive and development are private (see the lock icon), but portfolio is public:

Customised Screen missing when package is exported

There's something fishy with the way the projects are being exported. Say I have two companies, a production and test. I move customisation projects between them. From testing, I wrote a new screen MA.20.20.20. And under custom files, the ASP files are listed as follows.
Once working I exported this project, got the ZIP file and then imported into production. For some reason, my customised screen MA.20.20.20 is missing from the list in the production. It's just blank ! The ASP files are still listed though and I checked ZIP project. The physical files are still in there.
So what's am I doing wrong here?
TIA
It sounds like you are referring to two different entries in the project. Your files are the pages in the pages directory while it seems like you also have screen modifications to your custom page files which I assume under customized screens would require a site map entry.
Are you including your sitemap entries in your customization project?
It seems like a little glitch in Acumatica. Publishing anyway ignoring this would solve the problem.
This is just a permissions issue. Make sure your role has access to that particular screen. It's a bit strange as I would expect the screen to show within the Customization Project for the administrator but apparently it doesn't. I had faced a similar problem where in my local instance access permissions was Not Set for any roles and thus I could see the screen. But in production one of the roles had the access Revoked for the screen and thus even the admin couldn't see the screen even within the Customization Project.

Can Visual Studio tell me when others make changes in TFS

I use VS 2013 premium with TFS. I can easily see stuff that I have changed (with Pending Changes). However, how can I see all the stuff that other people have changed in this solution? I know that I can just do "Get Latest Recursive" on the solution, and this will give me all the updates. However, I want to see a list of updates to this solution, but without actually getting the updates. Is that possible?
Edit: Ideally I'd like to have a real-time indicator, like a red light comes on whenever someone else checks in anything to the solution. And then I can click it to see what the changes are.
If you go to Team Explorer --> Settings --> Project Alerts you should be able to setup an alert that will email you when "Anything is checked in" but I've never tried it.

Specifying Azure subscription when creating website

I've been playing around with the new "Websites" feature of Azure (which I believe is still in beta), but I've run into a problem. I've got two subscriptions associated with my account - one for personal use, the other for my company. And of course, I'd like to be able to specify which subscription is used when I create a new website. But when I try to create a website, it always picks my second subscription, and never gives me a chance to specify which one I'd like to use. Nor can I figure out how to move the website to a different subscription after I've created it.
I've walked through this several times now, and I can't spot any place where I can specify which subscription to use. Is this just a beta glitch? Or have I missed something?
I ran into the same thing, called MS support. Switch back to the standard portal to make this change.
To get to the old portal hover over the green "preview" button at the top. This doesn't seem to work in Chrome for me, just IE.
Do take a look at my response on MSDN Forums for a similar question there: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsazurepurchasing/thread/d9624b03-1d6c-484a-9fa8-8548c35a9d4f/. Basically you would need to activate this feature for each subscription separately since it is in preview mode.

How to secure content in Orchard CMS

I'd like to use the roles and membership ability of Orchard CMS to limit access to a staff portal in Orchard CMS. At present there doesn't look like there's an out of the box way to do it.
I've found numerous references to modules that should be able to help out but none seem to work.
Very Simple Permissions is a codeplex item suggested by some that has a dead link nowadays and doesn't seem to exist on codeplex.
Science Project: Quanta destroys my site everytime I try to install it with a missing dll issue, and not sure if its what I need anyways.
Does anyone have any guidance as to how to either: show/hide menu items based on roles using the standard menu system or advanced menu plugin
or
limit content visibility based on roles. If its a module fantastic, otherwise don't mind getting my hands dirty with some coding but a point in the right way to do this mvc style would be great. I'm going to presume I need to edit the controller for the menu module to check for current membership and adjust the view data accordingly. I'm moving away from webforms. slowly. Still getting my head around the framework.
Thanks for checking in.
For those who are still struggling with this, there's a module is called ContentPermissions which is available here:
gallery.orchardproject.net/List/Modules/Orchard.Module.Orchard.ContentPermissions
Once installed, you can then add the ContentPermissionsPart to the Content Type you want to secure.
Quanta really is what you want. You are probably missing one of its dependencies. Pete, the author, is also super-active on the CodePlex forums so if you ask there, you'll get an answer.
UPDATE: Orchard 1.5.1, the current version as I'm writing this update, supports content item permissions and menu trimming out of the box.
